I knew it was a mistake… to tell her.

To tell her I loved her.

We were just friends with benefits. She didn’t have those feelings for me.

To her, beautiful, stunning, sexy Alicia, we were just fooling around.

But I told her anyway.

I don’t know why I did. I knew I’d get hurt.

I knew she couldn’t possibly be in love with me, too.

There are two rules: Never fall for a straight girl, and never fall for your friend.

I’d broken rule number two. Serves me right.

I walked out of her room biting back the tears, thinking how foolish I was.

Until I heard her call my name.

And then something amazing happened…

She told me she loved me, too.
