he shut the door behind us and looked at me, giving an awkward chuckle. we both knew meeting people off tinder is always weird, especially with the added sexual tension. “is it okay if i sit here?” i asked, motioning to the bed. he nodded as i sat and took off my shoes. looking back up at him, i giggled. “it’s your room, you know, you can sit next to me if you want to.” his face broke into a smile and he asked, “do you want to watch something?”
we laid down next to each other, his laptop open between us. after about 10 minutes of watching tv, an ad came up. i glanced over at him, curious to see if he would make a move. his eyes caught mine and he turned to look at me. there was this energy in the air of waiting to see what would happen. we both wanted the same thing, but didn’t know how to initiate. after a few seconds of looking at each other, trying to see who would make the first move, i thought to myself, “fuck it.”
