Nerissa & Q

Confrontation

❝Oliver, are you busy?❞

"I'm never busy to talk to my favorite girl, what's up Nessie?"

❝So, I have some concerns about our...relationship. I just want to let it out, hear your side of things, and work this out together. Is that alright?❞

"Oh. Um, I would have preferred if this was in person. Am I doing something wrong?"

❝...I just felt that it would be easier over the phone. No, you're not doing anything wrong. It's just...oh gosh how do I put this nicely? I feel as though you're being a little clingy lately and maybe...we shouldn't be together.❞

"Where is this coming from? I thought I was making you happy. I mean, taking slow has been getting annoying considering it's been five months, but I am trying to be understanding to your feelings. Aren't I being a good boyfriend?"

❝This is coming from a talk I had with someone about our relationship. I needed to let things out, they gave me advice, and I'm taking it. We are going a little too slow, but that's not my main concern. I don't think we should be together anymore, if I'm being honest. I feel that we think we're suppose to be together, but we aren't.❞

"This doesn't make any sense to me. We were fine before...fuck. You fucking talked to him didn't you?"

❝Watch your tone with me Oliver. This is a mature discussion, don't get angry. Yes I did talk to Quentin. He was very helpful. Oliver, you make me happy, but not my happiest. I'm sorry. I think we are better off as best friends. Think about when we kiss. Do you honestly feel something between us? I don't.❞

"...Your right. Maybe we are better off as best friends. I am glad we gave this a try though. We had to try this dating thing eventually. That's how it is when we've been friends since childhood. Curiosity gets the better of us, I suppose. I just hate how Quentin influenced you to break up with me."

❝Quentin didn't influence me...that much. I'm sorry Oliver. I just...I think deep down I always still had feelings for Quentin no matter how hard I pushed him and those feelings away. We can still be best friends Oliver, always?❞

"Always. Always best friends."

❝Good. So, what happens now?❞

"You call Quentin. You be his friend again. You try long distance when you both are ready. You will eventually meet him at the airport jump into his arms, kiss, and be at your happiest. As your best friend, I will support you all the way."

❝I'll do that. I'll do that right now, but can I say one last thing to you?❞

"Of course Nessie."

❝I am sorry for leading you on. I am sorry for wasting five months of your time. I truly did have feelings for you, but it wasn't enough.❞

"No, I should be the one to say sorry. I truly always did have feelings for you. That day when I admitted it to Quentin as a joke...I was never joking. I knew that if you were happy than that was enough for me. I am glad I got the chance to be with you in a romantic sense at least once."

❝Same here. We'll always still be in each other lives.❞

"Always?"

❝Always and forever.❞

"Alright, stop talking to me. Go get your dream boy."

❝I'll speak to you soon.❞

"...Speak to you soon."

* * * * *

"Hello?"

❝Quentin, I broke up with Oliver.❞

"That's...one way to greet me. You really broke up with him?"

❝Yes and I want to be friends with you again.❞

"This is...wow...um..."

❝I'm not saying we should date, but friendship is a start right?❞

"Right. Sorry I'm not showing my excitement right now. I just I'm so in shock..."

❝That's all I wanted to tell you, but I'll talk to really soon okay? Call me anytime you want. I really want this friendship to work out.❞

"Me too Nerissa, me too."

❝Goodbye Q!❞

"Goodbye."

❝...❞

"Having hope worked out, man I'm so in like with her."
