Zander took off the mask and took in a breath of fresh air. When he turned around he saw Stevie wringing her hair out, he was surprised how much water her hair could hold.
"You don't happen to have a towel?" Stevie asked leaning forward so her dry change of clothes wouldn't get wet.
"Nah," Zander sighed and shrugged.
"Really?" Stevie asked lifting her head up to look at him, only to see nothing but her hair covering her face.
"I only provided you with a change of clothes and welcoming arms!" Zander yelled but in a lighthearted spirit, Stevie knew he was kidding.
"Yeah well you didn't provide me with a bra and underwear!"
"I never said you had to keep them on!" Zander went a little too far in his banter; Stevie flipped her hear back, got up, and punched Zander hard in the arm. Stevie doesn't like statements demeaning to women. "OUCH! Stevie I was joking!" He rubbed his arm where a bruise was starting to form.
"Well my parts are all wet!" She said, not realizing the obvious innuendo in her sentence.
"That's what she said!" Zander laughed at his out-of-date joke that would've been said by anyone around. Good one Zander. Good one.
"Shut up." Stevie hit him again. "I think Kacey has some hair products lying around, I'll look for them."
"What should I do?" Zander whined like a five year old.
"I don't know. Put something on the TV or something." Stevie waved him off while she searched for the hair products.
"Fine," Zander huffed picking up the remote.
Stevie continued looking, came upon a closet door, and walked inside. She saw the light in the middle and tried to turn it on. It wouldn't so she walked back to the door, which had been closed, but it was stuck shut. '
"Stevie, there's nothing on!"
"Zander there are over a thousand channels, I'm sure there's something on!"
"No, the power's out! There is NOTHING ON!"
"Oh." Stevie realized that she couldn't see a thing, surprised it didn't occur to her that she couldn't see two inches in front of her. "Zander I think I'm stuck." She was stuck.
"Stuck where?" Zander yelled back, not getting off the couch and looking straight ahead as if there was still a TV to look at.
"Behind some a door!"
"Which door?"
"I DON'T FREAKING KNOW BECAUSE I CAN'T SEE! NOW GET ME OUT OF HERE!"
"Okay, Stevie, calm down I'll help you." Zander took out his phone, turned on the flashlight app, and started his search. Stevie was banging on the door to clue Zander as to where she was. "I'm coming!"
Stevie tried to find a light in the closet. She found the string and yanked it a few times. It didn't turn on. She kept trying to turn it on but nothing happened. It was pitch black and she was stuck in a closet. On top of all that, her hair was wet and gross.
"Zander, the light is burnt out I can't see a thing!"
"No no no, the power's out."
"UUuuuugh!"
"Stevie everything's gonna be fine," Zander found the door and opened it, "Got it!"
"Thanks. Can I borrow your flashlight?" Stevie took the phone right out of his hand, "Thanks again." She winked but he couldn't see.
"What are you doing?"
"Looking for a hair band or a rubber band at least." Stevie remembered what she was looking for, a makeup bag with a pink, cursive K engraved on the front. When she found it, she opened it and dumped it out on the ground. "Look at all these hair products!" No one ever thought Stevie would ever be that excited about styling products. She put some in her hair and then pulled it back.
"Now can we get out of this closet, it's weird?" Zander grabbed Stevie's arm and pulled her out of the closet.
"Are there any candles or something we can light?"
"I think there are some scented ones left over from Kacey's failed attempt at a romantic date with Dean," Zander laughed at the memory, Kacey went through so much trouble for a guy that wouldn't know romance if it kicked him in the face. Zander remembers that because of the fact that he had to buy all of the candles and Dean was too good for the cheap ones. He lit a few and put them around the couch.
"So… Now what do we do?" Stevie awkwardly asked, it's not the most comfortable thing to be in a room lit only by candles intended for romantic purposes, nothing to do, and the only person you're with is your best friend of the opposite gender.
"What do you want to do?"
"I don't know what do you want to do?"
"I don't know."
"Well I don't know either!"
"Okay, obviously saying we don't know what to do is not helping us figure out what to actually do so let's figure something out!"
"Zander, since you are so full of bright ideas why don't you think of something!"
"FINE!"
"Fine."
Both of them didn't say much for a little while. Stevie just looked at Zander with raised eyebrows until he broke the silence, "Well it's hard to think with so much pressure put on me!"
"You are an idiot!"
"I thought you said I was the one with the great ideas."
"Shut up."
