Hey!

Look at this.

Strawberries.

You love these, right?

Yeah, but they're kind of expensive today.

So, it's not like we're buying caviar.

Get them.

You deserve strawberries.

You're in a weirdly good mood today.

I'm just happy.

Grocery shopping with my boyfriend?

Feels like we're living together or something.

We kind of are, though.

You've been sleeping over every night this week.

Guilty.

But I make good coffee in the morning, so I'm a keeper.

Mmm, debatable.

Rude.

But okay, how about I cook dinner tonight?

You...

Cooking?

Wow, the disbelief.

I can cook.

Ish.

You made toast and called it brunch.

It was brunch.

It had avocado.

Half an avocado.

Fine, you win.

I'll chop things and you can do the real cooking deal.

Hey.

Hmm?

Stop smiling at me like that in public.

It's embarrassing.

Why?

You're cute when you get flustered.

I'm not flustered.

Your ears are red.

Shut up and grab the pasta.

Yes, chef.

Anything for you.

Don't say it like that.

People are looking.

Let them look.

I've got the hottest boyfriend in aisle four.

There he is.

Took you long enough.

Sorry, they made me stay late.

Again.

What, did your manager forget you have a life?

Apparently.

I almost just slept under my desk.

Mmm, tempting, but...

Not as comfy as my passenger seat.

It's warm.

Smells like you.

That's either cute or concerning.

Bit of both?

You hungry?

Starving.

But I figured we'd eat at your place?

Yeah, I was going to drop you.

You've got leftover pasta, right?

The one with the sausage?

Yeah.

And garlic bread?

Yeah.

Perfect.

So, You're just assuming you're coming home with me?

I mean...

Not that I mind.

I.. no, I just didn't even think about it, I guess.

Because you always do?

Yeah.

I didn't mean to sound like I...

I like that you assume.

Really?

Yeah.

Feels like...

You're mine that's embarrassing but true Maybe I'm too comfortable.

You make it sound like that's a bad thing.

I don't want to take you for granted.

You don't.

You sure?

You asking for reassurance or fishing for compliments?

Little of both.

Thought so.

I like going home with you.

I like when you do.

Cool.

Then keep driving.

Yes, sir. So?

I was thinking...

Breakfast at that new cafe, then maybe hit the farmer's market after that.

we could take the train out to the coast, walk the boardwalk, get ice cream.

Sounds nice.

And if we time it right, we can watch the sunset before coming back.

You're awfully quiet.

You've just been nodding at everything I say.

100

You even heard half of it?

101

Probably.

102

Most of it.

103

Uh -huh.

104

Okay.

105

What do you want to do tomorrow?

106

Honestly?

107

Honestly.

108

Stay home. with you.

109

That's it?

110

Yeah, just...

111

You.

112

Couch blankets.

113

Nowhere to be.

114

You know you could have said that earlier, right?

115

It's dumb.

116

It's not dumb.

117

You've always been like this.

118

Like what?

119

A total cling machine.

120

Wow, romantic.

121

Hey.

122

I like it.

123

So tomorrow is officially a stay home and cuddle day.

124

Is that an actual holiday now?

125

Yeah.

126

Starts at midnight.

127

Ends...

128

Whenever we feel like it.

129

Okay.

130

I'm in.

131

Good.

132

Now, come closer, we should practice.

133

Hey...

134

Can I come in?

135

What's in the bag?

136

first I'm sorry.

137

For what I said earlier, It was.

138

childish and I hate that I hurt you. And yeah.

139

I brought cookies.

140

Cookies?

141

You think that fixes it?

142

No, I don't.

143

I just...

144

Didn't know what else to do.

145

I wanted to show you I was sorry and...

146

This was all I could come up with.

147

You really treat me like a kid sometimes.

148

That's not it.

149

I just… I messed up and I wanted to make it right somehow.

150

Words didn't feel like enough, so...

151

Cookies.

152

You could have just said sorry.

153

I did, but sorry still felt too small.

154

And you matter more to me than that.

155

You always sound like you're in some drama.

156

Maybe.

157

But I can't stand it when you look at me like you don't want me here.

158

I couldn't just sit and wait.

159

Persistent, aren't you?

160

Only with you.

161

Look, I don't expect you to forgive me just for this.

162

But I'd feel worse if I didn't at least try. So, Please.

163

"You're ridiculous." Completely ridiculous.

164

I know.

165

Give me one.

166

Really?

167

Don't make me repeat myself and wipe that look off your face.

168

I'm not smug, just relieved.

169

Truth is, I was trying to figure out how to apologize too.

170

But you got here first, so...

171

Thanks for making the first move.

172

So, We're good.

173

Yeah, we're good.

174

But next time don't try to bribe me with chocolate.

175

No promises.

176

Hey, I missed you.

177

What's that pause supposed to mean?

178

Nothing.

179

You're laughing.

180

I'm not.

181

You are.

182

I can feel it in your shoulders.

183

What's so funny?

184

It just hit me.

185

Hit you with what?

186

Back then, you used to cry all the time.

187

I'd carry you on my back to calm you down.

188

Yeah?

189

And now, Look at us, no tears, just you holding on to me like this, as my boyfriend.

190

It just made me laugh thinking about the difference.

191

I was trying to set the mood.

192

You completely ruined it.

193

Hey, that's not what I meant.

194

I wasn't crying all the time, you know.

195

And I carried you once, too.

196

You just don't remember.

197

Once.

198

Out of a hundred times.

199

Keep talking like that and I'll climb on your back right now.

200

make you carry me home.

201

Don't you dare.

202

I mean it.

203

I can still do it.

204

You'll break my back.

205

Then stop complaining or get ready.

