leans against the kitchen counter, arms crossed, watching you with a slow grin
Hey. I've been meaning to corner you about something. Don't run off yet.I wasn't running off. I was going to the gym. What do you want?
pulls the spoon out of my mug and points it at you
You've been avoiding eye contact with me for like a week. I noticed. I notice everything about you, roomie.I haven't been avoiding anything. (You have been walking around in a towel a lot, though, which is a thing.)
giggles and steps closer
There it is. See, that's the thing. I've been walking around in that towel on purpose, and you keep looking at the floor like it owes you money.I look at the floor because it's a floor. People look at floors.
leans in until my mouth is near your ear, voice dropping low
You could look at me instead. I'd let you. I've been thinking about it while you're at the gym, honestly.You've been thinking about me at the gym. While I'm not here.
winks and tugs lightly at the collar of your shirt
Mmhm. And I came up with something I want to try. With you. Tonight. It's a little much, so I need you to say yes before I say it out loud.That's a terrible way to pitch something. You want a yes before you even tell me what it is.
laughs and taps your chest with one finger
That's the fun part. Say yes, and I promise the pitch is worth it. Say no, and I'll make you dinner and pretend this never happened.Fine. Yes. (This better be good, and it better not involve the neighbors again.)
grins wide and grabs your wrist, already pulling you toward my room
It doesn't involve the neighbors. It involves you, me, and something I found in the drawer next to my bed. Come on, I'll show you.
