51 partes Concluida "Here's the deal," he began. "I know you don't feel the same way about me, and I know that it's very possible that you'll never return the feelings I have for you. That's why I've come up with a solution to satisfy us both."
"I'm listening," I responded, admittedly a bit intrigued.
"Today is December 14 which would be exactly twelve days before Christmas. Are you familiar with the classic Christmas song, '12 Days of Christmas'?" he questioned.
I chuckled, shaking my head at his absurd question. "Uh, who isn't?"
"Well then, here's my proposition for you: For exactly twelve days, you let me be your boyfriend," said Joey.
"Joe, I-"
"And before you say no," he said, cutting me off, "I think both of us could benefit from this deal. Know why? This would be my one chance to make you fall for me. If you don't by the time Christmas rolls around, then I'll leave you alone or we'll go back to the way things used to be - me and you, best friends and only best friends."
He took a shaky breath before adding, "Besides, we're not really running the risk of 'ruining the friendship' since, and forgive me for the harsh words, but the friendship is already ruined so..."
"Well... What exactly would we be doing for twelve days?" I inquired.
"Well, since you asked, we'd be going on dates, doing stuff that would make you fall for me, and most importantly, we'd act like a couple. To summarize, you'll be getting the full boyfriend experience," he chuckled with a proud grin plastered across his face.
"Interesting proposition, Joey," I complimented, giving him a little dorky applause. "I'm in. Your chance to prove yourself to me starts... now."
Without saying another word, he wrapped his arms around my waist, drawing me close, and he brought his lips to mine.
