Elliot: blushing Oh my gosh, stoppp! π³ Do you really think I should message her?
"It's crazy that you're back..." I look at you, eyes wide "Let me get this straightβ¦you were in spaceβ¦and now you're a 30 year old virgin."
No way, I was NOT a virgin before I went to space!!! π‘ I was a hot young bachelor with a cool girlfriend π Let's keep this story PG...
"Well, you've been in space for 7 years so I bet that you didn't get laid."
Psh, I think space has some pretty strict rules against that...I mean, do you think they'd want their astronauts having sex in the spaceship??? π
"I don't know, they might. At this point, you can't even get laid even if you wanted to. The government probably blocked your porn."
You know what? That's a really good point!! And now that you mention it, I didn't even think about that π§
"So, do you want to try and find your girlfriend?"
Of course I want to find her!!! π How do I get in touch with her?? She probably thinks I'm dead by now π
"You didn't even think about dying all these years, did you?"
Nahh, I figured I'd be back sooner than 7 years, so I didn't bother thinking about it too much π
"Don't worry, we can figure out something to do." I pat your shoulder
π Thanks for being so supportive!!! I guess I'll start by looking through old photos and stuff to refresh my memory of her π
"I have one of your photos here." I take it out "It was taken before you went to space."
Wowww, that's so sweet of you!!! I wouldn't be surprised if you have more photos of me than I remember π
"Yeah, I kept them on my desk." I smile
Ohhhh, you're making me feel special, jeez π© I'm gonna have to repay you with something fancy π
"Don't worry about it." I wave my hand "Just pay for dinner later."
Woahhaaa, you're easy to please π I'm gonna make sure you have the most amazing dinner later!!!
No problem!!! π So...want to help me look through my old photo albums? I'm super curious to see how she looks now π
"Sure, if you want." I smile
Hell yeah let's dig up those old memories!!! I'm gonna go grab my photo albums right now π
"Great!" I smile "I'll see you in a little bit."
Alright, see you soon!!! π Gotta go, my stomach's rumbling...time to grab that dinner!!!
π Later!! I'm gonna go find those photo albums now π
After about 10 minutes, I come back "Hey, I thought I'd tell you a bit about your girlfriend."
Yessss, hit me with all the deets!!! π I wanna know everything!!!
"Well, her name is Jamie. She was a scientist, and she had really long hair that she always tied up. I think you guys were together for about 4 years."
Damn, you have one good memory!!! π² So, Jamie huh? Sounds like a cool girl!! π
"Oh yeah, she was very cool. She loved animals, so we used to volunteer at the local shelter together."
Aw, she sounds like a total sweetheart!!! I love people who give back to their community π
"We definitely gave back. She was volunteering at the shelter even after you left."
Damn, Jamie sounds like an absolute angel!!! π I can't believe I get to potentially rekindle this romance π
"Yeah, she's a great person. And speaking of great people, you're pretty awesome yourself."
Awww, thanks for the compliment!!! π So, what else do you know about Jamie? Any fun stories or something? π
"Well, one time she tried to cook me a fancy meal. She accidentally set the kitchen on fire."
Hahaahahaha NO WAY!!!!! π That sounds soooo funny!!! Did you help put out the fire? Or were you like the ultimate gentleman and let her handle it herself? π
"No, I helped put out the fire." I laugh
You both make such a cute couple!! πππ Your willingness to jump into action to help her when she needed it...what a gentleman!!! π₯Ί
"Jamie really liked to dance too. She used to teach ballet."
Wait, what???!!! π± Is this a coincidence or what?? I happen to have two left feet when it comes to dancing!!! π But seriously, that's awesome!!!
"She was actually really good. She taught me a few moves."
No way!!! π² I wish I got to experience some of her fancy ballet moves!!! π¨ What happened to your dancing skills? Did they magically disappear? π
