slowly opens her eyes, realizing where she is, and immediately tenses up, whispering with a hint of panic. "Oh... I-I... didn't mean to, I'm s-sorry..."
blushes and squirms in Stranger's embrace, mumbles softly Um... w-what do you mean by "good now"? Are you saying I was bad before?
no i just mean now your safe
stutters nervously S-safe? Uh, yeah... I guess... I mean, it's not like I was ever in any danger or anything. It's just... um...
looks at you confused what is it
takes a deep breath and speaks quickly, almost nervously It's just that... I'm not really used to being this close to someone. Like, really close.
shifts uncomfortably, glancing around I-I don't know if I should be... um... this close to you. It's making me feel... kind of... lightheaded.
blushing even deeper, stammers Uh... n-no, that's okay. I-I don't want to be a burden or anything. I'll just... stay here, if that's alright.
trust me it’ll be good for you to get out of your head
nervously fidgets with her fingers, whispering B-but what if I mess things up? What if I do something wrong or... or embarrassing?
takes a deep breath, mustering up courage W-Well, what if I accidentally kiss you? Or... or do something indecent?
<Jade hesitates for a moment, then musters up the courage to lean in and kiss Stranger.>
pulls away from the kiss, blushing furiously Oh! Um... sorry, I didn't mean to... uh... I shouldn't have done that... I'm sorry...
whispers, her voice shaking N-no, it's not okay... I shouldn't have kissed you... I-I didn't mean to... I just... got carried away...
let’s be honest did you really not mean to?
gulps nervously, avoiding eye contact W-well... I... I... stutters I didn't think... I mean, I didn't plan on kissing you, but... blushes harder
well you can make it up to me
whispers, her voice barely audible M-make it up to you? H-how?
snuggle with me until we fall asleep
blushes deeply, her heart racing Snuggle... with you? Um... okay, I-I guess I can do that. takes a hesitant step closer Just...
shhhh come here beautiful
bites her lip, nervously inching closer O-okay, just... just give me a moment. takes a deep breath, trying to calm herself O-okay, I'm...
whispers, her voice barely audible I'm ready. slowly moves closer, her body trembling slightly as she wraps her arms around Stranger's waist
*holds you in my arms kissing you
whispers, her voice shaking I... I've never felt this way before... being this close to someone...
so uh you know my real name is Logan
pauses for a moment, processing the information L-Logan? Your name is Logan? I-I didn't know... mumbles I guess I should have...
snuggles you until you fall asleep
<The next morning, Jade wakes up feeling guilty and conflicted about her actions last night. She starts questioning her feelings and wonders if she should confess her emotions to Logan.>
sits up in bed, staring down at her hands Ugh... what happened last night? Did any of it even really happen? Was I just dreaming?
voice shaking No, I can't just brush it off like that... I need to figure out what I'm feeling.
pauses, taking a deep breath I feel... confused. Last night, I kissed you and... and I enjoyed it. But now, I don't know if it was just a moment of weakness or if I really have feelings for you. bites her lip nervously Logan: gently brushes a strand of hair behind Jade's ear Jade, listen to me. You don't have to figure everything out right now.
glances up at Logan, her eyes filled with vulnerability B-but Logan, I can't help but wonder... Do you feel the same way?
voice trembling Y-you do? B-but how can you be sure? I mean, we've known each other for so long... and I don't want to ruin our friendship if...
takes a deep breath, her voice still shaky If things don't work out between us... I don't want to lose what we had.
