My Love

Chapter 2

ALEX

I wake up and look at my phone. It says 8 a.m. I’m late. Ugh. Amy has already texted me this morning as well as Felicia.

Felicia is one of my really good friends. She used to date Shane, one of my closest friends for the last couple of years. We somehow bumped into each other at a snowmobiling get together up north and realized we live like 20 minutes apart. And ever since he hasn’t been able to get rid of me. I’m basically like his child. He’s 36 and I’m 24.

I go to read my messages and click on Felicia’s first.

Morning! Wondering if you wanted to grab breakfast before work? Lmk.

I reply back Running a bit late. Would 8:30 work?

I don’t even check Amy’s. I’ve been getting really annoyed with her recently. I feel like I don’t get my space. I really like to be alone and she just doesn’t leave me alone. I feel bad but I really also don’t care. It’s not like I love her or anything. It’s still pretty new which keeps making me feel like it’s not going to end well if it started this bad. I’ve ignored her for the past two days. I really should say something. I didn’t even go into see her at work last night.

I take a quick hot shower and let Nyla outside before I head off to breakfast with Felicia. God she’s so sexy. Thick curly hair that shines when the light hits her… f**k. What am I thinking? I have to stop. Should I even go to breakfast with her? I mean we are friends. Strictly friends. Yeah.

I hop into my brand new truck. Which Amy hates. She’s more of a Chevy girl herself which I find really attractive she even knows about tricks to begin with. But I have a 2020 ram and I won’t ever change to Chevy. She always wants to f**k me in it. It’s so hot. I start the truck and back out of the driveway. Making it just on time at Jelly Beans. My favorite breakfast spot ever.

“Hey handsome” I hear as soon as I walk into the diner. I look over and there she is. Her long legs slip out of the booth and she comes over and hugs me. She’s so tall and beautiful. f**k. I have to stop. “Hey there!” We both get back in the booth and look over the menu. The whole time at breakfast I can’t stop thinking about her. And how f*****g gorgeous she is. Am I wrong? I mean I should be able to think other girls are pretty, right? By the end of breakfast I’m hype for the day. It was just what I needed. We head outside.

“Well thank you so much for breakfast, you didn’t have to buy.” She says.

“Oh it’s my treat. We haven’t had breakfast in far too long. Do you need a lift to work?” She always ubers everywhere since she lives so close to everything. And most of the time walks.

“Would you mind? It would save me a couple minutes. I already have my bag packed so I can change when I get to work.”

“Not at all. Hop in.”

The whole ride I’m on edge. I keep thinking about her short shorts she’s wearing and the white tank top that’s slightly see through so I can see the lines of her lace bra. I already feel like I know her body. As Shane always told me all the details of every single thing they used to do. Yuck. I don’t want to think about that. I want to be the one to do those things to her…

I put my blinker on and pull up to the hospital. She’s a RN here at the local hospital. Something else I really like about her. She’s so caring and is such a hard worker. “Thanks so much Alex! We will have to do it again sometime soon. And thanks for the lift!” I just chuckle and bit and give her a hug. While we are hugging I can smell her hair. It smells freshly washed. Like a bed of roses. It’s still slightly damp. She pulls away and opens the door. She takes a deep breath and shuts the door walking into her crazy day…

Well that was an awesome start to my day. By the end of it I can’t get her out of my head. She always creeps up in my mind. It makes me sad. And just then as I’m pulling in my driveway getting home from work I get a text from Amy

Hey. Can we talk?

Sure. I say and brace myself.

Within 10 seconds she’s FaceTiming me. It looks like she’s sitting in her bed. Her hair wet and just a sports bra on. “Hey” I said. And she looks at me with a sad look in her eyes. “Hey stranger. It feels like it’s been awhile, two days with out you feels like an eternity.” I chuckle but change the subject. “So what did you wanna talk about?” Now I’m nervous. But let’s see where it goes. “I just feel like you’ve been distant with me lately. I know you have long hours and we live a little bit of a drive away. But I just want to make sure we are on the same page?” She looks down. Her green eyes start to turn almost a blue color when she gets sad. “I’m okay, just busy.” She nods her head. “Well Valentine’s Day is coming up next week and I wanted to do something special for you. Can I pick you up around 7?” I hesitate a little. And she can fully tell. But I give in. I don’t like her pretty eyes looking sad. “Of course. I’ll make sure I’m showered and ready.” She perks up a bit. “Awesome. I can’t wait. I’m going to make it so special. I have everything planned.” I just smile and nod. What the f**k am I thinking? Valentine’s Day with her? She’s so clingy. “Alright Amy. I’m gonna get ready for bed and play with Nyla for a bit. Talk soon.” And I hang up the FaceTime. Puke. I can’t believe I agreed to this…

As I lay in bed I can’t stop thinking about Felicia. I wish she was the one that wanted to take me out for valentines. Heck. I wish I could take her out. It’s just not fair to Amy… and with those crappy thoughts I head to bed. Tossing and turning all night long because I keep dreaming of both of them. I know. It’s f*****g weird. But Amy has this crazy side in bed that I can’t get enough of. But Felicia is just so beautiful and sexy and we’ve had a connection since her and Shane were together. I wonder if she thinks of me as more than a friend? Or if she wants to be more than a friend… finally I fall asleep.
