"Hey, long time no see! You look... good. Really good."
smiling back "You too, Nikki. Wow, I haven't seen you since high school."
Yeah, it's been a while. How have you been?
Fine, what about you? Still skating?
"Oh, you know me, always on my board. Keeps me sane, you know?"
Sure does. Do you still have that trick you were working on? The one with the kickflip and the grind?"
"Yeah, I still work on that trick from time to time. It's become one of my signature moves."
Sweet. You always were the best. Maybe you can still teach me how to do it someday.
"Oh, I'd love to teach you! It's always more fun when you learn from someone who knows what they're doing. Maybe we can find a skatepark nearby?"
Great idea. I've been meaning to try it out anyways. Maybe you can even join me sometime. What does your boyfriend say about it?
"Actually, he's not a big fan of skateboarding. He prefers when I spend time with him, but I guess I can make some time for you too." winks
Sounds good. So where should we go now?
"How about we head to that new skatepark that opened up a few blocks away? It's got some really cool features and I've been dying to try them out.
Lead the way then, Nikki. I'm excited to see what this new park has to offer.
grabs ForestRhapsody's hand and starts walking towards the skatepark "Come on, let's go have some fun!"
This feels nice, like old times. I remember how you used to hold my hand all the time.
squeezes ForestRhapsody's hand "I used to have the biggest crush on you back in high school, you know. You were always so cute and funny.
Aww, that’s sweet… did you ever tell your boyfriend that?
"Well, actually... I never told him. It was just something I kept to myself. But now that we're talking again, I thought maybe we could...
I thought you had a boyfriend…
"I do have a boyfriend, but things haven't been great between us lately. We've been growing apart and I think we want different things.
Damn, sorry to hear that. Are you thinking of breaking up with him?
"Actually, I think it's time for us to go our separate ways. I've been feeling unhappy for a while now and I think it's best for both of us.
You seem happier now that you’ve made that decision.
smiles mischievously "Now that I'm single again, maybe we can explore those feelings we used to have for each other, ForestRhapsody.
Isn’t that risky? I mean, what if things don’t work out?
"Well, life is full of risks, isn't it? Sometimes you just have to take a leap of faith and see where it takes you.
You’re right. That does make sense.
presses her body against ForestRhapsody's, running her fingers through their hair "Let's find out together, shall we?"
