make me feel.” Lyrics was
quiet. Awkwardly quiet. I roll to my side so that I am facing her.
         She looks at me and says,
“I just don’t want us to change.”
         I say, “Explain what you
mean, please, because it’s changed.”
         She thinks for a moment and
then says, “Guess I’m just scared to lose you as my best friend. I am scared to
lose your Mom and Dad too.”
         I let out a little chuckle
and say, “Oh please, Mom would probably choose you over me if we had a fight,
and Dad without question would take your side. Listen, Lyrics, I want more with
you. I want you to be my best friend and so much more. You are the only person
I have ever felt this way about. Heck, you already know that. We have changed,
and will continue to change but I think it’s a good kind of change.” She is
staring into my eyes as if she is searching, almost waiting for a lie to come
out. I never lie to her but I wish I could lie right now. I feel like she
slipped me truth serum that is making me blurt out shit I don’t want to say! I
run through the rolodex in my mind of stupid things I can say and I find this… “Lyrics,
if things don’t go great for us, promise me that you won’t make me sing about
what a dick I am.” She pushes me off the bed! “So, are you my girl now?”
         She smiles and says, “Tan,
I have always been your girl.” My heart and body respond to her words in a way
that I have never felt before.
         “I know, but I mean, would
you be my girlfriend?” I am thirty years old and I have never called anybody my
girlfriend. It is as if a Martian inhabits my body and starts rattling off
things that I would never say.
         Lyrics raises her eyebrow
at me and sarcastically asks, “Are you possessed? Where is Tanner?”
         She doesn’t answer the
question! It feels like a vice wraps around my heart, which reminds me that I
need to get a grip on myself, and quick. “Let’s get some grub, I am starving!”

 
    Chapter
6
    ‘They
say friendships get ruined by romance but I say it gets enhanced.’
    Lyrics –
         We decide on sushi for
lunch. The ride there is quiet and I know Tanner is upset about something I
said, or didn’t say. I glance over at him and he looks like he is a thousand
miles away. I put my hand on his thigh and he places his hand on mine. His
hands are so soft and strong, and the way he is dragging his thumb on my hand
sends shivers down my stomach and they settle smack dab between my thighs. He
looks at me and then sharply pulls the truck over on the side of the road. It
takes him about two minutes of not looking at me before he turns and captures
my stare as well as my breath.
         He takes a deep breath and
says, “Lyrics, do you trust me?” I want to say yes because he has been my rock
for sixteen years, but the truth is that I am scared to death that he will
break my heart. I nod. He puts his fingers under my chin and guides my face to
his. Our eyes lock and I want nothing more than to be back in my bed with him. I
have wanted him for so long and I don’t understand why now that I have him, I
want to run fast and far!
         “We should eat, I mean, do
you still want to?”
         He says, “Yes, let’s!” Uchiko
is our favorite sushi spot. They know us very well there. When we pull up to
the restaurant, I get out of the car and start walking up. I turn around and
Tanner is standing outside of his truck, leaning on the door just staring at me.
I walk back to him and he grabs my hand and pushes me up against his car. In
public, he puts both hands on my face and kisses me…at our local sushi restaurant…with
people that most likely know us inside! This is not a normal kiss. This is a “you
are mine” kiss. It is needy and deep. Throughout the years, we’ve had to tell
so many people that we are just friends that I feel almost uncomfortable
kissing him in public. I have never seen him act like this. I mean truly,
