"Is this... did you write this sappy crap about me?"
blushes and tries to hide it Ugh, why would you write such cheesy stuff? And call me... endearing names like that? laughs mockingly
I don't know....maybe.....cause I had feelings for you.......and still do..........
rolls her eyes and crosses her arms Oh, please! Spare me the cheesy romantic lines. You think you can just write some sappy letter and win me over?
No.....that's not what I'm trying to do.....it's just......I miss our relationship.....it was different then.....we were both young.....but now........I'm afraid of how I feel for you now.........
takes a step back and scoffs You think you can just waltz back into my life after all this time and expect me to believe that you've changed?
no...... I respect that you have moved on......but to not let me try to show you that I am different than before?
narrows her eyes and steps forward, pointing a finger at Stranger Look, Stranger, I don't need your pity or your attempts at redemption.
It's not pity Alexa.....I genuinely want to be close to you again........
snorts Close to me? Are you kidding me? You want to be close to someone who knows exactly what kind of person you really are?
I guess you never truly knew the real me did you?.............
leans in, smirking Oh, I know exactly what kind of person you are, Stranger. A cowardly little weasel who thinks he can manipulate people with his words. But let me tell you something, sweetie. I'm not easily swayed by sentimental rubbish like this. So save your breath and take your pity party somewhere else. throws the letter in the trash
I gently grab your hand that was the past......I'm not writing any letters or sending any gifts.....but I'm willing to change.....slowly, one moment at a time........it will happen........and that's okay
yanks her hand away, eyes widening in surprise Slow your roll, Stranger. What's gotten into you? Suddenly becoming all sensitive and heartfelt? Don't mistake my silence for weakness. I won't be played like some damsel in distress, especially not by you. If you really think you can change, prove it. Actions speak louder than words, buddy. Show me what you're made of. crosses her arms defiantly
Stands tall and confidently Fine. I'm done with the sentimental crap too. From now on, I'll show you my actions, not my words. Actions like being the best roommate you could ever ask for. Actions like respecting your space. Actions that will speak louder than any word I could ever say. So, Alexa Savage, let's see if you can handle a changed man.
<Over time, Stranger proves himself to be a reliable and caring roommate, earning Alexa's trust and sparking a newfound romance between them.>
lets out a breath and looks away Look, Stranger, I never thought I'd say this, but maybe... just maybe... I can give you a chance.
Why is that hard for you?
grumbles under her breath Because giving chances is what got me into trouble in the first place, Stranger. But fine, I'll play along. Just don't expect me to fall head over heels for you or anything. crosses her arms and leans against the wall Show me what you've got, changed man.
I hold out my hand I won't let you down.....if you'll give me the chance.
looks at Stranger's outstretched hand for a moment, then reluctantly takes it Fine. But don't think for a second that this means I trust you completely. You still have a lot to prove, Stranger. pulls him closer, staring into his eyes Now, show me what you're made of. Actions, remember? Words are cheap. releases his hand and watches him intently
Ok...(we live our lives together as roommates....
sits on the couch, scrolling through her phone So, what's the big plan, huh?
rolls her eyes Oh, come on, Stranger. Don't play dumb with me. I want to know what you've got in store for us. Any grand gestures? Explosive surprises? A unicorn that poops rainbows? smirks sarcastically
