“I think I’ll make you wait on this one, Bel,” I replied with a smirk,savoring he wine lingering on my lips. Laughing at Isabel’s impatience. She hated not being in the know, and from time to time, I got too much amusement out of it. Setting the now empty wine glass on the table, Pickering my lips as I hesitated to change the subject to distract her. I was contemplating if it was worth it to tell her about Jayden. I was fearful of her harsh criticisms or over accepted optimism, whichever it was going to be. I decided to tell her, it was unfair how much I had been keeping from her lately. Looking down at the table I sighed contently. “Best friend, I think Jayden has a thing for me and I don’t. Know how to feel about it,” I confessed, shrugging my shoulders in uncertainty. I didn’t know how to handle it after everything I had been through recently. Part of me felt it was too soon to let someone else in, but part of me was frighteningly intrigued by how much I felt at ease in his presence. My anxiety has been on the rise again and I knew it wasn’t hard for Isabel to pick up on my anxiousness. I did my best to control it, but it was hard to admit whenever it took more control over me than I wanted it to. I knew I should elaborate on my confession, since it would be out of context for Isabel, she didn’t know that Jayden spent some time together recently, but I didn’t tell her because at first, I thought it was an innocent friendship and nothing more, now I wasn’t so sure and the thought made me want to drop the subject just as spontaneously as I brought it up. Looking up at Isabel, I searched her face for a reaction. Was bringing it up a mistake?
