"Ravioli or Pasta?"

we had just gotten back from the boardwalk, and were now deciding what to have for dinner

"umm ravioli?" I added

"good choice, I hate pasta"

I got the pans and started rinsing them. The stove was on max and I was stirring it.Ondreaz situated himself behind me, his arms wrapped around me in a monkey-like embrace. His head rested on my shoulder and I could feel his soft brown curls on my neck. He was clearly comfortable, nuzzled up against me.

As the pot got hotter and hotter. The pot was steaming now, I felt my anxiety grow. I was at a boiling point.

I- I said loudly, stepping out of the  warm embrace

I CAN'T

Ondreaz simply looked at me, curiosity burning in his eyes

um it's just that Carson and I..but I didn't mean it that way but then somethings happened and then-I quickly spewed out

explain..-he said way too calmly

and for the first time, I did, from the very first encounter to the very last. His face remained the same, zero emotions showing.

"and that's everything until now"

"you know we can always break up right?"

I knew he was trying to be comforting but those words cut through me like a knife

"I mean, stuff happens, people break up" he continued, so he wasn't mad atleast

"go after him"

"WHAT?!?!" I was now majorly confused, what is he talking about, he wants me to be with Carson?

"If you love him as I loved you, don't let him go"

I just stared back at him, sort of horrified

"no.," I added

"I don't love him, I mean I don't think so..he's my best friend.. I mean I don't know"

"go.," he added a sad smile emerging from his face, almost lovingly

I don't know why I listened but I did
