Forbidden Fantasy with my Best Friend’s Dad
For what felt like an eternity, I just lay there, blank, unable to cry, unable to feel anything but this hollow ache in my chest.
After what must have been an hour, I gave up on sleep and dragged myself to the living room. I turned on the TV and mindlessly flipped through channels until I landed on an old romance movie. I recognized it instantly, it’s one of those tragic love stories where fate cruelly keeps two lovers apart, despite their deep and undeniable love.
I settled into the couch, pulling a blanket around me as I let the film play. The characters’ passion, their struggles, their heartbreak... it all mirrored my own emotions. Every stolen glance between them reminded me of Jackson.
