AUTHOR'S POV

" How long, Brad, until how long will you continue to hide yourself from her, steal glances at her, at the same time pretend to only see her as a friend, not a woman. Don't you think it's time that you tell her everything? " Conner said earnestly

"I don't know. It's just that i can't risk our friendship. It's too valuable to lose. Somewhat incomparable" Brad confessed his dilemma.

"Can you live to see her with with another man, have kids with him and live happily ever after with that guy, can you witness her husband, her kids as your visitor in future? " Conner asked.

"I'd love to see that scene, " Brad smiled at the irony, as a tear escaped from his eyes. As long as she's happy . he thought to himself

Stella, who too come to drink at the bar to have a few shots, overheard the boys . She had been eavesdropping since the beginning.

"I knew from the beginning that you lovey-doveys are not just friends . Now, my Brad Pitt, you've confirmed my doubt. Poor Teresa, the timing's a bit messed up., since I came for Brad before you. Wish I could convey your intense feelings to Teresa. Don't worry, Brad I will be loyal gf and will treasure your secret with me. " Stella smirked, her lips curled into a grin.

Stella stood to her feet and her heels clacked out of the bar.

"Today i will immerse myself in drinking and drown in my sorrows, " The half tipsy Brad murmured.

"I'm sorry pal, I can't be your company. I have to go. Make sure to call me when you're done. I know it's wrong, but I won't tell you to stop. Rather today I approve your choice to drink. Drink as much as it needs to forget your sorrows. Either bury your sorrows, or be brave enough to change your sorrows into blissful moments." Conner, having said so left, while Brad gulped another shot and responded shaking his groggy head,

" Either bury your sorrows, or be brave enough to change your sorrows into blissful moments." Conner's words nagged in the back of Brad's mind.

BRAD'S POV

I will do so, Conner.

I'm coming for you, muffin. I said affirmatively.

"you're here, I was looking for you, " My eyes caught sight of a familiar face, Teresa.

"that's good, then Brad, " Teresa sounded a bit out of her normalcy.

"I love you, " i confessed in a barely audible tone, still hesitant . No, I have to tell her today.

"Seems like I have to drop you home, you're not fit enough to go alone. You reek of alcohol, Brad.

I stumbled and approached, my one arm around Muffin's shoulder, the other dangling by my side.

Throughout the drive to my house, I made sure not to doze off.

"Do you have the keys?" Muffin asked. I was a bit taken aback, she usually keeps the spare keys to my house, well maybe she doesn't have them with her now, she left it at her home.

Once we were inside the house, I locked the door and my foggy eyes met Muffin's.

I tried to free myself out of my grogginess as I need to witness her reaction.

" I love you" I burst out my heart

The next split seconds we were in each others' arms, flushing, kissing passionately. I was not expecting things these fast, though I was enjoying every inch of it. These unpredictable moments would deeply be engraved in my heart till the end.

I didn't know when I had dozed off, but when I woke up, I was tongue-tied.
