"So tell me. Are you gonna do it with Big Bill?" Richie and I were walking through the streets of beautiful New York holding hands. I hummed wagging a finger up at him, "Yet to be determined."
He looked at me in annoyance, "You've been dating for like what, a month, which translates to a year in college time, and you're still doing things that end with 'alking', instead of things that end in 'ucking'", he started to hump the air, and I hit him. "That's disgusting Rich. We aren't doing that right now, i'm not ready."
The talk with Bev in the library still didn't leave my mind. I could lead Bill on, not when I was in love with someone else. I had to tell him soon, but I just had to act like nothing was bothering me for tonight.
"Well when will you be ready, Eds?", he asked me in a deep soft voice. I scoffed and dragged him across the street, "I already said, yet to be determined. and don't call me that." He just groaned but his ADHD got the best of him when he saw muffins in the window next to us.
"If I got chocolate, would you get coconut?", he asked, hugging me from behind. I smiled softly, "No way, I would get chocolate chip, but you can have some of mine." I unwrapped his arms from around me, and kissed his cheek walking away.
"Okay, but here's the thing," I started going on about Bill, "He's A -Kind of obsessed with me." Richie hummed in agreement. "B - he's Canadian. That's a plus though. and C - a Bill which is just kind of-", I was cut off by Richie finishing my sentence. "Redundant."
"But! He tells me I'm his muse, which is pretty interesting if you ask me.", I grabbed the tip of my hat and posed. "Ooh, that's nice. that's nice."
"Anyways, I told him to pick me up from the building tonight.", I smirked at him, and turned away but I could still see him out of the corner of my eye. I saw him roll his eyes and silently scoff, "So you like, actually like, like him?
"I mean, I don't know. Maybe I do, maybe I don't.", I shrugged and continued to walk ahead of him. "Eds, you can't just do this to him. He was our friend for 8 years for fucks sake before you started dating him." I stopped in my tracks and held my breath. Don't say anything stupid Eddie. Don't do it. I just wanted to say, "I love you Richie, it has always been you. It will always be you." but I didn't, I just stood there not turning around to look at him.
I just heard Richie sigh and put a hand on my shoulder turning me around to face him. He looked everywhere but my eyes. "Would you kill me if I was too strung out for sugar?". I sighed and grabbed his hand, "Read my mind much." Well this is awkward, and it's never awkward between us. What's going on?
"Home?"
"Yeah, home.", I looked down at my feet as we walked back to the apartment building. I can't keep lying to him like this, but I have to. To save myself from staying, to save him from heartbreak.
