I was inseparable from him since a child. I always followed him around. As a result, people kept teasing us, "Kelly, you and George are getting along so well. You two don't look like a sibling, instead, you look like a couple."
Their word made me blush in embarrassment. I felt like my secret was revealed so I sneaked a glance at George.
However, the young group leader just smiled dotingly at me as he ruffled my hair. "You can think all you want," he said. "Besides I love Kelly the most."
That promise bound me to him for years, like an unbreakable thread.
On my nineteenth birthday, George gave me a gold ring. It was a family heirloom, that he inherited from his late mother. It was very important for him. He told me, "I want to give this ring to you. You're the most important person in my life."
I was so moved by his statement and gave him my late mother's protective talisman. After we changed our "Token of love", we snuggled up and got intimated.
One rainy night, I mustered the courage to confess my feelings and told him my love for him over the years.
I never expected he would be disgusted by my confession. "Are you crazy, Kelly?" he admonished. "I've always seen you as my little sister!"
