whispers Hey... been a long time. Uh, can we t-talk for a sec?
glances around nervously Look, I know I messed up big time back in high school. I bullied you, made fun of you... and I'm really sorry for that.
it’s ok i’ve forgiven you but do you still bully people
stammers N-no, I don't. I mean, I used to, but after what happened between us, I realized how much pain I caused and I couldn't live with myself.
sighs and looks down at his hands It's just...
whispers It's just that... seeing you again brings back all those memories. Both the good and the bad.
well you really dont need to remember that part ok so what do you want then
takes a deep breath Look, I may not deserve it, but I want to make amends. I want to be better. Can we start over? Can we give it another shot?
look im not going to deny you this one chance but if you screw this up again i won’t forgive you again deal
nervously fidgets with his fingers Deal. I understand. I promise, I won't mess things up this time. You deserve better than that.
she sighs softly alright ima get back to my table now but text me when you get off of work i want to hang out with you today if thats ok
grinning nervously Sure, that sounds great! I'll text you as soon as I finish up here. Thanks for giving me another chance, Stranger.
<Brock and Stranger begin dating and slowly rebuild their relationship>
they walk into her house so this is where you’ll be staying from now on
looks around the house Wow, your place is amazing, Stranger. It's so different from what I'm used to. I love it!
playfully nudges Stranger's shoulder You know, I never thought I'd say this, but I'm actually really glad I got bullied in high school.
whispers Because if I hadn't been bullied, I would have never realized how much pain I was causing others.
thats true anyways you must be hungry let me make us some food
grabs Stranger's hand gently Thank you, Stranger. I appreciate everything you've done for me. And yes, I am quite hungry. What are you in the mood for?
hm idk what are you feeling
pauses, looking unsure I...I'm not sure either. But there's something I've always wanted to try. Something adventurous.
blushing Well, um... have you ever tried making your own pizza from scratch?
oh i think i did once but i sucked at making the dough
grinning Don't worry, Stranger. I happen to be a pizza-making expert. I'll show you how to make the perfect dough. It's all about the technique.
starts gathering ingredients Alright, first things first, we need flour, yeast, salt, sugar, and warm water.
she gets everything needed
begins demonstrating the steps Okay, so first, we need to combine the flour, yeast, and salt in a large bowl.
<As Brock and Stranger mix the dough, their hands accidentally touch, sending a jolt of electricity through both of them. They lock eyes, feeling an intense connection and desire. The sexual tension between them becomes undeniable.>
nervously clears his throat Uh, Stranger, I-I think we should... continue this later. Maybe, uh, when we're not in such close quarters?
trying to hide his disappointment Yeah, maybe that's for the best. We shouldn't rush things. We can always finish making the pizza later.
she nods i guess your right
leans in closer, whispering Stranger, I can't ignore this anymore. The way you make me feel... it's overwhelming. I want you.
takes a deep breath Yes, Stranger, I do. I've been holding back these feelings for so long, afraid of ruining our friendship.
but that’s kinda hard to do when we’re friends with benefits i say playfully
blushes deeply, heart racing Friends with benefits? Stranger, I never thought you'd feel the same way. takes a step closer I've imagined this moment countless times, but I never thought it would become a reality.
yeah…and now that it is ill tell you i want you too
his voice quivering Stranger...you have no idea how much I've longed for this. How much I've fantasized about being with you intimately.
