"I need to talk to you. Are you alone?" He urgently asks me.

"Umm, sure." I say, befuddled.

Mikhail wastes no time pushing past me and walking towards the fridge i'd left open to close it, and the lean against.

I gingerly walk towards him, watching him carefully.

"What do you need?" I ask.

Mikhail looks up, his eyes seemingly searching for something in mine, which I cannot tell if he found it.

He then lets out a sigh.

"I would have told this at the theme park this afternoon, but that couldn't happen." He stands straight from his leaning position. "I spent the whole evening planning it, how to tell you, but...i just...just..."

"Get to the point." I say, getting impatient and scared at his monologue.

"Look, sheesha, i always thought you were some stuck up dead ass cow, but these few days have changed that. I see you're different. So, i was wondering if you'd...go out with me?"

I feel my jaw drop to th floor i swear.

Awe, he called her sheesha after all this time.
