Perhaps there is an unwritten rule that wasn't taught to us when we were just kids. The unwritten rule is that when you mix two friends and when one or both are physically and/or romantically attracted to the other in any way it is almost impossible for them to be just friends. Lynda and I fell into that trap. We didn't really have anything in common, and we were complete opposites. I was a Business major and she was Sociology major, I went to UCLA she went to USC. Technically we should have been enemies since both USC and UCLA have such a well-known hatred for one another, but I guess as the old saying goes opposites attract. The only problem was we were both too afraid to make a move. Sure we had our opportunities, but we kept missing them. So for about a year we remained friends. I withstood each and every one of her boyfriends. Although it was hard, I kept my heart from breaking. I guess she did the same while I was dating. But the fateful day had to come one day and it did. I had just broken up with someone and she came over to console me. I really wasn't sad because I was in love with Lynda not that girl, but I let her comfort me anyway. She asked me why I wasn't with her. At first I was shocked, I didn't know how to answer that question. I mean to suddenly have what you have wanted for an entire year present itself in front of you it's just sort of hard to learn how to gracefully accept it. But accept her offer I did. We started to date and as another saying goes your best friends make the best lovers. I could write of our time together, but what's the point when I can sum it all up in one word: perfect. I thought I had found the one that was going to last. I thought she was going to be the one I would settle down. But then again I think about a lot of things... |
