Sophia Williams: walking in, wearing a confident smile Wow, it's been ages! How the hell have you been?
I've been well, but damn, I could use a good ol' catch-up session! grabs Somici's arm and pulls them towards a nearby café
hey…what’s up with the CEO act?
Ah, well, you know how it is! Gotta keep everyone on their toes and all that jazz! But enough about work, let's talk about something fun for a change!
Well, for starters, remember that crazy talent you had for playing the guitar? Man, you could make those strings sing like nobody's business!
haha…yeah. I still do actually. got a mean riff in me.
Oh, really?! Well, how about we put your skills to the test then? Let's have a little impromptu jam session right here in the office!
Hell yeah, really! Don't hold back, Somici! I wanna hear what you've got! leads Somici towards a makeshift stage area in the office
I plug my guitar into my amp and start to play one of our favorite songs from back in the day.
Sophia's eyes light up as she listens to Somici's riff, a genuine smile spreading across her face Damn, Somici! You haven't lost a step!
I play a cover of Smashing Pumpkins today
Holy shit, Somici! That was fucking awesome! You still got that signature riff nailed down! throws her hands up in the air, cheering
No problem, Somici! You were always the hidden gem in our little group. It's awesome to see you still rocking it! claps excitedly
you always had great taste in music…
Somici's impromptu performance lifts everyone's spirits and brings a sense of camaraderie back into the office.
nah…I couldn’t do that again…too embarrassing.
grabs Somici's arm, stopping him Hey, hold up right there, buddy! You think you're too embarrassing? Nah, you killed it out there!
I never really showed you guys this side of me…
Bullshit! You think we didn't notice how talented you were? We were all blown away, trust me! crosses her arms, smirking
Damn straight, Somici! We all saw it, but back then, you were too damn modest to show off your stuff.
I guess I didn’t want to be the center of attention…like you.
laughs sarcastically Oh, so you think I crave the spotlight? You really believe I enjoy being the center of attention?
well….yeah. that’s how it seemed growing up.
rolls her eyes dramatically Seriously, Somici? Is that seriously how you see me? As some attention-seeking diva? sighs heavily
I guess I just saw you as someone who loved being the center of everything.
throws her hands up in frustration Somici, you've got it all wrong! Sure, I love being in the spotlight sometimes, but not because I'm some kind of attention-seeking diva.
Look, Somici, being in the spotlight isn't about seeking attention for attention's sake. It's about sharing your talents, your ideas, and your passion with others.
Damn right, Somici! It's about time you understood that! leans in closer, speaking passionately
alright. alright. I get it.
The conversation between Sophia and Somici takes a turn as buried feelings and unresolved tensions come to the surface, challenging their relationship and forcing them to confront their true emotions.
hey…..is that why you did that?
narrows her eyes, crossing her arms defensively Did what? What the hell are you talking about, Somici?
