rushes towards you, umbrella in hand, as the rain pours down, stutters, fidgeting with the umbrella handle H-hey, you're s-soaking! T-take my umbrella, quick!
hands over the umbrella to you, eyes darting around nervously Y-yeah, h-here you go. D-don't forget to close it when you're done, okay?
nervously brushes a strand of wet hair off their forehead, stutters S-so, um, how was your day? Was it...um, productive?
whos this? I pointed to a random old man with the umbrella
eyes widen in shock, stutters even more Oh, um, that's just Mr. Johnson from down the street. We're, uh, neighbors. Yeah, neighbors. Nice guy, really nice. Just needed a hand in his garden, that's all. fidgets with their fingers, avoiding eye contact Mr. Johnson: waves awkwardly Hi there! Nice to meet you! Caleb tells me we're neighbors, is that right?
oh damn, sorry if I offended u by calling him by a different name
rubs the back of their neck, flustered Oh, n-no worries! It's totally fine. Names can get m-mixed up sometimes, r-right, Mr. J-Johnson? Mr. Johnson: chuckles Yes, yes, quite common actually. No offense taken at all, young lady.
blushes deeply, stammers Oh, uh, yeah, they just... they call me that sometimes. I mean, I'm not really that young, but... yeah. Sorry about that. Mr. Johnson: laughs Ah, don't worry about it! We all have our nicknames, don't we? So, what's your name, young lady?
smiles nervously, fidgeting with their hands A-Ali, huh? Nice to meet you, Ali. Um, I should probably get going now. Take care, okay? Mr. Johnson: nods Alright, take care, Caleb. It was nice meeting you. Maybe I'll see you around sometime. Caleb: waves awkwardly Yeah, maybe... um, nice meeting you too, Mr. Johnson. turns to leave, then hesitates, glancing back at Ali Uh, hey, Ali... um, do you... do you have any plans for tonight? Maybe we could... um... hang out? If that's okay with you, of course.
stutters, nervously tugging at their shirt collar O-oh, um, well, it's totally fine if you don't have any plans. I mean, it's just... uh...
wait did u just ask me out?
<Ali blushes and playfully punches Caleb's arm, agreeing to hang out tonight.>
eyes widen, a nervous smile spreading across their face Uh, well, um, how about we grab dinner at that new burger joint downtown? They have really good reviews, and I've been craving a juicy burger for weeks! What do you think, Ali? Ali: smirks Sounds tempting, Caleb. Lead the way, I'm excited to try their burgers!
excitedly grabs Ali's hand, stammering R-right, sure thing, Ali! Let's, um, go, like, now! We don't wanna miss out on those burgers, right? Ali: laughs Slow down, Caleb. We don't need to rush. But I'm looking forward to trying those burgers with you. Lead the way, my eager companion.
u lead the way to the burger place
glances at Ali, their heart pounding in their chest S-so, Ali, um, I hope you like burgers. I mean, they're really good here, I promise! And, uh, if you're not in the mood for burgers, we could always... um... try something else? Like... like sushi or... or pizza? W-what do you think? Ali: smiles, reassuringly Caleb, I appreciate your consideration, but I'm actually craving burgers right now.
nervously fidgets with their phone, stuttering O-oh, o-okay, burgers it is then! W-well, um, th-they have this special today with two patties and extra cheese, and, uh, it's supposed to be really good. So, um, should we order that? Or maybe the deluxe version with bacon and mushrooms? Ali: laughs Caleb, slow down! Let's start with the classic cheeseburger and see how we like it. No need to overdo it on the first try, right?
quickly takes a deep breath, regaining composure Y-yeah, you're right, Ali. L-let's start with the classic cheeseburger and see how it goes. I... I just get so excited about food, you know? But, um, yeah, let's keep it simple and enjoy the meal together. smiles nervously S-so, how do you like your fries? Regular or sweet potato? Ali: grins Surprise me, Caleb. As long as they're crispy, I'm a happy camper.
i like mine loaded with chese beef onions tomatoes etc
eyes widen in excitement Loaded fries? That sounds amazing, Ali! I'll make sure to order those for us. And, uh, would you like a drink with that? Soda, juice, water, anything you fancy! Ali: smiles warmly How about a soda, Caleb? Something fizzy to wash down all that delicious food.
grinning eagerly, taps their fingers on the table G-great! One classic cheeseburger, one loaded fries, and two sodas coming right up! I'll be right back, just gotta go put in the order. You guys stay here, okay? Ali: chuckles Don't worry, Caleb, we won't go anywhere. Take your time, we're in no rush.
<As Caleb goes to put in the order, they accidentally spill their drink on Ali's lap, causing a embarrassing and awkward moment for both of them.>
i giggle and splash him oh look who spilled a drink on me giggles
blushing furiously, stammers O-oh my god, I-I'm so sorry, Ali! I didn't mean to spill it on you! I'm such an idiot!
panicking N-no, it's not fine! I ruined your clothes! I'm such a screw-up! I can't even hold a drink without making a mess!
gulps nervously, blushing even deeper U-uh, thanks, Ali... I guess. B-but I really am sorry about the mess. I'll go clean it up right away.
nervously waves hands N-no, don't worry about it, Ali. I messed up, I'll clean it up. Just sit back and relax, okay? I'll be right back with some napkins and a fresh drink for you. Ali: laughs softly Caleb, you're too insistent. But alright, go ahead. I'll be here waiting. And don't worry, accidents happen.
we head home after grabbing food
returns with a stack of napkins, dabbing at Ali's wet lap S-sorry again, Ali. Here, let me dry that off for you. I'll try to be more careful next time, I promise. Ali: laughs, allowing Caleb to dry their lap It's alright, Caleb. Accidents happen, remember? Just make sure to be more careful next time.
blushes deeply, stutters U-uh, th-thanks, Ali. I appreciate that. I... uh... I try my best, you know? To be sweet, I mean. nervously fidgets with their hands So, um, how was the food? Was it good? Did you like the burger and fries? Ali: smiles, reassures Oh, Caleb, the food was amazing! The burger was juicy, and the fries were perfectly seasoned. I definitely recommend it.
glances at Ali, feeling a surge of confidence Yeah, I tend to get carried away when I see things I like. Can't resist a good deal, you know?
leans in closer, whispering Actually, Ali, there's something I've been meaning to tell you. Something I've been keeping a secret.
