"Go on knock." Ashanti said impatiently.
Salecia balled her right hand into a fist and knocked on the door with 62 written across it. She hesitantly knocked on the door and anxiously awaited a response.
"One second, I'm coming." A male voice yelled.
"What do I say? What do I do? What if he-" Salecia rambled.
"Oh, hey," said a pretty handsome guy wearing a nervous smile running his hand through his sandy blonde hair.
Salecia could have sworn he was blushing, but assumed that she was mistaken because of his tan skin. He had since changed out of his earlier clothes and was wearing cuffed dark blue drawstring pants with a gray Adidas sweatshirt with a red Adidas sign in the middle.
"Uh, hi." Salecia waved awkwardly. "My name is Salecia Johnson and this is my best friend Ashanti Blake. We live just across the road and we heard that there was a new neighbor so we decided to come and say hi and welcome to to the neighborhood." Salecia smiled genuinely. She felt herself being strangely attracted to him, she thought that it was because of his good looks and slightly dopey nature that was kinda cute.
"Oh cool, I'm Christopher Morris. I moved here just this morning actually." He said while leaning against the door frame with his arms crossed against his chest.
"I'm sorry, I have to go my friend just texted me to go meet her and I totally forgot." Ashanti lied to give Salecia alone time with Christopher. Ashanti mouthed to Salecia "good luck."
Salecia gave her an annoyed look and then looked back at Christopher.
"S-so do you still want to come in or um, you don't have to you can-" Christopher rambled.
"Yeah, that sounds cool." Salecia said with an unexpected grin that made its way onto her face.
"Cool, he said." A small grin spread across his face as well, showing a dimple on his left cheek.
"Oh, before I forget. I didn't have time to buy a housewarming gift but I got you some chocolate." Salecia said, smiling and waving the Favorites box side to side.
"Aw, thanks you shouldn't have." Christopher said with a smile still on his face.
Neither of them had realized, but they had both been smiling since they had come in contact with each other a few minutes ago.
Christopher's house had a sort of rustic theme that Salecia found really pretty. On his bookshelf sat an array of fantasy, romance, supernatural and mystery books. Salecia smiled and ran her fingers subconsciously on the spine of one of the books Paper Towns. It was a book that Salecia had wanted to read for a while, but between work and home stuff, she hadn't gotten around to going to a library and borrowing it yet.
"You can borrow that if you want, you know." Christopher said from behind her holding bowls of ice-cream and strawberries.
Salecia quickly put her hand down and smiled with an embarrassed look on her face. "Oh, uh, sorry. Are you sure you wouldn't mind if I borrowed it?" Salecia asked still smiling bashfully.
"Yeah, sure." Christopher said, waving his arm around. "I've read it a few times, it's a great read I'm sure you'd enjoy it." Christopher said while setting down the bowls and turning on his TV.
"Thank you Christopher, this is great because I was planning to go to the library and it doesn't really fit into my schedule, you know." Salecia sighed.
"Call me Chris." He said as he flopped onto the couch. "What do you want me to call you?"
"Whatever is fine." Salecia responded, trying to sound as cool as possible.
"Margo it is then." Chris said grinning happily
"Where did Margo come from?" Salecia said with a hint of playfulness in her voice.
"You'll get it soon enough." Chris said playfully.
Chris patted the spot next to him and gestured for her to sit.
"Uh, Ashanti is probably expecting me and-"
"Come one, just one movie." He said, pouting and holding up one finger.
She looked at him and smiled. "Okay, okay." Salecia said, giving in to his pout.
"But no funny stuff." Said Salecia said. "Whenever a guy says Netflix and chill it never ends well." Salecia joked.
"Okay, I pinkie promise." He said while holding out his right pinkie. "Well don't leave me hanging." Christopher said with false hurt.
"What are we five?" Salecia said, smiling with her arms crossed across her chest.
"Yes, I am five for your information." Chris said playfully.
"Fine, pinky promise that Netflix and chill will not end up as Netflix and children." Salecia smiled
"Deal." Christopher laughed.
