She giggled and it was the cutest thing I've ever heard. We were laying on my bed, both of us on our phones. I desperately wanted to know what made her laugh but I didn't want to seem nosy. I look away from my phone and glance at her out of the side of my eye. She was beautiful. Something I never thought I'd admit. And no matter what I did, she was always on my mind. I knew it was bad. I was married and she herself was taken. I had always considered her a close friend and I didn't want to push boundaries. I glanced at the clock on my phone. 3pm. I sighed. "Do you want a cigarette I ask?" She nods and we get up. I wish I could just figure out what I'm feeling. Maybe then I would be able to stop it before it's too late..
