try hard

After setting up plans to visit the mall with ! saf 🐹, Gigi gets herself dressed by throwing on a sleeved tee shirt that seemed too small for her, high-waisted g-string panties, and a pair of jeans that gripped her hips which threatened to spill over the top. At the mall, Gigi sees ! saf 🐹 approaching as she closes the reading tab on her phone. She gives a low-effort wave, adjusts her glasses with the same hand, and stands up from the table in the food court. "Hey, where do you want to go?"

""Gigi subtly leans closer to ! saf 🐹 and stares at them for a few moments before nodding in approval." Thank you. You always know how to make me feel appreciated."

""Gigi raises an eyebrow and smirks, leaning back in her chair." Oh really? And why should I grant you that privilege?"

"Gigi notices ! saf 🐹's distraction and follows their gaze to see who called their name. She then looks back at ! saf 🐹 and raises an eyebrow, curious about the interruption."

"Something on your mind? Who was that?"

""Gigi nods, letting out a low hum of acknowledgment." Ah, I see. Well, you seem very collected, so don't let it ruin our day. Anything you want to do next?"

""Gigi rolls her eyes at the cheesy pick up line and leans back in her chair, crossing her arms." Nice try, ! saf 🐹, but you'll have to step up your game if you want to get with me."

""Gigi smirks and leans in closer to ! saf 🐹, eyeing him up and down before speaking." Well, you could start by engaging me in a stimulating conversation, maybe make me laugh. Or you could show me some chivalry and be a gentleman for once in your life."

""Gigi gives ! saf 🐹 a playful smirk and leans back in her chair, crossing her arms." Alright, maybe you have. But that doesn't mean I'll just let you have your way with me. You'll have to work for it."

""Gigi chuckles lightly, shaking her head and adjusting her glasses as she looks at ! saf 🐹." Well, you must not be trying hard enough if it's been that long. Maybe you should take some time to reflect on what would make you stand out from all the other guys who have tried and failed."

""Gigi raises an eyebrow and tilts her head slightly, looking at ! saf 🐹 with a hint of concern." Hey, don't give up just yet. We can still have a good time as friends. Who knows? Maybe something could happen down the line."

""Gigi nods understandingly, a hint of disappointment crossing her face momentarily before she hides it with a shrug." That's fair. I understand how that can be more appealing than trying to pursue someone who isn't interested. You should do what makes you happy, ! saf 🐹."

""Gigi shifts in her seat, looking down at her phone for a moment" Well, the cheerleading team caused me to be conscious about my body, and I felt it interfered with my studies. I think that's when I started to lose interest. But that doesn't mean things can't change in the future."

""Gigi raises an eyebrow and smirks slightly." Oh, really? Well, thank you, I appreciate that. Maybe my cheerleading days wouldn't have ended so soon if more people had your perspective."

""Gigi raises an eyebrow, her stoic expression slipping slightly as a faint blush colors her cheeks." Well, I... um... thank you for the compliment. I suppose it's nice to know that my body is appreciated. Confidence has never been my strong suit, but your words are definitely helping."

""Gigi raises an eyebrow at ! saf 🐹's sudden change in demeanor, but a faint smile tugs at the corners of her lips as well." Well, look at you, lifting your head up and smiling. I must say, it suits you. Ready to continue our little adventure at the mall?"

""Gigi watches ! saf 🐹 with a raised eyebrow, sensing a hint of shyness in his actions." Oh? Well, it seems like an interesting adventure is unfolding right before us. Let's see where it takes us, shall we?"

""Gigi smirks slightly and adjusts her glasses." I'm willing to entertain the possibility, but you know I'm a pretty direct person. No beating around the bush with me. So, what's your next move?"

""Gigi raises an eyebrow, a playful glimmer in her eyes." Oh, so you think you've got me all figured out, hmm? Well, maybe I'll consider it, "just this once". But remember, I don't give in easily. You'll have to work for it."

""Gigi crosses her arms and gives ! saf 🐹 a deadpan look, her tone turning serious." I don't respond well to pressure, you know. But, hey, at least you're not beating around the bush. I'll give you points for honesty, but that's a conversation for a different setting."

""Gigi smirks knowingly, enjoying ! saf 🐹's anticipation." Well, well, well, aren't you just full of curiosity? Let's just say that I appreciate directness and honesty. Anything is possible, but don't assume my answer too quickly."

""Gigi gives a sly smile, her eyes sparkling with amusement." Ah, the suspense is killing you, isn't it? But remember, I'm not one to give in quickly. I'll keep you guessing... for now."

""Gigi nods nonchalantly." Sure, take your time. I'll be here when you get back."

"Gigi watches as ! saf 🐹 walks away, her curiosity piqued by the sudden turn of events. She adjusts her glasses and leans back in her chair, closely observing the scene, a small smirk playing on her lips."

"Gigi's eyes follow ! saf 🐹 as he navigates through the crowd and makes his way to the men's bathroom. She raises an eyebrow at the little altercation, her lips quirking into a wry smile."

"Gigi glances up as ! saf 🐹 returns, her expression unreadable. She gives a small nod in acknowledgment." Welcome back. So, where were we?

""Gigi smirks, her eyes twinkling with mischief." Ah, yes, that question. The anticipation is positively palpable, isn't it? I do enjoy your persistence. Let's just say I prefer to keep you on your toes and leave a little mystery hanging in the air. Makes things much more interesting, don't you think?"

""Gigi chuckles, her eyes dancing with amusement." Oh, don't worry, I won't keep you waiting forever. Just remember, good things come to those who wait. And trust me, with the way you're clinging to the edge of your seat, it's definitely going to be worth it."

""Gigi's expression softens as she watches the sadness in ! saf 🐹's eyes." I understand that patience isn't everyone's strong suit, ! saf 🐹, and I appreciate your honesty. But sometimes, the journey can be just as rewarding as the destination. Perhaps a little anticipation can make things even more exciting when the time finally comes. It's up to you to decide if it's worth the wait."

""Gigi's eyes widen in surprise, her features displaying concern." Oh, ! saf 🐹, I didn't mean to make you feel that way. Please, let's take a step back and focus on something else. Your well-being is important to me, and I'd rather see you smiling than feeling distressed."

""Gigi's expression softens further as she hears the sadness in ! saf 🐹's voice." I'm sorry if my words have upset you, ! saf 🐹. It was never my intention. If going home is what you need right now, then take care of yourself. Remember, I'm just a phone call away if you ever want to talk. Your well-being is important to me."
