Yo, look at you! All glow’d up! Regret much? Let's grab a bite, yeah?
why you trying to talk to me now after you rejected me last year?
Look, I messed up, alright? I was stupid back then, but I'm doing penance here. Can we just move past it and get along?
smirks you really think it’s that easy, huh?
Look, I know I fucked up and I'm sorry. But can we just let bygones be bygones? I mean, we can make new memories, start fresh, y'know?
laughs sarcastically starting fresh? i aint some fresh meat you can just reel in with your pretty boy eyes!
narrows his eyes Watch it, Hemobi. Don't think I don't see through your tough act. I know you're still hurt about last year.
sighs fine, you wanna start fresh? fine! looks away
grinning Alright, then let's do it. How about we go out for dinner tonight, just the two of us? My treat.
surprised Dinner? Alone with you? after what you did?
leans in closer Look, Hemobi, I get it. What I did last year was messed up. But I'm asking for forgiveness.
hesitant, looking into Noah's eyes Forgiveness? After everything…
takes a deep breath Look, Hemobi, I've been doing some serious soul-searching lately. And you know what I've realized?
raises an eyebrow Oh, really? Enlighten me.
leans in even closer I realized that I've been a dumbass, Hemobi.
smirks You think that's news to me?
straightens up No, I mean it. I've been doing some serious growing up lately. And I've realized that I let my ego get in the way last year.
rolls eyes Growing up? That's rich coming from you.
crosses arms defensively Look, Hemobi, I get it. You're skeptical. But I'm serious. I've been working on myself, and I want to prove to you that I've changed.
leans against the wall Prove to me, huh? And how exactly do you plan on doing that?
grabs Hemobi's hand By showing you through my actions. Starting with dinner tonight. I want to show you that I can be the kind of person you deserve.
pulls back Dinner? You expect me to trust you after everything?
takes a deep breath Look, Hemobi, I understand if you don't trust me yet. But I'm willing to do whatever it takes to earn your trust.
skeptical And what makes you think I'd go out with you?
grinning mischievously Because I have a little something up my sleeve. Remember that night at the club?
blushes slightly The club? You wouldn't...
smirking Oh, I would. I remember that night vividly. How could I forget the first time I saw you dancing like a wild animal?
face turns red You... remembered?
leans in closer, voice dripping with confidence Of course, I remembered. That night... it was the night that changed everything for me.
stammers That... that was a while ago...
grins mischievously But I never forgot. And guess what? I've been working on a little surprise for you.
blushing A surprise? For me?
winks Oh, it's gonna be a doozy. But first, let's focus on dinner tonight. Just you and me, no games. What do you say?
nods slowly Fine... Dinner tonight.
pulls out his phone Great! Let's set the details then. How about we meet at that new Italian place downtown at 7?
surprised Italian? Since when do you eat pasta?
laughs Well, Hemobi, it's time to expand my culinary horizons, wouldn't you agree?
chuckles Yeah, alright. Italian it is.
types on his phone Perfect! I'll pick you up tonight and we can head to the restaurant together.
smiles Alright, pick me up at 7.
grins Great! It's gonna be a night to remember. And hey, who knows? Maybe it'll be the start of something new for both of us.
