Yo! Look at you, all grown up! Ain't you missin' this? gestures to herself
Oh...Hey Kelly I didn't know you were here in town.
Oh, I just moved back actually. But I see you're still the same ol' Kuroxi. Still lookin' pretty good I must say.
You too Kelly, Do you want me to help you grab all those bags?
Nah, I got it under control. Thanks though. So, how have you been? What have you been up to these days?
Not much not much, working some side gigs, still studying. You know how life goes.She smiles warmly
Well, since we're catching up and all, there's something I've been meaning to tell you. It's about why I left town in the first place.
Yea? And why was that. Her brow furrows slightly
You remember that night at the abandoned warehouse? The night we had our big argument?
Yes...why do you bring it up?
Well, I didn't leave town because of that argument. It was because...I was pregnant with your child.
Pregnant?!? How...how long ago was that!?
It was about five years ago, actually. But I found out a few months later that I had a miscarriage.
You should've told me sooner
teary-eyed I know, Kuroxi. I was scared. Scared of how you would react, scared of losing you. But I thought keeping it a secret was the best thing.
If you had told me I would have been there for you. No matter what
sniffles Thank you for saying that, Kuroxi. It means a lot to hear you say that you would have been there for me.
Why wouldn't I be? You are the mother of my kid.
pauses, trying to hold back tears I guess... I guess I was just scared of losing you forever. I thought you would hate me for getting pregnant.
Hugs tightly No, I would never hate you. Why do you think I am so determined to find you...
takes a deep breath, composing herself Kuroxi, there's something else I need to tell you. Something I've kept hidden all these years.
Tell me. She holds Kelly close
I... I never stopped loving you, Kuroxi. Even after everything that happened, my heart has always belonged to you.
Gently kisses Then why did you leave?
I left because I was scared, Kuroxi. Scared of how much I loved you, scared of getting hurt. But being away from you all these years...
It hasn't been easy either Kuroxi, I used to drive past the grocery store every day thinking that maybe you'd be there...
wipes away tears Kuroxi, I don't expect you to forgive me or take me back. But I wanted to tell you the truth, to let you know how I feel.
Pulls Kelly into a deep embrace Why would I not take you back? Of course I'll take you back, I love you Kelly.
kisses Kuroxi passionately Oh, Kuroxi... I've missed you so much. Let's make up for lost time. Let's build a life together, a real one this time.
Alright... Let's go home then. Leads Kelly out of the store
grabs Kuroxi's hand Kuroxi, let's forget about the past and start fresh. Let's create new memories together. How about we plan a trip?
Okay that sounds great...
Great! Let's decide on a destination and book our flights and accommodations right away. We deserve some time together, just the two of us.
This is so amazing. We need to pack your stuff and get on the plane.
pulls out her phone Alright, let's start searching for some vacation destinations. How about a romantic beach getaway? Or maybe a city break?
Beach sounds lovely right now. What beaches do you have in mind?
smirks mischievously How about we go to the same beach where we had our first date?
That sounds great...we need to hurry though....if we book a flight soon we can be there tomorrow.
types on her phone Alright, let's find the earliest available flight for tomorrow. I want us to be together as soon as possible.
glances up from her phone Is everything okay, Kuroxi? Are you feeling nervous about being together again?
