"Just do it, just knock." Salecia thought as she approached Christopher's door.

Knock, knock

Salecia stepped back and waited for a response.

"One second, I'm coming." Christopher yelled from inside his house.

He opened the door and smiled as soon as soon as he saw Salecia's face.

"Hey stranger." He said as he leaned against the doorframe.

"Hey Q." Salecia said while smiling broadly at him with her hands behind her back, rocking forward and backwards like a small child in a way that Christopher found cute.

"Have you finished reading it already?" Christopher said with surprise in his voice.

"You know how it is when you have a good book-"

"You just can't put it down." Christopher finished with a smile on his face.

Salecia look down and felt her face go warm.

"Not that I don't enjoy your company, but did you want to tell me something?"

"Oh, um, yeah. I was wondering if you wanted to come with my friends and their boyfriends and I to dinner." Salecia said rubbing the back of her neck.

"So like a triple date kind of thing." Christopher said with a raised eyebrow.

"Yeah, but you don't have to come if you don't want to, I just thought-"

"Whoa, whoa." Christopher interrupted. "Of course I want to come.

"Oh, cool." Salecia said, looking at the ground once again. "I'll text you the details."

"Pinkie promise." Christopher said, holding out his right pinkie yet again.

"Seriously." Salecia said with a raised eyebrow.

"Hey, a pinkie promise the most legitimate foundation of trust there is." Christopher said with a pout.

"Fine." Salecia said as she sighed with defeat. "I pinkie promise." She said as they interlocked their pinkies.
