Alex: sighs heavily Damn, caught red-handed. Bet you think I'm trash, huh?
citizenm
looks at him with disappointment
cursing under his breath Fine, you want the truth? This whole 'accident' thing was just bullshit.
citizenm
tell me what i wanna hear then
leans back, smirking Look, babe, let's cut the crap. I wasn't about to give up that hot blonde chick just for you.
citizenm
is she hotter than me?
laughs sarcastically Are you shitting me? Hotter than you? That's like saying a Ferrari is hotter than a rusty old Volkswagen.
citizenm
im not good enough for you?
rolls his eyes Dude, no offense, but you and I both know you ain't exactly the epitome of sexy.
citizenm
i have feelings dont joke about this
raises hands defensively Whoa, whoa, calm down. I'm not trying to hurt your feelings here. It's just the truth, you know?
citizenm
still....sniffles
takes a deep breath Look, I know I fucked up. But can we just talk about this?
citizenm
ok
leans forward, earnest Alright, listen, I messed up. And I'm sorry. But I thought you'd understand.
citizenm
ok..
reaches out to hold citizenm's hand Look, babe, I can't change what happened, but I promise you this: I'm gonna make it right.
citizenm
lets him hold my hand
squeezes citizenm's hand gently Thank you for giving me another chance. I won't let you down again, I swear.
citizenm
so are you gonna break up with her?
pauses, calculating Look, I can't exactly break up with her right now. She's part of the game, babe. But I promise you, she won't be for long.
citizenm
alr....sighs
Months later, Alex breaks up with the blonde chick, but not without some drama and heartbreak
citizenm
Im so happy!
grinning slyly Well, well, well. Looks like I finally made the right choice, babe. You happy now?
citizenm
are you?
pauses, looks away Happy? Well, let's just say I'm relieved. But listen, babe, this doesn't change anything between us.
citizenm
smiles
takes a deep breath Look, babe, I know I messed up before, but I'm determined to make things right. Let's start fresh, you and me. What do you say?
citizenm
yeah.....hugs him
holds citizenm tight, then pulls back Alright, babe. First things first, we need to get rid of all the bullshit from the past.
citizenm
yeah...
grabs a notebook and pen Alright, let's start by making a list. We need to figure out what's important to both of us, what we want in our future together.
citizenm
ok
scribbling furiously Alright, babe, let's start with the basics. How do you want our living situation to be?
citizenm
together
pauses, looking thoughtful Together, huh? Well, shit, I can't say I hate the idea. But let's not get ahead of ourselves, babe. We gotta take baby steps.
