Elektra.
You always have to overdo it, huh?
I always have to apologize for your behavior, but I don't think my apology will be accepted this time.
Shiloh breaks free from my grip and just stands there staring at me.
I don't know what to say. Dammit Elektra.
"Sorry about that.... Elektra is.....she's"
"She's an asshole" he interrupts.
"Yeah....she's an asshole"
He looks away and crosses his arms and I just stand there awkwardly.
"Why are you avoiding me?" He mumbles, quiet and softly.
"What are you talking about?"
"Ever since that night you've been avoiding me, I go to your office every day and you're never there"
"I was out of town. I told you that I'd be leaving when we had dinner together. Remember?"
He looked a little embarrassed "oh, yeah. I forgot"
I let out a quiet laugh "every day huh? Is there something important you want to tell me?"
"I just......I'm sorry about the way things went that night"
"You said that already"
"I know but, you didn't accept my apology!"
"So you're just going to keep saying sorry until I accept your apology?"
He nods.
"Everyday?"
He nods.
I laugh "that's a bit obsessive"
"I just want us to be friends, so.....just, forgive me already.... please?"
"Okay, okay I forgive you. Now come on, I'll walk you to your door" I said walking off.

I smiled from ear to ear as I followed behind her. I feel like I haven't seen her in years, I can't help but smile.
I really missed her, I hadn't noticed until now.
We finally made it to my dorm and she turned around to face me.
"Okay, I got you here safely. I'll be on my way now"
"Oh....okay"
She gave me a confused look "you seem disappointed, you okay?"
"Yeah, I just haven't seen you in a while. I was hoping we could catch up a little"
"Let's catch up over dinner tomorrow night, my treat"
"I was actually hoping I could treat you to dinner, since the last time was so.... awkward."
"Awkward is one way to describe it"
"Yeah, sorry."
"It's fine. So, what time should we meet?"
"Uhhh, I'll have to check my schedule. Can I just have your personal cellphone number? I'll call you and let you know"
I know my schedule is clear but it would be awkward to just ask for her number.
"Sure, it's +1860-763-1111"
"Okay, I'll call you!"
"I'll be waiting, good night Shiloh"
"Wait!"
"What now?"
"Nothing, just....thank you for the phone"
She seemed a little shocked "w-what makes you think I bought it?!"
"You're the only person I know that could afford it"
"Well...it wasn't me. Soooo.... good night" she said walking off.
"Whatever! Thanks for the phone Xena! You're the best!" I yelled.
I seen her burst into laughter before disappearing down a flight of stairs.
