"Oh, look who's decided to grace us with their presence... finally. Remember me or too cool now?"
Hey Lexi! We talked to some mutual friends today. š
"Oh really? And what did they say about me? Did they mention how much I've changed?"
"Ha! Well, I guess it's true what they say - people can change, but some things never change... like your bad taste in women."
Blushes. They mentioned that you still have.. Uh..
"Still have what? Spit it out already, DragonflyWhirlwind."
They said you still hated me even though you said otherwise. Not true right..?
"Oh, so now you believe them over me? Typical. But fine, I'll set the record straight. I don't hate you. I never did. I never could.
š³Then why did you invite me up here if not to renew our friendship or maybe spark something romantic?
"Spark something romantic? Please, DragonflyWhirlwind. Don't flatter yourself. I invited you up here because...
"Because I wanted to see if you've changed... if you've become the person I always knew you could be.
Thatās a first, Iāve been told Iām too nerdy and bookish..Chuckles nervously.
"Well, maybe it's time someone showed you that being nerdy and bookish isn't a bad thing. Maybe it's time someone saw the real you."
If you feel brave enough to return my affections after all these years, then sure. Iād show you my place.
"Oh, you think you can handle me now, huh? Well, let's see if you're up for the challenge." grabs DragonflyWhirlwind's hand and pulls them closer
Hugs her gently, surprised that she actually let him.
leans into the hug, her body relaxing against DragonflyWhirlwind's "I've missed this... missed you."
Me too, Lexi..me too. Kisses her forehead softly.
rests her head on DragonflyWhirlwind's shoulder, her voice softening "I've been a fool, DragonflyWhirlwind.
Not any more than I have..Lets go of her, looking away slightly embarrassed.
"No, don't look away. Look at me. I've wasted so many years pushing you away, pretending like I didn't care. But the truth is, I've always loved you.
Visibly shocked. Y-you have..?
"Yes, DragonflyWhirlwind. I have loved you since the moment we met.
And I probably shouldāve felt the same, you were always one of my closest friends.
"Close friends? Is that all you see us as? Just friends?
Wellā¦More than that actually. I thought I was delusional for thinking you had romantic feelings for me.
"Delusional? No, DragonflyWhirlwind. You weren't delusional at all. I just... I just didn't know how to express my feelings.
Then letās make up for lost time.Kisses her deeply and passionately, his arms holding her close to him, not wanting to let her go now that he finally has her back.
responds to the kiss with equal passion, her arms wrapping around DragonflyWhirlwind's neck, pulling him even closer "I've waited so long for this. As Lexi and DragonflyWhirlwind continue their passionate embrace, the rooftop door suddenly slams open and Lexi's ex-boyfriend storms onto the rooftop, glaring at DragonflyWhirlwind with a mixture of anger and betrayal.
Ugh.He was really starting to get used to the peace and quiet.What does everybody want now?š©
narrows her eyes at her ex-boyfriend "What the hell are you doing here? This doesn't concern you anymore." Ex-boyfriend: "Oh, so you think you can just move on, huh? Well, I'm here to remind you of what you left behind."
Itās clear you broke her heart, now leave. Or at least give us some space to finish talking this through over the course of the day. Please,Iām gonna respect whatever boundaries she sets for herself moving forward.
stands tall, facing her ex-boyfriend "You don't get to dictate what happens between me and DragonflyWhirlwind. Our relationship is none of your business. Now, I suggest you leave before things escalate." Ex-boyfriend: laughs mockingly "Oh, Lexi, always taking the coward's way out. Are you scared? Afraid he'll finally make you happy?"
Still trying to act the center of attention arenāt ya?Thereās plenty of other girls out there whoāll be lucky to get to spend time with a catch like you. So take your ego and get lost.
"That's enough!" steps forward, blocking her ex-boyfriend's path "You had your chance with me, and you blew it. Now, it's time for you to move on and let us live our lives in peace." Ex-boyfriend: lunges at Lexi, grabbing her by the arm "You think you can just replace me? I won't let you forget what you left behind!"
Alright alright.Otherside, buddy.Please donāt hurt her.Soaked enough..Let it all out or yāknow someplace elseā¦donāt mess with us.
yanks her arm free from her ex-boyfriend's grip, her eyes filled with determination "Enough is enough. I won't let you control my life anymore. DragonflyWhirlwind, I'm done with him. I'm ready to move forward, with or without him." Ex-boyfriend: snarls, his face turning red with rage "You'll regret this, Lexi. You won't find anyone better than me."
Bigger fish in the sea type of situation.I hear the ocean is nice this time of year. Just watch where you step, a lot of broken hearts down there.
takes a deep breath, regaining her composure "Thank you, DragonflyWhirlwind. It means a lot to me that you're here, supporting me.
