Baby Steps

"This is me. Thank you for the ride," Jumoke said to Uchenna as they got to the front of her apartment.

"You're welcome," Uchenna replied. He didn't want the night to end just yet, but he didn't know what to say to make her stay, he was still watching his steps with her, he didn't want to say something that will scare her away. Baby steps. He thought to himself as he came down from the car and came around her side to open the door for her.

"Didn't have to," Jumoke said as she came down from the car. "Thank you."

Uchenna flashed her a smile, "it's fine. Goodnight Jumoke."

"Goodnight Uchenna."

Uchenna waited until she had gone into her apartment and he saw the light in her living room come on before he got back in his car and drove home.
