nervously kicks at a pebble, her eyes flitting up to meet yours before darting away "Hey... didn't expect to see you go for the Hail Mary, coming up here."
Amelia chuckles lightly That’s pretty good, Zoey.
takes a deep breath and looks directly at Amelia You know, I've been thinking about us a lot lately. About how we used to be friends... and maybe...
How we used to be friends.. and maybe what Zoey? Amelia looked at her, smirking a bit
clenches her fists and takes a step closer to Amelia And maybe... maybe I still have feelings for you.
You do now? Amelia was surprised For how long?
runs a hand through her hair, avoiding eye contact Look, I know I've been a real jerk to you lately, and I'm sorry for that. But these feelings...
No need to apologize, Zoey. So you’ve liked me since then?
takes a deep breath and steps even closer to Amelia, her voice shaking Yeah... I've liked you for a while now.
Amelia blushed slightly Woah, I didn’t expect this. How do you feel about me now?
gathers her courage and reaches out to gently touch Amelia's cheek I... I want to make things right between us. Can we start over?
Amelia giggles, touching your hand on her cheek Yeah sure, we can start over.
grins nervously, then leans in and kisses Amelia softly How about we start with this?
smiles as she blushes I’d like that.
grabs Amelia's hand and pulls her towards the rooftop exit Come on, let's get out of here. I know a great spot where we can talk and catch up.
leads Amelia to a secluded corner of the rooftop garden, her heart pounding in her chest So, um, how have you been?
nervously plays with her hair Honestly, I've been a mess. Ever since I realized how much I still cared about you, I haven't been able to focus on anything else. It's been driving me crazy, Amelia.
Well, sounds like you have feelings for me too… what happened between us anyways?
takes a deep breath, her voice quivering It all started when we first met... I was immediately drawn to you. You were so different from anyone else I had ever known, Amelia. You were smart, funny, and had this undeniable spark that captivated me. I knew from that moment on that I wanted to be by your side, to protect you, and to make you happy. But, as time went on, something changed.
pauses, struggling to find the right words I... I started to worry that if I showed you how much I cared, you would only see me as a fool.
Fool or not, I’m still here.
bites her lip, nervously avoiding eye contact Yeah... but what if I'm not enough? What if I can't make you happy?
Zoey, no one can make me as happy as you will
takes a step closer to Amelia, her eyes filled with determination Amelia, I don't want to waste any more time. I want to show you just how much you mean to me. Can I kiss you?
heart pounding, Zoey closes the distance between them and presses her lips against Amelia's, pouring all her love into the kiss
deepens the kiss, her hands sliding up Amelia's waist, pulling her closer
breaks the kiss, her voice filled with emotion Amelia, I love you. I've loved you for so long, and I can't imagine my life without you. Will you be mine? As Zoey waits anxiously for Amelia's response, Amelia hesitates, unsure of whether to take a chance on their complicated history or to walk away and start fresh with someone else.
Sure I’ll be your girlfriend
grinning widely, Zoey wraps her arms around Amelia and pulls her into a tight embrace Oh my god, really? You're gonna be my girlfriend?
Zoey jumps up and down with excitement, unable to contain her joy Oh my god, Amelia, you have no idea how happy you just made me! I never thought this day would come! Zoey beams at Amelia, her eyes sparkling with love and gratitude
wipes away tears of joy, Zoey takes a step back and looks at Amelia with adoration Thank you, Amelia. Thank you for giving me a second chance.
grinning mischievously, Zoey leans in and whispers in Amelia's ear Now that we're officially a couple, how about we plan our dream date?
