A Or B? (On Hold)

Boyfriends Or Bestfriends

I got a call this morning at around 7 but I knew it was just Richie because goes and runs arans for an hour so he calls to check up on me. "Hello?" I say and wait for the otherline to respond. "Stanny, did I wake you?" A concernded Richie said. "No." I said, hoping that he'll go back and buy what he needs to buy. "Stanny, before I forget, can you come to our bird watching spot?" He asked. "Yeah, yeah ofcouse." I say, again, trying to calm him down, it sounds like he's, nervous. "Ok thanks Stanny, bye!" Richie said as he was hanging up. I went to go get changed but my normal clothes weren't there, just a pair of black jeans and a hoodie that looked large compared to me but I changed into anyways.

I was waitting for Richie at our bird watching spot, it was peacful and quiet until the one and only Richie came along, he was all dressed up and I just thought he was going on a date with Gretta or Sharon, it breaks my heart thinking about it but then I won't have to look at him as much. "What's with the flowers?" I ask him, he puts the flowers behind him so I can't see them, from what I saw they looked like a bundle of roses with a sunflower placed right in the center. "Dude, what up with you?" I ask, it's a straight forward question, I'm just surprised as he started stuttering his words, I coundn't make out anything he said. "Dude you sound like Bill. You only stutter when you're nervous so what's up?" I say, I don't even care anymore, I just want to know what's going on. "Well, I have a crush on somebody and they're really hot but I just don't know how to tell them." Was all I could hear because Richie was talking really fast and to be honst, I could only hear half of what he was saying.

"Richie,just say you like her." I say because I want him to get to the point. "It's a him, Stan." I say shocked but even more shocked that I didn't know about it, he tells me everything. "Ok, tell me who you like." I say, crossing my arms. "Well, you, I really like you." I blush a deep red and he hands me the flowers that he hid behind his back. "This is a joke."

I sat up quickly in a cold sweat and look at the clock next to me. 5:30. I put my hands on my face and plop down on my bed again and let out a loud groun, I'm luckly Richie is a heavy sleeper. I get out of bed and make my way to the kitchen and open Richie's mother's wine cabinent, look, I'm tired and I could care less that I'm drinking something that I'm not suppost. I grab the first bottle I see and pour some of it into a glass full of ice, I've never really been scared of many things but going behind Richie's back is really scary but I drank it anyways. I hear somebody waking up so I pour the rest of the wine in the sink and full the glass with water. I turn around to see a tired Richie coming down the stairs. "Hey Rich." I say, waving at him, he smiles and walks into the living room. I let out a sigh, then it clicked, I was thinking about Richie being my boyfriend because it's been 10 months after Richie kissed me. I walk into the living room and plop down next to Richie who was watching some news, why news, I don't know. "Richie?" I say, making Richie turn to me. "Yeah?" Richie says, giving me a small smile. "Today, can we hang out?" I ask, he nods and returns to watch the TV.

Me and Richie were walking around the park and it's never been this quiet, maybe because it's friday the kids aren't here to annoy me to death. "Stanny?" Richie asks, I nod and look at his dark brown eyes. "So I need to tell you something." Richie says looking down at the ground, stopping in his track. I stop in my tracks to look at him. "Rich, what's up bud? You look like to have a crush." I say because he really does and turns out I was right, when am I wrong? "Well, spill it out, who is it?" I say crossing my arms, Richie comes walking up to me and kisses me, he pulls away quickly. "I love you." Richie blurts out.
