Chapter 9 (Sidney's Pov)

• My mind was spinning in a thousand different directions, but at the end, all those directions still lead to that one person I tried not to think about for long years. But still, when I saw him tonight it was as if no time had passed, and he was still my best friend, and that crush was back with vengeance I could say.
• In a way it felt as if nothing changed, his eyes when they landed on me still felt as if they could see right through me into the depths of my soul, his arms and his hug still felt familiar and like home, his smile still managed to light up my world. But on the other hand, I knew a lot of things have changed, he was all grown up now. Those almost invisible muscles were now very pronounced and hard to miss even under all the winter clothes, he was taller and as much as I hate to admit it even to myself, time has been good to him and only made him even hotter. If I had trouble resisting him before, now I was completely and utterly fucked. Now all this thinking has a point, believe me. I was debating with myself if for my own sanity, and also my heart, it was even heathy and wise to meet up with him for that coffee “date”.
• But he still was my best friend. I know it has been many years since we last saw each other or had any kind of meaningful conversation, but like I said in a way it felt as if no time has passed at all.
