Awkward Fun!

(More) Fiction

That is the second day you wouldn't look at me. I didn't know there was going to be an awkward stage. Man, I haven't done one of those in years! How come you didn't tell me? But how would I know without you telling me? Really, how could I have misinterpreted so badly and skipped all that great fun!

Just look at the time I've waisted on being your 'just' friend when I could have been in transition mode. I could have come into work half done and unshowered! I missed out just because I was perfectly willing to take this thing to the sub level seamlessly. I suppose you would know that that's inappropriate; you learning to be normal and all. Maybe you wanting to be normal right now may teach me how to.

But Man oh man how I would have loved putting some lemon drops in my eyes to sport the red puffy look! I've wanted to since every one started doing it this season, just look at all people tryin' on hay fever. Unfortunately the lemon drops would have been necessary. I don't have hay fever and I just didn't cry. It seems I don't when something minor like that happens.

But now that I know where we are, for real, not friends just acquaintances that avoid each others glances every one in a while, I can leave work early. You know, when the sight of you just becomes too much. Melodrama! What great fun days off, lazy mornings and Halloween makeup tricks will be!

How long was this normal natural stage going to go on for again? Playing games is fun, but I hate watching the both of us be something we're not for too long. You know, that normal thing?
