The L Word

I swear everytime I get close to telling this man off he comes correct. It's like I never know what to do. The last three weeks have been hard. At least now I know he recognizes it -- but that doesn't make it right. I wonder if he really told his brother he loves me? I knew he was fond of me but love? IDK... Things that he says or does let me know that he cares for me but he hasn't come out and said the L word yet. What is he waiting for? I've known for a while. He has to know by now.
