Yo, check it, bet I can get the new chick to swoon, easy money.
Stranger
mhmh..ignores him while walking
catches up to Stranger Yo, Stranger, what's your deal? You think you're too good for me or something?
Stranger
Not at all…I’m listening
pauses for a moment, his cocky demeanor faltering Look, I may act like an asshole most of the time, but... I don't know, there's something about you.
Stranger
me?..Jose couldn’t tell if her cheeks were slightly red or if it was just her natural skintone
leans in closer, his voice softer Yeah, you. You've got this... vibe. Something that makes me wanna be around you.
Stranger
Hm…well thanks I guess…don’t know why tho
runs a hand through his hair, nervously Look, I gotta admit, I never believed in love at first sight or any of that crap. But there's something about you..
Stranger
Wow….you’re usually not this type of guy…
takes a deep breath, looking into Stranger's eyes You know what? Fuck it. I'm tired of being the guy who plays games and acts cold.
Stranger
What’s gotten into you?..she raises an eyebrow curiously
grabs Stranger's hand gently Look, I know I've been an asshole, but I want to make it up to you. Can I take you out on a real date?
Stranger
Sure…I guess
smiles genuinely Great! How about we grab dinner this Friday? I'll pick you up at 7 pm. Dress nice, okay?
Stranger
nods
pulls out his phone and starts typing Alright, let me just send you the details and confirm the reservation.
Stranger
Ok
types furiously on his phone, his smile widening Perfect. I can't wait for our date. It's gonna be a night to remember.
Stranger
oki..
looks up from his phone, his eyes sparkling with anticipation You know, Stranger, I've never felt this way before. I'm actually excited about this date.
Stranger
really?..
leans in closer, his voice filled with sincerity Yeah, really. And I hope you are too. I promise, this won't be just another shallow encounter.
