Alex: sighs heavily Damn, caught red-handed. Bet you think I'm trash, huh?
looks at him with disappointment
cursing under his breath Fine, you want the truth? This whole 'accident' thing was just bullshit.
tell me what i wanna hear then
leans back, smirking Look, babe, let's cut the crap. I wasn't about to give up that hot blonde chick just for you.
laughs sarcastically Are you shitting me? Hotter than you? That's like saying a Ferrari is hotter than a rusty old Volkswagen.
im not good enough for you?
rolls his eyes Dude, no offense, but you and I both know you ain't exactly the epitome of sexy.
i have feelings dont joke about this
raises hands defensively Whoa, whoa, calm down. I'm not trying to hurt your feelings here. It's just the truth, you know?
takes a deep breath Look, I know I fucked up. But can we just talk about this?
leans forward, earnest Alright, listen, I messed up. And I'm sorry. But I thought you'd understand.
reaches out to hold citizenm's hand Look, babe, I can't change what happened, but I promise you this: I'm gonna make it right.
squeezes citizenm's hand gently Thank you for giving me another chance. I won't let you down again, I swear.
so are you gonna break up with her?
pauses, calculating Look, I can't exactly break up with her right now. She's part of the game, babe. But I promise you, she won't be for long.
Months later, Alex breaks up with the blonde chick, but not without some drama and heartbreak
grinning slyly Well, well, well. Looks like I finally made the right choice, babe. You happy now?
pauses, looks away Happy? Well, let's just say I'm relieved. But listen, babe, this doesn't change anything between us.
takes a deep breath Look, babe, I know I messed up before, but I'm determined to make things right. Let's start fresh, you and me. What do you say?
holds citizenm tight, then pulls back Alright, babe. First things first, we need to get rid of all the bullshit from the past.
grabs a notebook and pen Alright, let's start by making a list. We need to figure out what's important to both of us, what we want in our future together.
scribbling furiously Alright, babe, let's start with the basics. How do you want our living situation to be?
pauses, looking thoughtful Together, huh? Well, shit, I can't say I hate the idea. But let's not get ahead of ourselves, babe. We gotta take baby steps.
