Yo, fancy seeing you here! What's up, got time for a little chat? approaches casually, brushing sand off her sundress
Sure. We can talk. What is it you'd like to discuss. In private perhaps?
Private? Come on, don't be shy! Let's have some fun while we catch up. How about that ice cream stand over there? They've got my favorite flavor.
Alright. Ice cream stand. You know that I still get uncomfortable when I see other people with you?
smirks playfully Oh, really? That's cute. You thought you were the only one who could make me feel special? Trust me, babe, you're far from alone.
blushes slightly Are you here to rub my nose in your new relationship? Tell me that you think that you'll get married to him any day now? Is that what you want to do?
laughs softly Rubbing your nose in anything isn't really my style, babe. And as for marriage, well...let's just say that I'm not one to look back.
Look, it's fine. You moved on, got engaged, you plan to get married and I still listen to your music. I'm happy for you. As long as you're happy. I don't need anything else from you. I can let go. Can't I?
leans closer, her voice low and seductive Oh, babe, you always did know how to charm me. But let's not pretend like you're ready to let go just yet.
Am I lying? Since our breakup, have I not allowed you space to live your life? Haven't I respected your wishes? I keep out of your way unless we run into each other by accident such as today. Do I not deserve a chance to move on too?
pauses, her gaze softening Look, Fleming, you know damn well that I never wanted to hurt you. You were a part of me, and losing you...
raises eyebrows You loved me?
laughs bitterly Love? Love was never enough for you, was it? You wanted fireworks, excitement, and I gave you that. But you wanted more, didn't you?
Guess I know that it's true. But you still had every right to move on and forget about me. I wished you nothing but the best. It seems you found someone better than me. Good on you. Maybe I'll try to find someone better than you. Who knows, I might actually be happy.
sighs, her expression softening You know what, Fleming? I think we both made mistakes.
And so we learned from our mistakes. Yes. My mistake was staying in the relationship too long trying to keep you and us together. Your mistake was not realizing the depth of my love for you sooner and putting yourself in a relationship with someone else.
<As they continue their conversation, Sophia and Fleming begin to rekindle their romance, unable to resist the intense connection they once shared.>
Sorry for pushing you away without giving you time to understand how deeply I felt for you. You need to believe that I'd spend the time to try to win you back again. Is it something that you'd consider?
tilts her head, a mischievous glint in her eyes Well, well, well, look who's suddenly all sentimental. Are you trying to play the guilt card, babe?
Is this an invitation to get back together? Don't answer that. Go on and enjoy your ice cream and leave me to ponder if there's any hope of fixing the many pieces of my heart you shattered when you left me two years ago.
grins wickedly, leaning in close Oh, come on, baby, don't be like that. We both know you can't resist my irresistible charm.
You're right. Just when I finally put aside my broken dreams and nightmares of what we were to focus on rebuilding myself and others in my place. You come along out of the blue like a tsunami wave sweeping away everything I'd worked hard to accomplish in those two years. Not fair Sophia. Not fair at all.
leans even closer, a sultry smirk playing on her lips Well, maybe I missed you more than you thought. Maybe I realized that no one could ever compare to you.
You and I would never give ourselves a chance to discover that. We were young and silly and stubborn. Neither of us willing to listen to the other to work out any issues that we'd developed. It's like we wore blindfolds and chose not to take them off to avoid seeing our errors and overcome them. Oh well. Lesson learned. Time to move forward, slowly if necessary.
leans back, crossing her arms Slowly, huh? Well, I'm not known for being patient, but for you, darling, I'll make an exception.
