Ian

You know the worst thing about falling in love? Getting friend-zoned.

I was patient. I waited five years for her to end her last relationship. For her to realize he wasn’t good enough for her. For her to be ready to move on.

I was done waiting. I had to tell her the truth. That I wasn’t the same guy I used to be, bringing home every woman in our small town. That I was the guy she was sharing secrets with on the online dating app. That I was single, and ready for her to be mine.

I had to tell her I loved her.

But what if she didn’t feel the same?

Not likely.

But I also couldn’t keep him at a distance like I did with everyone else. He would learn everything.
