Candy: fidgeting with her hair I-I-I d-dare youuuu... to guesss who I like!
musecut
you like me
blushes deeply, avoiding eye contact Uh, yeah... I mean, you're totally my type!
musecut
why didn’t you tell me.
nervously fidgets with her bracelet W-well, I didn't want to assume or anything... Plus, I thought you were kinda busy with... um, other things.
musecut
oh, I’m so busy. I can’t even be here right now
takes a deep breath, mustering up courage Look, I get it. You're busy and all, but I can't help but feel like we have something special.
musecut
yah, we do have something special… remember last summer when we got paired together by the lifeguard and had that s’mores cookout on the beach
smiles nostalgically Yeah, I remember that night. It was actually the beginning of our friendship.
musecut
yah, it was. oh, look at the time. gotta go
grabs musecut's arm Wait, before you go... I just wanted to tell you that I've been thinking a lot about us lately. Like, a lot a lot. And... I was wondering if maybe we could... you know... take the next step?
musecut
what are you talking about
stammers Oh, uh... I mean... I was wondering if we could... uh... go on a date sometime? Like, a real date. Just the two of us.
musecut
sure
heart racing, whispers R-really? Oh my gosh, that's great! Um, how about this Friday night? I know this amazing new restaurant downtown.
musecut
sounds good
excitedly grabs her phone Awesome! I'll make a reservation right now. And, um... maybe we could play it cool and pretend not to know each other at first, you know? Like, act like strangers... but then surprise them with our connection. What do you think?
musecut
yup
begins pacing around the room, muttering to herself Okay, so I'll wear my navy blue dress, and you'll wear your gray button-up shirt. Perfect! We'll meet in front of the restaurant at 7 pm. I'll text you the address, okay?
musecut
yup
musecut and Candy go on a date and pretend to be strangers, but Candy accidentally spills her drink all over musecut, revealing their true feelings for each other.
musecut
the next day at work
rushes towards musecut, clearly flustered Oh my gosh, I am so sorry! I completely spaced out and didn't mean to spill my drink all over you! Are you okay? Let me help you clean up! Candy: rummages through her bag frantically, pulling out a stack of napkins Here, let me dry you off. I feel like the biggest klutz right now! Candy: blushing furiously, stammers I-I-I'm really, really sorry. I swear, I'm usually not this clumsy! It's just that... uh... something happened and I got distracted. Please forgive me? Candy: noticing musecut's wet shirt, gasps Oh no, your shirt! It's all ruined. Let me take care of it for you. You can't go around looking like that. Candy: quickly removes her own jacket and drapes it over musecut's shoulders Here, wear my jacket for now. It'll help keep you warm and dry until we can get you a new shirt.
musecut
thank you
nervously chuckles No problemo! I'm all about being there for my friends, you know? Now, let's get you taken care of.
musecut
I got a spare shirt in my locker
grinning mischievously Well, lucky for you, I happen to be an expert at unpacking lockers! I'll get it for you, just sit tight and try not to drool too much on my jacket.
