I square my shoulders and look at her dead in the eyes. “I don’t care about anything else, Sweets. I want you to be someone I can be myself with. I want to protect you, love you, and ache for you. I want to be the man that you seek for. Please let me be that for you…for us.” Is This Real?
Larry I pass her the chocolates and she opens it and takes one out. She bites from it and closes her eyes to savor the sweet taste. “Do you like it?” I ask. She nods. “You have good taste. Try it with me, Larry.” We sit together on the couch in the living room and I take one of the chocolat

"Maybe?" "Then maybe I am flirting with you." I think about it, every single detail, every word leading up to this moment, and wonder if this is what Sadie will call fate. Sadie, my absolute best friend, is a hopeless romantic and will probably call this a date when I tell her. "Alright," I s
