The House Of Crushes

the crush

Benjamin's perspective

It is fall which means the "love"festival will be next week. The festival is not really about love and stuff but Boris and I call it the "love"festival because Samantha gets home with a new girlfriend every year.

I never really go to the festival, but my mom keeps saying I might find myself a girlfriend there. I'm not even into girls. Not that I'm planning on telling her I'm gay any time soon tho. Even Boris doesn't know, Samantha does. I didn't tell her but she's just always known. She knew even before I did. At least she doesn't know I have been crushing on her brother ever since we were 15 years old.

15 seems like a long time ago. Back then we were still in school. I remember always checking Boris out while we were in the gym. Now we all have our own jobs so Boris and I don't spend that much time together even though we live in the same house.

Maybe we can go to the festival together, you know like friends do. I might even have the courage to tell him I'm gay. Maybe even.... No he doesn't need to know about me having a crush on him. After all I'm pretty sure he's into girls.

Oh he got back from work, great. Now I can ask him to go to the festival with me.

Bj:"Hey man." "how was work?"

Boris: "Oh it was okay I guess, work is work after all."

Bj: "How 'bout you take a day of next week and we go to the festival together so my mom will stop saying we need to go out and get ourselves a girlfriend."

Boris: "yeah, sounds good."
