A situation like hers is complicated. Cannot be easily comprehended easily; they may pretend to empathise, but no one would be able to understand her pain.
He was happy to be with her. She was happy too, but a little awkward at the same time. Why wouldn't she be? After all, it is not easy for a girl to be as honest as she was to her once friend, now a rebound bf. She tried to cope with the situation as well as she could and so did he.
"Did you tell your friends about it?" she enquired with apprehension.
"Nope, not yet. What about you? Who all have you told?"
"Just my office friends, but they are all against it."
"LOL! Why are they against it?"
"They are against the whole concept of having a rebound boyfriend. They think we both will get hurt in the process. But because they love me so much, they are left with no choice but to accept my decision."
"Hmmm"
She was tense again. She began regretting her stupid decision.
He said, "I really like you. But you are only looking for a rebound. I don't know where are we really headed with this..."
"I know but I could not have hidden the same from you, right? That would be like cheating or taking advantage of a friend."
"That's true. So what do you want to do?"
"I don't want to impose. You must tell me this time. I don't have to always call the shots."
"I need time."
"Take your time."
"I need some time to think this over. I also need some introspection... May be we should talk later. In a couple of days or so. Is that cool?"
"Yup. But if you miss me too much, feel free to break the couple-of-days rule! :P"
No reply since...
It's only been a few hours, but she was contemplating the possibilities of both situations. She knew she would not be happy in either scenarios. If he said a yes, it could be suffocating for her. On the other hand, if he said a "no", she might end up feeling rejected. Wasn't this supposed to be a perfect win-win situation for both of them? Why did it feel wrong, when nothing had been concealed from the very beginning.
Sure, she didn't want to hurt him, but why did it feel as though she was in fact hurting him in the process. Why was she with him, if she didn't want him in the first place?
She thought to herself, if she should have just kept it to herself, or asked an acquaintance. Why ask a friend and complicate a healthy friendship? As usual, she started blaming herself for these impulsive decisions.
She then concluded, that she must wait for his verdict. She owed it to him.
