TWINED 5

Days became weeks and months became years, the friendship of Mike and Becky has gone so deep into 'siblingship'; that's how best I can describe it.

They told each other almost everything that happened to them. From childhood stories to family issues to academic challenges that no one knew anything about. It was a strong bond but in all these no string was holding them together. Mike had gone into several relationships with other girls and he had Becky as his adviser, because they would always talk about his love life as she had none. Interestingly, she had never been in a relationship but she was a good listener and could offer some basic girly advice to Mike. She sometime vet the girls before Mike could go ahead to ask them out.

Some time had passed and Mike was out in the market again. He had no one in his life and didn't want any at that time. This wasn't the first time he would be without a girl in his life but it was the first time Becky will feel different about it. She was happy he was single again. She couldn't explain what was going on within her but she knew she got excited anytime she hears Mike's voice or the mention of his name. It must be this state that her aunt had explained to be having butterflies in your belly. She must tell someone about it, but who could she tell? She was falling in love with her confidant. She had gone head over heels and lost in love with Mike.
