A Bed Time Story I Wrote Him

A Love Story

There once was a girl. She was the most beautiful girl in school. She had the prettiest green eyes, long dark brown hair, her complexion was fair, and she had the brightest smile you could imagine. She must have been a goddess of some sort, for how could god create such a beautiful creature? She always used her beauty to get what ever she wanted. I’m not saying she had a beautiful appearance and an ugly personality, but wait and you’ll see.
Of course being the prettiest girl, she always had her first hand pick of guys. She was now dating the hottest guy of all the school, your typical jock. Always the fresh hair cut, the best of clothes, the nicest car, the charming smile, and the best of looks. He was an automatic catch to any girls’ eye. But some times beauty can be a curse and get you in trouble.
She was so much in love as soon as she saw him, though she thought. We all know that it was lust at first sight, in this case that is. Thinking he was just as pretty as she was, perhaps the male version of her. He was also a smart one, knowing if he had her as a girlfriend he could have the schools champion trophy and a live show off trophy on his arm where ever he went. So he figured why not, what could the harm do? Maybe he would actually grow and really like her, some day. Poor girl, she was in love and he was just using her for his own benefit. She was blinded by love.
She would do everything for him. Any time he needed something, she would volunteer to do it. She loved to spend any moment she had to be with him. She would cook him meals, do his laundry, pretty much anything, in hopes that he would appreciate her and want to spend time with her. But while she was at home doing everything for him, he was out doing his own thing with the boys and even some girls. UT-oh.
He would go out to parties with the guys any chance he had. Of course you would think he would invite his walking trophy for a girlfriend with him, but no. Every time she would ask, he would always tell her “you know you need to do really well in school. I don’t need to study, I already have my scholarship.” Like she thought a good girlfriend would do, she always agreed and hoped that he was saying that because he really cared.
So just like any party, there are your typical beers, kegs, your typical pot heads, drunks, guys, and did I forget to mention, girls, girls who like to get down and have too good of a time. Well at this party there was one girl in particular. As soon as he and his friends got there, right away they went to do a few shots. After shots, why not drink a few beers? After a few beers, why not take a few hits from a near by pot head, who was too high to realize they were just using him for his weed. After a few hits of weed, why not get on the dance floor and dance with the hottest looking girl, who would probably get you in trouble with your girlfriend who was at home doing everything for you?
So the night went on as he was drunk, high, and still dancing. At first dancing wasn’t bad. You know. Just a little bumping and grinding, wouldn’t harm any one, right? Of course not, so he thought. Well after a little bit of dancing, she would work her way around him, and eventually kiss him. Well being intoxicated and all, he didn’t know what he was doing, right? Ha! Can’t fool us! He knew very well what was going on. Did he even think twice about his girlfriend? The answer: No! What a jerk, right?
From kissing, they headed up to the nearest empty room. The girl he was dancing with was completely sober and had no intoxication's what so ever. She even knew he had a girlfriend, but did that stop her? Nope! Quickly after they entered the room, the door shut and locked. Oh yes, you can just imagine what they did. But maybe his girlfriend would find out about this Ron-de-vu! Just maybe, if only some one saw everything and told her what happened?
The weekend pasted and the beautiful girl’s boyfriend hadn’t gotten in contact with her at all. So she figured he was busy and would see him on Monday. As soon as she saw him she handed him his nice fresh smelling clothes. She couldn’t be happier with him so she thought. Like always, he told her, “oh yea, thanks,” and would kiss her on her cheek. All he could think about was that really hot slutty girl from the party. What was she doing? Would she be willing to mess around again? Maybe he could make her his girlfriend instead of the thoughtful caring girlfriend he had now?
During lunch, her boyfriend snuck off campus with the girl from the party, to do who knows what. His beautiful girlfriend couldn’t find him any where. She wondered where he could have gone. She figured he was hanging out with the guys and figured she’d let him be. She had other friends she could hang out with anyways.
The beautiful girl had a very good best friend, who she’d known since she was five years old. They were the best of friends. They always told each other everything. This was definitely a friendship that would last forever. And no, I’m not talking about a girl best friend. This friend was a guy best friend. Hmmm…
