“Ooh, the suspense!” Liza exclaimed.

I stared at my phone as if I could will his reply to come faster. When a couple minutes went by, my confidence started to deflate.

“Look out the window, see if he’s home?”

I found myself standing up and stretching before casually walking to the window and looking out.

All of the lights in Leo’s house were on, so it took me a second to focus on the light I wanted, and as soon as I found it, I froze. His light was still on, his blinds were still up, and he was sitting on his bed, looking at his hands. I couldn’t see what he was holding, but I didn’t have a lot of time to look because his head lifted and, stunned, I dropped to the floor.

“Oh my God.”

“Did he see you?” Liza screeched.

“I don’t know!” Shit. “He’s going to think I’m a total creeper, staring into his window.”

“You are a total creeper. You’re like that guy in that Jennifer Lopez movie, The Boy Next Door.”

“Stop it, I am not.”

“You are. All sexually worked up over him. You’re so creepy, Scarlet.”

“Stop it.” I started laughing because she was being very convincing even though we both knew she was lying.

“Oh wait, even better—Swimfan. You even have her crazy eyes down pat.”

“Stop!” I held my stomach as I laughed.

“You should poke your head up and see if he can still see you.”

“Right, because my giant head creeping up a window to look at him is not creepy.”

“I didn’t say it wasn’t creepy, I just said you should do it. For laughs.”

“You’re such a great friend.”

“I know.” She scooted down the sofa so she was closer to the window and had a better angle, being further away than I was. “Okay, he’s not there.”

“Thank God.” I lifted my head and—to my chagrin—met his eyes right away, since he was now standing at his window, looking directly at us. I rolled away from the window and couldn’t stop the laugh that bubbled out. “You liar!” I laughed-yelled pointing at Liza. “You’re going to make me paranoid to ever look out my window again.

Liza flopped onto her back onto the sofa. “You should have seen how you reacted. Perfect tuck and roll, Scarlet. Ten points.”

“I hate you sometimes.”

“No you don’t,” she grinned at me, as I sat on the floor, my back to the wall. A chime alerted me to my phone on the coffee table and I crawled to it, too afraid to stand up and have Leo see me yet again.

“He replied,” I said, swiping my phone open and began reading it aloud.

Leo: Come over in the afternoon sometime.
