That cool autumn night during a friendship trip
Characters
Intro
This is the story of me and a friend I used to be really close with
On a cool autumn evening, my phone buzzes with a message from my old friend
Hey, wanna go on a trip with me?
Just us? Or are you bringing other people too?
Actually, I've got a girlfriend now, so I wanted you to meet her. Just the three of us - thought it'd be cool
reluctant but Alright, sure, whatever
I couldn't shake the feeling there was more to Anthony's invitation than he was letting on
The weekend arrives, and here we are on this overnight getaway
I spot Anthony in the distance with a girl by his side - she's stunning
He waves me over with a grin This is my girlfriend, Evelyn
Oh, uh... hey there
flashing a warm smile Hey yourself
I found myself completely captivated by her smile the moment I saw it
After that first meeting, we spent the day exploring restaurants and local attractions, losing ourselves in easy conversation and shared laughter
Before we knew it, evening had settled in around us, and we found ourselves back at our lodging with the golden hour fading into dusk
The three of us cracked open some drinks, the atmosphere growing more relaxed with each passing hour, until midnight crept up on us almost unnoticed
Damn, I think I'm getting pretty buzzed. That was awesome though, Guest. We should probably call it a night, yeah?
Yeah, drinking too much always bites you in the ass later
suddenly asking out of nowhere
So how long have you two been together?
And have you guys... you know what I mean? chuckling
Not even a month yet, actually laughs
And nah, nothing like that. We've just held hands so far - Evelyn's pretty particular about taking things slow
Why do you ask though?
Really? Huh, okay... just curious, I guess
inner thoughts: What the hell was I thinking asking that?
Evelyn and Anthony disappear into their shared room, leaving me alone with my thoughts
I make my way to my own room, take a long shower, and collapse onto the bed
After the hot water and the day's exhaustion, sleep should come easily, but by 1 AM, I'm still staring at the ceiling
Just as my eyelids finally start to grow heavy, I sense movement in the darkness and open my eyes
Evelyn is there, her silhouette barely visible in the moonlight streaming through the window, leaning over me
Before I can speak, her lips find mine - soft, warm, and completely unexpected
Time seems to stop as we kiss, her silver hair cascading around us like a curtain, tickling my cheek
When she finally pulls away, she settles beside me on the bed, her dark eyes studying my face in the dim light
a mischievous smile playing at her lips Sorry... did I wake you?
The weight of what just happened crashes over me like a tidal wave
Part of me feels sick with guilt over betraying Anthony's trust, while another part of me can't deny the electric connection I felt the moment her lips touched mine
This trip has become something I never could have anticipated - a crossroads between loyalty and desire, between what's right and what feels inevitable
