Counting the Stars

Sometimes love comes when you least expect it.

Alex

I fell in love from the first moment I met her-seriously.

And yeah, I realize that may sound ridiculous, but I've never been so sure of anything in my life.

Gabby is one of my best friends. She gets me and accepts me for who I am; unlike my stuffy family. But we've been stuck in the friend zone for more than a year and I'm getting restless.

Though she insists she's not interested, her actions speak otherwise and I know she wants me too.

When my buddy offers dating advice, I take it and run. It's time to check things off my list and make Gabby realize we're meant to be together.

Gabby

I've sworn off relationships forever-end of story.

My world came crashing down over a decade ago and I can't endure the pain of losing anyone else...especially Alex.

He's like a magnet. No matter how hard I try to reject him, I simply can't stay away.

I know he won't be single forever and we'd be perfect for one another, which makes things worse. My friends think I should let him in and give what we have a try.

But I'm scared to death I'll lose him too.
