Hey guys it's me again and I need to tell you a story which happened last week. We'd been friends for over a year. The kind of friendship with harmless flirting, inside jokes, and late-night texts that occasionally teetered on the edge of something more but never quite crossed the line. I think both of us knew the potential was there, but neither wanted to risk messing up the dynamic. He was a cute little nerdy white boy.
That night, I invited him over to my house to help me move a few boxes. Nothing major just clearing out a small storage space in my apartment. He showed up with takeout, a bottle of wine, and that familiar grin that always made my stomach do a little flip. We ate, joked around, moved exactly two boxes, and then ended up in the kitchen just chatting as usual.
It was one of those conversations where the rest of the world fades out. We were leaning on opposite sides of the kitchen island, the air between us getting noticeably warmer with every glance. At one point, I made a smartass comment, and he walked around the counter toward me, laughing and then just stopped in front of me. he was very close almost too close.
