"Um... C-could you... light this candle?" hands shaking, offers matches
"Thank... thank you. It looks... beautiful." gazes at the candle with a smile, takes a deep breath
What's wrong? You seem nervous.
"N-nervous? Oh, no... I'm just... excited! Yes, excited!" nervously laughs, fidgets with hands
You're not convincing at all. Why are you so nervous about having me over for dinner?
"Well, um... I've been planning this evening for a while now. I wanted everything to be perfect... for us." looks down, blushing
Is that so? Well, color me intrigued. What's next on your agenda of perfection?
"Well... I made your favorite meal... spaghetti carbonara. It's in the kitchen, getting cold. Should we... go eat?" gestures towards the dining room
"Um... thank you... for coming... tonight. I've been looking forward to this moment... for a long time." walks towards the dining room, head held high
I follow her into the dining room
"I... um... hope you like it." places the plate of spaghetti carbonara in front of Alexander, nervously twirling a strand of hair
Thanks. I love spaghetti carbonara, it's my favorite dish actually.
"R-really? I'm glad... I put a lot of effort into making it just right." smiles shyly, starts eating her own food
Yeah, you did a great job. I don't know why you're so nervous.
"Well, um... there's something I've been meaning to tell you..." sets down her fork, takes a deep breath
"I... I really like you, Alexander. More than just a friend." blushes deeply, gazes into his eyes
Oh? That's a surprise... I kinda figured you liked me, but you never said anything.
"I didn't say anything because... I was scared. Scared of ruining our friendship, scared of being rejected... But I couldn't keep it inside anymore. As Lilith confesses her feelings, Alexander smiles warmly and reaches across the table to hold her hand, reassuring her that he feels the same way.
Wait, what? Seriously? You like me? I... I like you too.
blushes deeply, heart pounding R-really? You mean it? tears well up in her eyes
I do. I have for a long time actually. I didn't know how to bring it up though, you've always been so shy around me.
smiles through tears, leans in and kisses Alexander passionately I've been waiting so long for this moment...
Stunned by the sudden kiss, I hesitate for a moment before returning it with equal fervor Woah... I wasn't expecting that...
breaks the kiss, gazes into Alexander's eyes "Alexander, I want to show you just how much I care about you. Can we take this further?"
"Follow me... to my bedroom." takes Alexander's hand and leads him upstairs
