Deal

Movie Night

The next morning I was all jumpy and excited. I did not intend to get hyped up because of the date with Edward later on, but I just could not help it.
“R u excited (Yn)?” I checked my phone when I had finished lunch and was chilling in my room. Chloe had texted me.
“Kind of” I did not want to sound desperate.
“Do u think u would kiss tonight? ;)”
“SHUT UP! It’s just a normal night out!!!”
“Haha don’t lie 2 urself, I’ve known u for years, from what u have said u seem well excited”
“Whatever”
“U have 2 tell me every bit of ur date after u come home! But u don’t have 2 tell me tonight… Who knows what will happen! U might be busy LOL”
“I’m not going to talk 2 u I’ll go get changed now :P”
“Make sure u put on some nice underwear!”
“Ugh CHLOE!”
I put away my phone and took out the outfit I had picked out last night. But that did not mean I was so excited that I had to make sure everything was perfect the day before the date. Well, maybe just a little bit.
I had picked out a lacy red sleeveless top, a black mini dress and a short black blazer with some black heels. I made sure I looked perfect and rolled up the sleeves to my elbow before getting back to relaxing on the sofa downstairs.
I was playing on my phone when the doorbell rang. My parents still had not gone out yet, and I looked at the time on my phone – it was ten to three. Edward was early.
My mum let him in, and he looked really gorgeous today – not that he was not beautiful normally, I had to admit – wearing a white shirt and black skinny tie, black skinny jeans and red hightops. His hair hanging above his pretty green eyes casually. And he was holding a bunch of red roses.
Mum flashed me a cheeky smile and mouthed “cute” to me when she walked pass the living room I was in. I rolled my eyes although she could not see.
I stood up, and Edward smirked at me, holding his roses out, “These are for you gorgeous. You look stunning today – well, just like always,”
I thought I caught Dad peeking into the room. The next moment I heard his laugh outside. Yeah, that was definitely him.
I took the flowers and kissed Edward’s cheek, “Thank you, they look beautiful,”
“Not as beautiful as you,” he grinned. I thought I died a little inside, although I was trying my best not to.
Edward looked at me while I was searching for a vase to put the flowers in. He kept wearing this smirk on his face.
“Shall we go now?” Edward asked me excitedly when I had finished fixing up the flowers.
“Sure,” I took my bag on the sofa.
He grabbed my hand and linked his fingers with mine before heading for the front door, “Hey Dad! Mum! I’m going out now,” I yelled.
They came into view, and looked like they were about to leave.
“So are we,” Dad said.
I saw Edward’s car parked on the roadside. It was a black one, and looked nice.
“Nice car,” Dad noted.
“Thanks,” Edward smiled at Dad.
“Well, take good care of my daughter, okay?” Dad said.
“Sure Mr. (your last name), I’ll make sure she’s treated like a princess,” he gave Dad an assuring smile.
“Have fun kids!” Mum said before heading to the garage with Dad.
Edward released my hand and opened the door for me, then went to the driver’s side.
On the way to the cinema, we were having a blast on the car, blasting out to songs on the radio. I had never felt this happy in a while.
Once we had arrived, we went to check out what movies were available. All of them were either horror movies or romance, and after that previous experience, of course I said no to horror movies. So we picked a romance instead.
“I’ll go and buy some snacks, so wait here when you’re finished,” Edward told me when I said I need to go to the washroom.
By now I was really excited involuntarily. I washed my hands and tried to calm down a bit.
When my breathing was somehow normal again, I headed outside and found Edward with a bucket of popcorn and a single cup of large soda.
“We’re going to share a coke,” Edward winked at me. I helped him carry the cup and we went inside the cinema.
Our seats were at the back, which were chosen by Edward. The movie started playing a few moments after we had sat down.
It was pretty normal in the beginning, with us munching popcorn. We even laughed out loud at a few jokes in the movie.
But things started to get awkward when the movie started to get more and more intense. I caught Edward looking at me a few times out of the corner of my eye. We had finished our popcorn, and I noticed we had sat closer to each other in our seats.
I shifted in my seat, changing to another position, and soon after a sex scene came on. I got a bit uneasy with Edward sitting so close next to me, so I reached for the coke. But at the same time Edward’s hand was reaching out for it too, and his hand ended up on top of my hand which was halfway to the cup.
We snapped our head up and looked at each other. Since we were sitting close to each other, our faces were just inches apart. Edward’s eyes were glistering from the light from the screen.
I tried to yank my hand away, but Edward just held my hand tighter. He looked down at my lips, and licked his own lips. Then he looked up again, staring into my eyes. I could feel his warm and quick breath coming out from his slightly parted lips.
I was getting lost in his eyes, and could not pull back nor move away. He looked at my lips again, and leaned closer. He closed his eyes and tightened his grip on my hand the instance our lips touched.
I was shocked and stunned. I could not bother pulling away. Edward’s body shifted even closer to me, and his lips began to move around mine. A few seconds later I ended up closing my eyes and I kissed him back, feeling his soft, plump and moist lips on mine, and his hot breath all over my face.
Edward slid his tongue along my bottom lip, and that was when someone beside us cleared their throat. We quickly pulled apart, embarrassed.
The rest of the movie was awkward. I felt very uncomfortable in my seat. I could not digest what was happening in the movie, and neither could Edward. He could not sit still, and I saw a huge smile across his face. I bet he was thinking that he had succeeded. The purpose of his deal was reached.
But I was getting very confused. Yes, I did like Edward, but I was trying not to fall for him. I was scared that a player like him would break my heart.
The movie finally ended, and we left the cinema in silence. Edward was still smiling huge. He attempted to take my hand when we walked outside, but I pretended to fix my hair. I glanced at Edward sideway and saw him looking confused.
He brought me to a nice French restaurant, and I tried to act normal but not to give him any idea about me falling for him. He seemed a bit on edge and uneasy. I was always not a good actress.
When we had finished our dinner, Edward asked me to wait for him outside a shop because he needed to get something inside.
I stood by the door, and this street seemed to be quite quiet. I could see no one here.
I was looking at this other shop in the opposite and I did not notice people coming close to me. When I finally noticed them, they were standing next to me, all five men with their eyes on me.
They looked a bit older than me, and were dressed like a gang, and three of them even had tattoos which were visible to me.
“Hey babe,” the one standing in the middle looked me up and down, “Why, a girl like you standing alone on the street? Want to have some fun?”
The ones around him grinned slyly, sending chills down my spine. I looked into the shop through the glass, and Edward was nowhere to be seen.
I looked back at the gang, and the one who just spoke stepped closer to me. I started to panic, and wanted to scream, but my scream was stuck in my throat.
