This particular walk seemed as if it would take forever. For reasons unknown, Rotimi seemed cold, but at the same time, closer than ever. Something was about to happen. Something big. We arrived at my house and I invited Rotimi inside so that we could do our homework together. He gracisouly, and surprisingly, accepted my invitation. He walks in the door and takes off his shoes like the true gentleman he is. We walk over to my kitchen table and set our stuff down. I offer him a drink and he takes a glass of cold water with minimal cubed ice cubes. He was funny about that, always wanted a certian amount of ice cubes in his drink.
We sit down and begin our studying. It was getting dark and he should be heading home soon. My parents should have been home a long time ago. All of a sudden out of nowhere, the power shut off turning everything black. I could no longer see Rotimi even though I could feel him next to me. My cell phone rang, it was my parents. They informed me that they would have to spend the night in town because of the power outage. Great just what I needed. All alone in the dark for the whole night. But then.. "Hey do you want me to stay here until your parents get back?" Rotimi askes me in his ever so sexy voice. "Y-Yeah that would be ok I guess, but my parents are staying the night in town" I exclaim. I couldnt see his facial expression but I feel like I could see him smiling, like some plan of his was all coming together. But how could he have planned something so extravagant?
"Well, I guess that I will have to stay the whole night" For once, I was silently thanking whoevers fault it was for this outage because if not for it, he would have seen my ginormous smile and tomatoe red blushing. I try to speak without showing excitement in my voice. "okay" I say, trying to sound as relaxed and laid back as possible. But I am not so sure that he fell for it. "Im gonna have to run over and get some stuff, okay?" He tells me. I nod. He leaves the house with minimal trippage and begins his journey back home to get whatever boy stuff he needs. oh my gosh, do you think he is getting... I hope so, because if he is, then it implies that fact that he too likes me and sees that he has a chance with me.
During the time of his absence, I search the house for candles and matches.I find a few but surley not enough to light up a whole room. I hear a knock on the door and yell, "Who is it?" Rotimi answers. I go and open the door for him only to find that he has an armful of candles and lighters. Awesome. I take some of the stuff from him and help him carry it inside. We place all of the items down and begin lighting candles. One by One the room starts to get light enough, so that I can see Rotimi's face. His beautiful, dark, mysterious, soft, face. Oh how I wish I could hold that face close to mine. I have to restrain myself from thinking these thoughts if he will be spending the night. This was going to be a long night.
