Chapter 2
October 15th, 2009
6:15 AM.
Hoagie was waiting outside his house as I pulled into his driveway. He had that same boyish grin on that I fell in love with 7 years ago. The one that made his hair fall into his eyes.
When I reached his front door, he held it open for me. He once again proved that chivalry is not dead. "So Gilligan," I put my hands on my hips as we were standing in his foyer, "Why am I here at such an hour?"
"'Cause you love me and you think I'm gorgeous," He smirked.
"Oh dear, you were always a kidder," I crossed my arms, "Because my feelings for you are quite the opposite."
He gave me a faked shocked expression and then turned it into a puppy dog pout. I rolled my eyes, "You're gonna have to do better than that."
Hoagie smiled mischievously and put one of his hands on my shoulder. He then tipped my chin up, forcing me to look at him. All of which sent sent shivers down my spine. Hoagie spoke, "Would it change your feelings if I told you that I love you and think you're gorgeous?"
There was a moment of silence between us. I knew he was waiting for me to say something, but I was speechless. He had no idea how much those words meant to me. Even if they were purely platonic. After what felt like hours but was probably only a couple of minutes, I smiled and nodded, "Well, how could I resist you, right?"
He gave me that grin again, "I know what you mean. 'Cause like I know, you love me and you think I'm gorgeous."
"More like beautiful," I raised my eyebrows.
He shook his head, "Why do you make me seem like a fairy?"
"You always did set off my gaydar."
"Oh Fan, you better be kidding."
"Never."
He laughed and pulled me into a tight hug. I squealed in pain. He continued laugh, "Not as tough as you look, Fulbright. I might actually have to start considering you a girl."
"It took you 7 years to realize that I didn't have a dick?"
"No more like 4 years. When you stated PMS'ing," Hoagie let go of me.
"Those were the days," I sighed.
"Fanny, you still PMS."
"So do you, Tinkerbell."
"Screw you."
I grabbed my chest like there was pain in my heart and cringed, "Ah, Gilligan. Just twist the knife you stabbed in my heart."
"Like I could ever hurt you," Hoagie said as he grabbed my hand that was on my chest and held it, "It would take too long for me to find another Fanny."
"Well, I'm one of kind, don't ya know? I let go of his hand and sat down on the couch in his living room, "You could never find another me."
He took a spot next to me and wrapped his arm around me. He then leaned in and whispered in my ear, "I would never want to."
As I forced down the butterflies in my stomach to calm down, I imagined this is what Heaven would be like.
