CHAPTER SIXTEEN - BELINDA

My dearest Vann. You are my best friend. You are my rock…

Oh, this is stupid. I’ve been trying to write some kind of big grand-gesture speech like the one he spewed out at me last night (that came from his heart and wasn’t planned out in advance), and I can’t think of what to say.

Do I love him? Yeah, but… it’s not like… love love.

I can’t explain it. I don’t understand my feelings for him.

It’s more than love, but less than love. And saying that to him sounds like one big brush-off. So I’m not going to say that to him.

The problem is, I don’t understand my love for Vann Vaughn.

He’s definitely my best friend. That’s not even up for debate. Even before Tara left, Vann and I were very close. We spent a lot of time together because of work. And I like our time together. That’s why I don’t want to fuck it up with this dating experiment. We know each other well enough that we have inside jokes. I know what he likes to eat when I grab lunch for everyone. I know how he takes his coffee. He doesn’t need to write it down for me. I could pick his favorite t-shirt out of his closet. If I had ever seen his closet, which I haven’t. I’ve been inside the Vaughn house millions of times, but never been upstairs.

Still, the point is, I know him.

And this knowledge of him came naturally. We grew from strangers to acquaintances to friends.

And this friendship is good. It’s perfect.

But if he’s so frustrated about me not giving him a chance to move on to the next step that he might not want to be my friend anymore, then I have a serious problem that deserves a thoughtful solution.

What will my life look like without Vann?

I’m suddenly sad. Because this is the real reason I can’t come to terms with his request.

Either way, whether I date him or not, this… love… we have, it’s over.

It either dissolves completely when we fail at being a real couple, or it fades away because I refuse to give him a chance.

I sigh. And then the sound of motorcycles filters in from outside.

It’s going to be a nice day, I guess. Every spring there is a Saturday when the Vaughn brothers get their bikes out and the ride season begins.

Today must be that Saturday.

And then I smile. Because I know all the Vaughn brothers now, don’t I?

I know what Vic and Vonn and Vinn get for lunch too. I know how they take their coffee as well. Maybe I don’t know what Vic’s favorite t-shirt is, but I could take a good guess and probably come very close.

It’s very comforting to be inside their circle. Especially after all the turmoil that came before being allowed in. It’s like a stillness. A sweet, slow stillness that people look for their whole lives and almost none of them find it.

This stillness, it’s better than money.
