Half-hearted, she looked at the decorations she had spent hours to prepare - the perfect setting, only for him, them!
But would there ever be a 'them', was its all one-sided?
Alone, she stood, knees almost trembling not making it to the chairs she so enthusiastically had arranged.
Those hints and shy smiles, the healthy flirting - did she just over-think and day dream after all?
She just couldn't grasp what he said on phone, it was unbelievable; not this day at least, when she was about to blurt her feelings for him.
But, what about his admission, that he was gay?

Thanks
DeleteHopefully you'll all remain the best of friends.
ReplyDeleteOh dear, that didn't go the way she was hoping. Not sure there is much to be salvaged here except perhaps a solid friendship?
ReplyDeleteMaybe but not sure if she wanted that...
DeleteNice twist at the end. Hopefully they will remain friends.
ReplyDeleteSometimes it's best to find out sooner rather than later
ReplyDeleteAgree...
DeleteIt's not easy, no matter the reason it doesn't work out. Nicely told!
ReplyDeleteHow disappointing! It took a lot of courage to be ready to confess her feelings. Perhaps all is not lost.
ReplyDeleteNo reason they can't remain best of friends, unless she can't handle the truth.
ReplyDeleteI hate it when that happens! Unrequited love can be the strongest love of all, but it's based in fantasy after his admission. Well-told story, Nandini.
ReplyDeleteThank you
DeleteI can hear her disappointment. This could be the start of a wonderful friendship though.
ReplyDeleteYea...
DeleteThanks a lot @everyone.. much appreciate
ReplyDeleteDear Nandini,
ReplyDeleteWhat a bitter disappointment. At least he's being honest with her. Well done.
Shalom,
Rochelle
thank you Rochelle :-)
DeleteIf only there were a way to read people for those of who don't do it so well before feelings creep in. Very relatable story.
