Jealous Roommate Gets Possessive

Transcript

Yeah? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'll meet you guys outside in a bit.

Just give me one sec. Jeez. Um, they're waiting for you outside, by the way.

Alex and the gang. No, no, no. He probably just wants to tell you something.

I'll let you figure it out for yourself. He will probably tell you immediately. Well, you know, he, um, you.

Basically everyone in the group knows, so. Oh, okay. I guess you didn't know.

Okay, I'll keep my mouth closed. I'll just let him say whatever he wants to say. But yeah, you should probably go outside.

He's making quite the scene waiting for you. Yeah, they just asked me to come ask you because they were a little, a little shy, I guess. Maybe a little scared of you.

No, it's, um, well, let's just say he's, um, very drunk and would probably not be able to ask you to talk to him, even if he tried. I don't know. They just said I was the closest to you.

So they made me, um, made me talk to you. Hmm. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm okay.

I'm okay. Yeah, I'm okay. No, no, I'm not drunk.

I'm not drunk. I didn't have a single ounce of anything. Okay, I'm not drunk.

Um, I mean, if you, if you're still doing something, then do you want me to just tell them to hold it off or? Because I can. Do you want me to stall or? All right.

Sorry, random and unrelated question. Are you? Are you too close? You know, you and you and Alex? Yeah.

No, it's just because I never, I never really saw you guys together much. You know, of course, outside of whenever we all go out to eat and stuff, but, um, yeah, it's nothing. But, but you guys used to be close, right? Like back when you were back when you were kids? Yeah.

Yeah. He always, he always told that story I don't even know why I'm telling you this. Um, yeah, no, I remember that story.

It's very funny. I don't know. I just felt like asking.

I guess. Yeah, you should probably hurry it up. Wait, sorry.

Before you go and talk to him. Can I, can I talk to you for a sec? Just like five, 10 minutes, I think is enough.

Okay. Thanks. So you know how we've, we've always been friends for, it feels like forever now.

Well, it must have been eight, nine years since, since seventh grade. Um, we've been friends for a really long time and I'm very happy. I'm really, really happy to, to be friends with you.

You know, you remember that, that time when I was, um, sorry, I was gonna, I was gonna tell you a story. I was definitely going to get sidetracked there, but that's not the point. I'm really happy that we're friends.

Super, super happy. I could not be any happier. And if we stayed at, if we stayed at, okay.

If we stayed as friends, I would be fine with that. Really. I would just be happy to be there.

Right. And I don't know what I'm saying. Hon, I'm going to say the dumbest thing I've ever said to you.

So please buckle up. No, it's nothing bad. And yes, I am safe.

I, I like you. I really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really like you. More than I care to admit.

And I have liked you for, you know, I'm not even gonna, it's kind of embarrassing how long I've liked you. So I'll just keep that a secret, I guess. I didn't want to tell you ever.

Okay. Look, I would, you're right. I should have told you sooner.

I was just scared. Okay. I was scared that it was going to drive a wedge in between our friendship.

I mean, God, we've been, we've been friends since basically our entire lives. And I didn't want to, I didn't want to do something to, you know, change it up. I was scared of that.

And you helped me go through a lot. Okay. And I didn't want to lose that.

It's as simple as that. I I'm sorry. I guess because I didn't feel like I was affected by it.

You know, I really liked you, but well, I still do. But it was, it was like a happy crush. You know, I wasn't, I wasn't affected when, when you would talk to other people.

I didn't care if you, if you dated, I didn't care if you were intimate or, or sharing a laugh with someone else. I didn't care. I didn't care.

You know, I was just happy to see you happy. And it genuinely didn't affect me. Until now.

Everyone and their mom knows. I know you know. With Alex.

He really likes you. Probably more than I do. And he was going to tell you that while drunk.

And he told me that drunk. And he told me that if he ever gets drunk and is hell bent on telling you that he likes you, that I should just go ahead and tell him to tell you myself. But I, I don't know, it felt right that he would tell you himself because it's his feelings.

I don't feel like I was in the place to tell you. So I wanted to keep my mouth sealed. But yeah, he likes you.

And he's liked you for just as long as I have maybe. Many people do. That's why I told you now at this very awkward time, which I'm very sorry for.

It, it just felt like my hand had to be played. You know, like I was being pushed to say something or to, or to, or to do something. And I was perfectly content with letting, letting my feelings ride out until whatever, right? Until we're old and gray.

And I don't know. But he's basically my brother. And what I came to tell you is, can I come closer? No, that's not what I wanted to tell you.

What I came to tell you is now that my hand has been played and I've laid it out on the table, and that he will lay his hand on the table. I'm not giving up on you. And I don't mean that I'm going to pursue anything or I'm expecting you to, to like me back.

Of course not. But for the first time ever, it feels like I have to do something or else you're going to choose someone else. It's really stupid.

And I love him to death too. That's the most annoying part. The thing that bothers me the most is I, I wouldn't blame you if, if you got together with him.

But God, seeing that every day, whenever we eat with everyone else would be a pain. And I don't think I'm ready for that. All right.

Let me, let me get a few things straight. Okay. I don't expect you to like me back at all, ever at all.

I just really wanted to tell you. And I wanted to tell you now. And I'm really sorry that I chose such a bad time to tell you, but I really don't expect anything back at all.

I'm, like I said, I'm, I'm perfectly happy with just being there with you and, and being happy. And I, I really hope that this doesn't change much between us. I know it's impossible to, to ask that nothing changes now that you know how I feel and how he feels.

But I really hope that this doesn't drive a wedge and that you still treat me like your friend, like I'm any other person. And I know it may come off like I was getting a little jealous, you know, of, of him being able being able to tell you, but please, I assure you that I am not. I'm not, I'm not going to sit here and, and BS you and be like, oh, I don't want you to be with someone else.

And oh, you belong to me. That's, that's so stupid. No, you don't belong to me.

I'm just your friend. You know, we're the bestest of friends. Sure.

But you don't belong to me or anyone. You're not seeing anyone. So you don't belong to anyone.

And I'm not going to sit here and, and, and, and drive my brain up a wall with this fantasy that I'm, I'm with you. I'm not going to tell you that you're not supposed to be with anyone else. And I'm not going to tell you that you can't talk to anyone else.

And I don't want to see you with anyone else. I'm not going to tell you to not go to him. I'm not going to tell you to not go with anybody.

I know you're your own person. And I know you like talking to people at times. And I'm not going to be the one to, to tell you otherwise.

And I'm not going to be the one to make you forget who you are. That's stupid. And quite frankly, BS.

You know that. So go. You know, go and, and, and meet people and go and talk to people.

And go talk to him. Hear him out. And consider.

Please. Because I don't, I don't want my stupid confession to be the reason why you don't go out with him. Or you don't give him a serious answer.

Because he deserves it. Because he's a really good guy. He's really good.

Can I say something stupid? Thanks. For the longest time, I've always dreamed about being with you like this.

Alone in a room, standing, what, five inches away from each other. I just didn't expect this to be the scenario. I've always dreamt of I've always dreamt of wrapping my arms around your waist.

Can I? Just like this. Pulling you closer till our hips touch.

I've always dreamt that you'd hold my face with your hands. I've always dreamt that we'd get closer and closer and closer.
