incoming call from liam 🐶💞
( briar | liam )

"Hey Dunbabe, what's up?"

"I just wanted to talk to
you. How have you been?"

"You mean since I saw you
two days ago? I've mean okay.
I don't know, I guess I'm just
suspicious, considering it's been
a few weeks since we got those
creepy pictures. It feels like we're
just waiting for something to
happen."

"Try not to worry about it,
maybe it really was all a joke."

"I just have a bad feeling."

"How about we talk about
something a little more happy."

"Like?"

"Like... um... okay so, like—"

"Come on, Liam."

"Well, we've been on five dates
now..."

"That's right."

"And I was just wondering...
I'm sorry this was a bad idea,
I'm gonna go."

"No, Liam, just say it, I'm listening."

"Okay, here it goes. I was kind of
wondering if you wanted to be
my girlfriend?"

"Liam..."

"I knew it was a bad idea... I
had a whole plan to make it
special and romantic but I just
didn't want to wait any longer."

"You don't need a grand gesture, I
already like you a lot. Of course
I'll be your girlfriend."

"Really?"

"What's so surprising? You said it
yourself, we've been on five dates,
I wouldn't have gone on them if I
didn't see this going somewhere."

"But really, you like me a lot?"

"Yes, I like you a lot, Liam."

"This is arguably the best day
of my life."

"Arguably?"

"Well... I just meant that..."

"I'm only kidding, relax. So, when
is our first date as an official couple?"

"How does tonight sound?"

"Perfect. Pick me up at seven?"

"Okay, yeah. Should I... hang
up?"

"I have to get ready so probably.
I'll see you tonight. Bye, Liam."

"Okay, right, bye Bri."

"Hey girl."

"Guess what?"

"You've just found out that
you're the rightful heir to
the crown of some unknown
kingdom?"

"How'd you know?"

"Lucky guess."

"More importantly though, Liam
asked me to be his girlfriend."

"Finally. How'd he do it?"

"He called me and we talked for
a bit before he asked me."

"That's it?"

"What's wrong with that? Just
because it wasn't a fancy, romantic
proposal doesn't mean it meant
any less. Besides, I could tell he was
was really nervous, it was cute."

"I know, I know, we have such
different expectations. I'm
happy for you, though. You guys
are really cute together."

"Thanks, Isla. Okay, I have to go,
we're going out tonight but I just
wanted to tell you first thing!"

"Okay, good luck. I love you,
babes!"

"Love you, too, Lala!"
