Is it enough?

They stared at each other. Like they wanted to pass through the brain of the person in front on them… 

-So, what do we do now? 

-I don’t know 

Silence. 

- I love you. Is that enough? 

And a storm broke in their eyes. They held one another tight.They wouldn’t stop crying. As if that simple question assured they would be together for a lifetime…

May 29th, 2017

The phone rang. 

“Come home today?”

Knowing the fact that this was probably gonna be a boring monday anyway I quickly typed my response:

“Maybe~~~yeah”

Blondie, my best friend, had recently moved by himself ten blocks away from my own home and i still hadn’t payed him a visit. I dressed myself with whatever within an arm length ratio, kissed my cat goodbye, and started my journey. Lipsincing my Kpop playlist as i walked, that one time Blondie tried to kiss me came to my mind. I don’t know why, that shit happened like 4 years ago, we were always great friends and stayed like that, he didn’t even bat an eye when I slept with his friend Lith, in fact he usually made fun of me for that. I don’t blame him, that kid was a blockhead, worst mistake of my life...anyway, by the time I finally found the address, he was already waiting for me at the door.  

“Welcome to my sanctuary, darling <3″ 

“Bitch, it’s huge!” 

And it was. A long kitchen with space enough for a small table which of course he didn’t have yet (and I doubt he will, ever), two couches and a 42″ smart tv on the living room and the best part, two rooms, one in front of the other, all for himself, he didn’t even want a roommate. 

“I know, I love it. Pour you some coffee?” 

“Yas, please.” 

He heated it in a big ass casserole, note to self: buy him a coffeemaker, and served me some. It was cold and tasted like shit. 

“you got somth to tell me, speak” - I started the conversation without hesitation.

“What? Oh, yeah, Lisa” - His, for now, girlfriend - “I don’t know girl, i’m pretty much done. She pretty much called me all the words for shitty person in the english language for some stupid thing i told her she was wrong on. She acts like a 5 year old, I cant with her.” 

“Man, i don’t know. I know you love her but she is quite impossible to speak to...”

“Well she does prefer virtual friends over real ones, it’s not easy for her. But she is already 26 years old dammit, get over it! Well, the thing is, I love her, but if she doesn’t change her attitude a little I can’t think of too much future with her.”

“Bummer...whatever man, she is so lucky to have you. I hope she realizes that soon enough”

The conversation went on in different directions until we got to the couch and started playing League of Legends. I love seeing how he gets mad af when he loses, he almost broke his mouse this time. 

“So, how’s Red? Haven’t seen him in a while.”- Maybe talking about his friends would calm him down. 

“I can tell him to come if you want, he would never miss the way I’m bombing this shi- HOW THE HELL DID SHE DO THAT?A LULU CAN’T KILL ME LIKE THAT AND YASUO DIED AGAIN ARE YOU SERIOUS?!?”

“HAHAHAHA, yeah, make that happen. I want to see that fatass again.”

He arrived quite quickly and i rushed to hug him like old times. 

“OMG you are so ugly! I missed you fatass! What’s with that beard?” - We always talked insulting each other, friendship goals.

“Shut up you Hobbit. Here, eat this stupid chocolate I brought for ya.”- Such a cutiepie as always. 

Actually, Red wasn’t ugly at all, he had lost weight and had grown a full face beard that really suited him. All in all he was quite cute. 

We chilled on the couch laughing at Blondie’s screams of anger as we caught up with our life news. We were pretty much the same. Last time I saw him he was breaking up with his girlfriend, he was single now, worked in the same place and still played basketball in the same basketball court I had met him about 7 years ago.

“Hey Blondie! I saw the new pirates of the caribbean trailer and the effects are dope af, we have to go see it.”

“Let’s! It’s already in cinemas, put a date to it” - I replied, shamelessly including myself in the plan - “I have a discount on Village Cinema”

“Me too! Blondie, you have the most fucked up schedule, you put the date.”

