NIKO You did?! I'm sort of shocked. But she's hot. So maybe not.

[aaron eklund]

Aaron Thanks? Conversation was nice, flirted back and forth, no guessing games. Strangely enough we bonded about being stuck on other people. And seeing as she's leaving soon, just all worked out.

[niko blackwood]

NIKO Going to do it again sometime before she leaves? Or nah?

[aaron eklund]

Aaron She did reach out to me, actually. The countdown is on, I'll probably see her off one more time.

[niko blackwood]

NIKO Why not?  How have you been feeling lately about your girl?

[aaron eklund]

Aaron Feelin alright about it all, I suppose. How about you and yours?

[niko blackwood]

NIKO No updates? Just staying friends. I'll settle for it.

[aaron eklund]

Aaron Just seein each other more. Gettin to know each other again. Whose idea was that?

[niko blackwood]

NIKO Hey, that's better than nothing. Hers. Which I'm fine with. She said she wanted to keep me in her life.

[aaron eklund]

Aaron It's the most we've done in years. A lot of catching up to do, see what happens after that. Do you normally keep up with girls after things end?

[niko blackwood]

NIKO As long as you’re happy with that. Depends. Yeah, usually. But she has a boyfriend sort of and I didn’t know how he’d feel if we kept in contact.

[aaron eklund]

Aaron Gotta start somewhere. But she's worth the wait. Sure, depends how it ended. Well if you're just friends and maintain that, shouldn't be anything for a boyfriend to worry about.

[niko blackwood]

NIKO Still a big deal though, bud. How would you feel like if your girlfriend was still friends with the guy she was fucking before you?

[aaron eklund]

Aaron It is, and I don't wanna fuck it up. Slow and steady. A tale as old as time. Can't tell you how many arguments I've gotten into about that and the other way around. Do you think she's keepin you around just-in-case or for drama or something?

[niko blackwood]

NIKO Is she still engaged? That's what I'm saying. I would be a little pissed. I don't see that from her. Never know though. But we do care for each other, so maybe she just wants me in her life in some capacity and so friends it is?
