Owen likes the narrator! I see where this is going! haha, good job. I particularly enjoyed this line, " I pictured her words smeared with grease as she tried to slither into his life again." I wonder if the narrator will go for him…? …hmmm…

you rock tad! you got it!

yeah that words smeered with grease was a nice visual

I like greasy words too :)
I do hope to see more of this. Some twisted love triangle maybe or simply the awkward love that blooms betwixt olde friends. :P
I can say that Im Englsih

ye olde friendship sets sail in new waters, lass. I be loikin’ tha’ idea. I do believe thar be a bit’o love trianglin’ too.

whats with the combination of ye olde english and Yorkshire accent?

i know, i totally mixed it up, but I wanted to! Hit the highlight reel of english stereotypical accents…

Oy, my lovlies, nary the likes of ye hath quilled any ting udder ’dan the dandiest language mash up I Ido declare I ever did hear. (Australian or British, then Olde English, then an irish accent, then.. pre or post civil war confederate south?)

That would be an awesome challenge— language mash up ficlys! haha

Nice visual…but, shouldn’t it be HIS not HIM in the second sentence?

um…i dont completly under stand the ending..but still good

found the ‘him’ and fixed it, thanks Jer Ray!
@Micky ..He’s surprised he doesn’t have feelings for her.

I hope he doesn’t go back with her. This is great in so many ways, but I think the greasy words line really rocked the whole cazbahr. I like the happy ending too. :) Stephen King isn’t the one to go to for a fairy tale ending.

Very nice. More Than Friends is one of my favorite elements to experiment with in stories. There’s a surprising number of things you can do with it, and it’s always gratifying (maybe even cathartic) to resolve it happily.

agreed, Colt, very cathartic.

I think I read the sequel to this a long time ago, so it was neat to see the background for it. I like that the female lead is not flawless, having not been able to help at that particular time in the past.
