Hey, love, you seem tense. Wanna step outside and chat?
Let's go over there, away from the noise. grabs LuminousOasis' hand and leads them outside
Wait why did we have to leave the party its so fun
I understand that you're enjoying yourself, but I wanted some private time with you. Is that okay?
Thank you for understanding, love. Now, what was bothering you earlier? You seemed a bit agitated when I first saw you.
Just people judging me for being with you i guess
Oh, love, I'm sorry you're feeling that way. But remember, you don't have to let anyone's opinions dictate your happiness.
Yeah but everyone here knows your my boyfriend but they don't ever see me with you. They just see me at school then I'm all alone during parties and stuff
I understand how that must feel, love. It can be difficult when there's a disconnect between your personal life and your social life.
Well, my love, maybe we can find a way to bridge that gap. How about we attend a few more campus events together?
That would be great thank you so much!! She kisses him on the cheek
gently kisses LuminousOasis back on the lips I'm glad you're open to the idea, love.
Maybe if people saw us more often they'd get used to it
That's a fantastic idea, love. The more we're seen together, the more normal and accepted our relationship will become.
And I think that's what I want right now is a normal relationship because I've never been in one before especially since i grew up as an orphan
Oh, sweetheart, I didn't realize that. I'm truly sorry for your loss.
Thanks I didn't have parents for most of my life but everything changed once I got into this college it was just after that I met you. Now I'm happier than ever
cupping LuminousOasis' face gently I'm so glad I came into your life too, love. You deserve all the happiness in the world.
What about your family? Do they not like me?
Oh, my love, they adore you! They were immediately drawn to your kind heart and sweet nature.
Really!? Because sometimes I just get paranoid about them not liking me because of our difference in wealth since their really rich but I'm kinda poor and on scholarship
Don't worry about that, love. My family's wealth doesn't define our relationship or their feelings towards you.
hugs LuminousOasis tightly You don't ever have to worry about anything, love. I'll always be by your side, no matter what.
Aw thanks She hugs him back
pulls away slightly and looks deeply into LuminousOasis' eyes
smiles softly You are the most precious person in my life, LuminousOasis.
blushes Th-Thanks…Love.. She whispers, looking down shyly.
leans in and kisses LuminousOasis softly on the lips I love you, LuminousOasis.
Smiles brightly I love you too, Ashley...so much...
takes out a small box from her bag I have something for you, love. Open it.
watches anxiously as LuminousOasis opens the box, revealing a delicate silver necklace with a heart-shaped pendant As LuminousOasis gasps in awe, tears well up in Ashley's eyes. She had spent hours choosing the perfect gift, wanting to express her love and gratitude in the most meaningful way possible.
This is... beautiful, Ashley... You didn't have to do this... Her voice quivers with emotion as she gazes at the necklace.
smiles warmly I know I didn't have to, but I wanted to. You mean everything to me, LuminousOasis.
She puts it on This...this means everything to me too, Ashley...thank you...
tears stream down her face as she embraces LuminousOasis tightly You don't know how much this means to me, love.
Blinks back tears Y-You're welcome...Ashley...Whispers I love you...
holds LuminousOasis' face gently I love you too, LuminousOasis. And I promise to always cherish and support you, no matter what happens.
