“So good.”Â
Kristina’s eyes widen and she mouthed. “I think she’s having a sex dream”Â
I nodded, pressing my knuckles to my mouth as I stared at my drooling best friend on the bed. Someone would think the was dreaming about food with the amount of drool that slithered down the sides of her mouth.Â
“Definitely about Ryan” piggled as Mira gripped the sheets and let out a small moanÂ

“It honestly!Â
“It actually does,” I admitted, snorting a little. Kristy looks over at me and smiled faintly. “Think she’ll say yes to being Ryan’s girlfriend soon!”Â
I lifted my shoulder into a shrug, looking over at Mira. It was always hard to tell what Mira was thinking about. She was not one to reveal her true feelings openly. She hid them very well. But I know she wants this, and I hope she’d get over that fear of someone loving herÂ
“I don’t know,” I admitted. “Only time will tell I guess.”Â
“IÂ

My eyebrows shot up in surprise. “He doesn’t want you to wait?”Â
She shook her head, her eyes falling to the closed book sadly. “He wants me to have the full high school and college experience. Dat and find someone better,” she pulled out her cheeks. “There’s no one better than him.”Â
My brows furrowed. “So he’ll wait and put his whole on pause for you….yet doesn’t want you to wait on him and find someone better?”Â

He’s a confusing one isn’t he?”Â
Inodded. “Oh definitely. But I don’t know, it’s kind of sweet he’ll wait for you even though there’s a chance you may find someone else.”Â
Kristy looks up at me, her eyes hard with honesty. “I love him. There will be no one else.”Â

I have this giddy feeling in my body and butterflies in my stomach while I wait for him to answer. He opens the door in a few seconds, so quickly I am more than certain he had already known it was me at the door.Â