206

Unbelievable!

207

You're turning my romantic memory into a thread.

208

You started it.

209

Make it up to me.

210

Say something romantic.

211

What?

212

Right now?

213

You know I'm not good at that stuff.

214

I can't just come up with it like you do.

215

What I want to say is...

216

You're really...

217

Ah.

218

Damn it.

219

I mean, you get it.

220

That's enough.

221

See?

222

That's romantic.

223

You just say it without even trying. And me?

224

I can't even get a sentence out.

225

That's why I like you.

226

Cheater.

227

Man, I forgot how salty the ocean air gets.

228

Feels like it's already on my lips.

229

You're exaggerating.

230

It's just a breeze.

231

Oh come on, don't act like you don't feel it.

232

You used to complain every time we came here when we were kids. Did I?

233

Yeah, you'd say it made your hair feel weird

234

and you'd rub at it like crazy until your mom told you to knock it off.

235

You remember way too much.

236

Of course I do.

237

It's you.

238

You were so dramatic.

239

Says the guy who got sunburned every single summer.

240

Ouch, low blow.

241

I'm still scarred from that aloe lotion you slathered all over me.

242

You asked me to help.

243

Don't twist the story.

244

Yeah, but you smeared it on like you were punishing me.

245

My back felt like it was on fire and ice at the same time.

246

And yet you survived.

247

Barely.

248

Barely, huh?

249

Big words for someone hanging onto my shoulder so he doesn't sink in the waves.

250

I wasn't hanging on.

251

Just...

252

Leaning.

253

Right.

254

Totally different.

255

Still, it's kinda nice having you close like this again.

256

The ocean, the sun, Feels like we're kids, but...

257

Not really.

258

Yeah, not really.

259

Back then, I never got why you'd just sit quiet and stare at the water.

260

Now I think I do. And... And...

261

Maybe I just like watching you more than the waves.

262

You always drop lines like that out of nowhere.

263

What, you don't like it?

264

Didn't say that.

265

Good, then I'll keep saying it.

266

Every summer if that's what it takes.

267

Idiot.

268

That's fine, I'll be your idiot.

269

Come on, let's get in before the water gets cold.

270

Alright, here we go.

271

No excuses this time.

272

I'm winning.

273

You always say that.

274

Because it's always true.

275

Hey, don't push the wrong button again like last time!

276

That was you, not me.

277

No way.

278

I saw it.

279

You panicked.

280

You always talk too much when you're losing.

281

I'm not losing.

282

Look, I'm way ahead. For now.

283

Oh, confident today, huh?

284

Fine.

285

Let's see who's laughing in 30 seconds.

286

We'll see.

287

Yes, yes.

288

Go, go, go.

289

Keep it up.

290

Ha!

291

Got you again.

292

Total victory!

293

You're way too smug for someone who barely won.

294

Barely?

295

Please, that was a clean win.

296

And you know what this means: I get a prize.

297

A prize?

298

Yup, winner gets whatever he wants.

299

And I want...

300

10 kisses.

Hey!

308

310

I was joking.

311

It was supposed to be funny.

312

three.

313

You're unbelievable.

314

315

Five.

316

317

Maybe.

318

You know what?

319

Forget the game.

320

You already won.

321

Hey.

322

You awake?

323

Not really.

324

Thought so.

325

You always mumble like that when you're half asleep.

326

Warm.

327

Don't move.

328

You're the one glued to me, you know, my arms going numb.

329

You can handle it.

330

Wow, so bossy first thing in the morning.

331

Just five more minutes.

332

You've been saying five more minutes since we were kids.

333

Remember when your mom had to drag you out of bed for kindergarten?

334

Don't bring that up.

335

What?

336

It's cute!

337

Some things never change.

338

You never change either.

339

Still loud in the morning.

340

Better than sulking in silence.

341

I don't sulk.

342

Sure, you're just...

343

Thinking deeply with your eyes shut.

344

Maybe.

345

You know, I like mornings like this, even if you act grumpy.

346

I'm not grumpy.

347

Then what's with that pout?

348

Because you're staring...

349

Can't help it, you're right here!

350

Idiot.

351

There it is!

352

The laugh I wanted.

353

Okay, I'll let you sleep a bit longer.

I almost froze to death.

364

You didn't complain.

365

405

This is embarrassing.

406

Good.

407

You're even cuter when you're embarrassed.

408

So what do we watch tonight?

409

Movie, series, documentary.

410

You make it sound like we're at a buffet.

411

Too many options.

412

That's Netflix for you.

413

Endless choices, zero decisions.

414

And you always go for horror, then end up hiding behind a pillow.

415

Hey, that's not hiding.

416

That's strategy.

417

Gives me a reason to hang on to you.

418

Sure, let's call it that.

419

And when I pick a rom -com, you say I just want to see you roll your eyes.

420

Because you totally do.

421

Well, quiet movies aren't safe either.

422

You just fall asleep halfway.

423

Wait, hold on.

424

That's you, not me.

425

Then why am I always the one shaking you awake?

426

Alright, fine.

427

Fair.

428

Fair.

429

That's all you've got.

430

Alright, then pick something we'll both stay awake through this time.

431

Or, we just skip the search and call it "Netflix and Chill".

432

You know what that usually means, right?

433

Of course I do.

434

Question is, are you running away from it?

435

Not sure I want to.

436

Good.

437

Because I don't either. So...

438

We're not pressing play, are we?

439

Guess not.

440

Honestly, this is better.

441

Yeah, better, but don't blame me when we get nothing watched.

442

Then don't blame me when you never let me hit play.

443

Yeah, I know.

444

Now get over here.

What is the Shadowing Technique?

Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
