-

- it had been two months since you and steve got married

- you just celebrated your four-year anniversary six months before you got married

- so you guys had been together almost five years

- and it was the happiest you'd ever been

- you met sophomore year in english class

- you were paired to do a presentation on hamlet

- but you guys actually became best friends

- at first, you thought it was odd that his best friend was five years younger than him

- but you grew close with dustin too

- you swore you never laughed more in two weeks than you did during your project

- for a while you didn't think he felt the same when you figured out you had a crush on him

- it took you two months to realize

- but you told him one night

- you went to a party together

- you were drunk

- he drove you home

- when he tried to get you out of the car to walk you in is when you told him

- he dropped you on the grass

- you were crying laughing

- he laughed with you

- when you refused to get up, he sat next to you

- in the midst of your drunken laughing fit, it slipped out

- he was silent

- you were silent

- he helped you to your feet and walked you in, getting you to bed and making sure you took your birth control pill

- and then he left

- the next morning, you remembered what happened

- you beat yourself up over telling him

- but he called you and invited you over

- you reluctantly went over

- you sat on his couch next to him silently

- he was the first to speak

- "do you really like me?" he asked

- he sounded like he didn't think he was worth liking

- you nodded

- "i do"

- "how long?"

- "couple months"
