Maddy

It was so weird to see their friendship blur and change. If only for a few minutes, Maddy believed he had deeper feelings for her than just friendship. That first kiss was tender and sweet, and man did she want more. But they also posed for a few picture perfect kisses for social media that had no feeling.

The ride back to Cleveland felt too long after a day of traveling and being out in the sun. She was exhausted. But most importantly, she was trying to figure out if Petey meant anything by that kiss. She wanted to chat with a friend. Normally, she would talk to Petey.

He asked her, "What's going on in your mind?"

"It's nothing." She tried to dismiss his questions. She wasn’t ready to tell him what was really on her mind. Her thoughts had been lingering on it since the engagement party. She couldn’t be stuck in the friend zone.

While he didn’t stop staring at the road, his hand reached towards hers. "I don't buy that for a minute, Maddy."

"Well, it's true." She knew her voice wasn’t all that convincing, but she hoped he was going to let it drop since he went silent.

"It must be about me, then. I hope I didn't screw anything up today."

It was shocking for him to even think he might have screwed up. Sure, things were muddled by the kiss, but he didn’t mess up. "You didn't. Today was really nice. I promise."

"Okay." He seemed less than satisfied with that answer. "But if I overstepped what you’re comfortable with, you'll tell me, right?"

"Of course." The crazy thing was, she never thought he would do anything that would make her uncomfortable. He might confuse her, but that was the worst thing possible. It seemed easier to say he would be the perfect boyfriend rather than ask him to be her real boyfriend. "We can just have some fun this week. I don't think you realize you're the perfect boyfriend, if the right woman ever catches your eye."

"Yeah, right." He scoffed. He never did see how he had it all. It had nothing to do with his money or the fact he was hot as sin. He had the whole package. Sweet, caring, and so protective. He always asked before taking things.

"Seriously. I know you don't see it, but you are the stud in the movies that the girls want. They would see it if they just got to know you." She stopped herself short of saying she wanted him.

"That's the problem. Nobody wants to really get to know me. They either want a one-night stand or the bank account. I like how you see me for who I am.” Was this his way of going to the next level?

Still not ready to tell him she loved him for who he was, she deflected. "Everyone else is so dumb. If they only knew how to see you. But you don't put yourself out there nearly as much as you could."

"Like you are any different, Maddy," he shot back.
