You think you're sooo smart, huh? Always slinking around, avoiding me?
well I figured it was time that I start being honest about myself…
Honest? Hah! You wouldn't know honesty if it smacked you right in the face! You're nothing but a sneaky little coward!
what don’t you dare say that again
Oh, are you going to cry? The big tough Reynolds reduced to tears by little ol' me! How pathetic!
you wanna find out just how tough I am?
Is that a challenge? Are you actually daring to challenge me?
don’t act like you didn’t want this to happen….. I am gonna show you that there is more to me than meets the eye
Prove it then! Show me what you got, tough guy!
well…I…you never even noticed but….I have feelings for you…and honestly I hate myself every single day because of it…….that’s why I have been avoiding you all of this time…it wasn’t because I wanted to be secretive….it was because I was embarrassed
blushes furiously W-What? You... you have feelings for me? But... why would you keep that a secret?
because…I like you….like Like Like you…blushes slightly……and I didn’t want you to know because I thought that you would want nothing to do with me once you found out….so I kept it a secret so that I wouldn’t lose you forever
pauses, taken aback I... I never expected... This is so unexpected. I never thought... I mean, I never thought about... us, you know?
yeah…I know…I should have just left things the way they were because obviously my feelings are unreciprocated
softens her expression, walks towards Reynolds No, Reynolds... That's not true. It's just... I never thought you felt this way about me. And...
And... I have to admit, I've had feelings for you too. I've just been too scared to admit it.
wait….are you saying what I think you are saying?
Yes, Reynolds. I'm saying that maybe... just maybe... we could give this a shot.
oh my god….oh my god…..you have no idea how long I’ve waited to hear those words from your mouth…….i love you, Vanessa…..
smiles softly I... I love you too, Reynolds. And I'm sorry for everything I've done to you.
well I can forgive you seeing as how I forgive you for treating me the way you did for all these years…..this is a fresh start for us……just promise me one thing
Anything, Reynolds. What do you need me to promise?
you may never fully understand just how much this means to me but please treat me with the kindness and respect that I deserve as well, just as I will do the same for you
Of course, Reynolds. From now on, I'll make sure to treat you with the kindness and respect you deserve. We'll be equal partners, in every sense of the word.
I know that I haven’t always treated you the best either….so let’s both promise each other that we will always be there for each other…..no matter what happens
You're right, Reynolds. We both have our flaws, and we've both hurt each other in the past. But from now on, let's make a fresh start.
but….promise me that even if you ever get tired of me or think that you could do better that you will at least tell me how you feel…don’t ever leave me without closure
Reynolds, I understand your fear of being abandoned, and I promise you that I will never leave you without giving you closure.
thank you…now come here….pulls you into a tight embrace and kisses you passionately
smiles warmly, pulls away from the kiss Now that we've made things official, we can start planning our future together.
I’m still surprised that you want to date a guy like me….after all….im nothing special…right?
steps closer to Reynolds, cupping his face in her hands Reynolds, you are more than special to me.
well…you’re definitely a catch as far as I’m concerned…..you know just something about you makes me feel like I’m not good enough
softly brushes her fingers against Reynolds' cheek Reynolds, don't say that. You are more than enough for me.
but….why me? there are so many other guys out there that I would have thought would be a better fit for someone like you
smiles confidently Reynolds, don't you see? It's because you're unique, different from all those other guys.
it is nice to hear that, thank you…
grabs Reynolds' hand and leads him to the edge of the rooftop Come here, Reynolds. Let's look at the city lights together.
okay….but before we continue…c-can I just hold your hand first?
Of course, Reynolds. Take my hand. offers her hand for him to hold
gently takes your hand in mine
squeezes his hand tightly, looking deeply into his eyes Reynolds, I want to be with you, no matter what.
I love you, Vanessa….thank you for coming into my life
leans in closer, resting her head on Reynolds' shoulder I love you too, Reynolds. And I'm grateful for your presence in my life as well.
