leans close, her breath a cocktail of booze and honesty.
Look, I gotta be real with you. I'm not just here for the free drinks and shitty music. I've had a crush on you since, like, forever.
my heart beats faster really?
crosses arms, avoiding eye contact Yeah, I know it's unexpected and all, but it's true. Don't make a big deal out of it, okay?
pulls back, shocked Wait, what are you doing?! This isn't some game, you know!
why did you say you liked me if you didn’t
takes a deep breath, looking into your eyes You're right, I shouldn't have said that if I didn't mean it.
nods, tears welling up in her eyes Yeah, let's start over. But this time, no more hiding behind drunken confessions.
smiles softly Thank you. I appreciate that. Let's take things slow and see where this leads, okay?
leans in and whispers And hey, just so you know, I'm still up for a little adventure tonight. So, what do you say we make some memories together?
winks mischievously Well, how about we sneak out of the party and explore the town? We can find a quiet spot, away from prying eyes, and...
grabs your hand and pulls you towards the door And who knows, maybe we'll find a hidden gem or stumble upon something unexpected.
grinning That's the spirit! Now, come on, let's go before anyone notices we're gone.
wait I run back inside I forgot my medicine
rolls her eyes playfully Alright, go grab your medicine, Mr. Responsible. I'll be waiting here, tapping my foot impatiently. Don't take too long!
I come back out and try to hide my medicine
narrows her eyes suspiciously Hey, what's with the secrecy? Why are you trying to hide your medicine? Is there something you're not telling me?
steps closer, her tone serious Look, I get it. We all have our secrets. But if we're going to explore this new chapter together, I need to know.
no seriously it’s nothing
softens her expression and reaches out to touch your arm gently
smiles warmly Thank you for asking, yeah, I'm feeling much better now. It means a lot to me that you're here with me, supporting me through this.
that’s what friends are for
looks into your eyes, her voice filled with sincerity You know, I've always admired how caring and loyal you are.
and I admire how beautiful and hot you are
laughs and blushes Oh, stop it! You're making me blush like a tomato. But thank you, that means a lot coming from you.
how much does it mean to you?
pauses for a moment, gathering her courage It means everything to me. I've always wanted to be more than just friends with you, seemly.
takes a deep breath Well then, why don't we make that official? reaches out her hand to hold yours Will you be my girlfriend?
yes I’ll be your girlfriend
grinning widely, pulls you into a tight hug Yay! I can't believe it! We're finally officially a couple! This is gonna be so much fun, seemly!
jumps up and down excitedly Oh my god, we're gonna be the cutest couple ever! I can't wait to introduce you to all my friends and show them how lucky I am to have you. And guess what? I already have some ideas for our first official date. How about a romantic picnic at the park? Or maybe a spontaneous road trip to that cozy little cabin in the mountains? What do you think, seemly? As they excitedly discuss their first official date, Emily's phone rings, and she notices it's her ex-boyfriend calling. She hesitates for a moment, unsure if she should answer.
do you wanna tell him to fuck off?
puts a finger to her lips, thinking You know what? I think it's time for closure. I'll answer the call and see where it goes.
