I have a friend named D. We've known each other for almost 10 years and I adore him. We worked together for the first 8 years of our friendship. On the weekends he plays drums in a band & he's also the back up singer. His voice is amazing. When he sings he gives me the chills. The first time I heard him sing a Linkin Park song I was blown away. I stopped what I was doing and turned around to watch him because I couldn't believe the voice I was hearing was coming out of him. He sounds exactly like the singer in the band - the one that's singing, not the one that's rap/talking/singing. The first time I complimented him on his singing he got embarrassed & blushed. It was cute.
I usually go see his band play by myself because while I'm there I don't want to have to entertain anyone. Besides that he always makes it a point to hang out with me whenever the band takes a break. He loves to hear the stories about the guys (weirdos) that have tried to pick me up. His favorite is the guy that licked my face as I was walking by. Yes you read correctly - some guy wanted to get my attention as I was walking by him so he licked my face! Can you say eeewww?! The place was packed and as I was walking by he offered to buy me a drink. I said no thank you & kept walking. He leaned over as if to whisper something to me and since the place was packed I was having a hard time squeezing past people & he licked my cheek. I was equally stunned & grossed out at the same time. When I finally made my way back to D I blurted out "eewww some drunk guy just licked my face". At first he didn't believe me because he didn't think anyone would actually lick the face of someone they didn't know - he thought I must have been exaggerating until I pointed out that I would never think to make something like that up - not even to make him laugh. The rest of the night he kept asking me if I could spot the guy in the crowded bar or if he tried to lick me again. At the time I was not amused but now I can laugh about it.
I haven't seen D in a while and I miss him. We've both being busy with work & life; that's what happens I guess. I called him for his birthday last month - I always call him on his birthday - I like to remind him that he's getting older because I'm nice like that.
The last time I went to see his band play he sang a lot and as usual he was amazing and gave me chills as I listened to him. I stayed until the band finished playing for the night and we had a drink together before he drove me home. When I leaned over to kiss him good bye he turned his face and kissed me on the lips. A real kiss. We had been friends for so long & we had never kissed like that - it took my breath away. So much so that I kissed him again for what seemed like forever. I have no idea what came over either of us. When we finally pulled a way from each other I said good bye again, got out of the car as fast as I could with tripping over my own feet and rushed into my apt.
The next morning when I woke up I had a smile on my face thinking about kissing D good night until the thought entered my head that we may have just ruined our friendship. I was a wreck all day Sunday and I dreaded going to work on Monday. Since we worked in different locations I didn't always see him at work but there was always the possibilty as we both worked at each location as our jobs dictated.
As it turned out that Monday I was covering the reception desk and as I answered the phone I heard D's voice on the other end - he was laughing and teasing me about Saturday. I was so relieved to hear his voice and realize that our friendship wasn't ruined - it was far from ruined. When I told him I was concerned about ruining our friendship he laughed and said that kissing me would never ruin our friendship; if anything it made us closer.
There is definitely an attraction there but we both realized we wouldn't want to lose what we had as friends.
I haven't kissed a boy in so long that I almost forget what it's like. I miss having someone special to kiss.
