Muse Magic

She looked between us and said, “It’s either her or me.”

I couldn’t believe it. My best friend was making me choice between her and the woman who I had fallen head over heels in love with.

I never really believed in love at first sight or soul mates. But the first night Suzy and I went out, we had a connection. It was as if we had known each other our whole lives.

Jamie never gave me a straight answer when I asked her why she was making me choose. It couldn’t have been jealousy, could it? We tried dating a few times, it never worked. We were better just as friends.

 We did last a month, that one time.  It didn’t end well. We didn’t speak for three months. Watching the hockey playoff wasn’t the same.

Suzy and Jamie were walking toward me. I almost fell over seeing them holding hands.

“What’s going on?” I wanted to ask more but didn’t have the words.

Jamie motioned toward Suzy, “Suzy and I came to an understanding. I give you permission to date her.”

I nodded and opened my mouth to say something, but Jamie added, “Come on. We’re going home.”

As I followed them out to the car, I couldn’t help thinking this wasn’t going to end well either.
