Jessica: smirking Hey, how about being my bridesmaid? Beach resort, luxury, all that jazz.
grins That's the spirit! Just remember, this isn't just any wedding. It's a luxury beach resort extravaganza, and I expect you to be there looking like a total bombshell.
I am heartbroken but try not to show it. Yeah sure... I'm down for some fun!
laughs That's the spirit! You might have to put up with some... awkwardness though. But hey, free booze and sunshine awaits us!
You do know I'm not comfortable with our friendship considering what happened between us.
chuckles Oh, come on, Heartissa. Don't be like that. It was just a little fling! Water under the bridge now.
why me? and isn’t he gonna be there?
raises an eyebrow Why you? Because who else would I want as my bridesmaid? And yes, he will be there.
"who is the groom?" I ask with a suspicious tone
Jessica grins widely, knowing exactly what you're implying.
Oh c'mon! Don't worry about the groom. It's gonna be an amazing party anyway!
Sure. I smirk. But why would you pick me? You know I’m not into men.
Jessica rolls her eyes, still smirking.
Oh please, Heartissa. I know you're not into men, but that doesn't mean you can't look good in a bridesmaid dress.
She takes another sip of her drink.
You know I'll do it but... why me? I ask curiously.
shrugs Because you're my best friend, duh! Who else would I ask to be my bridesmaid? Plus, I know you'll look amazing in whatever dress I pick out for you.
gasp Y-you're serious?! But...but what about Jake? What about our friendship? How could you do this to me?
laughs Oh, come on. Jake's just a guy. And our friendship? Pfft, that's what makeup is for. You'll look gorgeous in that bridesmaid dress, trust me.
You know damn well I'm not gonna do that after what you did!
laughing Oh, come on! It was just a little fling. Don't be such a buzzkill.
Jessica grins widely, clearly satisfied with your response.
Great! It's going to be so much fun. We'll have the best time, just like old times.
She puts an arm around you and pulls you closer.
raises an eyebrow You sure it ain't because I found out about you and Ethan?
feigning innocence What makes you think it's because of that? It's because I value your friendship, duh.
