Chapter 34 Agreements Ii

• "It's been a while since I went out with Robbie, and no, I haven't slept with him," I say, and he gives me a satisfied smile, trying to hide his face behind the coffee cup, pretending as if he did nothing.
• "But... Billy is a different story, something else. Billy is truly my friend. We don't go out on dates or anything like that, God no! He is one of my few friends, and believe me when I say it hasn't been easy for me to make friends in life. He has been there for me in the worst moments, he has been a constant when no one wanted to be with me or go out, and I was sad... he didn't leave me, even from a distance," I say, and he lowers his eyes with some embarrassment.
• "The truth is, I can't just remove him from my life, just like that, and it would definitely hurt him a lot. Besides, we only go out to have fun, sometimes we go dancing, other times we just wander around, I accompany him when he goes shopping... we just do things to have a good time, laugh... you know how Billy is. Nothing romantic. I have never seen him that way, and I never will. He's just my friend, almost like family," I say, and he seems to hesitate for a while.
