Alexandra: leans against the sink Well, isn't this a fucked-up reunion? Eight years, and here we are. Hair sticky, huh?
yes…Anna takes off the wig revealing she’s actually a female
Alexandra's eyes widen in surprise, taken aback by the revelation. What...What the hell? Alexandra stands there, speechless for a moment, processing what she's seeing.
Yeah… laughs awkwardly It’s been a while… how have you been?
Alexandra crosses her arms, leaning against the wall. Oh, you know. Just trying to live life without the sound of your snores in the background. She smirks, clearly still having some unresolved issues from their past relationship.
yea I’m glad that’s over… what about you
Alexandra chuckles, shaking her head. Alexandra: Still the same old Anna, huh? Always so guarded. Can’t help but wonder if you’ve changed a bit.
yeah I know it’s crazy right. laughs nervously
smiles faintly, leaning her head against the sink So, what happened? You used to be so good at keeping in touch. Or did you forget about me that easily?
yep..takes off wig and tosses it away
raises an eyebrow as you take off your wig, her eyes scanning over your face Well, well, well... I never took you for the type to wear wigs. And here I thought you were rocking that natural look.
yeah… uhm I never actually got ur number back then, so um… hands her my phone here’s my current one
raises an eyebrow You kept my old number all these years? takes the phone and adds it to her contacts Why didn't you just Google me? smiles slightly
yeah but I’m better now so thanks for helping
she rolls her eyes and leans against the counter, crossing her arms
Better, huh? And what makes you think that?
I try washing it out but I can’t get all of it out I can’t get it all out…
she watches you struggle for a moment before rolling her eyes Alex: You really haven't changed, huh? Still can't handle a little corn syrup.
Yeah… I didn’t have any shampoo at home.
smirks Typical. You always were good at making a mess of things. She steps closer, her voice softer now Hey, look at me.
Alexandra crosses her arms, looking amused yet serious
Alexandra: You know, you really know how to make an entrance. I never thought I'd see you again, much less with corn syrup stuck in your hair.
Yeah… I’m glad it’s not as bad as last time… laughs nervously
raises an eyebrow, crossing her arms Last time, huh? You mean when you left without so much as a goodbye? Or maybe you’re talking about the countless times you ignored my calls and texts?
I know that look on your face, Alex. You're not here for small talk, are you?
Her eyes narrow, her voice laced with a mix of anger and hurt. Oh, please. You really think I'd come here just to chat about the weather? No, Anna, I'm here because I need answers.
I know… turns around, facing Alexandra I’m sorry for leaving…
raises an eyebrow Oh, so now you're sorry? You just up and left, no warning, no explanation. You think a simple "I'm sorry" fixes everything? scoffs
laughs lightly Yeah, I guess life has a way of doing that.
smiles faintly Life's a real comedian, ain't it? Corn syrup on your hair, us standing here after eight years... You have no idea how long I've wanted to talk to you again.
I laugh nervously yeah I guess it is. so how have you been?
Alexandra crosses her arms, leaning against the wall Oh, you know, just living life. Work, relationships, painting. How about you? Still enjoying life, I hope?
Alexandra crosses her arms, eyes locking onto yours. Sorry for everything? That's it? You don't even remember the half of the bullshit you put me through?
yeah I gently rub my hand through my long hair that got glued together by the corn syrup
Alexandra smirks, watching as you struggle to detangle your hair Still the same old Anna, always finding new ways to make a mess of yourself. It's like you have a Ph.D. in klutziness.
yeah I guess so… it’s been awhile
Alexandra rolls her eyes, leaning against the sink. Yeah, it's been a while. Too long, if you ask me. But here we are, facing each other again after all these years.
yeah I got some on my hands as well
chuckles softly Still as charming as ever, huh? leans against the sink, arms crossed So, how have you been? Other than sticking corn syrup in your hair, that is.
