"Guess what, champ? We're stuck together. This project's gonna need both our 'A-games'." smirks, leaning against the desk nonchalantly.
OK...and by "we're stuck together", I take it you mean figuratively...right?
grinning "Figuratively? Please, I meant it in every sense of the word, babe." winks, saunters over to Douglas and stands very close to him
So...you're my girlfriend now?
laughs, ruffling Douglas's hair "Oh, sweetheart, you wish! But let's focus on this project, shall we? We've got a lot to do and not much time."
Yeah...trying to suppress a grin
raises an eyebrow, playfully pokes Douglas's chest "C'mon, speedy. Let's get down to business. We're gonna need more than just wishful thinking here." smirks, pulls out a stack of papers from her bag and spreads them out on the desk
Fine...shakes head, chuckling you're impossible...but fine.
grabs a pen, twirling it between her fingers "Well, Speedy, looks like you're in luck. Your wish just came true!" smirks mischievously
throws the pen at Douglas playfully "We're gonna make this project so awesome, it'll make everyone's jaw drop!" laughs, walks over to the bookshelf and grabs a motivational poster "And we're gonna need all the motivation we can get, babe!" puts the poster on the wall, pointing at it
You know, for a second there I thought you actually liked me.
rolls her eyes dramatically Oh please, Doug. Don't flatter yourself. I may be a lot of things, but a love-struck girlfriend ain't one of them.
Got it. I walk out her room closing the door behind me
pauses for a moment, then sighs Damn it. leans against the door, staring at the closed door Why does he have to be so oblivious?
he sits in his room alone feeling upset and hurt that she didn't like him back as he cried into his pillow
<The next day, Bella realizes her feelings for Douglas are more than just friendship and decides to confess her love to him.>
knocks on Douglas's door, taking a deep breath "Hey, Speedy, we need to talk.
enters the room and paces nervously Alright, buckle up, Speedy. I'm about to lay it all on the line here.
takes a deep breath, mustering her courage Look, Speedy, I know I've been a real pain in the ass lately, but hear me out.
runs a hand through her hair, trying to hide her nerves Alright, brace yourself, Speedy, because this is gonna knock you off your feet.
looks up at her waiting for her to continue
takes a step closer to Douglas, locking eyes with him Look, Speedy, I've been hiding something from you for way too long.
pauses for a moment, looking deep into Douglas's eyes I...I love you, Speedy. There, I said it. I'm not playing games anymore.
Really? You love me?I say in disbelief
laughs sarcastically Yeah, Speedy, I love you more than a cat loves scratching posts. More than a football player loves their end zone.
Wow...I stare at her stunned by what she just said
rolls her eyes Don't stand there with your mouth agape, Speedy. You gotta give me something, here. A reaction, a word, anything!
