The sound of her alarm made her jump. She looked at the time, it was 9:30am.
"Oh fuck HES GONNA BE HERE SOON" she yelled.
She immediately ran to the restroom to wash her face and brush her teeth. She fixed her bed and rushed to the living area where she set up her TV on Netflix. They were going to watch Zombie films back to back, with bathroom breaks and stretching breaks of course. She had brought out a bottle of wine and some chips she had saved in her closet for a moment like this.
She sat patiently on her couch and twirled her braids nervously. Her palms were sweaty and she was short of breath when finally she heard a knock on the door. She rushed to the door and checked the peep hole only to see who she was looking for.
She opened the door and saw that he had brought a tiny succulent plant and some more chips. She leaned in for a hug to welcome him but he stuck his hand out. Then they switched positions only making it more awkward. Finally she went in for a hug, and sniffed him slowly. He smelled very nice, very sharp and clean.
"I'm so glad you could make it" she smiled
"I'm glad you invited me" he said back.
He was clearly nervous because of how he walked in. They were the same height but his shyness made him seem smaller.
"Make yourself at home, Aaron. I'll start the movie right now unless you'd wanna talk before hand while drinking some wine"
"Wine? Isn't it a bit too early for that" he scratched his head
"It's never too early!" She chuckled
"Well alrighty then" he smiled and made his way to the couch.
She rushed behind him and jumped next to him. As they were sitting down she poured two glasses of wine and handed one to him.
"So... what made you think I wasn't the murderer" she asked jokingly
"Are you kidding? I definitely thought you were a murderer, but I wouldn't mind being murdered by such a pretty girl" he winked at her.
She nearly spat her drink out. She was like a robot malfunctioning to simple flirting. They spent about two hours sipping on wine and talking about murderers and crime. The energy both of them had was nice.
At some point she served herself more wine as well as him. She eventually started the movies, but not before ordering pizza. One for him and another for her since he didn't like pineapple on pizza.
Time flew by quick, they had already watched two movies and a half and decided to take a break. They were both a bit over buzzed, but that didn't ruin anything. They just had their fun.
