Nerissa & Q

Long Distance

❝Finally you answer! It's been years since we've last talked! I've missed you so much!❞

"Dimples, it's been a week. We text all the time when we can. What are you talking about?"

❝Shut up. This is my excuse to call you. I miss you.❞

"I'm liking this sudden change of personality from distant to wanting to be on top of me."

❝...Okay now you're pushing it just a bit.❞

"Am I? If I was with you in person right now, you would totally be kissing me."

❝On the cheek. I would be kissing you on the cheek.❞

"What...why just the cheek?"

❝Don't you remember our first date when you almost killed me?❞

"...Yes?"

❝You kissed me on the cheek.❞

"Oh...OH. Dammit. Should've kissed you on the lips when I had the chance."

❝You know...you should visit California sometime.❞

"I've tried talking to my parents about it, but they disagree completely."

❝I see.❞

"I hear the disappointment in your voice. You don't have to hide it."

❝It's just, weird how this entire thing played out you know? You moved, you gave up on us-❞

"Let me make one thing clear you and don't you dare try and interrupt got it? I didn't give up on us. I didn't want to give up on us in the first place. I was afraid that the moment I left Oliver would try making a move on you because dammit it's obvious that he liked you a lot. So, I did what I had to do. I let you two date and it crushed my heart, but now look where we are. We are both single, we both have become friends again, and I am willing to try long distance now that Oliver is out of the way."

❝You...you...wanted to try long distance?❞

"Always did. I just knew that I had to let you explore your relationship with Oliver first. I should have told you, but I was afraid okay? No one has ever meant this much to me and if I had to lose you first to get you in the end then so be it."

❝So...if I ask this, please don't say dynamic again okay?❞

"Trust me, I won't."

❝What are we?❞

"We are trying long distance. I don't know if we're friends or more, all I know is that I want you in my life."

❝I feel the exact same way.❞

"Then it's settled. We're doing this."

❝You'll move back to California eventually right?❞

"Hopefully. Until then, I am going to say this and don't freak out."

❝Quentin...❞

"I really-"

❝Too soon!❞

"Like you. I really like you Nerissa."

❝Okay not too soon.❞

"Ahem, I'm waiting."

❝...Piss off. I really like you too.❞

"Say it again."

❝I really like you too, Quentin.❞

"Damn, my heart feels like it's about to explode."

❝Same here.❞

"You can't see it, but I'm smiling."
