I Dont Know What's Going to Happen



Yesterday morning when I woke up I was still pissed off. So I decided do stop by his house and give him a piece of my mind. I was going to yell, scream, hit him, make him feel like shit. I had it all planned out. I drove to his house and rang the doorbell. He opened the door with a surprised look on his face. "Hey...?" he said, and gave me a hug. Damn, I thought. Why'd he have to hug me? I couldn't hit him then. I couldn't yell or cry or be angry with him at all. He has such influence over me it's disturbing.

We stood on his porch and had a big talk. I can't remember everything exactly but I told him how horrible he made me feel sometimes. How I felt like he was trying to replace me and memories of me with his girlfriend. I want him to have new memories, but I want him to remember old ones, too. I know at one point I started crying and he hugged me close to him. Then he told me that I made him feel like shit, too. A while ago. I told him to tell me everything that I had done wrong and everything that he was mad at me for... So he got it all off his chest. Everything came out. He was on the verge of tears, too. After we got all our anger out, things got softer. We talked about how we liked each other, how he's scared to be with me because he doesn't want to get hurt again.

As we talked, I was kind of flirting with him on purpose, like playing with his jacket strings and zipper and tickling his neck. At one point I put my hand on his chest, right over his heart. It was pounding. I let out a small laugh.
"What?" He asked.
"Remember when I used to rest my head on your chest and listen to your heart?"
He smiled.
"Yeah, I remember. It was your favorite thing to do."
And so I did again. He moved his jacket and pulled my head to his chest. His heart beat even faster. I smiled into his shirt and turned my head so that I was breathing him in.
"Are you smelling me..?"
I smiled again.
"Yes. You smell good."
He laughed and asked what he smells like.
"Magic," I said.
I stepped away from him so that I could see his face.
"Do I have a smell?" I asked.
"Yes."
"What do I smell like?"
"Good. Really good."
I sniffed my hair, and he chuckled and said, grinning,
"No, not your hair..."
He pulled my hair all to one side so that the left side of my neck was bare.
"Right there.."
He leaned down and smelled my neck, then began kissing it. He kissed my neck, each kiss getting closer and closer to my face. He was about to reach my lips when I turned away, "No. I'm not going to be that girl again. The girl that makes the guy cheat on his girlfriend. I hate that feeling." He looked down and nodded. We continued talking about each other. How much we loved each other's eyes, stuff like that. We reminisced on the night of our first kiss. He remembered what I was wearing, what the date was, everything. I started playing with his ear, something I do that began that night and which I have done ever since. Eventually both my hands were worked up in his hair and his were pulling me closer to him. Our lips were an inch apart. He leaned in closer and I put two fingers on his mouth to stop him. He groaned.
In a whisper, "Come on..."

We gazed into the eyes of the other and it overtook me. In that moment I no longer cared that He had a girlfriend; it wasn't real, their love. But our moment was. I let him lean in once more and his lips brushed mine gently. For some reason I turned to go to my car and leave.. I was scared and embarrassed but as I tried to walk away he took my hand and pulled me back to face him and kissed me again. It went on like that. I would tease him, making him want me even more than he already did, and rarely give it to him. After a few more kisses, goosebumps, and dizzying amounts of butterflies in my stomach, I really did have to go. He walked me to my car and I stood leaning against it, talking to him for at least ten more minutes. This time, it was his turn to tease me. I wrapped my arms around his neck in an attempt to pull his face towards mine but he was able to lean back and resist my desperate attempts.

"Please..?" I asked, with my best puppy dog face.
"On the cheek," He said, smiling.
So I gave him a kiss on the cheek. I got in the car, started it, and the song Sing To You, by Table For One, was playing. I rolled down the window and took his hand.

*Would you let me sing to you, dry your crying eyes for you? Let my words take you away to a better view. You don't have to say anything about yesterday. If you listen, I can take your pain away* "This song is really cute," I told him. And so he listened while I held his hand and kissed his fingers.

When the song ended, he told me he'd miss me. I tried to kiss him but he turned so that I kissed his cheek. "One more?" I asked. He leaned in through the window to kiss me, then said goodbye. I drove home, smiling the whole way.
(:

But that was yesterday. Now I'm just confused. He's with his girlfriend right now. Their families got together for dinner. He hasn't talked to me all day... I don't think he's going to tell his girlfriend about what happened... and I don't think he's going to break up with her. The situation sucks for all three of us.

His girlfriend: has been cheated on and doesn't know it. Her boyfriend likes and wants to be with me, his best friend. She doesn't know this either.

Him: likes and wants to be with two girls. Wants to be with me more than his girlfriend, but is scared to because I hurt him in the past.

