I Just Want To Be Friends Novels & Stories

I asked and he smiled. "Um... Well, I wouldn't beat around the bush. I-I would like to know you" I looked at him wide-eyed. Really? Why do I always meet the most straightforward people? "Ah... Oh.." "I-It's okay! Don't worry about it! Just think... Once" "Ah... Okay, I will" I replied. "But I... I don't know you at all" "Yeah I got it" he looked down. "Can we be friends?"

Clean. Jonathan scoots slightly closer. Not enough to crowd me, but enough to bridge the gap we have been carrying all day. “I want to be your friend,” he says. “Not a diluted version of what we were. Not an echo. A true friend.” I breathe out slowly. “And I want that too.” “No resentment,” he adds. “No regrets,” I say. “No half promises.” “No trying to fix each other,” I add. “We have done enough of that.”

I rolled my eyes. "Yeah. I will make sure I keep to my words." He sighed. "However..." "Of course there's a however" I groaned. I mean, he just cut my jubilation short. "However, I want to ask you if we can still be friends?" He stretched his hands forward. What's this? "I don't understand. Are we enemies?" I raised my eyebrow at him, confused. "I do not want you to view me as an ex-husband or ex-lover or anything. I just want to be friends with you. Let's turn over a new leaf" He said, his hand still out there

“That’s just it, If I tell you how to be then that isn’t really you. You can’t keep being who you think anyone wants you to be. You just have to be you, unapologetically. If that man is a man I want to be with, then all good. If not, we’re friends and co-parents to Abby.” “I know,” I say, squeezing her hand. “I want you to be with me because I am the man you need in your life not any other reason, and I won’t push you to change your mind if you do walk away from us romantically, I’ll let you. But we’ll always be friends. That’s how we started.” “Friends and parents to Abby.” “Always.” It’s time to be who I want to be.

Friends?” “Yeah like Alexis could come over for a playdate, we could have a drink, go do family stuff together like go to the fair, you know, things that friends do,” I said as she started to laugh. “Sure, we can be friends,” she said.

“Lena, I get it. I honestly do. I hurt you in more ways than I can imagine. I don’t know how to make things right anymore. I don’t know what you want.” “Everything about us has always been unconventional. We never had a chance to be friends without getting emotions involved. That’s what I want.” “Just to be friends?” he asks, a slight hurt registering in his eyes. “No, I want it to start that way. I can’t promise you anything, I can’t promise what the future holds, but I just want to get to know you again. I understand if you don’t want that.” "No I'm ok with that, friends." Lets shake on it he says with a smirk on his face.

I want to be your friend. - Stephen smiled. - Do you? - Of course I do. - But you already have a lot of friends. What will they think when they see me with you? - I don't care about that.

She got up and started to leave. “Where are you going?” “Back to my place.” “So soon?” “Yes, I don’t want to be around you at all if I have to move on.” “So we can’t be friends?” “No, when you love someone, you cannot just be their friend.” “Maybe someday.” “Why would you want to be my friend? You got plenty and a lot of them would love to be under you. They would give their life for you.” “I hope you would do that for me.”

I hoped I did not sound too excited. "No. I don't. Not until I get trained and equipped for the job, of course." Thank you lord. "What I do want is something bigger." I swear I did not want to ask. I was not ready to give anything to Aria. "Something like?" I asked, only for the sake of formality. "Your friendship." hell nah. "I want us to be friends. You know, on an informal level.
