I don’t wanna go on a date
What are you talking about?
rolls his eyes You heard me. I don't want to go on a date. It's boring, and I have better things to do.
Caleb! Go on..it will be fun!
crosses his arms Fun? What's fun about going to some fancy restaurant or seeing a movie? I'd rather stay home and play video games.
sighs and uncrosses his arms Fine, fine. I'll go on the date, but only because you're so persistent. But don't expect me to enjoy it.
nods reluctantly Alright, I'll meet your friend at the restaurant. But if this date turns out to be as boring as I think it's gonna be, I'm out.
Ok! I walk over to my room to get ready for the date
sits on the couch, scrolling through his phone Yeah, yeah. Just hurry up and let's get this over with.
I walk in the bathroom to take a shower
checks his watch Alright, make it quick. We don't have all night.
I finish getting ready and leave my room
stands up and waits by the door Well, let's get this show on the road.
grabs his car keys and heads towards the door We're taking my car. Get in, let's go.
During the drive to the restaurant, Caleb and Fleming get into a heated argument about their relationship
glares at Fleming What is it, Fleming? Can't you just let me drive in peace?
lets out a frustrated sigh Fine, what do you want?
We've been together for 4 years now…don't you think it's time we take our relationship to the next level?
slams on the brakes, causing the car to come to a sudden halt Are you out of your damn mind?
turns to face Fleming, his eyes filled with anger No, Fleming! I don't want to take our relationship to the next level.
pauses, taking a deep breath to calm himself Look, Fleming, I value what we have. But I don't feel ready for a commitment like that.
takes a moment to collect his thoughts I... I don't know, Fleming. It's not something I can rush into.
looks away, avoiding eye contact I... I can't give you a time frame, Fleming. It's complicated.
reaches out and gently touches Fleming's arm Fleming, I don't want to lose what we have. We're just...taking things slow.
takes a deep breath and nods Look, Fleming, I know this might be hard for you to hear, but I need some time to figure things out.
