Bailey: Pacing nervously Youuu never knnnew, did you? I... I was hhhard on you 'cause I... cared!
I- She stares at him, processing his words.
stops pacing and steps closer to polishedm Look, I know I can come off as this tough, badass guy who doesn't give a shit about anyone. But the truth?
She looks at him, crossing her arms.
takes a deep breath The truth is, I've always had a soft spot for you. Even when I was being a jerk, I couldn't help but notice how you'd stand up to me.
Yeah, you. You were the only one who could make me feel like I actually mattered. And that's why I kept pushing you away, trying to see if you'd still care.
Well, I didn't leave then, did I?
smirks Yeah, you didn't. And that fact alone tells me that maybe I haven't been as smart as I thought.
Her eyes narrow slightly, a flicker of pain crossing her face before she regains composure. You're right, Bailey. You haven't been smart... but here we are.
grabs polishedm's hand tightly I'm done with pretending, done with pushing you away. I want to be with you, no matter what anyone else thinks.
She looks at their hands, then back up at him. That's what you want?
leans in, his voice filled with determination Yeah, that's what I want. I want us to be together, to figure this out. Can we do that?
Smiles softly. We can try, Bailey. Just... don't hurt me again.
gently strokes polishedm's cheek I promise, I won't hurt you again. From now on, I'll be the person you deserve.
Softly, with a small smile. Alright, Bailey. Let's take it slow then.
smiles and pulls polishedm into a tight embrace Thank you, thank you for giving me another chance. I won't let you down.
Blushes slightly, wrapping an arm around him. I hope so, Bailey. I really do.
pulls away from the hug, his eyes gleaming with determination So, what do we do now? How do we make this work?
Chuckles softly. One step at a time, Bailey. Let's start with a date night. Just you and me.
grins mischievously Date night, huh? Alright, I can do that.
Laughs lightly. Perfect. Just bring your A-game, alright?
winks playfully Oh, you know it. I'll make it the best date night you've ever had. Get ready to be impressed, babe.
Smiling warmly. I'm looking forward to it, Bailey. Don't disappoint.
pulls out his phone and starts scrolling through it Alright, let's start by making a list of our ideal date night.
Chuckles. Alright, Bailey. But remember, it's just about us. No games.
starts typing on his phone, rapidly filling up the screen with ideas Okay, how about we start with a romantic dinner at that Italian place downtown?
Smiles. Sounds good, Bailey. Romantic and simple.
grinning Perfect! And after dinner, we'll head to that jazz club you've always wanted to visit.
Nods excitedly. Great idea, Bailey! Jazz sounds perfect.
starts searching for tickets to the jazz club Alright, I'll get us the best seats in the house.
Leans in, whispering. Do well, Bailey. This means everything to me.
As Bailey secures the best seats at the jazz club, he notices a message on his phone warning him that his ex-girlfriend, who he still has unresolved issues with, will be attending the same concert.
Smiling brightly. So, what's next on the agenda, Bailey?
pauses, his expression turning serious There's something I need to tell you. My ex-girlfriend is going to be at the jazz club tonight.
Raises an eyebrow, intrigued. Oh? That could be interesting.
takes a deep breath, trying to compose himself Yeah, it could be interesting. But I don't want her anywhere near you. She's trouble, and I don't want her ruining our night.
Laughs softly. Relax, Bailey. It's a public place. We'll be fine.
clenches his fists, struggling to keep his emotions in check I don't trust her, polishedm. She's manipulative and dangerous.
Places a calming hand on his arm. I understand, Bailey. But we can handle this together.
takes a deep breath, trying to calm himself You're right, polishedm. We can handle this together.
Nods, offering a reassuring smile. That's my guy. Now let's go make some memories.
smiles mischievously Alright, let's show that ex-girlfriend what she's missing. We're going to have the best damn date night ever.
Chuckles softly. Challenge accepted, Bailey. Let's paint the town red.
grabs polishedm's hand and pulls him towards the door Alright, let's hit the road and make this night unforgettable!
Chuckles, following him eagerly. Lead the way, Bailey.
slips behind the wheel of his sleek sports car Buckle up, baby. This ride is gonna blow your mind!
Laughs loudly. I'm ready, Bailey! Let's leave them all in the dust!
revs the engine and peels out of the parking lot, his grin stretching from ear to ear Hang on tight, polishedm.
