Ideal love

2

The next 3 months went by fast. Parker and I would hang out after school. We would walk to the coffee shop and get waters and then go to the park near by. We would hang out until our moms called us home. In the weekends we'd walk around town until it was late and we'd go home after. We got super close. He knew almost everything about me. I knew a lot about him to. After the first month I started to like him but I never told him. I don't know if he would feel the same or if I'd ruin the friendship. I didn't want that so I just never told him.

It was a Friday and we had just gotten out of school. We went to our usual place and hung out.

"All I'm saying is, it's not that hard to work on lines and do what you're supposed to do. It's not that fucking hard. I really don't get it." I said. He nodded. "Anyway, hows the beautiful world of Parker?"

"It's okay. Hey can I ask you something fire?" He asked. I smiled.

"Anything. I'm all ears." I said. He smiled.

"Do you ever want to tell someone something really important to you but you're too scared to lose them?" He asked. I sighed. Did he just read my mind?

"Literally every day. Every time I see this person I want to tell them something but I don't want to lose them. What are you trying to tell someone if you don't mind me asking? You don't have to answer." I said. He smiled.

"I may or may not have a crush on a person and I'm too scared to tell her cause I'm super close to her." He said. I sighed again. He likes someone. I don't know who but I bet it's not me.

"I'm on the same boat. But, Ooo Parker has a crush. Who is it? I won't tell them. You don't have to answer that." I said. He smiled.

"It's a girl. You know her. You know her very well." He said. I shrugged.

"Who do I know very well? I don't know anyone as well as I know you." I said. He smiled.

"You'll have to guess. Anyway, ooo Ash has a crush. Who is it?" He asked. I smiled. My face was red. You know what, I'm going to do it. I'm going to tell him.

"Um. He's my best friend. You know him super well." I said. He looked confused. I took a deep breath in. "Do you promise if I tell you, you won't hate me? That we'll be best friends still?"

"Of course. I'd never hate you. We'll always be best friends." He said. I took a deep breath in.

"Okay. Well the guy I like, his name is Parker Jones." I said slowly. He looked shocked but happy.

"You like me fire?" He asked. I looked down at my lap.

"Yeah. I have now for two and a half months. I'm sorry." I said.

"Why are you sorry? Ash there's nothing to say sorry about." He said. "Since you told me who you like, I'll tell you her name."

"You don't have to Parker. It's okay." I said. He grabbed my face and made me look at him.

"Ash I like you too. I've liked you since I saw you. I saw Matt push you and I got mad. I wanted to beat him up. I saw how beautiful and sad you were. I couldn't help but help you. I've been too scared to say anything cause I didn't want to lose you. I like you a lot Ash." He said. I smiled. My fave was redder than before.

"Really? You do? I was so fucking scared you didn't feel the same and you would get mad." I said.

"I'd never get mad at you for liking me. Especially when I like you back. I've wanted to say something. Every time I see you laughed with someone I wish it were me. You know how many times I've almost asked you out? A lot." He said. I smiled. Do I do it? Do I ask him?
