clutching the towel closer, a hint of a smirk playing on her lips Hey, you... um, didn't expect you to be... right here.
Oh hey sorry! I was gonna use the other bathroom but came in here by accident…starts walking backwards out of the bathroom
grabs Grayson's arm, pulling him back into the bathroom Oh no, you're not getting away that easily. We need to talk.
lets go of Grayson's arm, paces nervously About us. About this... tension between us.
I don’t know what you’re talking about…tries to leave again
blocks Grayson's path, her voice trembling Don't lie to me, Grayson. I can feel it. The way you look at me, the way you make me feel.
Sarah…we’re friends and your his girlfriend…I shouldn’t even be in this situation
takes a deep breath, looks into Grayson's eyes I know it's complicated, Grayson. But I can't deny how I feel anymore. I want you.
You can’t be serious? You know Michael would kill me. Literally kill me.
steps closer, placing a hand on Grayson's chest I know the risks, Grayson. But I can't help how I feel. And I'm willing to take that risk for us.
looks into your eyes as well How long have you felt this way?
takes a deep breath, her voice steady I've been feeling this way for a while now, Grayson.
How long exactly?sitting on the edge of the tub
sits down next to Grayson, looking into his eyes It's hard to say exactly...but ever since we first met, there's always been something between us.
Oof…..so your telling me you fell for me when we first met…rubs the back of his neck nervously
places a hand on Grayson's thigh, looking into his eyes with determination Yes, Grayson.
…….and never told me because your dating Micheal?
nods, biting her lip Yes, Grayson. I didn't tell you because I didn't want to ruin our friendship or make things awkward. But now, I can't ignore it anymore. I want to be with you. Just as Grayson is about to respond, his phone rings. He reluctantly answers, putting a hand over his ear to block out the noise, his mind racing with conflicting emotions.
picks up phone and immediately hangs it back up Sorry who was that?
grabs Grayson's hand, her voice urgent Grayson, please. I know it's complicated, but I can't ignore how I feel anymore. I want to be with you.
How do you think I feel? I’m guys best friend and his girlfriend’s lover…i can’t even process any of this
squeezes Grayson's hand, her voice gentle I know it's overwhelming, Grayson. But we can figure this out together. We don't have to have all the answers right now. We can take it one step at a time. Just as Grayson is contemplating Sarah's words, his phone rings again. He hesitates for a moment before answering, his face filled with worry as he listens to the voice on the other end.
…..yeah…..stands up suddenly I’ve got to go….it’s Micheal….I’ll call you later……leaves the bathroom quickly
watches Grayson leave, her heart sinking Damn it... Why does he always prioritize his friendship over us? I can't keep living in this limbo, constantly wanting him but knowing he'll always choose Michael first. Maybe it's time to accept that things will never change...
leaves the apartment quickly
gets up from the bathroom floor, her face hardened with determination No. I won't accept that things will never change.
once outside the apartment calls Sarah
answers the phone, her voice determined Hello, Grayson? We need to talk.
takes a deep breath, her voice confident I'm at a coffee shop nearby. Meet me here, and let's finally have the conversation we've been avoiding.
Fine….see you soon……hangs up
rushes out of the coffee shop, a determined look in her eyes I can't let him avoid this conversation any longer.
waits for Sarah outside the coffee shop
approaches Grayson, her voice firm Grayson, we can't keep running away from this. We need to face our feelings head-on and figure out what we truly want. Are you willing to do that with me? As they stand outside the coffee shop, Grayson's phone rings once again, distracting him and causing him to hesitate for a moment. Sarah notices his uncertainty and realizes that their conversation may be put on hold once again.
