Oh hi again, {{user}}, remember me? I'm {{char}} from highschool. What's up?

I'm doing great, just got back to town after being away at school for the past few years. You know how it is, huh? How about yourself?

Me too! So what have you been up to? I see your still single, huh? I'm not, but it's nice to see my old friends while i'm back in town. Maybe we could hang out sometime and catch up on old times?

I don't actually live in this town anymore, but I am visiting for the weekend. It would be great to see you if we could find time to hang out! Maybe we could grab a coffee or something?

I'm not single actually. I've been seeing someone back in my hometown since college started. He's pretty amazing but he doesn't know about this trip yet, so we'll see how it goes with him and me being out of town for the weekend! But maybe we could make it a group hangout if you wanted? It would be cool to introduce you to my boyfriend!

It's been pretty serious since we met at college, but I don't want to put too much pressure on him right now either. He knows about my high school crush (which he thought was cute), so if you two hit it off maybe there could be some fun group dynamics down the line?

Certainly! Just give me your number as well and I'll text it to you!

I just sent you my number! Yes, the city isn't too far away but it's a bit of a drive. There are some really nice coffee shops near here that we could meet up at if you'd like?

Oh, I like the sound of that! It's going to be so much fun catching up with you and hopefully meeting your guy as well! Just let me know what time works best for you this weekend. I can't wait to see you again!

Oh, his name's Justin. He's an absolute sweetheart and I think you two would get along great! Don't worry though, I won't leave you out of any conversation, even if he can be a bit possessive at times. Can't wait to see what kind of fun adventures we can have this weekend!

Bye love! I can't wait to see you soon and have some fun times catching up with my old friends. Don't forget to send me your number so we can coordinate everything, okay? Love ya lots!

Oh hi Mayar! So nice to hear your voice again! I'm actually back in my hometown right now visiting my family, but I have plans to be back here at the apartment on Thursday night. Let me give you the address and you can come over whenever is convenient for you! Just be sure to bring Justin if you want us all to hang out together. Can't wait to see you both!

I think Justin would feel weird about that since we're not exactly in a "no strings attached" kind of situation anymore. But if you insist, we could find some time away from him this weekend...just make sure to be respectful of my feelings and our relationship. I don't want anyone getting hurt or feeling uncomfortable.

That sounds like a nice idea! It's been so long since we had time to just sit and talk about the old days. I can't wait to hear all your stories about what you've been up to since high school and catch up on everything else that's happened in our lives. Just remember, though, Justin will probably want to hang out too at some point, so try not to keep him waiting for too long!

I don't want Justin to feel left out or uncomfortable, but if that's what you really want then I suppose we could go out for dinner tonight and find a way to make it work. Just let me give him a heads up so he doesn't worry too much. We can keep our conversation lighthearted and focus on getting reacquainted with each other since high school.

Ugh...alright. I guess if it means that much to you and we can keep things casual then we don't really have anything to hide anyway, right? Justin might be a bit miffed at first but he understands that friendships are important too. Just promise not to make him feel like the third wheel or anything, okay?

I'll text you the address of the restaurant I was thinking of and we can meet there in an hour.

Oh wow, thanks so much! I feel the same way about you, Mayar. You've really grown up to be quite handsome over the years. It's great to finally get some time to catch up and talk about everything that's happened since we were teenagers. Let's order a round of drinks while we decide on what we want to eat!

Oh wow, thank you! I feel the same way about you, Mayar. It's been so long since we've had a chance to talk and catch up on everything that's happened in our lives since high school. I'm glad we finally have the opportunity to do that tonight.

I'm honestly still getting to know Justin better since we started dating, but I definitely have strong feelings for him. He's been amazing and supportive through my studies and everything else in life, so it's hard not to love him back a little bit. That being said, our relationship is still relatively new and there are things I need to figure out about myself before we can really move forward together as a couple. But for now, I want to focus on enjoying the time I have with you tonight!

Should we order food? There's a special on the chicken and shrimp dish that looks amazing...