He was a nice fellow. Good looking, charming, nice smile, dark brown hair, and had a nice tan. He didn’t drive the best of cars, but had a nice one. He definitely knew how to treat a lady with respect. But of course, the one girl that he wanted was taken by a mistreating jock. And guess who was at the party that night the boyfriend cheated on her? Oh yes, the best friend was.
When the pretty girl approached her best friend, she could tell that something was bothering him. As best friends, you just know when something is wrong. She sat next to him looking concerned and asked him, “What’s wrong Hun?” He looked up at her with his dark deep blue eyes, and said, “I need to tell you something.” Quickly, her heart dropped to her stomach, she knew when she was going to receive bad news. She hesitantly said, “Okay, so tell me, what’s up” He told her everything he saw happen at the party involving her boyfriend and the slutty girl. She couldn’t believe what she was hearing, there was no way her boyfriend could do that to her, he loved her. She became very upset with her best friend, for she thought he was just lying. He swore on everything that he was telling the truth.
She didn’t care; she couldn’t believe him, even after they have been best friends since they were five. See, when your in love, you can quickly betray other people who have always loved you. Some times love can be a bit of a curse, you just have to know when you’re blinded by love. The best friend knew she wouldn’t believe him unless she actually saw it for herself. He remembered that he saw the jock going to his car as the bell had rang to go to lunch. The best friend grabbed the beautiful girls hand and said, “I will show you.” She was in tears because deep down she knew he was telling her the truth.
They approached the car. The beautiful girl’s heart dropped to the pit of her stomach. She was very nervous and prayed that her best friend was just joking with her. But no, he was telling the truth, and right in front of her was the proof. She saw her boyfriend kissing the girl from the party. She said, “I’m sorry for questioning you. You were only trying to help me like a good friend.” After she said that, she looked up at him, directly in his eyes, and for some reason, she stopped crying and didn’t feel sad any more.
The boyfriend, soon to be ex, stopped kissing the girl from the party. He jumped out of the car as soon as he saw his girlfriend, wondering if she had seen anything. He looked at her and said, “Uh, Hi baby. We were…” but the beautiful girl just looked at him plainly and said, “Oh please continue. Don’t stop on the account of us.” Crap! He had been caught red handed, or should I say red lipped, he had the evidence all over his lips, the red lipstick the girl from the party wore. All of a sudden, his heart fell to his stomach, a feeling he never had before. He realized, he did actually grow to love his girlfriend. He started to beg and plead, but for him, it was too late. She was already looking at her best friend like she had once looked at him. He ignored the pain he had and figured at least he would now have a hot looking girlfriend who was really aggressive like he liked.
Sorry mister jock. The hot girl from the party told him she too was in a relationship, and if she continued talking to him it would jeopardize her relationship. So the jock figured he got what he deserved. But no worries, he still had his scholarship. At least he had one thing great still going for him. Enough about the jock, let’s get back to what is going to happen after the beautiful stopped crying.
After she was done declaring her and her boyfriend were over, she looked back into her best friends eyes. She felt so lost in them, and he felt the same while he gazed into her eyes too. Had he finally got the girl of his dreams he thought. Had the love of her life really been right in front of her face this whole time and she hadn’t realized it? After a few moments, they had the final test to see if it would be something or not. A kiss, it’s the best way to know if there was a future for them or not.
They both closed their eyes. Butterflies developed in their stomachs. The distance between their lips seemed so far away, when only they were a few inches from each other. Every second was getting more intense than the last. Finally, their lips met. And as silly as it might sound, they did see fireworks, they did get the lovey dovey feeling.
After their beautiful kiss, they smiled and looked up at each other. The best friend asked the beautiful girl, “Is this what we have been missing out on this whole time?” she responded, “yes, but it was well worth the wait.”
This was once was just a best friendship that would never end. Eventually, this friendship turned into love. And just like any story, of course they lived happily ever after.

Never over look anything; what you want might be right in front of you all along.
Things come to people who wait, some times haste is waste.
