I'm working in a bar. Guys are flirting with me all the time, because what is better than a woman serving alcohol?
Shooing off the flirty guy didn't go exactly according to the plan, and after one stupid lie, I had to go on a date. With a guy, I didn't know.
But what if - just theoretically - I get to know him better. Our meeting might've been a coincidence, but our friendship wasn't.
Being with him is a time full of fun and it soothes my mind. I think he enjoys it too. Accidents happen. But accidents can't change what you feel about someone, can they?
Q: If the line between friends and more is starting to blur what can I do to stop it?
A: Nothing. This situation is far off from fixable.
My lie brought more trouble than I originally thought. Now the only things I have to guard aren't just my thoughts. My heart is there, too.

HI it's me! C'mon you know who this is! At least I hope you do because truth be told who I am anymore is a lot more of a complicated matter than I'd like it to be. It's all 'cause of him too, or maybe I'm just blaming the new guy for my newfound insecurities about her- about me I meant to say. Who am I kidding it doesn't matter what I say to you! You only exist in my head anyway! Maybe I really am going off the deep end.

"Why did you drink Zion?" I asked him locking the door. "I don't know." He mumbled walking closer to me. "Do you need water?" "No I don't, I said I'm not drunk just a little bit drunk. He muttered. What the hell? "How many fingers are these?" I asked him raising four fingers up. "Four." He rolled his eyes mumbling something under his breath. "Okay." I muttered holding his hand. "I'm mad at you Carter." He said giving me an intense stare. "Said that before, what did i do?" I chuckled. "You are playing with my head." He muttered. "I'm sorry." I whispered, I don't know why I'm apologizing to him but it's Zion when I'm around him I do a lot of things I can't explain. "Sorry is not enough, it can never be just the same way I can never be enough." He said. "You are drunk Zion." I whispered. "I want to kiss you." He mumbled biting his lip. "You are drunk, you won't remember all this tomorrow." I told him. "I'm not, I know what I'm doing. I promise you I will remember all this tomorrow something that a drunk person can't." He answered holding my waist. "Who told you all this?" I asked smiling. "Saw it in movies, people have sex, do crazy things and can't remember because of alcohol, but I promise I will remember especially if you let me kiss you." He said his eyes raking over my body. "Zio-"Complete

I try not to stare most of the time, but for some reason, tonight, I just couldn't look away.

The Bakery Love
"Are you sure that I don't make you nervous when I get closer to you?" he teased me. Each word he said he took a step closer to me. By now my heart was pounding so loudly that I thought he might be able to hear. Being near him made my thoughts all jumbled up but I wasn't going to accept that, especially not to him. So I stuttered a no. To which he smirked as if he knew I was lying. "Okay, so you don't get goosebumps or shivers when I do this, right?" he murmured as he gently traced my arm. And almost on cue, goosebumps arose where his hand had been on my arm. "Why do you have to lie?
