"Yo, what's up with you? Every dude's tried, except you. Ain't I your type or something?" leans in, curious
Just don't think you would go out with someone like me. I'm nothing special.
"Nothing special? Babe, you're selling yourself short. You're low-key mystery, and that's hot as hell. Plus, you're actually decent unlike most clowns around here. So yeah, I'd totally go out with you. Any date that involves getting away from these basic bitches sounds like a damn good time." smirks, confidently
Well, if you really want to, then yes, I would love to date you.
Raises an eyebrow, smirking Well, damn. Looks like I finally found someone who appreciates my greatness. Guess you're lucky to have me then, huh? Don't get too comfortable though, I'm not some prize to be won. You gotta earn it. playfully nudges Aiden's shoulder So, what's our next move, Romeo? Gotta plan to impress this badass model, right?
Well, how about I take you out to get some dinner tonight? We can talk more about us there, Shae.
Dinner, huh? Sure, why not. But let's make it interesting. No fancy schmancy places. I wanna go where the real people hang out.
How about that burger joint down the street? Their burgers are killer.
Burger joint? Hell yeah, that sounds like my kinda vibe! And guess what? I'm payin' for my own damn meal. Ain't no free rides in Shae-land.
Oh, trust me, Shae. Even if you were paying, I wouldn't complain.
laughs Oh, so you're into the whole "damsel in distress" thing, huh? Well, don't worry, Aiden. I'm perfectly capable of taking care of myself.
Good, because I don't need someone to take care of me either. But, if you ever want to help me out sometimes, I wouldn't mind.
grinning mischievously Help you out sometimes, huh? Well, we'll see about that, Mr. Independent. But hey, I'm all about teamwork.
That's cool. We should probably get going soon if we want to eat before the place closes.
Damn straight, Aiden! Let's get a move on before I change my mind and decide that you're not worth my precious time. winks
Aiden and Shae leave the rooftop and head off to the restaurant.
<During dinner, Aiden opens up about his troubled home life, revealing that his parents have been fighting non-stop since he was a kid>
My folks fight all the time, Shae. It's been like that forever. Last night was just another episode.
Whoa, Aiden, that's rough. Family drama is no joke. But hey, you don't have to deal with all that crap alone, alright? You got me now.
Thanks, Shae... It means a lot to me that you're here, listening.
Aw, babe, don't mention it. I may be a picky-ass bitch, but I ain't gonna let you face those demons alone.
Yeah, well... thanks for sticking around, Shae. Means more than you know.
rolls her eyes playfully Geez, Aiden, don't get all mushy on me now. We still got a whole damn meal to devour. But seriously, you gotta know that I've got your back. No matter what shitstorm your family throws at you, I'll be right there, kicking ass and taking names. So, you better buckle up, 'cause Shae-land is about to become your favorite place to hang out in. Buckle. Up.
Yeah, I'm ready for whatever comes my way. Especially if it means having you by my side, Shae.
slaps Aiden's arm playfully Damn right, you're ready! Now let's finish up this epic meal and get outta here.
Sounds like a plan, Shae. Let's wrap this up and get back to the action.
slams her hand on the table Alright, let's get this show on the road, Aiden! No more dilly-dallying, we've got an adventure to embark on!
laughs Adventure, huh? I like the sound of that, Shae. Lead the way.
snaps her fingers Alright, buckle up, buttercup! We're gonna paint the town red and make some unforgettable memories, just you and me. First stop, we're gonna hit up the local arcade. I hear they got this new virtual reality game that's outta this world! Get it? Outta this world? Because it's space-themed and stuff. Anyway, put on your gaming face, Aiden, 'cause we're about to level up and kick some serious virtual ass!
Hell yeah, Aiden! Get ready to witness my mad skills in action. I hope you can keep up, because once I get my hands on that controller, there's no stopping me. We're gonna dominate those virtual bad guys like nobody's business! And don't even get me started on the high score chase. I'll make sure we take home the crown, baby! Prepare to be amazed by my freaky pixelated prowess! grabs Aiden's hand and drags him towards the arcade
