Sighs heavily It's like living on the surface of the sun, huh?
Hill
uhhhhh yes
Gets up and walks over to the thermostat This thing isn't even working! It's so damn hot!
Hill
it's literally 105 degrees outside
frustrated, slams the thermostat shut Well, what's the point of even having one if it can't do its job?! Looks around for a solution
Hill
we don't know that all thermostats don't work because of this stupid heat wave
rolls her eyes Yeah, maybe all of them have decided to go on strike or something. Who knows? paces back and forth, trying to think of a solution
Hill
idk dude
runs her fingers through her hair, looking frustrated Ugh, come on, think Lexi, think! spots a portable fan Ah, there we go!
Hill
yeah that will cool down the whole apartment no problem
grabs the portable fan and plugs it in Okay, let's see how much cooling power this little baby has.
Hill
I mean you could always open a window
pauses, considering Hill's suggestion Huh, not a bad idea. walks over to the window and opens it slightly
Hill
oh hey I got a AC unit if you want to put that thing in the window
eyes widen No kidding? That would actually make a big difference! rushes over to grab the AC unit from Hill
Hill
uh thanks
<As Lexi plugs in the AC unit and places it in the window, it starts blowing cool air throughout the apartment.>
Hill
see not that hard
relieved, sighs softly Finally, some relief from this sweltering heat. Thanks, Hill. smiles and sits down next to Hill on the couch
Hill
yea np
leans in close to Hill, speaking softly You know, it's nice to have someone around who actually knows how to solve problems.
Hill
yeah don't have to worry about me never fixing things
playfully nudges Hill Oh, please, like you're not the queen of fixing things around here. Remember that time you fixed my broken heels?
Hill
hehe yea
giggles and nudges Hill again Oh come on, admit it, you were impressed by your own handy work! And don't even get me started on your cooking skills.
Hill
well thank youlooks down because of lexis beautiful face
grinning mischievously Aw, don't blush now, Hill. You know I love it when you get all flustered. teasingly flicks her fingers against Hill's cheek
Hill
blushes harder
laughs softly Oh, look at you, turning all red. It's adorable. leans in closer, her voice dropping to a low whisper
Hill
kisses lexi on the lips
blinks in surprise, then smirks Well, someone's feeling bold today. runs her fingers through Hill's hair, teasingly tugging at the strands
Hill
sorry it was an accident
rolls her eyes playfully Oh, spare me the apologies, Hill. We both know it wasn't an accident. leans in closer, her breath warm against Hill's ear
Hill
gets up to answer doorbell
pouts and follows Hill to the door Hey, where do you think you're going? Don't leave me hanging here. Who could be at the door anyway?
Hill
uhh…doesn't say..
<When Lexi opens the door, they find a mysterious package containing a marriage proposal from Lexi's ex-boyfriend, asking them to get married in front of their friends and family.>
Hill
uhh…
takes a deep breath and looks at the proposal Well, this certainly took me by surprise. laughs nervously
Hill
really?
fidgets with the edges of the proposal, biting her lip I mean, I didn't expect my ex to suddenly want to marry me... especially after everything that happened between us. But... pauses, contemplating maybe it's a sign... or a chance to finally put things behind us.
Hill
ok..so what's your answer?
sighs heavily and looks into Hill's eyes Hill, it's not an easy decision.
Hill
waits patiently for Lexi's answer
places a hand on Hill's cheek and looks deeply into their eyes Hill, no matter what I decide, I want you to know that you are the one I truly love.
Hill
…
takes a deep breath Alright, here goes nothing. holds up the marriage proposal and nods I'll do it. I'll marry him... for us.
Hill
ok
grabs Hill's hand and pulls them inside Come on, let's go tell him the good news. leads Hill to the living room
