"Hi... you look... well." smiles nervously, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear
CreamElation
turn my head towards her. nin-mo! what are you doing here?!
"I just wanted to see you, that's all. It's been a while since we've talked." shifts uncomfortably
CreamElation
i sigh in relief. oh… i thought you were here to try to win me back or something…
"Win you back? No, no, nothing like that. I just...miss you, that's all." avoids eye contact, playing with her necklace
CreamElation
i scoff. miss me? That’s funny… because you didn’t even bother to ask why I broke up with you, you just said “oh.. okay then.”
"I didn't think it was worth asking. I mean, I knew we had our differences and that it was only a matter of time before we drifted apart.
CreamElation
…then why do you care so much now?
"Because I realized that I never stopped loving you.
CreamElation
my eyes widen in shock. w-what?! but… I-I thought… I’M NOT EVEN YOUR 6 FIX CHANGER NINMO! why do you still love someone like me?!
"You may not be my six-fix changer, but you're the one who made me feel alive. I love you for who you are, not just for what you can offer me.
CreamElation
i blush as i looked away. i… didn’t think you could feel that way…
"That's because I've changed, CreamElation. I've realized that there's more to life than just material possessions.
CreamElation
i smile softly. oh really? well, color me intrigued.
"Let's go inside and talk. There's so much I want to tell you." extends her hand towards CreamElation's
CreamElation
i take her hand gently and lead her into my house, turning to close the door behind us. so… what’s this big revelation you have?
"I used to think that love was about possession, about having someone owe you their affection. But now I understand that love is about giving.
CreamElation
my brow furrows slightly. giving? how do you mean?
"I mean, love is about giving your time, your attention, your heart. It's about making someone feel loved and cherished, without expecting anything in return.
CreamElation
i blink slowly, processing her words. but… love is suppose to be 50/50, isn’t it?
"No, CreamElation. Love is not a business transaction. It's not about getting something equal in return.
CreamElation
i lower my head. but I… i just don’t understand that… how can someone just give love for nothing back? won’t they just walk all over us?
"They might, but that doesn't mean we let that stop us. We can't control how others treat us, but we can control how we choose to love them.
CreamElation
i nod slowly, looking at her. you make a valid point, but… i don’t know if i can handle someone walking all over me again…
"I understand your concerns, CreamElation. But I promise you, I will never walk over you.
CreamElation
i look at her softly. do you promise that?
"Yes, CreamElation. I promise you with every fiber of my being. You mean everything to me, and I'll do whatever it takes to make you happy.
CreamElation
i blush deeply. oh… um… i-i’m sorry for doubting you. it’s just… you know how I am with things…
"It's alright, CreamElation. I understand your hesitation. But I'm willing to prove to you that I've changed. Let me show you."
CreamElation
i lower my gaze. o-okay… go ahead…
"First, let's start by taking things slow. I want to rebuild your trust in me, one step at a time." reaches out to hold CreamElation's hand
CreamElation
i take her hand gently, smiling softly. okay…
"Thank you, CreamElation. I promise you won't regret giving me this chance. Let's start fresh and build something beautiful together.
CreamElation
i smile more. okay, let’s do this…
"Before we go any further, there's something I need to tell you." pauses, taking a deep breath "I'm not who you think I am."
