As Christian sits in his bedroom, his mind races with thoughts of Marilena. He knows he needs to address what happened the other day when he expressed his desire to kiss her. Despite the fear of rejection and the uncertainty of their fake relationship, he can't shake the feeling that he owes her an apology for making her uncomfortable.
Taking a deep breath, Christian picks up his phone and dials Marilena's number. After a few rings, she answers, her voice warm and inviting.
"Hey, Christian," she says, a hint of curiosity in her tone. "What's up?"
"Hey, Marilena," Christian begins, his voice tinged with nervousness. "I...I wanted to talk to you about the other day, when I said I wanted to kiss you."
Marilena's breath catches in her throat at his words, her heart racing with anticipation. She had been hoping he would bring it up, wanting to address the tension that had been lingering between them ever since.
