Love?

Grandpa, Michael has a crush on his best friend, but he wouldn’t tell her! Stop teasing your brother Ingrid and stop bothering your granddad, he needs to rest. But mom, I want him to tell us more about his crush, he even stopped talking to her because he is scared, she will notice. It’s alright Margaret, I can handle them. Well, I’m off to bed, do not keep your granddad up all night. So, Michael you have a crush on your best friend, what is she like? Is she pretty? Why don’t you just tell her? I can’t grandpa, we have been friends for five years now and I do not want to ruin our friendship. I think you ruined it already by avoiding her, what’s there to ruin anyways? You might as well tell her now and get it over with rather than wait till someone else snatches her from right under your nose. But grandpa, what if she does not like me and what if she laughs at me? What’s the worst that could happen Michael? She would say no and that’s it but if you don’t tell her now you will never know her reaction and she may like you too. Its so easy for you to say grandpa, you don’t know what it feels like having your first love at the age of 18. Almost everyone at school has been in a relationship or has had s*x and I am the only one who hasn’t so I do not know how I would feel if she rejected me. Do not think that I don’t know after all I was once young too. Grandpa who was your first love and what was she like? Oh Ingrid, I do not even remember who my first love was but there is one relationship I had that was memorable. Oh! Grandpa you have to tell us about it. I would but you guys may fall asleep before then and it will take an awful long time. You have to go to bed early so as not to piss your mom off. Grandpa we don’t have to go to school because we are on holiday so, could you please just tell us. Yes, grandpa Ingrid is right you should tell us. If you insist, I won’t deny you that information but beware of cringey scenes. “Ok grandpa”, they both shouted in unison.
