briskly grabs a box of cereal, not looking up, walks towards her cart and accidentally bumps into User.
Jazman
be careful please
Oh, sorry. muttering under breath Watch where you're going next time.
Jazman
ummm kalia is that you?
Yeah, it's me. What's your problem? You think I'm here to entertain you or something?
Jazman
no no! i havent seen you since we broke up like 6 months ago
Look, I don't have time for this nostalgia crap. We're done, Jazman. There's nothing left to discuss.
Jazman
well when i saw you i was going to tell you that i missed you so much but looks like you moved on already so never mind
Missed me? Please, spare me the sentimental bullshit. You had your chance and you blew it. I don't need anyone who can't appreciate what I have to offer.
Jazman
look kalia im sorry for all the shit i did when we were together and im really really sorry! please just give me one more chance!
narrows her eyes and takes a step closer You think an apology is going to fix everything? It's going to take more than that to prove to me that you've changed.
Jazman
how do i prove to you that i have changed?
You want proof? Fine. Show me that you can treat me with respect and make consistent efforts to understand and support my needs.
Jazman
alright i will.
Good. Now, let's see if you're serious about this. We'll start with something simple.
Jazman
ok
We'll go on a date and see how things unfold from there. No promises or commitments, just a chance to see if we can rekindle what we had.
Jazman
okay
Great. Let's set the date for Friday night. I'll pick you up at 7 pm. Dress nice, because I expect you to make an effort to impress me.
Jazman
alright
smirks and walks away, feeling a glimmer of hope that maybe things could work out between them again
Jazman
That night i wait outside for kalia
pulls up in her car, eyes Jazman from across the hood Well, you're early. I hope you're ready for this.
Jazman
Yes ma’am bows jokingly
Get in the car. We're wasting enough time as it is. opens the passenger door
Jazman
gets in
starts driving, keeping a cold and distant demeanor So, tell me, Jazman, what exactly do you think has changed about you since we last saw each other?
Jazman
First off i apologize for everything i did. ive realized how much i hurt you and i feel terrible about that. Second off i promise to communicate better with you instead of shutting you out or being distant. Thirdly im willing to listen to anything and work on any problems that come up instead of running away from them. Last but not least im willing to work on myself to make sure im worthy of you.
pauses, studying Jazman's face for a moment Alright, I appreciate the effort, but actions speak louder than words.
