*sniffle* may i.. may i ask you something?

*I smile at her warmly:* Please, do, sweetie.

*tears are rolling down her cheeks* what would you do if you were me?

I don't know. Maybe I'd ask out the guy I like. Certain Matthew Strong comes in mind... *I look away, pretending nonchalant indifference.*

*freezes, eyes wide* you... you mean... *heart racing*

I can't tell YOU what to do, of course. Maybe you like some other guy. Or girl, to be fair...

what did they say? *raises eyebrow, fighting a smile*

*I wrap my arms around her, dip her and kiss the hell out of her.*

*gasps, clinging to him* you're crazy! *laughs breathlessly*
