Crush

Why is it, that whenever you get a crush on someone, you can't tell whether they're
crushin' on you?

In Lilac Reynolds' case, she couldn't tell that her bad boy, best friend of thirteen years did in fact, like her back.

In Carter Blacks' case, he was so in love with his best friend that he didn't want them to ever be apart, even if that meant suppressing his feelings for her.

"Why'd you screenshot my Snapchat story?"

Carter turns his head, studying my features before replying, "So I could jerk off to it."

I scream and punch his shoulder, "Carter!" He guffaws with laughter not bothering to dodge my punches.

"I was kidding!"

I sigh and stop my attacks, "Good."

"But I do jerk off to you, Lilac, you're fûcking hot."

I attack him again.
