You've just reached the phone of the World's Handsomest Man. AKA Gippal Nawahine. Leave a message and I'll get back to you ASAP.

Gippal? It's Asami... I was wondering if you might want to go out sometime, now that I've settled back into things. Lunch, maybe? My treat! Call me when you can. Bye!

[Yes, you can probably hear the smile in her voice.]

[And this would be him calling her back a short time after he gets the message. He..honestly doesn't know if she is asking him out to lunch as a friend or...well, he doesn't want to jump to conclusions. So he just decided to call her back.]

Hey, I just got your message.

[It's barely rung twice before she picks it up.]

Hey! So... are you free at all this week? I know with classes starting back up that our schedules can get sort of crowded....

[At least, if he's even interested. She hopes she hadn't been reading him wrong... And of course she doesn't realize that the situation is quite different from how it was when she left.]

I...it depends. Did you mean grab lunch as friends or..?

[...Depends?]

I... was thinking more like a date.

[She can tell something's... off.]

Asami..

[This is actually going to hurt him a lot.] I..I should have told you. While you were gone, I started seeing someone.

Oh!

[This isn't the first time this has happened to her, in one form or another. Asami is suddenly very glad that she decided to call him rather than ask him in person. She should have considered that the world didn't stop spinning just because she was gone. It's like a punch in the gut, but doesn't let onto it in her tone.]

Gippal, I'm sorry... I hadn't realized- I... [She trails off for a second.] I didn't know. [She can't really think of the proper thing to say.]

No, don't apologize. It's my fault for not saying anything sooner. I would have if I knew you..

I'm sorry, Asami. I really really am.

No, please don't be. It's not your fault, really.

[And she doesn't blame him. Not for anything. She should have said something sooner...

But now isn't the time for 'what ifs.']

I just... don't want anything to be awkward. Promise it won't be?

It won't be. I don't want it to be. You are one of my closest friends, Asami. I'd hate for you not to be apart of my life.

Thank you... [She takes a deep breath. She appreciates Gippal not making a big deal out of her mistake. It means a lot more than she can really say.]

I... I guess I'll talk to you later, then? [She still wants to spend time with him, even if only as friends.]

Yeah..but we can still go out for that lunch, if you want. Me and you still do have to catch up. I want to hear all about what being a CEO was like.

[Asami gives a slight laugh.]

Alright. You might be a little disappointed, it... wasn't exactly a thrilling experience. When are you free?