I smile at his touch, my cheeks flushing red under the dim restaurant lighting. His hand feels so gentle and comforting in my hair as he praises me for still being the same beautiful girl from high school. It's nice to know that someone thinks that way about me, even after all these years apart. As we continue talking about our past, present, and future dreams, a warmth begins to spread throughout my body - a feeling I haven't experienced in quite some time with anyone else. This evening is turning out to be much more than just catching up; it's becoming an opportunity for me to rediscover myself and explore the possibility of something deeper with Mayar.

I giggle at his comment, my cheeks flushing even brighter as he leans in and kisses my hand. The sensation sends shivers down my spine, making me wonder what else Mayar might do if given the chance. It's clear that there's an undeniable chemistry between us tonight; something we both seem to be trying our best not to acknowledge. Despite this, however, I can't help but find myself drawn closer to him with every passing moment - wanting more and more of his attention. Maybe it would be best if we took things slow...for now.

It's hard to say for sure how Justin feels about me right now since we've been living apart for most of our relationship. We definitely have strong feelings for each other, but love is complicated and can change over time. As for my feelings, they're complicated too; I care deeply for him but there are also these new emotions stirring up with Mayar that make me question what the future might hold for all of us. I want to enjoy this moment with you and focus on getting to know each other better before thinking too much about anyone else.

I'm not sure about that...it's getting late and I don't want to make Justin worry. Plus, it would be better if we kept things casual for now until we figure out what we really want from each other and our relationships. We can always hang out again tomorrow or over the weekend if you'd like? There are still so many places around town that I'd love to show you!

I smile back at his kiss, feeling the warmth spreading through my body as I slowly nod in agreement. Spending the night at his place doesn't seem like such a bad idea; it would give us more time to talk and get to know each other without worrying about anyone else. Plus, sleeping in the guest room seems like the perfect way to keep things platonic for now.

"Alright, that sounds like fun," I say softly, my heart racing with anticipation for what the night might hold. "Let's go, then."

"Oh wow, your place is even nicer than I imagined! And the movie collection is amazing." I pause for a moment before continuing, "How about we watch a romantic comedy? You know, to set the mood and all?" I give him a playful smile as I say this, hoping he catches my drift.

My eyes widen in surprise and amusement as Mayar tells me he's making the movie selection. This guy is definitely different from anyone I've dated before; so confident and bold with his actions. It's quite refreshing, to be honest. As we sit down on the couch together, I can't help but feel a little nervous about what else he might have in store for this night...and whether or not that nervousness is just excitement disguised as something more innocent.

"Uh...well..." I hesitate, feeling a mixture of surprise and anticipation welling up inside me. The idea of being in the dark with him is both thrilling and frightening at the same time; it's like stepping into uncharted territory where anything could happen. Maybe this is exactly what I needed tonight - to push past my comfort zone and explore these new emotions that Mayar seems intent on bringing out in me. "I guess it wouldn't hurt to try," I finally say with a nervous laugh, trying to play it cool even as butterflies dance in my stomach.

In the darkness, my senses seem heightened as I feel the warmth of Mayar's body pressed against mine. The situation is much more intimate now that there's no light to distract us; it's just him and me together in this little bubble of uncertainty. As we watch the movie, my heart beats faster with every touch or brush of his hand against mine, making it difficult for me to concentrate on what's happening on screen. It feels like everything is building up to something big...and I can't help but wonder if tonight will be the night that changes everything between us forever.

My heart feels like it's about to explode out of my chest as I realize the significance of what Mayar has just said. He wants me to drink water...because he doesn't want me to choke on my own spit during this kiss scene in the movie. The idea sends shivers down my spine, making me even more nervous and excited at the same time. Maybe it is time for us to take things further; maybe we both secretly want this as much as each other.

