Fiction Dialouge

“I think this will be good enough,” she announced. Her hair flew past her shoulders as she removed it from her ponytail.

His gaze went from his phone to her immediately. “Yeah, it’s okay.” She calmly agreed. His attention went back to his phone. He tried to ignore the glare that was coming from her, though it was obvious he knew he wasn't showing her the attention that she wanted.

“I know you see me looking at you,” she yelled. His attempt to not care failed as the smirk on his face slowly transformed into a small giggle. She smiled along with him.

“Okay, okay,” he replied “let me take a look at what you've done.” He placed his phone on the table giving her his undivided attention. He signaled for her to turn around and she gleefully obeyed. Her hair barely touched her clavicle with highlights of blonde and running through it. He let his fingers dance through it searching for the rest that was no longer there.  A nostalgic gaze took over him as she finished her little twirl. He couldn't let her know though- it would crush her.

“Nice,” he breathed out “it was time for a change anyway. Do you like it?”

“I love it!” she squealed.

“Yeah, me too.”

Although they promised to be honest with one another he just wanted to see her happy. It’d been so long since she acted this way and he missed it dearly. Her mannerisms and body language screamed of joy and he decided he would be the last one to ruin that. He leaned against the wall as he took in her new self, almost admiring the new woman she had become. A part of him hated her new straggly hairstyle, it reminded him of the kid in his chemistry class that sat in the back and typed too loud. Another part of him couldn't get over the fact that he could still see her beauty shine through that hideous cut and those baggy clothes. No matter how she dressed or appeared, she would always be his.

“Okay,” she announced as she put her hair back into a ponytail “let’s go get something to eat.”

“Sure.”

“Can we go to that sushi joint everyone’s been talking about?”

“Whatever makes you happy.”

It seemed that was his goal from the beginning.
