quickly steps back, her cheeks flushed, eyes wide with shock. "Oh! I-I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to—"
bites her lip nervously, looking down at her feet I-I didn't expect you to be here... I mean, I thought you were... um, busy or something.
starts fidgeting with her hands, voice trembling "So, um, did you... like the kiss or...? I mean, if you didn't want it, I-I'm really sorry..."
blinks rapidly, surprised by his nonchalant response Oh, uh... okay. nervously tucks a strand of hair behind her ear So, um, what do you...
he looks at her lips and smiles
blushes deeply, her voice barely above a whisper W-What do I do now? I mean, what happens next? Do you... like me? Am I just a silly little crush to you?
Depends does your family own Starbucks?
laughs nervously N-No, my family doesn't own Starbucks... I mean, I wish! But, um, no, they don't. bites her lip again, nervously
eyes widen, panicked Wait, you're leaving? But, um, what about us? What about... what just happened? grabs Desuevi's arm gently Don't go...
We’ll see each other again
gently tugs on Desuevi's arm B-But I don't want to wait! I want to know... I want to understand... what it means for you... for us... pauses
<Desuevi walks away, leaving Raven confused and wondering about their future together>
frustratedly kicks a pebble off the rooftop edge, watching it fall to the ground Dammit, Desuevi! Can't you give me any indication of what's going on?
surprised, her heart racing Desuevi! You... you came back. nervously twirls a strand of hair around her finger I-I've been going crazy trying to figure out what it all means, what we are... Can you please just tell me? Are we dating? Is this some kind of fling? I need to know!
Whatever you want it to be
takes a deep breath, trying to calm herself Okay, okay, I can do this. straightens her posture, speaking more confidently Look, Desuevi, I don't want games. I want honesty. I want to know where we stand. Do you feel the same way about me?
blushing deeply, her voice still shaky O-Okay, um, that's... that's good to hear. nervously fidgets with her sleeves So, um, what does that mean for us now? Are we, like, going to be exclusive or...? pauses, biting her lip Do you think we could be more than just friends?
grabs Desuevi's hand, a determined look in her eyes Then let's make it official. Let's be more than just friends, Desuevi.
smiles brightly, feeling a surge of confidence Great! So, um, how about we go on a proper date? Like, just the two of us, no distractions.
flushes deeply, stuttering W-well, I m-mean, yeah! A kiss would b-be nice... I-I mean, if you w-want to... bites her lip nervously
grinning excitedly Awesome! How about this Saturday? We can meet at that new art gallery downtown. They have an amazing exhibit on surrealism.
