Saturday morning was a blessing. I didn’t have to be anywhere or do anything. I felt better after getting a great night’s sleep. I rolled over and stretched and saw how late I had slept in. Suddenly, I remembered the events of last night, and my hand involuntarily moved to my lips again. Will had kissed me. He had held me and made me feel so much. I felt a longing inside of me that I had never felt and found myself wanting to see him today. Would it be weird if I just stopped over? What would Celia think? Maybe I could come up with some excuse to work together today. I’m sure there was something related to the play that we could deal with. What if his father was there? I laughed out loud at myself. There was no way I could go over there without looking like some crazy stalker. Besides, how would I handle that kiss? It didn’t seem like I could just ignore it. Instead, it seemed as if we had crossed some important threshold, and there would be no turning back. Maybe he would bring it up first. Regardless, I couldn’t deal with it today. Calm yourself down, I coaxed internally. I didn’t want to sound desperate, did I? My crazy adolescent girl crush would just have to wait until Monday to see him. I would have to find other ways to occupy my time.

Book in hand, I went down to the kitchen to scrounge around for some breakfast and tea. I would simply spend the day lost in a good book. I added some water to the teapot and turned on the stove, only to be interrupted by a soft knock on the door. The perfect silhouette of Will Bradley was standing in my doorway. My heart paused briefly, and I waited for it to jumpstart before I answered the door.

“What are you doing here?” I hadn’t intended it to come out so harsh. I was just surprised to see him so early. It had been late when he left my house. “I mean, hi,” I recovered.

“Hi, uh… I need to talk to you. Do you have time? Are you busy right now?” He seemed a little on edge. Nervous. His hair had flopped onto his forehead, and I wanted to reach out and put it back in its place.

“Do you want to come in?” I offered, but becoming embarrassingly aware of my pajamas, I wrapped my robe tighter around my body and slid further behind the door leaving only my head looking out. I must look like a mess! I hadn’t even showered yet!

He looked up at me nervously.

“Actually, maybe we could just talk out here.”

“Um, sure. Can you give me just a minute?”

I shut the door before he could answer and turned to run down the hall to grab a coat or something that I could cover up a little more. My cami and shorts set was a bit too revealing. I walked calmly back to the door, avoiding the mirror.
