Don't Go Crankin' My Heart

Chapter 2.2

~20 minutes later~

I turn off the water of my shower and open the curtain, steam spilling out everywhere. I loved taking showers. I washed my hair, conditioned it, used a hair treatment, a body scrub, a moisturizing body wash, and shaved. "Ahhhh '' I said aloud, it felt so nice to be so fresh and clean. I wrap myself in a purple towel before taking my phone from my bathroom counter to check it. "In Rainbows' ' had finished playing and Weezer's "Pinkerton" album started playing. Sweet. And, I got a text from Ethan! " *5 minutes ago* Hey Mav! I'm just about finished with my homework, heading over soon!" I smiled to myself after reading his message. I checked the time on my phone before setting it back down, it was 7:05. I quickly moisturize my whole body, using my favorite vanilla and lavender-scented lotion. I put some leave-in conditioner in my long, dark locks before twisting it back and securing it with a deep green hair clip, it matched the color of my orbs. I spritz some of my favorite perfume before heading into my room to grab some clothes. I open my dresser and grab a matching set of lace panties and a bralette, black in color of course. Why was I picking out some of my cutest lingerie? Nothing was going to happen...I blush at my thoughts and continue to grab clothes. I close the drawer and open another. I took out some gray sweat shorts and long socks that had bananas on them. I'm a little quirky like that. I head over to my closet and grab an oversized My Chemical Romance T-shirt. I throw my clothes on and sit down at my vanity. Moisturizing my face and neck. Then I lightly do my eyebrows and apply some mascara.

Feeling refreshed, I trot to my kitchen to get myself a crisp glass of ice water and a small snack before heading back to my room, lighting a scented candle in my living room along the way. I decided to lie down and relax some before Ethan got here. Before laying down, I part my curtains and crack my window for a slight breeze. I'm met with sounds of pitter-patter. It started to rain, perfect! I look into the distance and see dark clouds forming. It was going to storm soon too, I loved it. I light another candle in my bedroom before laying down in bed. I lay surrounded by my many pillows and blankets. I check my phone again, still no response from Ethan. I sigh, grab my T.V. remote and turn it on, going to YouTube to find something to watch. I scroll through my feed and see that CrankGamePlays, Ethan, posted a video not too long ago. I click on the video and begin watching. He was playing Five Nights at Freddy's 4, one of my favorite games in the whole series. I giggle at his jumpscares and soon I'm drawn into the sound of his voice. I stare at Ethan in the playthrough, losing track of what's happening in the game, I was lost in his ocean eyes. My phone suddenly pings, snapping me out of my trance. "Mav! You idiot, it's a video! You're being wooed by a video!" I grunt to myself, disappointed in my simpness once again. I grabbed my phone, it was Ethan. "I'm heading over now! be there in 10" He said. I looked out my window, it was starting to rain a little harder. "Okay, be careful!" I text back. He responds within seconds, "lol of course!" he said back.

"10 minutes!" I squealed to myself. I was so excited to finally hang out with Ethan. I set my phone back down and continue to watch YouTube. I hear the rain start to fall harder and harder, that storm must be coming in. I grab my phone to check the weather radar and see that it's going to rain like this for a while and then storm all night. "Ah, love it," I whisper to myself. The minutes roll by and I finally receive a text from Ethan. "I'm here! I think!" I squeal and leap out of bed, I pause my video before running to my staircase, throwing my crocs back on, and practically leaping down the steps. I take a second in front of my front door to take a deep breath to maintain my cool, before unlocking the door and opening it.
