Falling for my best friend. novel Chapter 27

What am I supposed to do? Forgive him and pretend everything was ok? Just because he broken up with Nicole- Or the other way around- Doesn't mean I could jump in his arms and pretend I love him only as a friend again, and everything that happened between us never did.

But it did.

His words were like knives to my heart. It broke me even more. And once again, he didn't know.

"One for you and one for me." He whispered, his eyes holding so much emotions, it hurts to look into those hazel eyes.

God what does he do to me that makes me so weak every time I lay eyes on him?

My eyes flickered to the two gold rings and I let out a shaky breath.

He can't fix anything. Now anymore. I already confessed to him, let out all my darkest secrets to him. There's no going back.

"How can you give me a promise ring, when you couldn't even keep the one promise you first told me?"

Flashback:

Small arms circled around me and from his strawberry scent I knew who it was. I turned to look at him in his pair of funny color eyes as he stared into mines. He smiled at me and pressed our foreheads together whispering words in my ears, "I'll be your mommy. Because I promise never to leave you and always take you with me."

End of flashback:

"The day my mother died. Do you remember what you promised me?" I whispered, letting the tears roll down my cheek. He looked broken. Devastated and guilt swirled in those eyes I fell in love with. Eyes I still love.

"Lo-"

I shook my head and stepped back when he reached out to touch me. My eyes were burning and my nose stinging.
