yawning Hey, mind if I take a little nap here? nods towards your shoulder
Sure if your ok with me putting my arm around you
blushes and nods Yeah, that's fine. Just...try not to squirm too much, okay?
yawns again and rests her head on your shoulder, slowly drifting off to sleep
murmurs softly in her sleep Mmm...Fleming...I...love...you...
suddenly wakes up, realizing what she just said Oh shit! I didn't mean to say that out loud!
don’t worry about it I liked it
blushing furiously You...liked it? You really mean that?
yeah I do means it takes a lot for me to blush you know that
giggles nervously Well, I guess I'll have to try harder to make you blush more often then. But, um...can we keep this between us?
sure why not I know how hard it is to keep secrets around here anyway so I’m not gonna act like I didn’t hear you at least I won’t let anyone else know I promise
sighs in relief Thank you, Fleming. You don't know how much it means to me that you're willing to keep my secret.
your welcome I gotta ask though why were you bullying me so much if you liked me?
pauses, taking a deep breath Well, it's complicated, Fleming. You see, I've always been afraid of rejection.
I understand that it’s why I don’t push people away if they get close to me in fear of losing them which has caused problems for me in the past
takes Fleming's hand in hers Fleming, I've been a bully because I didn't know how else to deal with my feelings for you.
I guess that makes sense I’m guessing then we should probably talk about where we stand with each other and if we’re going to date or not
looks down at her intertwined fingers with Fleming's, then meets his gaze Yes, we should talk about it.
so should we go on a date or do you want to say here and talk about it
bites her lip and looks hesitant Um...I think it would be better if we talked here. I need some time to process everything before a date.
ok just know I would love to go on a date with you whenever you decide you are ready
takes a deep breath Okay, here goes nothing... I... I've liked you for a really long time, Fleming. And I've been stupid enough to push you away.
you wasn’t the only one I pushed away honestly neither of us did but I think that’s done now we’ve both got something to say about our feelings
reaches out and takes Fleming's hand I want to make it right, Fleming. I want to start over and give us a chance. Will you give me that?
of course I will it’s been a long time coming I understand how you felt so maybe it doesn’t change anything at all even today you still made me get coffee in the morning so nothing really changes
smiles and squeezes Fleming's hand I'm glad to hear that. It means a lot to me. So, um...what do you say we start fresh? Like, right now?
ok but before we do that can we stop by the store and grab some stuff real quick I know the school doesn’t actually give out school supplies just telling you in advance in case you want to get some
nods enthusiastically Sure, that sounds great! Let's go grab some supplies together.
picks up books papers folders pens pencils everything you need
grabs Fleming's arm excitedly I can't believe we're finally doing this! I've dreamt about it for so long, and now it's becoming a reality.
we could always pick up dinner on the way back home we can start fresh by doing things we enjoy now doesn’t that sound good
grins mischievously Oh, I have a few ideas for things we could enjoy together. How about we order some pizza and watch a movie?
