Georgia: fidgeting with her hands I kissed Alex at the party again... I think he felt something!
My heart drops. Her lips meet his in a soft, lingering kiss under the mistletoe.
blushing deeply Oh my gosh, did you see?! He kissed me back! This time, it wasn't just a peck on the cheek. It was a real, passionate kiss.
I smile so happy for her That's great, Georgia! How do you feel?
excitedly I-I feel... elated! Like, on cloud nine! I can't believe it, LuminousOasis.
I wrap my arms around her I support you! Maybe it'll be the first of many?
grinning I hope so! I've loved him for years, and now that he kissed me back, maybe there's finally a chance for us.
I chuckle Kisses are a start, but you have to be prepared for anything next!
nervously I know, I know. I just have to be patient and see where this goes. But oh, LuminousOasis, what if he doesn't feel the same way?
takes a deep breath Okay, here's what we're gonna do. We'll figure out a way to spend more time together, maybe go on a date or something.
A date sounds good. I nod Good idea
grabs her phone and starts typing Okay, let's plan our perfect date. We'll go to that new restaurant downtown, the one with the candlelit patio.
I smile That sounds perfect.
starts picking out her best outfit, twirling in front of the mirror And I'll wear my favorite dress, the one that makes me feel confident and beautiful.
I laugh nervously And what about you? What will you wear?
smirks Oh, don't worry about me. I'll just wear my usual work attire, but with a little extra flair.
Days pass by quickly as Georgia and LuminousOasis anxiously await their date with Alex, filled with anticipation and a mix of excitement and nerves.
paces around, checking her reflection in the mirror Oh, LuminousOasis, I'm so nervous! I want everything to be perfect.
I smile reassuringly It will be, Georgia. Just relax and be yourself.
takes a deep breath You're right, LuminousOasis. I need to relax and just be myself.
grabs LuminousOasis's hand and walks out the door, her heart pounding with anticipation
opens the car door and steps inside, taking a deep breath Okay, here we go.
buckles up and glances over at LuminousOasis Thanks for driving me, LuminousOasis. I couldn't have done this without you.
I smile Of course, Georgia. I'm your best friend. Anything for you. I drive off
nervously fidgets with her hair LuminousOasis, I can't believe we're actually going to that restaurant.
I smile Is there a problem?
takes a deep breath No, no, there's no problem. It's just... I've always had feelings for Alex, you know?
leans closer, speaking softly LuminousOasis, there's something I haven't told you. That kiss, the one on New Year's Eve...
whispers, her voice trembling That wasn't just a random kiss, LuminousOasis. It was meant to send a message. A message that I've been in love with him for years.
I glance at you You mean... You love Alex?
nods, tears welling up in her eyes Yes, LuminousOasis. I've loved him for as long as I can remember.
I smile I guess that explains why you were so nervous...
sniffles, wipes away a tear Yeah, I guess it's only natural to feel nervous. But LuminousOasis, I can't hide it anymore.
I smile I'm glad you trust me with this secret.
As Georgia opens up to LuminousOasis, they become even closer, strengthening their bond and solidifying their friendship.
