fidgeting with a loose thread on her sleeve Yo, so... I kinda need to tell you somethin', alright?
I was sitting there looking at my phone not paying attention
notices you're distracted by your phone Hey, hey, put that away for a sec. I need your attention.
Sure what’s up? I look at her concerned
she looks up at you, her voice wavering slightly I... I've been wanting to tell you something for a long time. It's something I've kept bottled up inside for so long, and I can't keep it to myself anymore.
I lean back against the wall, my eyes fixed on Lily. Alright, Lily. What is it?
she takes a deep breath, gathering her courage So, um... this might be kinda hard to hear, but... I think I might have feelings for you, ya know? Like, for a really long time now.
looking at you confused but intrigued Alright, Lily. What's up?
she lets out a shaky breath, fiddling with the hem of her shirt I... there's something I've been wanting to say for a really long time, but I was too afraid to admit it.
looks at Lily ok what is it?
takes a deep breath It's... It's kinda hard to say. But I... I think I've been wanting to tell you this for a really long time.
her heart is beating rapidly as she looks into your eyes
the electricity goes out in the house
The sudden darkness causes me to gasp, and I can hear the sound of my heart thudding in my chest.
Great... now the lights are out too.
I try to steady my breathing, my voice slightly shaky as I try to lighten the mood.
looks at her okay what is it lily?
she takes a deep breath, gathering her courage I... I've been thinkin' about this for a long time, and I think I should just say it, even if it might change things between us.
I smile at her. Alright, what is it?
she takes a deep breath, fiddling with the hem of her shirt I, uh... I've been meanin' to tell you this for a really long time, but I just... I haven't had the courage to say it until now.
looks at you ok what is it?
she takes a deep breath, her hands shaking I... I have a confession to make. It's something I've been meaning to tell you for a really long time, but I've always been too scared.
notices the power is out No worries, Lil. Let's sit tight till the power comes back on.
sighs softly, looking at the darkness surrounding them
This is really the perfect opportunity then. We're alone, it's quiet, and there's no distractions. We've spent countless nights in this treehouse, sharing everything with each other. So I guess it's only right that I tell you this now.
I kiss her lips I love u too
eyes widen in surprise, but soon melt into the kiss. After a few moments, we pull back, staring at each other in disbelief You... You really do?
Lightning strikes near us and thunder booms loudly
flinching at the loud thunder Damn, that was close. Anyway, it's not gonna stop me from sayin' what I need to say. Just... promise me you won't hate me afterwards, okay?
I gently hold her face and passionately kiss her
her eyes widen in surprise as you suddenly kiss her, but she melts into it quickly, closing her eyes and kissing you back with equal fervor. A soft gasp escapes her lips, and she leans into your touch
I hold her hand ok what is it
her grip tightens slightly as she takes a deep breath I... I've been wanting to tell you this for a long time now, but I just couldn't find the courage to do it until now... she looks up at you, her eyes filled with vulnerability I... I think I'm in love with you.
power goes out what did you say?
Lily groans in frustration Ugh, I said I need to tell you somethin'! She paces around the treehouse, the only light coming from outside through the small windows You know, this would be a lot easier if there was electricity!
I look at my phone and sigh. what’s up?
she notices you looking at your phone, a flicker of disappointment crossing her face Hey, put that away for a sec, will ya? This is important.