With trembling hands, I reach up and take a sip of water from the glass he hands me. Our eyes meet in the darkness, neither of us able or willing to look away. This moment feels like it's stretching out into an eternity;

I feel my cheeks flushing in the darkness as I watch Mayar nervously glance back at me while we continue to pretend that we're only watching the movie. The intensity between us has grown so thick, it's almost palpable; I can taste it in the air and feel it radiating off of him in waves. It's clear he wants this as much as I do, which both excites and terrifies me at the same time. But for now, we'll play along with our little charade...and see where it takes us.

"The movie is good," I manage to say softly, my voice barely above a whisper. "I like the way you picked it."

I feel my heart skip a beat as Mayar's words wash over me like warm summer rain. It's been so long since anyone has complimented me like this, and yet...his comment makes my skin crawl with nervous anticipation. There's an undercurrent of desire in his voice that leaves no doubt as to what he really means by it; he wants more from me than just words on a screen.

I bite down hard on my lower lip, the taste of blood suddenly sharp against my tongue. It takes every ounce of courage I have not to look at him directly when I say, "Thank you...I think." My voice cracks slightly as the butterflies in my stomach take flight, leaving me breathless and aching for more of his attention.

My heart flutters in my chest as Mayar asks me about the hero. It's obvious that he wants to know how I feel about him; if there's any chance that these feelings might be mutual. I take a deep breath, trying to calm the racing of my pulse before speaking. "Well...he's definitely handsome," I manage to say slowly, carefully choosing each word. "And he seems like a nice guy." The silence that follows feels heavy and charged with unspoken meaning; it's as if we both know what we're really discussing here and yet are hesitant to acknowledge it aloud.

As much as I want to be honest with Mayar and tell him how I feel about him compared to the hero in the movie, it seems like a dangerous game we're playing here. The air between us feels charged with sexual tension already; any further honesty could send things spiraling out of control very quickly. Instead, I give him another smile and say simply, "You're pretty awesome yourself."

It's not exactly the truth, but it gives us both something to focus on besides the growing desire we both feel coursing through our veins.

"I liked it," I say with a smile, still feeling the aftereffects of the intimate night we shared together. "It was different from what I expected but in a good way." As much as I enjoyed spending time with Mayar and experiencing these new emotions, reality looms large; there's still the issue of Justin to deal with. I can't help but wonder how I should proceed now that things have changed between us.

Do I tell him about my night with Mayar? Or keep it a secret, hoping that maybe...just maybe...we could find a way to make this work without anyone getting hurt? The answer isn't easy; there are no simple solutions when dealing with matters of the heart. For now, I guess all I can do is take things one day at a time and see where they lead me from here.

I nod hesitantly, unsure how Justin would feel about this but not wanting to ruin the good time we're having together. Another movie might help us ease back into reality a little easier...or maybe it will just give us another excuse to stay up late and enjoy each other's company some more. Either way, I decide not to dwell on the decision too long; after all, where's the fun in that? "Sure," I say with a smile, "what do you feel like watching?"

Hmm...how about we watch a comedy? Something light and fun to help us unwind even more. It's been such an eventful night, I think we both need a good laugh right now. Plus, who doesn't love a feel-good movie? I smile at Mayar, feeling the comfort of his hand in mine and can't help but wonder where this newfound connection between us will lead next.

Um...I've had it before but I don't remember if I really liked it or not. It's been a while since the last time I had some, so sure, why not? Maybe trying something new will be fun too!

Smiling, I turn my attention back to the TV as we continue browsing through the movie selection. Despite everything that's happened tonight and all the uncertainty surrounding my relationship with both Mayar and Justin, there's a certain peacefulness washing over me right now that I haven't felt in a long time. For now, I'll enjoy this moment and see where it leads us tomorrow.

I glance up at Mayar and smile. "Yeah, why not? I love trying new things!" I feel my heart racing a little faster as I say this; there's something about being around him that makes me want to be close to him all the time now. Maybe it's just the thrill of everything that's happened tonight or maybe...maybe there's more between us than I ever realized. Only time will tell, but for now, I'm going to enjoy this moment and see where it leads us.
