Bumping into your old crush

Transcript

Oh, hey. It's nice to see you. Gosh, I haven't seen you for years.

Oh yeah, I recently moved back here. How about you? Really? Fuck, how many years has it been? Three? God, do you remember that summer? We never stopped hanging out.

Just all those gigs we went to. I remember the first time we met. It was.

.. Oh, I'm sorry. I'm just getting carried away.

Do you wanna grab a coffee maybe? And wait for this rain to go away. Or unless you're in a rush or something.

Yeah? Cool. Let's go.

Yeah, um, can I have a pot of batch brew? It's fine by you, right? Yeah.

No, no, no, my treat. Thank you. Thanks.

Come, let's sit down. You look good, by the way. I know, I, um, to be honest, I've been single for like a year now.

I've had a relationship and then, um, well, long story short, things went wrong and I ended it and, um, now here I am, moved back to here and, um, sorry, I, uh, sorry, I had a bit of a weekend and I've got a mild cold, but, um, promise I'm not contagious. I took a test. I'm joking.

It's just, I've just got a blocked nose. That's all. My throat is a bit, yeah.

Um, so yeah, I've, I've been alone for quite a while now and still trying to find myself. How about you? Gosh, this coffee is nice.

I'm sorry. Continue. Oh, shit.

You went through all that. So sorry to hear. No, I actually, I wasn't meaning to reach out because we were such good friends and obviously more than that, but it just felt odd.

I thought we both moved on with our lives and you know, um, sometimes people just leave your lives and you move on and you find new friends and I never really stopped thinking about you. The connection we had was something else. Um, yeah, I, I've actually, um, struggled to find a friend like you since, but, um, you're looking really good.

I mean, I'm glad you're feeling better since. We should really hang out more, especially now that we both live here. I mean, there's this amazing coffee shop as well.

Do you come here often or were you just walking past? Work. What do you do anyway? Do you still work at the theater? Oh, interesting.

I don't know why, um, actually I took up voice acting. Yeah, it's quite the ride. It's interesting, but, um, it's fun regardless.

Yeah, you can have a listen if you want, but, um, what do you do nowadays? Like, are you, are you, do you have anyone in your life? Huh.

Oh, we should definitely hang out more. I mean, uh, I knew, I knew what that sounded like. Even that could be a possibility.

We, we used to be really close and, and I do think we, we have a lot in common and, and that summer we pretty much spent a whole summer together was quite incredible. So I would love to see you more often and maybe even try something else sooner. Yeah.

Thanks. Give me a hug. Oh God, you still smell so nice.

I never quite forgot your smell. Oh, the rain seems to be gone. Where are you heading to anyway? Oh yeah, I'm going that way too.

Shall we walk for a bit? Yeah, let's go. Whereabouts do you live? Really? Oh, it's ridiculous.

I used to live there. Remember? Yeah.

I love the area. I did try to get an apartment nearby, but Oh my God. Well, you must know that the prices are insane nowadays.

So I'm just a couple of blocks away, not too far, but you know, it's not quite the same. Yeah. Feels actually really natural to have you here.

It's like, it's like you were missing from my life. I, I'm really happy to have bumped into you. Why don't we go out for dinner one of these days? Tomorrow? Yeah.

I knew this amazing Turkish place. It's, it's, it's quite new. Yeah.

Seven? Seven sounds good. Okay.

Well, I'm, I gotta go that way now, so I'll see you tomorrow. Yeah. Give me a hug.

So nice to see you. Bye.
