My Best Friends Wedding

We're Just Best Friends

I was completely shocked and not expecting him to kiss me. As much as I wanted this I knew it wasn't a good idea. I pushed him back and stared at him. Jon smirked at me and stepped towards me. I couldn't help but smirk back as he leaned in and kissed me hard pinning me against the wall of the elevator. I didn't even try to fight back. He knew I liked it and wanted it more than anything. The doors opened slowly and he pulled away and grabbed my hand leading me down the hallway towards my hotel room. He opened the door and pulled me to him. I smirked and watched him as he looked at me. I closed my eyes and moaned softly as he pulled me closer and kissed along my neck. Suddenly his phone rang and he pulled away and walked to the other side of the room to answer it. I stood there like an idiot waiting for him to come back. There was ALWAYS something keeping us apart. Something always distracting one of us away.

"Yeah....yeah...ok...I'm coming down stairs now"

I tried to not look disappointed as he hung up and walked towards me. He was leaving me hanging yet again.

"Jon...."

He kissed my cheek and smiled "I gotta go. Bachelor party tonight. They're all waiting downstairs."

I half smiled and nodded trying my best to keep the disappointed and rejected look off of my face. He walked out of the door and I stood there holding it open watching him. He turned back around to face me and smiled and playfully poked at my stomach. I backed away and just stared at him.

"Hey...don't think about all of this. It no big deal. Friends right?"

I swallowed hard and forced a smile nodding

"Yeah...best friends. Have fun"

I watched Jon walk down the hall and step on to the elevator. I closed the door and let the tears stream down my cheeks. I threw my purse in the chair by the nightstand, stripped and stepped into the shower. I sobbed as I let the water run over my head. It was like high school all over again only worse. I closed my eyes and sighed deeply

Hey Maddy

Jeff walked up the bleachers as I sat and watched wrestling practice in the gym after school.  I looked up at him and smiled as he sat next to me smiling.

Hey Jeff. What's up

Is the idiot taking you to prom?

I chuckled and shook my head. No he's taking someone else. He won't tell me who. I think it's Lindsie.

Wanna go with me?

I looked over at him and laughed. He looked down and seemed kind of sad like I hurt his feelings. I realized what was going on and stopped and looked at him confused

I'm sorry Jeff. I thought you were kidding. I didn't know you were serious. I feel awful.

Naa. I wasn't serious. I just didn't want you to go alone is all. What's going on with you two?

I looked down, sighed and mumbled, Nothing

He shook his head and looked down, I don't get him. It's so obvious he likes you. I mean I know you guys are best friends or whatever, but I think both of you want more...I know you do

I nodded and looked over at Jeff

Promise not to say anything to anyone if I tell you something?

Yeah. I promise

We fool around a lot. It messes with my head. He'll take it to a certain level and then stop or something happens. And then tells me 'hey don't think about it too much...we're just friends.' Like...I don't think he knows how much it hurts.
