Love Confessions
Your Message
James
Hey... so, I've been meaning to say something.
James
I don't know how to start this without sounding awkward, but... I think you're amazing.
(Alex blushes through the screen)
Lily
That's really sweet of you to say. But... why tell me now?
James
Because I've been thinking about it for weeks. Every time we talk, I feel like I'm holding back something important. And if I don't say it now, I might never say it.
Lily
And what exactly are you saying?
James
That I like you. More than just a friend.
James
More than just late-night conversations and inside jokes.
James
I think about you when we're not talking, and I catch myself smiling at random moments because of something you said.
(Alex feels her heart starts racing)
Lily
I... I don't know what to say.
James
You don't have to say anything right away. I just need you to know.
Lily
But what if I feel the same?
James
Then maybe... we figure out what this could be?
Lily
I'd like that. A lot.
James
So... should we stop talking in texts and maybe meet up for real?
Lily
That sounds like the perfect next step.
Playground Promises
James
Remember when we used to race to the swings after school?
Lily
Oh, you mean when you'd cheaty and start running before I even counted to ten?
James
I didn't cheat, I just had superior speed.
Lily
Whatever you say, fast guy. You were always so competitive.
James
It wasn't about winning, it was about being first. You know, for the bragging rights.
Lily
Yeah, right. You just didn't like losing.
James
Maybe I didn't want to lose you.
Lily
Lose me? What do you mean?
James
Well, I mean, I always wanted to be first in line for everything, especially when it came to you.
James
I guess I'm saying that... I think I've always liked you.
Lily
What? Like, as a friend, right?
James
No, not just as a friend. I've always cared about you more than that, but I never knew how to say it.
Lily
I don't know... we've been friends for so long. What if it ruins everything?
James
I don't think it would. Maybe it would just make things... better.
Lily
But what if it changes things? What if we stop having fun, stop laughing like we used to?
James
I don't think it would. We're still us, right? The same two kids who could spend hours swinging and laughing at the silliest things.
Lily
Yeah, I guess that's true. But... what if I like you too? What if I've always liked you the same way?
Lily
Yeah, I think I have for a while. I've just been too afraid to admit it.
Lily
Maybe we take things slow. Like we always have, but... maybe with a little more.
James
I think I can handle that. So, you want to race to the swings again?
Lily
Only if you promise not to cheat this time.
James
I'll be good, I promise. But this time, I'm going to win.
Lily
We'll see about that.
Midnight Calls
Lily
Obviously. You called.
James
Yeah, but you answered.
Lily
Of course, I did. It's past midnight. Feels like a secret world, doesn't it?
Lily
Yeah. Like, the rest of the world is asleep, and it's just us. Everything is quiet, and nothing else matters except this moment
James
I like that. I like that a lot.
James
So... why are you still up?
(Noah's heart skips a beat)
Lily
Don't 'oh' me. You're the one who called me at this hour. What were you thinking about?
James
Yeah. Every time I close my eyes, I see your smile. Every time I try to sleep, I hear your laugh. It's like... you're stuck in my head, and I don't mind.
Lily
You're really saying all this at 1 AM?
James
It's easier to be honest when the world is quiet. When it's just you and me, and I don't have to pretend I'm not completely falling for you.
James
You don't have to say anything. I just wanted you to know.
Lily
No, I want to say something. I feel the same.
Lily
Yeah. I think I've been feeling this for a while, but I didn't know how to say it.
James
You didn't have to. I think I knew.
James
I guess we stay here, in our secret world, for a little longer.
Lily
I'd like that. But... promise me one thing?
Lily
When the world wakes up, we don't pretend this conversation never happened.