Me: I'm in love with my best friend, but he has a girlfriend and even though he cheated on her with me he's not going to tell her because he doesn't want to break up with her because he's scared to be with me because I hurt him in the past.

I don't know what's going to happen. I asked him if he was going to take a chance and be with me, and he said, "Baby steps. I'll get there. Slowly. It might take a year; or more, or less. I don't know." But I told him I'd wait for him regardless.

Sigh. I'm just wondering how long it's going to take.

  2. If he wants to be with you, he will be with you, regardless of how much you've hurt him in the past. Waiting will only end up hurting you. Cause you're the one sitting at home wondering if he'll ever come back while she's the one holding his hand across the dining table and sleeping right next to him at night. All you'll ever have are a few stolen moments and you deserve more than that.

  3. In my experience. Sometimes its hard for one to let go especially if they are currently in a relationship... no matter what history you have with them. I've been the one thats done the waiting. sometimes its worth it other times not. I admire your trust in the universe to let life take its course but I would also be careful. Sometimes waiting... you let other opportunities pass you by. Day by day. you'll figure it out. but don't be afraid to stop waiting because you deserve more

  6. uhh.. I'm sorry, but this story makes me sick. I understand that he's your best friend and you love him, but you being the "other woman" doesn't make this any easier. Put yourself in her shoes.

    Dont wait for someone who cant make you a priority in his life. If he doesnt feel bad about doing this to his current girlfriend, he probably isnt the kind of guy that you want to be with. Dont blame yourself for what happened in the past, we all make decisions and we have to be responsible for it. You said he cheated on you cos of the things you did, he is just making excuses. Whats his excuse for kissing you when he knows he has a girlfriend?

    Show him you are better than a back up plan, that you deserve more. this whole situation is so sad, i have been there before, and you only get strung along and end up being hurt in the end. Its not worth it and you should let yourself know, that you're worth more than this.

  8. this is soo frustrating to read this because i totally went through the same thing except his current girlfriend was the girl he cheated on me with. I refused to believe their relationship was real. I didn't take them seriously at all. But if hes still with her...then imagine how much longer those baby steps will be?

    I have been in this situation before. And to tell you the truth, the end for this mess is not easy. Me and the guy confronted to his girlfriend about what actually had happened, since his girlfriend apparently know me *the guy introduce his girlfriend to me*

    Obviously the guy cheated on his girlfriend and it's a very bad thing to do. But the guy also in confusion why did he did all that. Give him time to decide, he must choose only one.

    If the guy choose you, ask forgiveness to his girlfriend, it's like you are stealing her boyfriend away and this thing might happen to you.*what goes around comes around* But if he choose his girlfriend, you really need to grow up, and move on.


    I really like the way you tell your story though :)

  12. Noone has the right to judge! Everybody makes mistakes, right?

    My advice: you deserve, as every person, to be loved unconditionally and truly and someone who is going to love you for who you are and be committed to you and your relationship!
    Best of luck

  13. no one deserves to be cheated on. i think you should come to a conclusion that if he's capable of doin this to his gf,he can do the same to you too. i just feel so sorry for his gf.

  14. Imagine how you'd feel if your best friend was pulling something like this.

    Would you like the guy? Or would you think him to be a little sketchy?

    Would you condone her behavior? Or would you tell her she should keep in mind who she is going to hurt?

    I am not judging, nor am I saying that you're all completely horrible people for getting here. Sometimes these things happen and sometimes things ARE as complicated and heartfelt as they seem.

    But keep in mind how it looks. Things that look bad, usually -not always, but usually- are.

    Having said that, this is beautifully and romantically written. Excellent.

  15. Please let it be fiction! LOL

    I love how you always write about something that sometimes can relate to a person.

    Reading your story here... I know its never about you. At least not this one...

    To That friend of your will be better off without him in her life..

  16. I've been you before.

    It isn't going to be easy for you to get over the guilt when you finally realise what you did was so selfish. Control yourself please, sometimes it has to be mind over heart. All the best.

  18. I have been in this situation. And for all these people who have left such judgemental comments, you didn't need to, be sure that those hurtful things will already have been said in this girl's own head. It's so hard when you have been with someone, never stopped loving them, and circumstances have meant that they have ended up with someone else. The problem is, if you have emotions that last like this for such a long period of time it's almost impossible to get your head round the fact that the guy in question is not equally loyal but can't let go of either of you. The fact is it's irrelevant ultimately who he has the srongest feelings for, trust me I have been in a situation like this going on for six years, the other girl doesn't know. Only now am I finally able to realise that whether he loves me or not it is preferable to be without someone who doesn't make you feel you deserve to be chosen. If you still love someone with such a passionate loyal love as you obviously do then you deserve to be with someone who will love you in the same way. Not someone who doesn't love you enough to choose you or even let you go. That's not discounting the possibility that he has feelings for you, it just sounds like he is incapable of love as valuable as yours. Can you withstand the mental damage of constantly not feeling good enough to be the one he's chosen? Break out of the vicious circle and don't see him anymore. He's not your friend or he wouldn't play with your emotions like this. It's the only way you can move on and find someone who will love you in the way you truly deserve. Detox yourself of this selfish bastard.

