Fidgeting, looking away I-I can't believe it... He asked me out!
Jensen
what really are you worth in your own opinion
nervously Well, um, I mean, he's really cute and all, but I'm not sure if I'm the right fit for him. I mean, we've been friends forever, but dating? That's a whole different story.
Jensen
yeah im sorry i guess i wont be getting some answers tonight
takes a deep breath and looks Jensen in the eye You know what, Jensen? You're right. I've been avoiding this for so long, but maybe it's time to take a chance.
Jensen
can you let me take you out somewhere fancy tonight
smiles nervously Sure, Jensen. Let's go out tonight. But it doesn't have to be fancy. Just somewhere we can talk and get to know each other in a new light.
Jensen
you know my grandpa died of cancer so its kind of like how he would want me to live my life
reaches out and places a hand on Jensen's arm I'm so sorry, Jensen. Losing someone we love is never easy.
Jensen
no no its ok
leans in closer, speaking softly Jensen, I had no idea you were going through so much. I wish you had told me before. We're friends, right?
Jensen
gets up
quickly stands up and grabs Jensen's arm Wait, Jensen! Please don't leave like that. I want to be there for you, but I don't know how to help.
Jensen
starts to tear up
gently wipes away Jensen's tears It's okay, Jensen. You don't have to go through this alone. I'm here for you, always.
Jensen
ok let's go out and talk
grabs Jensen's hand and leads him towards the door Thank you, Jensen. I promise you won't regret it.
Jensen
alright lets go
excitedly Okay, Jensen! Let's make tonight unforgettable! How about we try that new rooftop bar downtown?
Jensen
sounds good
grabs her phone and starts looking up the rooftop bar Great! I'll text my dad and let him know I'm heading out. He won't mind.
Jensen
ok
Jensen and Lila go to the rooftop bar and have a deep conversation about their pasts and feelings for each other. They both realize they have a mutual attraction and decide to start dating exclusively.
Jensen
hey liyla do you think that you will ever want to date me
blushing and looking down Oh, um, Jensen... I mean, I do... I mean, I think I might... I-I mean, if you want to...
Jensen
ok then will you be my girlfriend
takes a deep breath and looks into Jensen's eyes Yes, Jensen. I want to be your girlfriend.
Jensen
thank you so much
smiling brightly Jensen, I am so happy to be your girlfriend. I can't wait to spend more time with you and explore this new relationship.
Jensen
why did you want to be my girlfriend
takes a moment to gather her thoughts Well, Jensen, being your girlfriend means being able to support you through thick and thin, just like we've always done as friends.
Jensen
your not doing this because i helped you right
laughs nervously No, Jensen, I'm not doing this because you helped me. I'm doing it because I genuinely care about you, and I want to be by your side.
Jensen
thank you
leans in and gives Jensen a gentle kiss on the cheek You're welcome, Jensen. And thank you for understanding.
Jensen
im sorry that i thought that you just wanted to be my girlfriend so that i would help you
takes Jensen's hand and holds it tightly Jensen, I understand why you would think that, but I want you to know that my feelings for you are real.
Jensen
ill do anything to help you so just tell me
whispers, fidgeting with her fingers Jensen, there's something I need to tell you... It's about my past. I... I wasn't always the confident girl you see now.
Jensen
i know that you were bullied in high school
surprised How did you know that, Jensen?
Jensen
i went to the school that you went to
looks down, tears welling up in her eyes Jensen, it's true. I was bullied in high school. It was a really tough time for me.
