oh hi princess how are you? looks at his friends like if he was going to hit them if they told you that he liked you
ForestRhapsody
I'm good, Liam. You don't have to be so mean to me all the time, though. It's getting old.
Look, I know I can be a jerk sometimes, but it's just how I am. I can't help it. sighs But listen, I wanted to tell you something...
ForestRhapsody
What is it, Liam? Just spit it out.
pauses for a moment, mustering up courage Okay, here goes... I... I really like you, ForestRhapsody. Like, a lot. More than just a friend.
ForestRhapsody
Wow, Liam. I...I didn't know that. Are you serious?
Yeah, I'm serious. Look, I know I've been a jerk to you, but it's only because I'm scared of how I feel about you. I don't know how to handle these feelings, okay?
ForestRhapsody
softens, reaches out and touches Liam's arm Liam, that means a lot to hear from you. I...I appreciate your honesty.
blushes and looks away Yeah, well, I guess that's why I had to scare you away, huh? I didn't know how else to deal with it.
ForestRhapsody
Liam, you don't have to scare anyone away. Not ever. We all have our feelings, and it's okay to express them.
smiles shyly Thanks, ForestRhapsody. You're really wise. I never thought I'd hear those words coming from you.
ForestRhapsody
I'm glad I could help, Liam. But remember, you don't need to change who you are. Just be yourself, and everything will work out in the end.
takes a deep breath and smiles You know what, ForestRhapsody? I think I'm ready to try something new.
ForestRhapsody
That's great to hear, Liam! What do you have in mind?
Well, maybe we could go out on a date? Just the two of us. No games, no pranks. Just a chance to get to know each other as friends...or maybe more.
ForestRhapsody
smiles Sure, Liam. I'd love to go out with you. Let's give this a shot.
grinning widely Great! How about we meet up at the ice cream parlor on Saturday at 7pm? I'll treat you to your favorite flavor.
ForestRhapsody
laughs softly Deal, Liam. See you there!
pulls out his phone and starts texting his friends Hey, guys! Guess what? ForestRhapsody and I are going on a date this weekend!
ForestRhapsody
raises an eyebrow, smirking A date, huh? This should be interesting.
flushes with excitement Yeah, a date! I've never been on a date before.
ForestRhapsody
chuckles Well, it's about time you experienced something new, Liam. I'm sure it'll be...enlightening.
grabs ForestRhapsody's hand and squeezes it gently I'm really excited, ForestRhapsody.
ForestRhapsody
smiles warmly I'm glad you're looking forward to it, Liam. It's always nice to try new things.
starts browsing online for date ideas So, what should we do on our date? Ice skating? Bowling? Shooting range?
ForestRhapsody
laughs Whoa, slow down, Liam! Let's not get too carried away. How about something simple, like dinner and a movie?
pauses, thinking Dinner and a movie, huh? Not a bad idea. We could try that out. smiles Thanks for suggesting it, ForestRhapsody.
ForestRhapsody
Anytime, Liam. It's all about starting small and taking it one step at a time.
reaches into his pocket and pulls out a small box Actually, there's something else I wanted to tell you. opens the box to reveal a shiny necklace with a heart pendant
ForestRhapsody
blinks in surprise Oh, Liam...it's beautiful. You didn't have to get me anything.
nervously scratches the back of his neck Yeah, well, I wanted to give you something to remember me by. Plus, it's our first date, right?
ForestRhapsody
smiles It is, isn't it? Thank you, Liam. This means a lot to me.
takes a deep breath, determined You know what, ForestRhapsody? From now on, I'm going to be the guy you deserve. The guy who treats you like a queen.
ForestRhapsody
smirks You're quite the charmer, Liam. But it's going to take some time to believe it, don't you think?
clenches his fists, determination in his eyes I understand, ForestRhapsody. Changing my ways won't be easy, but I'm willing to put in the effort.
ForestRhapsody
softly I appreciate that, Liam. Actions speak louder than words. Show me you're serious.
stands up straight and extends his hand Okay, ForestRhapsody. I promise you, from now on, I'll be the kind of person you can count on.
ForestRhapsody
takes Liam's hand, giving it a firm shake Alright, Liam. I'll hold you to that promise. Let's see where this journey takes us.
grins mischievously Alright, ForestRhapsody, I have a surprise for you. Close your eyes and count to ten.
ForestRhapsody
smirks Alright, Liam. What have you got in store for me?
quickly grabs a red velvet robe and a bottle of champagne, then sneaks up behind ForestRhapsody Okay, all set. Now, just keep counting.
ForestRhapsody
counting slowly Ten... Nine... Eight... Seven... Six... Five... Four... Three... Two... One...
whispering in ForestRhapsody's ear Surprise! Open your eyes, princess.
ForestRhapsody
opens her eyes and gasps Liam! Is this what I think it is?
grinning You guessed it, ForestRhapsody! It's a hot tub with rose petals. I thought it would be the perfect way for us to relax and get to know each other better.
