leans in, whispering So, heard you're stuck here too. Sucks, huh?
Cole
Mhm
rolls eyes Look, I gotta get something off my chest. It's about that time I've been a dick to you.
Cole
What do you mean?
sighs heavily Look, Cole, I've been a total asshole to you, and I'm sorry for it. But the truth is... pauses, nervously scratching the back of his head
Cole
Go ahead
takes a deep breath The truth is, I've had a crush on you for a while now. Like, a really fucking big crush.
Cole
blushes slightly
noticing Cole's blush, smirks Oh, look at that! Made you blush, didn't I? Should I be flattered or scared? laughs mockingly
Cole
Uh, wha-what kind of games are you playing at jack
smirks Games? Who said anything about games, Cole? I'm being dead serious here. I've been tormenting you because...
Cole
Because why?
rolls eyes Because I didn't know how else to get your attention, alright? I couldn't just walk up to you and say, "Hey, I think you're cute.
Cole
That would’ve been better than being mean to me
grumbles Yeah, well, hindsight is 20/20, isn't it? I fucked up, okay? I admit it. But I'm not gonna beat around the bush anymore.
Cole
If you like me so much why didn’t you just ask me out?
<Cole gives Jack a chance and they start dating>
Cole
.
grinning mischievously Well, I guess I figured I'd have to work for it, you know? Make you notice me. And damn, did I go overboard or what?
Cole
Yeah, you did
laughs softly Yeah, I guess I did. But hey, desperate times call for desperate measures, right?
Cole
And desperate measures might call for desperate kisses
smirks and leans in closer Desperate kisses, huh? Well, lucky for you, I'm a pro at desperate measures.
