Movie Date

For some reasons unexplained, he didn’t touch her. They were in the cinema. She was the hot chick of the season, flavor of the year, goddess of a select few pretty faces. And he was an ordinary type of nice guy, in most senses a constant lover boy. And then, inside, nothing happened. He just stared at the screen, half absorbed in the movie, Beach, and half absorbed in the cheese popcorn. She started leaning her head on his shoulder so as to hint that she wanted something new to happen but each time a strand of her hair came to his sleeve, he’d pull away and away. She had been expecting for him to make out with her in their seats, to take that road which secret swains often take when alone. Dude, that was the chance! But as the film tore through and through, the stiller he got, the more bored she became, the less the possibility of kissing appeared. It seemed unlikely that he’d put the make on her as the credits rolled down; by then, he’d start snoring. And he did. She wanted to terrorize him by getting her hand under his pants. She has started spidering her fingers on his denim pants, tiptoeing around his hormones; after all, there’s only so much two hands can accomplish in a situation like this. She started tickling his belly and found the shallow pierced well, which she started caressing. He then roused in an instant, jabbed her fingers away in a way a spanked child would. He iced himself, bouncing away in his velvet cushion. He looked vulnerable, violated, like a baby that only has a ballpoint pen as a protection against a full grown wolf. It took every bit of her strength to understand what was raging on his mind. Particularly, this question declared war inside her: Why in the first place did he ask her out? And why in the world did he seem as glad as hell when she accepted? She wanted to bawl and demand logic from him. She glared at him continuously only to evince a faint guilty smile on his face. Then, without caution, she stood up and walked out of the theater. She only learned she was selling herself short to this guy. He wasn’t worth her one hour’s time. She’d dump him the very next day.
