Text Me Back

20. I'm Just Going To Say It...

How did you like my family?

...Because they absolutely loved you.

They were lovely, Eric, and Skye was hilarious!

Thank you so much for inviting me.

You left in a hurry...was everything alright after dinner?

It was fine; I just wanted to make the drive back home before I got too tired.

You could've slept over, my parents wouldn't have minded.

We should talk first, right? Before I visit your place or we do anything else.

You want to talk about this over text?

We're struggling face to face, Eric, just admit it!

Let's get this over with here and now and we can continue to make fun of you later.

I think I took enough shots tonight; it's your turn after this!

So about that kiss...

I don't want you to think that's why I wanted to follow you upstairs, I wasn't trying to force anything upon you.

It wasn't forced Eric, I kissed you back.

You did

So what does it all mean?

We're still friends right?

Of course we are! I don't want to lose you as a friend.

And you won't. I just want to know what it all means, I hate being confused about us.

Hang on, there's someone at the door.

I'll be right back.

15 minutes later and no texts from Eric.

Eric? Are you there?

Hello?

Eric?

Okay, look I'm just going to write this here because I can't hold it in any longer. I feel so stupid trying to pretend nothing is going on between us.

I like you Eric Richman...

More than just a friend...
