Moment of Truth

That night, I took Gwen to a date. We spend a great evening together. I knew I liked her. A lot.

I was taking her home, when we stopped at the red light waiting for our turn to cross the street. Out of nowhere, something made me look to the right, outside of Gwen's window.

That's when I saw you.

For some crazy reason deep inside of me, I wished for Gwen to disappeared in that very moment. And I scolded myself for that.

I noticed that you were with someone, but at the moment I couldn't see with who. The people blocking the scene passed and I was able to saw you, holding her tightly. That friend of yours. That japanese girl.

I knew you two were going out, and I was totally fine with that… until tat moment. The strongest wave of jealously I ever had rushed through me. I couldn't believe my eyes…

Benjamin Kirby Tennyson french kissing a girl in the middle of the street!

I always thought that you were more the super shy type of guy. That kind of person who rarely demonstrates affection to others in public. And there you were, holding that girl with such caring and passion at the same time. Not lust, but the attitude of someone devoted to his beloved one.

And I was so jealous of the girl.

For a moment, I wanted to be the one kissing you. The one you were so in love with. The person that can bring that side out of you.

Realizing that made me feel as if I had been blind until then. I understood, that I was in love with you. Since when? I couldn't tell. But, now that I knew, I couldn't go back to when I was oblivious of that. Sooner or later I would have to face the consequences.

My girl? She was totally forgotten.

That was the very moment of the beginning of the ending of my relationship with Gwen.

The red light turned to green and I had to drive again, taking myself far away from you.

The funny thing was… That my heart stay behind, with you.

The End

–––––––––––––––––––––––

A saw a boy that remind me a lot of Ben (I kind of had a crush on him for that reason ñ/ñU). One day, I pass by the place he works and this story pop up in my head. I knew the feeling that I want it to have, but it hadn't been easy to write it until yesterday.

So, after a lot of work to put it together, here it is.

Enjoy. n_n