  19. OMG ... I'm just thinkin' about his girlfriend right now , I don't feel bad for you , what you've done was selfish , I have a boyfriend and I wouldn't like that he cheat on me like that !

    ReplyDelete
  20. First off... those before me who have left harsh comments, let's take a deep breathe. This isn't OUR life. I remind you of the Bob Marley quote
    'Who are you to judge the life I live?
    I know I'm not perfect and I don't live to be.
    But, before you start pointing fingers,
    Make sure your hands are clean.'

    That being said, I'll be completely honest and say I've been BOTH girls in this situation before. And I don't think it was karma getting back at me since I was cheated on first before I was in our author's position.
    I feel for everyone in this situation.... probably least of all for the guy but still. I agree with Genesis who said 'sometimes things really are as complicated and heartfelt as they seem.'
    The girlfriend deserves the right to know. I know I wished I had found out a lot sooner about my boyfriends actions. It's a big betrayal, but it also made me realize how much we weren't right for each other, which I'm very thankful for.
    And being the other woman: sometimes you don't even realize you've gotten yourself into that situation until it's too late. I'm not using that as an excuse, it really happens that way for some people. And it didn't matter how ashamed I felt about it, I still couldn't shake the feelings I had for the guy. It was like my heart had gone rogue from my head. I was for all intents and purposes 'mental' over the situation. Only time for me fixed things in my own heart.
    So to our author: your story is beautifully written and you sound like a beautiful person who's stuck in a bad and hard place. Keep your chin up girl, and don't wait. He may be the love of your life right now, but anything worth waiting for won't give you that much heartbreak.

  21. my heart broke reading this... for you... for her... for him... if only it was as easy as turning off a switch... i can see each perspective... how one can get caught up in the moment... how devastating the outcome will be for someone... my heart breaks for the confusion love creates... you are more important than you realize... you matter... never forget that... ever

    ReplyDelete
  22. you write well. but you use your beautiful writing skills to try and cover up the guilty thing you did, which is really sad. but no matter how romantic you make it seem, the fact is: you WERE that other girl, and you could have said "no don't kiss me" but you seduced him instead.

    Hmmm, this is very interesting....

  26. oh my god. this is such perfect timing because I'm going through a similar situation. My best friend/ex boyfriend hasn't cheated on his girlfriend with me; however, he tells me he misses me & still cares about me a lot. He keeps saying things like "you never know what the future will bring", etc. and every time I try to let him go, he refuses to let me go anywhere.

    Honestly, people who haven't been in a similar situation wouldn't understand, at all, so in my opinion don't take their advice too much to heart. I realize there's another girl with feelings that is involved & that's really shitty, but no one can understand until they're put in that exact situation. If my ex would kiss me while he has a girlfriend, I honestly would not be able to resist. Now, I'm not saying that you should let him take you forgranted, either, because that's not right if he's just stringing you along. I've gotten advice from a lot of people, but no one can really understand it except for the 2 people in the relationship (in your case - you & this guy). You can take everyone's advice into consideration, but in the end you're going to be the one dealing with whatever you decide, so follow your heart & what you believe to be right for YOU.

    It's so hard; I truly feel your pain - it's like your stuck in limbo. You know you'll wait for him for as long as it takes, but what if he doesn't come back? That's how I feel, anyway. ...I finally decided today that I'm going to let go & act as though we'll never be together again. I gave him back everything he's ever given me, pictures of him, etc. today. We both cried - it hurt like hell. It's the hardest I've ever done, and probably will ever have to do because I love him to death, but this way I won't miss out on anything else that comes my way. And like someone else has said, what's meant to be will always find a way. Just believe that.

    Good luck with everything, and just try to have faith that everything will work out perfectly eventually - no matter what the outcome is. Keep your head high, and chin up.

    Do NOT wait for him. It'll just be a waste of you time and more heartbreak. If he wanted to be with you he would've taken action and dumped her. He would only be concerned about your feelings and not hers. Since he doesn't really know what he wants then that's a clear signal that you're being played.
    Either give him a deadline or waste your life away waiting for a relationship that's never going to happen.
