Pansy looked around the room in disgust. "What kind of hotel sells condoms?"

Blaise grinned as he picked up the foil-wrapped package. "My favorite kind of place."

She rolled her eyes. "You're a perv, Blaise."

"I'm a guy, and I'm hoping to get laid. There's no harm in that."

"Part of me wonders who you think you're talking to when you say that."

Blaise adjusted his shirt and then placed the condom in his back pocket. "What do you mean?"

"You do realize I'm not one of your guy friends, right?" Pansy spat.

"Huh?"

She wanted to grab her hair and yell her frustration. Why didn't Blaise see that she had breasts and wore perfume? Just because they had been best friends for years didn't give him the right to treat her like she was one of his guy friends. Why didn't he see...?

Why didn't he see how she felt? Instead, he was talking about all of the girls he was going to shag this weekend. He didn't even know how hurtful he was being, how her heart felt like it was breaking.

She stormed out of the room in a huff, not even bothering to try to get Blaise to see what was right in front of him.


Blaise winced as the door slammed shut. Sometimes it was hard to have a best friend with so much spirit, but that spirit was one of the reasons he liked her so much.

He wasn't an idiot. He knew she had feelings for him. And he felt things for her as well. He was just scared. If they crossed that line, there was no going back. If it didn't work, they would never be best friends again, and Blaise didn't want to lose his best relationship because they tried a romance.

He knew she hated that he treated her like a guy, but it was his way of distancing himself from her so he didn't give in to his urges. It was juvenile and it seemed to be driving her away, but he didn't know what else to do.

He could always tell her the truth, but he didn't see her being so accepting of the fact that he knew about her feelings and pretended as if he didn't know.

He laid on his bed with a heavy sigh. This really was a lose-lose situation, wasn't it?
