Just loaned character names from BTVS – However no vamps or demons – just everyday people!
Based on true events and slightly fabricated at times. Rated M as it will get a little raunchy!
First time doing this but would love any feedback. Thanks.
CHAPTER ONE
If you had to be with a girl…
One-sided love is hard. It's hard to watch the person you love be with someone else. It's hard that they only see you as a friend, a really good friend and that's it.
But sometimes, it felt like… I was more than a friend. Sometimes I read her eyes and they would tell me they want to be with me but they can't. Those deep brown eyes told me so many things that her lips could not…
Or was it my mind playing tricks; wishful thinking? Surely there's a thin line between innocent gestures and outright flirting/come on signals… isn't there?
After graduating I couldn't find my ideal job so I settled for a job at a communications company. My dull work consisted of data entry, data entry and more data entry. I'd made a really good friend, Xander; we basically took our breaks together and hung out after work – mainly consisted of drinking.
One night he randomly asked me, "If you had to be with a girl, who would it be?" He meant someone famous.
I started to rack my brains, I mean I was pretty straight as straight can be but I never felt uncomfortable with stating if a woman was pretty or beautiful. Okay so I was a little taken aback by his question but at the same time it really got me thinking. So I started to explain, "I like dark hair, dark eyes in men so I don't see why it would be in different in a woman, I dunno I quite find Eliza Dushku to be good looking." I meant hot but I went with a less lesbianistic approach.
A few days had passed and we were taking a break in the staff canteen at work. My eyes wandered towards the deli counter as Xander was yapping away about what we should do at the weekend. And there she was; the very loose description of the type of woman I wouldn't necessarily kick out of bed. She was tall, slim, dark hair with a little waive in it. She was waiting to be served and she glanced over at me. Our eyes may have locked for like 2 seconds but there was almost a look of recognition. But our gaze was interrupted by the lady behind the counter who started to talk to her. All this time Xander was still talking and I just blurted out, "her!" Xander looked confused. I looked at him and said, "you remember when you asked me if I was to be with a woman? I'd choose her."
Xander looked over to where I was looking and responded with, "nice choice, Buffy."
"Who is she? I haven't seen her before." I asked out aloud knowing he wouldn't have a clue himself.
