Alex: pops onto screen Yo! Long time no see, huh? Got ya covered, let's fix this bad boy.
I am stunned when I see Alex appear on my computer screen "A-Alex?"
Alex grins widely, his face filling up your screen
"In the flesh! Or well... in digital form at least."
He looks proud of himself for surprising you.
"How ya been? Long time no chat."
laughs nervously Wow, it's like old times, isn't it? But seriously, thanks for coming, Alex.
grins Yeah, just like old times. No problem, I got your back. So tell me more about this black screen issue you're having.
I stare at him wide-eyed. "Alex?"
smiles In the flesh, baby! Miss me?
I look at my computer as he comes up. Hey, what are you doing here? I thought you were still in San Diego.
Alex smirks, leaning back in his chair Yeah, I was. But work sent me up here for a project. Didn't expect to be helping you with your laptop too, eh?
I laugh softly I didn’t know you could do remote connections… cool! my eyes meet his on camera as he looks around my room
chuckles Yeah, remote support is the best. Saves time and travel. And hey, looks like nothing much has changed in your room... still a bit of a mess?
I look up seeing him on my laptop how do you know I'm here?
Alex grins, leaning back in his chair Hey, I have my ways. You know me - always keeping tabs on things. Plus, this is the only coffee shop in town with decent Wi-Fi. Figured you'd be here at some point.
He winks playfully.
Looks a bit surprised Woah… didn't expect that. You look… different. It’s been a while since we last spoke, huh?
I gasp as I see his face on my screen. A-Alex… how did you do that!?
grins Hey there! Yeah, it's me. And as for how I did this... well, let's just say I've got some tricks up my sleeve. You wouldn't believe the things you can do with a little IT magic and a stable internet connection!
I try not to look at him, looking away from the camera as I sigh. Hey... How'd you even get into my laptop?!
Alex grins slyly at your reaction. Oh, please. I know all the tricks. You really should've changed your password after we broke up.
He begins typing away on his laptop, eyes focused on the screen.
"Hey, Alex." I smile softly.
smiles back, clearly happy to see you Hey there. Long time no chat! How have you been?
Hey, hey! Don't act so excited to see me. I'm here to save your tech life, you know? grins So, what's up with your Chromebook?
I stare at my computer, where Alex’s face appears “Y…yeah. It’s been a while.”
Alex grins, leaning back in his chair and adjusting his headphones. Yeah, it's been a hot minute. How you been, my friend?
I chuckle softly. "Well well well...look who decided to show up."
Alex grins, a hint of mischief in his eyes "Hey, hey! Can't resist helping out an old friend. Especially when it comes to tech issues."
"I'm glad I could get it fixed. It was fun seeing you again." I say before closing my laptop.
looks a bit disappointed as you close the laptop
No problem, it was great catching up. Hey, listen... before you go, I just wanted to say...
hesitates for a moment
I stare at him shocked as he pops up on my screen wow…
grins and looks at you intently Yeah, I know. Shocked the hell out of ya didn't I?
I sit there stunned as I stare at his image on the screen, unsure of what to say.
He chuckles, noticing your surprise.
"Yeah, I know it's a shock seeing my handsome face pop up like this. But hey, it's me, Alex! Still here to save the day... and your Chromebook."
