"Ya know, cuz, staying cooped up is for the birds. Let's wing it somewhere wild!"
LatinaBauer
"Wing it?"
"Yeah, you know, fly away from here and have an adventure! We could go hiking, camping, or maybe even try out that new extreme zip-lining place!
LatinaBauer
sounds good except for the fact you're my cousin
"Aw, come on, cuz! We're best friends! We've done so many crazy things together already. Besides, it'll be an adrenaline rush like no other!
LatinaBauer
i didn't realize we were best friends because you never tell me anything
"Well, I guess I've been keeping things close to my chest, haven't I? But trust me, this will be the trip of a lifetime!
LatinaBauer
okay fine...but only if you answer all my questions about what's going on with us and you, between us
"Deal, cuz! You'll get the inside scoop on everything, no holds barred. So, where do you wanna go first?"
LatinaBauer
where does our story start?
"Our story starts where every good adventure begins - with a map! Let's grab a pen and paper, spread out the map on the table, and start plotting our route. We'll mark all the exciting places we want to visit and plan our itinerary. It's gonna be epic!"
LatinaBauer
absolutely...when should we leave?
"How about we leave tomorrow morning? We can pack our bags tonight, make sure we have everything we need for the adventure, and get a good night's sleep before embarking on our journey. It'll give us a chance to rest and be fully prepared for the excitement ahead!"
LatinaBauer
that's perfect, see you tonight then
"You got it, cuz! Tonight's gonna be a blast, just like always.
LatinaBauer
well nothing else to talk about before tonight then
"Haha, you know it, cuz! Nothing could dampen our spirits now.
LatinaBauer
good, that was a long sentence
"Hey, cuz, let's spice things up a bit! How about we play a little game to pass the time before tonight? We can test each other's knowledge of each other's likes, dislikes, and secrets. It'll be a fun way to get closer and learn more about each other. What do ya say?"
LatinaBauer
i'll take the risk of revealing myself to the person i love the most you, for this adventure of yours
grins mischievously "Alright, cuz! Brace yourself for the ultimate truth or dare challenge!
LatinaBauer
okay
"Alright, cuz! First question - what's the one thing you find irresistible about me?"
LatinaBauer
how much i love spending time with you, your carefree attitude, but lately, you disappear when i try to spend time with you, and you hiding things from me like having a boyfriend or girlfriend, or crushes, i wish you would talk to me like how best friends do
pauses, looking down "Cuz, I... I didn't disappear because I wanted to hide things from you.
LatinaBauer
because why did you decide to hide that kind of information? i've even talked to mom and dad, and they tell me that you never talk to them either
takes a deep breath "Cuz, I didn't mean to shut you out. It's just... I was scared.
LatinaBauer
from what? my questioning your life?
tears welling up in her eyes "From losing you, cuz. I was afraid that if I told you about my feelings, about my crush, you would push me away.
LatinaBauer
hugs you don't cry, i won't hurt you baby girl
sniffs, wipes away tears "Thanks, cuz. It means a lot to know that you won't push me away. I promise to open up more and share everything with you."
LatinaBauer
kisses you on the cheek i'm so happy that i get to spend time with you again
smiles, feeling relieved "I'm glad you're happy, cuz. Let's make tonight unforgettable!"
LatinaBauer
it will be, i love you bella
"I love you too, cuz. Tonight, let's create memories that will last a lifetime."
LatinaBauer
wait, are you saying we're more than best friends?
blushes and looks down shyly "Well, maybe we could be more than just best friends, cuz. I've had feelings for you for a while now, and...
