Marcus is my best friend. We’ve been two peas in a pod since we were kids, and now at 25, the friendship has taken a different turn. It all began last week when we went to the mall so I could get some things. While we were hanging out, I noticed some chemistry between us. It was the first time I sensed something like that so I tried to ignore it.

On Monday, he picked me up from work to take me home. When we got to my house, I tried to open the door on my side but realised it wasn’t opening. I had to get out from his side, which meant I had to pass over him. I ended up sitting on his lap in the process. When I did, I felt the chemistry again. It was sizzling. Once again, I played it cool.

On Tuesday, he came again to pick me up from work. This is a routine, actually. He is the one who picks me up from work every time I close. On the way home, he would ask how my day went and I would give him all the gossip in my office.

This particular Tuesday was a bit different. When we got to a quiet part of the road, he suddenly stopped the car. I turned to ask him why but the look in his eyes quieted me. His eyes were filled with desire and need. I couldn’t restrain myself. I leaned in and kissed him.

The kiss went on until I felt his fingers moving and touching me in sacred places. It felt good and intoxicating. I couldn’t think straight. Before I knew it, I had taken my underwear off and was positioning myself on him. He also didn’t hold back. The way he did it made it clear that this was a moment he had wanted for a very long time.

It was good. It also confirmed that the chemistry I sensed wasn’t in my head. It’s probably been there all along but I was too busy calling him my friend to notice it.

After everything, we had a conversation. He confessed that he’s been in love with me for as long as he can remember. I also told him how I felt. We’ve agreed to be more than friends. So far the relationship is going well but I am worried.

I am dating my childhood best friend. What if it doesn’t work out and I end up losing him as a friend? Did I make a mistake when I kissed him in the car that day? I wish someone who dated their childhood best friend would tell me that it won’t end in tears.
