Naomi,
How did we let 3 weeks go by without seeing each other? In the same city? I missed you a lot. It was great finally meeting up with you, even though I felt stupid wearing a business suit at McD's

Oliver

Oliver,
I happen to think you look good in a suit. Very Mad Men-esque. Especially when you squirted ketchup all over your fancy tie. I can't believe you work corporate now. That's so adult.

Naomi.x

Naomi,
I resent that and it was only because you made me laugh too hard. I feel like I could have abs now! I don't feel very adult yet.

Oliver

Oliver,
I also can't believe that of all the places the company could have assigned you to, they just happened to assign you in this branch. In my city.

Naomi.x

Naomi,
Maybe fate decided to bring us closer.

Oliver

Oliver,
Maybe you should get a new tie.

Oliver,
Thanks for letting me crash at your place last night. Ever since I got this new room mate, the room's been so loud and extremely messy. I'm also pretty sure she smokes here. While on my bed.

Ugh.

Naomi.x

Naomi,
Just one more year. And it's no big deal, it gets pretty quiet in my apartment, nice to have some annoying white noise every now and then.

Oliver

Oliver,
Ha. Ha. I'm probably crashing there tonight, too.

Naomi.x

Naomi,
This isn't so far from your campus, why don't you just finish the year here? I knew owning a futon instead of a proper sofa would serve good use somehow.

Oliver

Oliver,
Wouldn't that be weird?

Naomi.x

Naomi,
It's water under the bridge, isn't it? That's what you said last year. Besides, would you really rather just stay there?

Oliver

Oliver,
A solid point. Stock up on ice cream.

Naomi,
I forgot to take into consideration how loudly you snore.

Get help.

Oliver

Oliver,
At least I don't drool.

Naomi.x

Naomi,
Hey, my thing doesn't bother you when we're separated by a wall. The walls don't even begin to protect me from your Snorlax impression.

Oliver

Oliver,
Snorlax is just his name. I don't think he actually snores.

Naomi.x

Naomi,
That isn't even my point!

Oliver

Oliver,
I know but I like annoying you. Am I that bad a roomie?

Naomi.x

Naomi,
Well... You're still adorable when you sleep.

Not that I was watching you. I was on my way to the bathroom and I just happened to see you.

Oliver

Oliver,
Way to be creepy.

Naomi.x

Naomi,
I believe the word you're looking for is sweet.

Oliver,
.
I don't even know what to say.

Naomi.x

Naomi,
Say it was great. Say you didn't regret anything. Say you love me. Say it'll all be okay again.

Oliver

Oliver,
We shouldn't have done that. That was a mistake.

Naomi.x

Naomi,
Can you tell me with absolute certainty that that's all it was? A mistake? That you felt nothing? That it meant nothing? Because it meant everything to me. That wasn't a mistake, that was....that was something we meant to do. Because we're supposed to be together.

Oliver

Oliver,
I can tell you with absolute certainty that it was a mistake. But of course I didn't feel nothing, Oliver, you were supposed to be my one great love! Best friends that fell in love, how perfect of a story is that? But I can't see you as anything more, I refuse to. I refuse to open my heart up to you. You betrayed me in the ultimate sense. You don't just come back from that. You don't just bounce back from that. No matter how many times I mistakenly kiss you or more, we'll never be together. We weren't "meant" to be together, otherwise you wouldn't have broken my heart like that all those years ago. If you can't accept this, then maybe even remaining best friends was a mistake.

Naomi.x

Naomi,
How do you expect me to get over you or to move on from you? I've loved you since we were children. I'll continue loving you until we're old. I know, rationally, that I don't deserve a second chance. But if there's even the smallest of chances that you could forgive me and come back to me, I will always try.

Oliver

Oliver,
Then we can't be friends. I can't keep doing this. I can't keep stringing you along. I can't keep being this close to you knowing you want something more than I can give you. I'm going to move out, Oliver. And I think it's best that we don't speak for a while.
