It was hard telling even Levi, but eventually she was able to say it all. Even if it was all in one breath at least she got it out. "You know how I set you up with Levi and I said we'd all go and hang out?" She started out with a question and moved on before Samira would be able to reply. "Well I thought I'd come along too in the beginning so that he wouldn't be suspicious then I'd leave." Which actually wasn't completely true. She was planning on staying behind a corner or something when she "left", but eh details, details.
"But I came late." That's what foiled her plans. "You guys were already there and I had just come from the lake. I wanted to leave as soon as I got there, but the only way out was to go past you guys and I didn't want to ruin your moment." Even though she sort of did anyways. "And well... I decided I sit and wait until you both left which I figured wouldn't be too long because why would you hang out in the corridor together... But I think I'm allergic to dust or something... And I sneezed. Twice." And she heard it. It made Levi pull back into the kiss he was about to give Samira. "I'm really really sorry! I wanted to leave as soon as I came, but the only way to the common room was to go past you guys and oh I'm just really sorry Samira! You're my best friend and I don't want you to stay mad at me forever." She'd wait for Samira's reply and then went to go grab the flowers.
"You know how we learned about flowers with meanings for divination well I got you these." She looked up at Samira and held up the flowers waiting for Samira to respond before she said the meaning of each one.
Samira didn't say anything or reveal anything during Nika's apology speech. It was better if she just got it all out then and there. At the end, she just nodded slowly, not looking at Nika. Trying to absorb it all. All she really wanted was for Nika to admit she was there, and maybe apologize too. And that's what she got. Honestly, Samira
wanted to be mad at Nika...but she just couldn't. Nika looked so sincere and sorry, how could she not understand? When Nika mentioned Samira was her best friend, the Slytherin's eyes widened a little, but she tried not to let her pleasure show.
Finally, she nodded.
"Ok..." she said.
"I understand. And I...forgive you." All she wanted was for Nika to confess that she was there, and she did--plus a little more. That's all that was necessary.
"It was an accident after all." Accidents happen, and Samira would grow to be bitter if she held grudges, which she wasn't. She looked at the flowers Nika was presenting her in surprise. Her indifferent expression was starting to slide off.
"You got these for me?" she asked before smelling the flowers. Wow, Nika must really have felt guilty for ruining the kiss.
"Thanks. And, don't worry, I'll have a chance to talk to Levi again." It wasn't the end of the world.
