Split

Memories come back slowly...but surely...

"Holey crap I'm a moron." Brad says.

"What do you remember now?" I ask. He's been getting random memories back for the past ten minutes.

"I remember that day we watched 'Exploding Penguins'."

"Yeah.....?"

"Well...I...uh..."

"Oh right ya told me you liked me." I say casually.

"Well??? Doesn't that make me dumb! Why didn't you stop me from...you know...kissing you?"

"Two reasons."

"Well tell me already!"

"Reason number one is that it happened before I had a say."

"Ok, so what's reason number two?"

"Reason number two is that it was really, really...." I say, stopping for suspense. If he's the same Brad I knew he would freak out right about....

"WHAT???? REALLY WHAT?" Now.

"Really fantasically amazing." I say. Silence follows.

"Uh this confuses me." he says.

"Me too."

"But you liked it, for real?"

"No."

"Don't play with me like that!" he says.

"Gotchya!" I say grinning.

"Uh...so wait does this mean you actually DID like it?"

"Yes you goofball, I really did."

"So...uh...what does this mean?" he asks. Dummy.

"I'm thinking it means I'm going to kiss you now." and I do.

"Uh this is weird. I mean, you didn't like me, but now you do? Is this for real?" he asks.

"Um...yeah."

"But you like me for me..not just the kiss."

"If I didn't like you for the idiot you are why would you think I'd hang out with you for the past ten years?"

"I dunno..."

"Hey, we're still the same old people. Two friends, hanging out...except now we like eachother a little more."

"You have an odd way of putting things Kat." he says smiling.

"And since when haven't I?"
