The Plan

Chapter 8

TAYO

Weeks fly by so fast as I slowly woo Tobi. I don't think he notices that I know he is attracted to me. I feel him when he watches me when I'm not looking. I feel him look away and murmur softly to himself.

I've been spending my weekends with him. We mostly hangout in his apartment. Watch movies, play video games, or watch anime.

Being with him has brought me so much peace. Anytime I'm lost in my head, I hit him up and he brings me back to the world. I talk to him about my characters and ideas i plan on working on.

I watch his reaction as he listens like I'm the only one on earth that matters. I ask him for advice and he gives me when he can.

Sometimes he just watches me as I ponder on things then smiles when the idea pops in my head.

It's been getting super hard to hide what I feel for him. I don't think I'm in love yet but I want more. I feel the sexual tension every time we run out of things to say and stare at each other.

It's like he's always waiting for me to make a move and I know he gets disappointed when I don't.

To be honest, I don't know why I haven't done it yet. A little part is just scared that maybe I'm reading it wrongly.

I've finally found someone I'm comfortable with and I'm afraid that one wrong move and it'll be all over.

Tonight, we're supposed to meet at my place. I plan on cooking for him. I'm wondering whether I should make jollof rice when he calls that he's on his way. He sounds weird and my protectiveness kicks in.
I ask him what's wrong but he says he's okay.

Two hours later, the food is ready and Tobi is nowhere to be seen. I call him and he doesn't pick. As I'm redialing, a knock on my door stops me.

I open up and see it's him. He looks tired and anxious about something. I let him in and then he pounces on me.
