Y/n and I decided to see some Adam Sandler comedy movie. I took a quick shower before I picked her up. I also took the book and the small frog rings that had arrived yesterday and put them in my backpack.

"Where are you going, Rodrick?" My mom asked me as I got my shoes in the corridor. "And why do you smell good?" She smirked at me. I already knew what she was thinking. "Are you going out with a girl?" Mom got all excited and happy, so I told her. It's not like I was ashamed of anything. "In fact, I am, mom."

Susan shrieked for a second but calmed down instantly since she knew I hate how she makes a big thing out of everything. "Ok, ok...and what is her name?" I checked my phone for the time then looked back at her. "Y/n. And no, we are not dating..." I opened the front door and walked towards my car. But before the front door closed again I heard my mom say something like "He definitely likes her, he's all dressed up." Rolling my eyes at that comment, I turned on the engine and headed to y/n's.

I noticed y/n's cool and simple outfit. A pair of baggy jeans, a tight top, and my löded diper sweater jacket over it. The jacket really suited her. Y/n opened the van's door and hopped in beside me. "Hey, Rodrick. How are you?" She asked me friendly and buckled up. "I'm good, now you're here." Y/n giggled at my witty line.

Before we went into the movie theater y/n admired the city lights in the dark. "I love going to the movies at night. Especially, leaving the cinema while you're still comprehending the film." I could totally relate to what she was trying to tell.

Inside the building, we bought a big bucket of popcorn and two drinks. I wanted to pay for everything but y/n didn't let me, so I paid for my drink and the popcorn. "We are not a couple, idiot." Y/n laughed and walked towards the theater.

We sat in one of those couple seats where there's no border between them. "Well, that's funny." I chuckled which made her smirk. Within the movie, y/n got closer to me and lied her head on my shoulder. I leaned back and enjoyed the moment. For the fact we were not a couple, she was very cuddly and close. I swung my arm around her shoulders to pull her closer.

Every now and then our hands touched while we grabbed popcorn at the same time. I always pulled my hand out of the box so she could get some popcorn before I did.

The movie was pretty good. I couldn't really tell since I haven't been focusing on it. The only thing on my mind was 'is y/n uncomfortable in my embrace?' and 'do I smell? I did take a shower so I shouldn't smell...'. It shouldn't bother me that much but I wanted her to feel comfortable and cozy when she's near me.

I was looking at y/n while I didn't notice that the movie was already ending. She looked up and caught me staring. Y/n smiled at me and sat up. Her body warmth leaving me was kinda upsetting.

Walking out of the theater and breathing the fresh air felt so relieving. We ran across the street and walked to my car. I didn't want the night to end so I asked her if she wanted to go eat something with me. "Sure." She said as she checked her phone. "Curfew is not until two hours."

"How about Pizza?" I asked her while starting the van. "Ouhh, sounds great." I drove to a pizza place near the cinema. It looked very retro. Like it was from the 90s. Y/n really liked it so we sat in front of each other in a cute booth. We ordered one pizza for both of us since we already ate popcorn.

Y/n looked very beautiful in the led lights through the window. I took a quick picture of her which she noticed after I took it. "Why are you taking photos of me?" She shyly and quietly giggled while hiding her face on the table. "I don't know. You looked good in those lights. Just look-" I showed her the picture and she agreed. "Let me take one of you too."
