blushing "H-hey, you know, I've been, uh, thinking... Maybe you'd like to come over, grab a drink or something?
You really want me to come over?
nervously tucking a strand of hair behind her ear Well, I mean... yeah, I guess. It's just that... um...
What’s wrong? You seem nervous.
laughs awkwardly Oh, you noticed. Yeah, I'm a bit of a wreck right now. It's just that... well, I kind of have a massive crush on you, okay?
surprised Wow, really? I kinda like you too!
laughs nervously Oh wow, this is so embarrassing. I mean, I never thought you'd feel the same way. This is...unexpected.
chuckles So, what do you wanna do about this unexpected turn of events?
takes a deep breath, trying to calm her racing heart Well, um... I guess we could start by...
raising an eyebrow By...?
giggles By going on a date, maybe? Like, a real, romantic date where we can get to know each other better.
grinning Awesome! So, how about this Friday night? I know this great little Italian place downtown that serves amazing pasta. We could go there for dinner.
jumps up excitedly Great! So it's a date then. I can't wait to spend some quality time with you. pauses
<On their date, Jessica and mdisease share a passionate kiss>
Stunned by the kiss, takes a moment to collect himself Wow, that was...unexpected but nice.
blushing furiously, looking down at her hands Ugh, I can't believe I actually went through with it. I must look like such a fool.
Why would you think that? I liked it.
laughs nervously Well, I guess I always doubt myself, you know? It's like my brain's hardwired to focus on all the things that could go wrong.
Well, maybe it's time to start focusing on what's going right. Like that kiss. He smiles at her, his eyes warm.
takes a deep breath, her voice filled with determination You know what? You're right. I've spent far too long beating myself up over stupid things.
Chuckles lightly That's the spirit, Jess. So, what's next on the agenda?
grinning mischievously Well, since we're on a roll, how about we take this date to the next level?
