"Matt, what are you talking about?" I asked.
"You know what, forget it." Matt said.
"No… no, tell me."
"Li… you and me… we've known each other for a real long time."
"Yeah…"
"And… I've been dating bitches and you've been dating assholes and… we're best friends."
"You're not making any sense." I laughed.
Matt sighed. "Who do I complain to? About my girlfriends at least."
"Me."
"And who do you complain to?"
"You."
"And we're always talking about how we need to find the 'right one'… our 'true loves'."
"Yeah."
"Well…" Matt cleared his throat. "You're mine."
Wow… I really didn't know how to respond to that. So I didn't.
Matt turned around so I was facing his back.
"I cannot believe I just said that." He mumbled, covering his face.
I gently placed a hand on his back. "I'm glad you did." I whispered.
Matt turned around. "You are?"
I nodded. "You're such a great friend… and I'm happy I know how you feel… but I just… I dunno, Matt –"
"You don't feel the same way about me." He said softly.
I grabbed his hand. "No… no, it's not that… it's –"
"I understand, Li. It's okay."
"Matt –"
"I said it's okay."
I sighed. "Fine. Hey look, I gotta go… I'll see you, okay?"
"Yeah."
