Chapter 15

Adley

Tildy did eat most of her mac and cheese so, true to my word, we did the board games. We did the ice cream, and then I turned on a movie. I took the big chair and Steph and Tildy took the couch. I think they were both asleep within the first twenty minutes of the movie.

I click the movie off and debate about going for a blanket. I’m pretty sure that upright for Steph and in a tight little ball for Tildy isn’t a very comfortable or healthy way to pass out for the night. I debate waking them up or carrying Tildy to my bed, but I don’t do that either. Instead, I just watch them.

They’re beautiful. Even in strange sleeping positions. Even with Tildy’s mouth gaping open. Even though Steph would probably be really embarrassed if she knew I was watching.

I watch them for so long because I’m a little bit scared that this evening wasn’t real. It was such a great evening. Just like the other night with Steph. Just like every single time I’ve been with her. I have fun. I feel good. I can just be myself. Yes, I fight that, but it’s there. All that goodness. That’s why it’s so scary. The more memories you build, the more real something becomes.

I nearly leap out of my chair when my phone goes off on the armrest. I have it turned down, but the sound still scares me. It doesn’t wake up Steph or Tildy. I glance at the text from Mandy.

She says that she’s feeling better and she’d like to know if she can come pick Tildy up because she forgot about her dance lesson tomorrow morning and it’s early. I tell her I’m good with her staying or dropping her off early in the morning. She lets me know that she can’t butcher my Saturday morning that way.

After that, I wait. Mandy is at my door in twenty minutes. She buzzes, and that wakes up both Steph and Tildy.

Steph looks around, adorably bewildered, but then she smiles shyly, slightly embarrassed, like I knew she would be. I don’t know why some people find knowing another person boring. I already knew how she’d react and that makes me feel wonderful. I know this person. This person is special to me and I already know some of her quirks and expressions. I think that being with one person for a long time is something special. Something rare. Something beautiful. I don’t find that boring at all.

After a very sleepy Tildy is bundled off, still wearing my t-shirt, her pretty dress and shoes tucked under Mandy’s arm, Steph approaches me at the doorway. “I can go,” she says. “It’s pretty late.”

That’s about as clear an out as I’m going to get. She means it. She’s not trying to pressure me. She’s not trying to force something to happen that I’m not ready for. God, I might not be ready, but I want it. I want to kiss her.
