After a nice night out with John, everything that I had told myself that I wasn't going to let happen, started to blur a little bit. I told myself that the last thing I needed to do was get involved with one of my brothers’ friends. It didn't matter that I had the biggest crush on him when I was younger. What mattered was the fact that he was my boss and my roommate at the moment. I didn’t need to make it anymore awkward, because right now it was already high enough.

But then we had dinner together, and it felt like everything changed again. It was like the kiss we had shared during my brother's wedding. I didn't know that it would turn into what it had, but I would not change that either. That was the problem with John. It was hard to regret him, even though he was going to make my life so much more complicated. Truthfully, just being around him all the time was doing just that.

I thought everything was okay and it was only when I went to work the next day and saw my boss, that I realized it wasn't true. Apparently, the reason Dale and I weren't able to go out the night before was because John had given him a lot of extra work to do. Dale made it clear that he thought it was because of me.

“I don't think it's that way at all. John wouldn’t do something like that. He isn’t that sort of man.”

“John, huh?”

I tried really hard not to call him that because it showed a familiarity that I didn't want other people to know about. People at the office didn't need to know that we were living together, and he was my brother’s best friend. It would just make things awkward and I had already heard comments about me being brought in by John. I think that reason alone had given the people at the office something else to talk about. It wasn't exactly what I wanted, but I didn't really have a choice.

“Yeah, that's just what he told me to call him. I think he has everybody call him that.”

“Are you trying to pretend like you two don't know each other outside of work?”

I don't know what Dale was getting at, but I told him that it wasn't that way at all. I had agreed to go out with him because I felt like I was just being nice, but now I felt like I had to make this right. I didn't know how it was my fault, but I didn't want him to suffer because he had asked me out. That didn't make sense, and I was sure that it was just one big misunderstanding. That's what it had to be, right?

When I got home that evening, I asked John about it and he looked at me like he had no idea what I was talking about. I actually felt a little embarrassed for a moment, for even bringing it up.
