My bestfriend and I (true life story)

in #freewritersyesterday

Early last year a girl had a crush on me... I actually never knew about it till her friend who was also close to me exposed me to that truth.

Sincerely i never had an idea how i should act around her. Is there a book about that? Well, i haven't read it yet. Few weeks later we became acquainted to each other. The way she acted around me confirmed the words our mutual friend told me.

Few months later, i relocated to another city but we were still in the same state though.
Out there in this new city i met a girl. The situation that led meeting this particular lady was the strangest yet the most commonest.

We had been in the same faculty in university for four years but we had never said more than a 100 words to each other. But this time, she chatted me up from my WhatsApp status because i had posted where i spent my weekend (in a church program outside town).

Because of that singular chat she spurred, i replied and kept replying and we kept texting till she couldn't wait for me to come back in town.

When i finally came back, she was prepared for me. She asked that i visit her. I did visit her and she gave me a warm welcome. She stayed together with two of her friends and they were surprised that i was the guy that kept their friend awake at night by 1am chatting and laughing.

I was actually already acquainted to one of her friends because we also had a mutual friend. So knowing a person in her clique already made the meeting a familiar one.

Our friendship blossomed that we had already discussed that we won't date each other because we were just final year students and she was also older in age.
So no dating. But deep down we really had feelings for each other but i wasn't going to be selfish enough to date her knowing that she had a life ahead of her after our final year in school.

The girl who had a crush on me also started chatting me up on WhatsApp. It had been long since weast spoke and since it was a crush, it must have moved to the place where all crush ends up.

I also became good friends with her too because we texted often too. But, someone wasn't happy about it. Though we had agreed not to date, a part of her still felt that i was her man. And the feeling was also quite mutual.

But thankfully with time, she was attracted to another guy and i was out of the picture for her. But the girl who stayed in a different city, who had a crush on me.... Yeah that amazing lady. We are still friends till this second.

I don't ever want the friendship to end for any reason. At least not from my end
