I didn’t mean to kiss her in front of her boyfriend.
Okay, yes I did. Fine. Guilty as charged.
Is it my fault Maya Waters, AKA my best friend at college, has the most kissable lips ever?
I see the way she stares at me.
Even if she denies it, I see that look in her eye.
I’d been planning how to ask Maya out fall term.
And then she comes back from study abroad in Italy with a new boy toy.
Maya and I have never been anything more than friends.
She doesn’t care that I’m on my way to super-stardom.
And that makes me fall for her all the more.
My grandfather once told me you don’t get to choose the woman you fall head-over-heels for.
I just wish it wasn’t my best friend.
And I wish she didn’t have a boyfriend.
Like the song says, you can’t always get what you want.
I’m going to get what I need, though: Maya Waters.
Maya, I don’t care if you’re not the type of woman a man normally chases after.
I’ve had my eye on you since the first moment I saw you.
No matter what games we have to play to get there, you’re mine.
Ready or not, here I come.
