Chapter 5: Friends

After we spent the night together outside of the bar, I knew that I wasn’t going to be shaking the feelings anytime soon. The more and more I hung out with him, the more I could finally see what everyone else was saying. There is a connection between us. But what kind? Is it just a friendship, or could it be more? Obviously, I knew what I was feeling was more than just friends. But what about him?? Did he see us as friends?

Chapter 4: The Perfect Gentleman

Love is a very complex emotion especially when you get the chance to actually be with the person that you love. So imagine what it feels like to be in love with someone you can’t have? Let me tell you…it hurts. Especially when there is an obvious connection that does nothing but continue to build. I had begun to realize that this was the probable outcome of whatever was going on between the bartender and I. Am I eventually going to get my heart broken?

Chapter 3: The Rock that Didn’t Roll

A few weeks had passed and I was doing everything I possibly could to go back and see him. Every time a friend would ask if I wanted to go out or if I wanted to grab dinner, I would usually convince them to go the bar. My closest friend and I quickly became regulars. After all, we’d find ourselves there one or two times a week. We even became acquaintances with servers that worked there. Then one day, she got news that would end up devastating the both of us.
