180 days with my crush

I checked my phone again to track the date's location. Ademide had organized a double date with his girlfriend, and under different circumstances, Aderemi and I would have arrived together. But with my school workload pressing, Aderemi had agreed to go ahead without me, after I'd explained that I didn't want to keep our hosts waiting. I promised to join them as soon as I finished. 


Since our intense encounter, he'd become exceptionally attentive, showering me with care and going out of his way to ensure my comfort. Initially, I wondered if the texts he'd seen had prompted this change, but I didn't mind the reason – I was just grateful for the shift. Despite our efforts to maintain a civil facade, the air was thick with unspoken desire. Even a casual touch, like when his fingers brushed against mine as he handed me a cup of tea, sent shivers down my spine. It took considerable willpower to resist the urge to act on my desires.
