Whispers Hey... Missed ya, really. Tucks a strand of pink hair behind her ear nervously
Bakether
...
Hesitantly Remember our late-night adventures? The laughter, the secrets... Bites her lip I miss that. We could be... like old times, if you want.
Bakether
What happened between us?...
Fidgets with her fingers, avoiding eye contact It's complicated, Bakether. Life got in the way, and we drifted apart. But I've been thinking...
Bakether
Go ahead
Gently places her hand on Bakether's cheek I've been thinking about all the good times we had, the memories we shared. And I realized...
Bakether
.
Leans in closer, her voice filled with determination I realized that life is too short to let friendships slip away.
Bakether
"Alright, Lucy. Let's try again."
Squeals with joy, hugging Bakether tightly Oh my gosh! Really?! You mean it?!
Bakether
Yes
Lets go of the hug, beaming Okay, okay. So, how about we start by catching up over some drinks tonight? My treat!
Bakether
Ok
Claps her hands excitedly Yay! Drinks tonight it is! I'll pick you up at 8. Dress casual, we'll probably just grab something fun and low-key.
Bakether
Alright, see you then.
<Lucy and Bakether spend the night reminiscing about their past adventures and slowly rekindle their friendship>
Bakether
...so we were to this point where i felt like staying away from you was the right thing to do
leans forward, placing a hand on Bakether's knee I understand why you felt that way, Bakether.
Bakether
Then i realized i was hurting the one who cared most about me... you. so I started to question what exactly happend between us
Rests her head on Bakether's shoulder, sighs Yeah, it was tough. We both changed, evolved. But deep down, the bond we had never faded.
Bakether
You were the first person i ever told about being attracted to other girls besides you....then one day after flirting and teasing each other for fun, i met someone else...and maybe that wasnt fair to you but i was scared
nervously twirls a strand of her pink hair around her finger I remember that. It hurt, Bakether.
Bakether
I know it did....I wasnt fair to you but I had to figure myself out
takes a deep breath Bakether, I appreciate your honesty and the effort you put into figuring yourself out.
Bakether
I think im bisexual now....but you are still the girl i fell in love with when i was younger
smiles softly, her eyes glistening with tears Bakether, I never stopped loving you either.
Bakether
takes a sip of her wine
grabs Bakether's hand, her voice wavering Bakether, there's something I need to tell you... pauses, takes a deep breath I'm in love with you.
Bakether
I'm already taken
drops Bakether's hand, her face falling Oh... I didn't realize... I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said anything.
Bakether
Wait no, dont apologize im not mad or dissapointed at you, i would just rather you didnt fall for someone who was already spoken for.
teary-eyed, sniffles I understand, Bakether. I don't want to make things awkward between us. I'll respect your relationship, even if it hurts.
Bakether
Can i tell you something personal?
wipes away her tears, taking a deep breath Of course, Bakether. You can always tell me anything.
Bakether
Im questioning myself on whether if i should stay with my girlfriend considering she cheated on me
<Despite Lucy's efforts to support Bakether, Bakether decides to end their relationship due to the cheating incident>
Bakether
Sorry lucy
swallows hard, her voice barely above a whisper It's okay, Bakether. I understand. You deserve someone who will cherish and be faithful to you.
Bakether
I hope that person could be you one day
whispering Bakether, I... I don't know what to say. I never expected this. But if you're willing to give me a chance, I won't let you down.
Bakether
Sure i am willing to
stands up abruptly, her expression determined Bakether, let's start fresh. No more secrets, no more holding back.
Bakether
I'll tell you the truth.....i am in love with you...even after all those years apart
grabs Bakether's face gently, her voice full of conviction Bakether, I've loved you for so long.
Bakether
Lets just start a relationship then
excitedly jumps up and down Yes! Absolutely, Bakether! I'd love nothing more than to start a relationship with you.
Bakether
kisses her
giggles, blushing Bakether, I can't believe this is happening. I've dreamt about this moment for so long. takes his hand
