Well I'm real glad Jake was wrong about what he said.
Sweetheart, explaining the way I feel about Cris gets real confusing for a lot of people it seems. It took my lady a good chunk of time to get used to it too. But it ain't like you're thinking. I ain't gunning for him, or trying to take him for myself.
I made a decision a real long time ago not to fall in love with him like that. I realized that I could either fall all doe eyed for the off limits good looking guy that had a wife and was my partner at work, and fuck that all up for myself, or I could have a chance to build something less chaotic and complicated. And I picked that option.
And it turned into one of the most important, if not the most important, relationship in my life. Because my love relationships they've always been fleeting. And I love my Olivia more than I've ever been in love before. I like to think that's forever, but even if it ain't - and it might not be she don't like me too much right now - I know that I still got my best friend.
