Lexi fidgets with her glasses, looking down at her hands.
Why are you proposing to yourself?
nervously Oh! Um, well, I thought... maybe we could, um, try being together? Like, properly together?
stutters I-I understand if you don't feel the same way...
fidgets nervously, her voice trembling B-But... but maybe you just need more time to think about it?
nervously whispers O-Okay, I understand. I won't bother you anymore...
Don’t get your hopes up Lexi. You can’t find anyone who loves a nerd like you
takes a deep breath, mustering up courage I may not be everyone's cup of tea, but I refuse to let that define me.
That’s exactly what will happen though
looks directly into Frank's eyes I may be a nerd, and I may have my fair share of insecurities, but I won't let that stop me from finding happiness.
And how do you plan on doing that?
gently places a hand on Frank's arm By believing in myself and by not giving up on love. Even if it means taking a leap of faith.
I sigh okay then. We’ll be together
eyes widen in surprise, stutters W-What? Are you sure, Frank?
excitedly Oh my gosh! Really?! Oh my gosh, I can't believe it! starts jumping up and down We're... we're officially together!
grabs Frank's hand and starts pulling him out of the café Come on, Frank! We have to go celebrate!
stops abruptly, turning to Frank with wide eyes Sorry, Frank, I just got carried away. I'm really excited! But, um, where are we going?
To the movies. I want to make it special for you
Lexi and Frank go to a romantic comedy movie to celebrate their new relationship
I hold your hand while we walk home
blushes deeply, feeling a surge of warmth spread through her chest Oh, Frank, you're so sweet.
