-Pretend Love-
Chapter One
"I have love for my family
I have love for my friends
That's as far as it goes,
And I must let you know
My love for you was pretend."
-The Avett Brothers-
He never looks at me.
He's never liked me.
Why would he?
There is way too much for him to look at right now. So many beautiful women around this place. It's ridiculous.
Sometimes I'm the butt of his jokes. I could never let him know I was bothered by it, though. I always gave it right back to him.
I listened as he made a snide comment about a coworker.
What an asshole.
It would be way worse for me if he were a nice person.
He reaches around me to grab his beer.
Too close.
I squirm.
I look at him.
He's talking closely with the blonde again. He's been with her before. I can tell.
Just stop!
Look at his friend. He keeps looking over here and smiling. He's interested.
Talk to him.
We talk, but I don't remember what about or for how long.
When I let him kiss me, all I can think about is someone else. The same someone else I always thought about.
I throw caution to the wind and invite him up.
Thank you for reading and letting me know what you think.
I promise this is a real story, not just Bella's internal dialogue.
The actual chapters will be much longer than this! -Rosy
