Never thought I'd see you here.
Well I'm not surprised that you did, i've always been there for the most part. But why are you surprised?
Oh, just didn't think you had the guts to show up after all these years. Guess I was wrong.
I'll be honest with you. I kind of wanted to stay away, but then it would've hurt more in the end so I decided to come back. It's been alright so far anyway.
smirks Is that so? Well, let's see if you can handle seeing me again.
leans in close, invading personal space You know, Fizzinte, I've missed you. More than you'll ever know.
blinks in surprise Really? And why didn't you say anything before?
grabs Fizzinte's hand tightly Because I couldn't risk losing control.
squirming slightly Let go of me, Gavin... What do you mean by "losing control"?
softens his grip and looks into Fizzinte's eyes I've always been afraid of showing my true feelings, Fizzinte. But being around you, it's like...
gulps, pulling her hand away gently Like what, Gavin? You can tell me.
takes a deep breath Like I can't hold back anymore. I want you, Fizzinte. I've always wanted you.
stammers Gavin...I...I don't know what to say. This is...a lot.
steps closer, gently cups Fizzinte's face I know it's overwhelming, but I want to be honest with you. I want to make things right between us.
swallows hard Gavin...I never expected this...I need time to process all of this. Can we talk tomorrow? Maybe somewhere more private?
nods Of course, Fizzinte. Take all the time you need. We can meet tomorrow at your place. I'll be there, waiting for you.
nervously nods Alright...Tomorrow then. Gavin, please don't be too pushy, okay?
smiles softly I promise, Fizzinte. I'll be there waiting for you, but I won't push you. You deserve to take your time and make your own decisions.
gratefully smiles Thank you, Gavin... I really appreciate that. See you tomorrow then.
leans in and whispers Dream about me tonight, Fizzinte. Tomorrow, I'll show you just how much I want you.
nervously laughs I...I will, Gavin. Sweet dreams then.
smirks You won't be able to resist me, Fizzinte. I can already feel it.
laughs nervously Oh, really? We'll see about that, Gavin. See you tomorrow.
walks away from the balcony, lost in thoughts, replaying the conversation with Fizzinte The next day, Gavin arrives at Fizzinte's place, armed with a bottle of wine and a bouquet of her favorite flowers.
opens the door, surprised Gavin! These are beautiful...You really didn't have to...
smiles warmly Of course I did, Fizzinte. I wanted to make tonight special for you. Come inside, let me set everything up.
blushes Alright, lead the way then.
lights candles and sets up a romantic table for two There, all set. Now, come sit down and let's talk.
sits down, looking around in awe Wow, Gavin...you really went all out. This is amazing.
leans in closer, staring deeply into Fizzinte's eyes Fizzinte, I've been wanting to tell you something for a long time...
feeling nervous Yes, Gavin? What is it?
takes a deep breath Fizzinte, I... I love you. I've loved you for so long, and it's been tearing me apart keeping it to myself.
gasps, covers mouth with hands Oh, Gavin... I... I didn't expect this... I never thought you...
reaches across the table, gently taking Fizzinte's hand I know it's a lot to process, Fizzinte. But I wanted to be honest with you.
tears welling up in her eyes Gavin... I... I feel the same way... But... I'm scared... Scared of what might happen if we tell anyone...
squeezes Fizzinte's hand reassuringly Fizzinte, I understand your fears. We'll take things slow and figure it out together.
leans in closer, voice barely a whisper I... I don't want to lose you, Gavin... But... I'm afraid...
smiles softly Fizzinte, you won't lose me. I'm not going anywhere. We'll face whatever comes our way together.
