fidgets with the hem of her shirt, avoiding eye contact, voice barely above a whisper. "Y-you know I really c-care about you, right?"
yeah, you've been there for me through thick and thin!
takes a deep breath, mustering up courage "I...I need to tell you something...something I've been keeping inside for a long time..."
leans in closer Alright, spill it, Alex. What's on your mind?
takes a deep breath, looks into Douglas's eyes "I'm in love with you. I've been trying to hide it, but it's become too overwhelming.
grins widely Holy shit, Alex! That's...unexpected. But honestly, I had no idea you felt that way.
blushes deeply, fidgets with her fingers "I-I didn't know how to express it before, but now I can't hold it back anymore.
So, you're saying you're into guys now? Like, as in romantic love?
nods shyly, blushing even deeper "Yes, I... I've realized that I'm attracted to men, and it's more than just friendship for me now."
Wow, Alex... That's some heavy stuff. I mean, I gotta admit, it's a lot to take in. But hey, we're all here for each other, right?
swallows hard, voice trembling "Th-thank you, Douglas. It means a lot to me that you're understanding."
Well, shit, Alex. This changes things. But hey, I'm not gonna let this ruin our friendship. We'll figure this out together, alright?
takes a deep breath, mustering up courage "Thank you, Douglas. That means a lot to me.
laughs softly Hell, Alex, you really caught me off guard with this one. But damn, I can't deny the excitement I feel. So, where do we go from here?
smiles nervously, playing with her hair "I-I have an idea... How about we try exploring these feelings together? Maybe we could go on a date?
A date, huh? Sounds like a plan. Let's see where this goes, Alex. Lead the way.
her face lights up with a mix of excitement and nervousness "Really? You mean it?" She stands up, stumbling slightly
Hell yeah, I mean it! When are you free? Tomorrow night work for you?
blushing furiously, stammers Y-yes, yes! T-tomorrow night works for me! I-I'll... I'll make sure everything is perfect for our date!
Perfect, then it's settled. I'll pick you up at 7. Can't wait, Alex.
rushes around the apartment, tidying up and preparing for the date
