"Wait, I love you." He said and I immediately stopped in my tracks. I turned around and looked at him. He was sobbing. He seemed to be in so much pain and it hurt me that I was the cause of it. But, it had to be done.
"No, you don't." I said and wal...
"Gilbert you said that already, are you planing on finishing your sentence or should I? Is it I am annoying? Not me you. I just said it as if I was you. You know what nevermind."
I was so caught up in my own world that I didn't realise that Gilbert was holding my hand.

Oh boy.
Am I blushing? Maybe, a little bit but I'm not sure. It's a possibility. Great now I'm annoying him... Wait, I'm thinking. Oooh. Then, I'm annoying myself.
"I'm sorry I didn't speak for so long I just needed to think. That was a lot of information to get in less than a minute Miss Shirley-Cuthbert."
I just stared at him. FINALLY.
"I can leave" I said getting ready to leave.
He just held my hand tighter.
"Stay. I want to talk."
"Why are you holding my hand?"
"I can let go?"
"I didn't say that, Gilbert. I asked why."
"It brings me peace and comfort."
"Oh." Yeah, I didn't have a clue what to say to that so for the, second? Time a didn't speak.
"Anne I care about you and I would never do something to upset you. Ignoring the whole 'carrots' incident which you gotta admit it was kind of cute." I gave him a look. He just shoot me an innocent smile. "Anyways, you could've told me from the beginning. Even though I understand why you didn't. Bottom line, is that I like having you around and I would really like if you would even consider being my g-"
"Friend. Yes, of course. This is my way of showing truce."
"Friendship. Not truce not nothing. Just friendship."
"Yes, friendship. You're a good guy and I would love if you were my friend."
"Friend..."
"Yes."
"Zoned..."
"Huh?"
"Nothing. Nothing. Absolutely nothing."
He seemed panicked so I decided to let that one slide.
"So, friend. Are we going to drink our teas or what?" said Gilbert.
"I already drank mine."
"When?"
"Well, I was chatting with the wall for a bit. Well, until you came back and I managed to finish it... With time to spare."
