Summertime: Pt. 2

(Robin)

That convo was pretty intense huh? That's how things are between Alex and me: INTENSE. And I love it....but I'm still not quite sure how things got to this point. One moment, I'm being introduced to this handsome brother by my homegirl, then, I find out that he's actually closely related to my boyfriend. At this point, I'm sure you're wondering how long our little affair has been going on. And I can't really argue with the use of the word "affair" because it really is one. Not a physical affair, but an emotional one. Me and Alex have never even held hands, yet as sure as I'm writing this, I've been cheating on my boyfriend with my heart. And that's the worst kind of cheating really. This sounds really cliche, but none of this was supposed to happen. My boyfriend's brother was not supposed to become my emotional lover. I mean really. If I'd had an inkling of how amazing Alex was, I would have slowly backed away from him, then broken out in an all out run. Because honestly, my boyfriend isn't that amazing. And being in close proximity to someone who is everything you want, but isn't the person you're with, is scary as hell. You tend to get caught up pretty quickly. A routine phone call to make sure that amazing person is still breathing, turns into a 6 hour talk fest about the past. A quick visit to a dorm room just to say hi turns into an all night music marathon, where you rap (badly) to your favorite beat. And the last situation is the worst. Especially since your boyfriend lives one floor above his amazing half-brother that you just spent the night with. Oh, did I mention that Alex, Darrin, and I all attend the same college?
