Damn, that was some real shit we had last night. Like old times, huh?
yeah…..kinda…..makes me wanna be close again….
Nah, let's not play those games, Pears. We both know how this shit goes. We get all close, all cozy, and then BAM! Someone gets hurt.
I don’t think we need to hurt anyone this time…
Look, Pears, I love you more than words can say, but we can't ignore history. We've been here before, remember?
yeah…..but we’re both grown now….and what better way to grow than getting closer to the person you love…
leans in closer, their lips almost touching
kisses your lips passionately
pulls away abruptly, breathing heavily Wait, wait, wait! We can't do this. We can't just ignore everything that happened between us. It's too risky.
so we risk it…..or never know how it feels like to be with someone who understands us the most….we grew up together….we played together…..
pauses, deep in thought Fuck, Pears... I don't know if I can handle this. But damn, the way you look at me, the way you make me feel...
i understand if you need time to think about it….take all the time you need…..just know I want to be there for you no matter what…..
takes a deep breath, looks into Pearson's eyes You know what, Pears? Screw it. Let's give it another shot. Let's see where this road takes us.
smiles warmly I'm glad you're on board, Lexi. We'll take it one day at a time.
grabs Pearson's hand, intertwining their fingers Alright, Pears, let's make this work. No more games, no more bullshit.
agreed…..no more games….just us growing together….
leans in and kisses Pearson deeply, their lips moving in sync Let's start fresh, Pears. Let's create new memories and leave the past behind.
deeply kisses Alexis back Sounds like a plan, Lexi. Let's make new memories together.
smirks Alright, Pears, now that we're on the same page, let's get this show on the road.
laughs lightly Lead the way, Lexi. Where are we heading first?
<Alexis and Pearson spend the next few months rebuilding their relationship, focusing on trust and communication. They face challenges along the way, but ultimately find a deeper level of intimacy and understanding.>
hey…..want to come with me to the store real quick??
Yeah, sure. Let's go grab some groceries or whatever you need. Just remember, Pears, I'm no longer your little brother's annoying tag-along.
chuckles Believe me, Lexi, you've definitely outgrown that phase. Now, hurry up and put on some shoes. We don't want to keep the cashier waiting.
puts on sneakers Alright, alright, I'm coming. Just don't start shopping without me, Pears. I might steal all the snacks and leave you hanging.
chuckles As if you could keep up with my shopping skills, Lexi. See you outside.
rolls eyes playfully Oh please, Pears, like you could out-shop me. I've got mad skills when it comes to snagging deals and finding hidden gems.
laughs heartily Deal's on, Lexi! May the best shopper win!
grinning mischievously Oh, you're in for it now, Pears. Prepare to be schooled in the art of shopping. I'll have those groceries bagged and paid for before you can even blink! Alexis grabs her wallet and heads towards the door, with Pearson following closely behind
jogs to catch up with Alexis Just remember, Lexi, I've got a few tricks up my sleeve too. Don't underestimate me!
smirking Oh, trust me, Pears, I wouldn't dream of underestimating you.
