"Why would you do this?" I shouted at Masen once we were alone, "Why? Why would you propose to me out of the blue?"
"Why are you so angry?" He asked calmly.
"Shouldn't I be?" I asked with disbelief.
"Bella..." He sighed, "I just feel we're wasting our time. As you also admitted, we're not going to find anyone else. Nobody could understand us better than both of us."
I had no idea what was wrong with him.
Why was he doing this?
"Yes, we understand each other as friends should, but there should be more than that when it comes to spending life together," I said.
"But we can work on our differences," he said, "I'm willing to do everything that's required."
I sighed.
He wasn't getting it, was he?
"Because that's not going to be enough," I snapped, "I've feelings for someone else..."
I realized my eyes had begun to fill with tears as I admitted it out loud.
I honestly had no idea how and since when my feelings for him became so intense.
I didn't know the answer to that. The one thing that I knew was, it hurt!
"So why didn't you tell me when I asked you the other day if you had anyone else in your life?" He asked.
"Because he doesn't have any feelings for me." I said.
Yes, it fucking hurt to admit it out loud.
"And I thought it might be better to have this discussion in person! I didn't want to hurt your feelings on the phone."
"Oh!" He said and took some time to process it.
"Does it really matter if that person doesn't even have feelings for you?" He asked, "Should we even let that come between us? It honestly doesn't matter to me. I'm willing to wait for you as long as you want me to."
