It was two days after the event and today Helena would come over. The past 2 nights I had been dreaming about Elisabeth and I couldn’t concentrate on anything. The dreams I had weren’t having a fun party… It was a little bit more, including Elisabeth naked. I didn’t know what was going on with me I was so confused… I was constantly thinking of her and still I couldn’t get myself to even text her. Suddenly someone knocked on my bedroom door and walked in. Helena.

“Hey, darling.” She greeted me and jumped with me on my bed.

“Hey, Hel.” I said, with not so much enthusiasm.

She sighed: “Okay, I’m going to cut to the chase, what’s up with you? Ever since we been to that event you aren’t yourself.” She said.

I sighed. Would I tell her? She would understand, that was for sure but would she keep the secret? I decided to just take the chance.

“Promise me you aren’t going to tell anyone.” I said, looking at her.

“I promise, you know I can keep a secret.” She frowned.

I sighed again.

“You remember Elisabeth, right?” Helena nodded. “I can’t stop thinking about her.”

A big grin appeared on Helena’s face.

“What?” I asked her, smiling.

“You, Christina, have a C-R-U-C-H! I knew it!” She practically screamed. I pushed her playfully.

“Shut up! I don’t have a crush on her!” I said, blushing.

“Yes, you do. That’s why you ran out of the ballroom when my dear brother hit on your woman.” She said smiling.

“Hel, she is not ‘my woman,’” I told her.

“…yet.” Helena said.

“What, yet?” I asked her confused.

“Well, I could sense she liked you to…” She said in a matter-of-fact way.

“She didn’t, she was all over your brother.” I rolled my eyes.

“She wasn’t. She just tries to convince herself she is straight… like you.”

“What? Hel, I AM straight; I just have a tiny gay crush.” I told her.

“Phulease, you never stick with a guy longer than a couple of weeks. Tell me, what do you mean with ‘I can’t stop thinking about her?’”

“I can’t concentrate, I dream about her… stuff like that.”

“What happens in your dream?” She asked. I could see she was enjoying herself.
