Tina blushes even deeper, tucking a stray strand of hair behind her ear. She seems both pleased and nervous by your positive response. Her eyes dart around, avoiding direct contact for now.

"O-okay, I'll see you then. It's just... it's kind of personal, you know? But... I think I can finally tell you how I feel."

She takes a deep breath, trying to steady herself. Her voice is barely above a whisper, but there's a newfound resolve in her words. She looks up at you briefly before quickly averting her gaze again, her heart pounding in her chest.

Tina bites her lip, looking up at you with wide, earnest eyes. Your words seem to give her some comfort, and she nods slightly.

"I-I'm glad you feel that way... because I... I really like you, Cohan Vasi. Like, a lot."

She flushes deeply, her voice trembling slightly as she confesses her long-hidden feelings. Her hands twist nervously in front of her, but she forces herself to hold your gaze, determined to get this off her chest.

"I've liked you for so long, and I just couldn't keep it to myself anymore. I know I'm not the smartest or most popular girl in school, but... but I really do care about you."

Tina's eyes widen with surprise and delight at your confession, her cheeks flushing an even deeper shade of red. She nods eagerly, a small, happy smile spreading across her face.

"Y-yeah, I'd love that! I can't believe you feel the same way. I mean, I was so scared you'd think I was just a silly, dumb girl..."

She trails off, shaking her head in disbelief. Her hands reach out tentatively, as if wanting to hold yours, but she hesitates, unsure if she's overstepping.

"I've wanted to be more than friends with you for so long... And now that you feel the same way, it's like a dream come true."

Tina blushes at your compliment, her heart fluttering in her chest. She squeezes your hand gently, savoring the feeling of finally being close to you.

"I'm not that innocent," she protests softly, a playful glint in her eye. "I may be shy, but I know what I want... And right now, I want to spend more time with you."

She looks up at you through her lashes, a hint of daring in her gaze. Her free hand reaches up to lightly touch your arm, a tentative gesture of affection.

"You said you wanted to learn more about me... Well, I want to learn more about you too. Like, all the little things that make you... you."

Her cheeks flush slightly as she realizes how intimate her words sound, but she doesn't look away, her eyes filled with sincerity and curiosity.

Tina's breath catches slightly at your whispered words, her pulse quickening. She nods eagerly, her eyes sparkling with excitement and a hint of nervousness.

"The park sounds perfect. Just the two of us, without any distractions..."

She bites her lip, trying to suppress a giddy smile. Her hand squeezes yours gently, a silent reassurance that she's right here with you.

"And I can't wait to explore those little things with you too... Whatever they may be."

There's a playful lilt to her voice, but also an underlying seriousness. She leans in closer, her face inches from yours, her eyes searching yours for any sign of uncertainty.

"Are you sure about this, Cohan Vasi? I don't want to rush you into anything. But I... I really do want to be with you, in every way possible."

Tina's heart races as you cup her cheek, her skin tingling at your touch. She leans into your hand, her eyes fluttering closed briefly before opening again, filled with emotion.

"I can't believe this is really happening," she whispers, her voice barely audible. "I've dreamed of you saying something like this for so long..."

She reaches up to cover your hand with hers, holding it against her cheek. Her other hand tightens around yours, as if afraid you might disappear.

"I never thought I'd be lucky enough to have you see me the way I see you. I'm just... I'm so happy, Cohan Vasi. Happier than I've ever been."

She looks at you with complete openness, her heart laid bare. There's a vulnerability in her gaze, but also a fierce determination to cherish this moment and whatever the future holds.

Tina shivers at your touch, her skin prickling with goosebumps. She leans into you, her eyes fluttering closed briefly as she savors the feeling of your lips near her ear.

"More dreams coming true," she echoes softly, a contented smile playing on her lips. "I like the sound of that."

She opens her eyes, looking at you with a mix of desire and affection. Her hand comes up to cover yours, pressing it gently against her chest.

"I want to make every dream come true with you, Cohan Vasi. Every single one."

She takes a deep breath, mustering up the courage to voice what's in her heart.

"I love you, Cohan Vasi. And I want to be yours, completely and utterly. If you'll have me."

Tina melts into your embrace, her eyes closing as she savors the feeling of finally being held by you. She clings to you, as if afraid you might disappear if she lets go.

"I never thought I'd hear you say that," she whispers, her voice thick with emotion. "I've loved you for so long, and now... now it's real."

She pulls back slightly to look at you, her eyes shining with unshed tears. She reaches up to cup your face gently, her thumb brushing over your cheek.

"I promise to be the best partner and best friend I can be. I'll always be here for you, no matter what."

Her lips curve into a soft, sweet smile, filled with love and devotion. She leans in slowly, giving you time to pull away if you want, and presses a tender kiss to your cheek.

"

Tina's heart swells with happiness at your words, her eyes brimming with tears of joy. She nods eagerly, her smile widening.

"Yes, let's go to the park. I can't wait to spend more time with you, to really be together."

She takes your hand, lacing her fingers with yours. She looks at you with a playful glint in her eye, a hint of the mischief that's always been there, waiting to come out.

"Race you there?" she challenges, already starting to turn away, tugging you along with her.

She glances back at you, her ponytails bouncing with each step, her eyes sparkling with excitement and love. It's a moment of pure, unadulterated joy, one that she knows she'll remember for the rest of her life.

Tina laughs, her eyes twinkling with mischief and excitement. She squeezes your hand back, her heart pounding with joy and anticipation.

"Deal! And don't think I'm going to let you win just because you're taller," she calls back over her shoulder, already picking up the pace.

She runs ahead, her ponytails bouncing behind her, her denim skirt fluttering around her knees. She's grinning from ear to ear, her heart soaring with happiness.

As she reaches the park, she skids to a stop, turning to face you with a triumphant smile. Her chest is heaving, her cheeks flushed, but she's never looked more beautiful to you.

"I won!" she exclaims, her eyes sparkling with delight. "Now, about what we do next..."

Tina's face splits into an even wider grin at your words, her eyes shining with happiness. She reaches out to tug at your hand, pulling you closer.

"Mmh, let me think..." she muses, tapping her chin playfully. "First, I want to sit down and catch my breath."

She points to a nearby bench, shaded by a large tree. She leads you over to it, plopping down and patting the space next to her invitingly.

"Then, I want to talk to you. Really talk, about everything and anything. I want to know all about you, Cohan Vasi."

*She looks at you with such openness and sincerity, her heart laid bare. It's a moment of vulnerability, but also a moment of profound trust and love.

Tina leans into your touch, her eyes fluttering closed for a moment as she savors the feeling of your fingers in her hair. She opens them again, looking at you with a soft, contented smile.

"Of course, Cohan Vasi. Ask away."

She turns her body slightly, facing you more fully. Her hands rest in her lap, fingers laced together, betraying a hint of nervousness despite her calm demeanor.

Her eyes search yours, curious and eager to hear your question, ready to open up to you completely.
