It’s the end of another long dreadful day of work and life’s full on surprises. James and shay meet at their usual place up at the hilltop by the beach. To rest off and get their mind and souls from everything else. It’s like a recharge moment shared by two long time friends who deeply care for each other.

As the night wears and they live in the moment together, laughing and chatting away. They found each other through a thick glass of window, their saw something new between them and in a moment of silence and joy. Something spontaneous happened, something unexpected: the kiss. The first time they had shared such a moment of bliss yet incredibly confusing and terrifying.

They both felt something profound and deeply uncomfortable because they knew they had lost something they did not have with anyone else. A genuine friendship. One with no strings attached. No complications. It was so important to them both. They truly relished with their friendship.

Now they had to call what they had something new. Complicated. Both shay and James could not fathom the possibility of the future being uncertain for their friendship. Life’s chaotic antics was already bad enough and the only thing they both believe is their true intentions to keep their friendship intact. Feeling like they have to deal with the consequences of their actions.

They each excused themselves to go home and wished each other goodnight. They never felt so perplexed like they did right this moment. Between them there was barrier. Both gazing the ground, their hunged and shrouded their faces with embarrassment.

Walking away from each other never felt so virtuous, so right.

Two hearts startled and two minds with so much to say.

James and shay left their special place of love, care, calmness and friendship with abundant lingering thoughts. It’s trying to make sense of what has happened between. Their shared kiss was a mighty mess. Nonetheless, they could not have imagined and wouldn’t be able to erase. It left a marker on their relationship. What happened changed their relationship forever and they didn’t have a inkling of what will happen next. As they both walked away into the unknown.