“How ‘bout today? I work at 12 a.m. if we catch something before 10 p.m. it’s fine for me.”

We got tickets for 8 p.m. Red bought them as he insisted in inviting us. 

The movie was crap and ended in a cliffhanger, a 6th movie, seriously? We were already standing, waiting for the post credit scenes. Blondie went up a couple of steps so I hugged Red and we commented on how we hated the movie and probably Blondie loved it as he loved all bad movies. 

“It’s nice this came out. Good to see you again. And btw, you ain’t ugly. You actually turned out pretty cute.”

“Shut up, Hobbit...You cute”

And it all went to shit from there. 

We stopped by for fast food, Blondie wasn’t hungry so I suggested buying for Red too and pay for the cinema. 

“You don’t have to pay for anything, I invited you so I buy!”

“Shut your hole”- I snapped giving the cashier my card. 

“See this 20? It will end up in your pocket anyway”

“Put it back, you idiot!”

The discussion continued until the food was served. As we ate we talked about random stuff as I realised something...I wanted to kiss Red.I don’t know why, I don’t know how, I just had the urge...shit, okay let’s roll with it. I figured, if I can get him to walk me home after Blondie goes, I can make a move...that mtherfucker is shy af he will never make a move on me, even if he wanted to...I will have to be quite blunt.

“Blonds, what are you taking for work?”

“I don’t know, my bus card doesn’t have any money left and i don’t know where to charge.”

“I’ll give you mine!” - Perfect - “Red, how ‘bout you?” 

“Well, I live a little past your neighbourhood so how ‘bout we take the bus, I’ll pay for your ticket with my card.” - Not quite what I figured but it was okay, i could make my move while waiting at the bus stop. 

We headed outside. It was fucking cold, I was freezing. 

“Hey, Frodo, want my jacket? I’m not cold I’ll just put it on so that I don’t have to carry it”

“Ok, bring it.” - It was huge on me, It’s length reached my knees, I put it around me like a blanket and walked. 

We left Blondie at the bus stop and headed towards ours. I took this opportunity to grab his arm and stood close to him. 

“Red, we are, like, literally 6 blocks away from my stop, why don’t we walk?”

“As you want, girl, I don’t wanna sound like a cheap ass saying we should walk”

“Ugh, let’s go”- This time I grabbed him by the hand, this was just perfect. 

We never let go in all the way, he ended up walking me all the way to my place, stating that he would walk home as well. The last three blocks were the key. I rubbed my thumb on his hand on small strokes and put my body near him, resting my head on his shoulder...as we walked...yeah, bad idea, but I still maintained my closeness after realizing that. 

“We are here, this is it”

“This is your home? Classy bitch!”

“Shut up idiot!”- I returned his jacket. C’mon, do something. I gave you the signs, do it. 

“It was nice to see you again, girl. Let’s do it more often” - We hugged for the last time. He wasn’t gonna do it. It’s now or never.

 “Say, Red.” - I grabbed him by his now-on-his-body jacket and bit my lip 

“Wha?”

“Can I kiss you?”

“Yes.” - His response was quick and dry, as if he had been waiting for me to say that all night. 

I couldn’t think, I had no time for it. I didn’t even wait for him to crouch a little. I just went full on my tiptoes and kissed him. And it was the most awkward teenage kiss ever, suddenly I was 14 again, but in a good way. I could feel he moved his arm as if he was going to hug me, but he put it right back to his place, he didn’t even move, so cute. When my feet got tired, I stopped. There wasn’t even tongue it was just a teenager drama light hearted kiss.

“Sorry, I just felt like it”

“Don’t apologize. Thank you,” - He smiled from ear to ear. That motherfucker wanted it too but was too shy to make a move, dumbass. 

I opened the door in total disbelief, said goodbye and watched him go (He actually thanked me one more time). And that is how I was stucked in a Drama for a full afternoon. 

By the way, did I mention that Blondie actually works at a haunted building? that night he had an affair with a bride looking ghost, I hope the best for them, anything but Lisa works for me.
