Chapter 21: Pt2 Mistake 'II'

While Luke continued to explain his confusing relationship with Amanda, something suddenly clicked in my head; to feel like that was starting to sound like more of a counselling session than a hangout. Immediately, I hastily covered his mouth to prevent any more words to be spoken by him - it caused him to stop talking as he stared baffled by my sudden action. I took a deep breath before I explained my reasoning.

"Look, you called me for a hangout today where we will watch a movie together, and suddenly it already began to turn into a counselling session which seems weird to me," I paused as I release my hand from his mouth and instead, intertwining it with his on the side of his body. "If you don't mind, let's just forget about what I asked and let's just go watch a movie," I suggested, now dragging him swiftly towards the centre.

"Okay, but you don't have to-" "Shh, you're ruining our moment," I cut him off, not looking to see his astonished expression.

"Our moment," He repeated my words.

As we continued to walk, I shifted my head back, smiling at him.

"You said it was a date," I tried to cheer him up. "So let's not feel sappy or think of those thoughts," I suggested before turning back to guide him.

"That was your fault," I blamed Luke as we strolled inside the cinema theatre.

The theatre had dim light - enough for us to see where we're going besides the lights outlining the pathway - while Luke was guiding me to our seats whilst I swiftly observed the seats to see not many people; most were couples. Before coming inside we bought popcorn and two large drinks.

"Hey, it wasn't my fault if you bumped into me when the guys and I were running away from that teacher," Luke defended himself, walking up the stairs.

"Yeah, it is," I fired back, "And even worse, you didn't apologise," I pouted.

I soon stopped when Luke prevented me from moving further, turning to see me pouting which caused him to chuckle.

"What?" I questioned him.

"You're just too cute," Luke answered before moving aside and gesturing to me to go first.

Hearing him complimenting me made my heart leap, leaving me to venture in first - feeling my cheeks become increasingly warm. "Shut up," I mumbled before sitting down on my seat that was next to the wall. Looking forward, I could already see that we were high enough to almost observe couples that were spread far away from each other. I turn to Luke (who already sat next to me) placing his drink in the cup holder and clutching the popcorn; making me copy his actions before shifting to face him again.

"So what movie are we watching? I didn't read the ticket," I requested.

"The movie that we're watching is 'Divine Right of Kings'," He answered, staring at me.

"Ooo~ I was planning on watching it with Lance and James next week," I revealed to him, looking around to see that the lights were fading out as the screen soon glowed with visuals.

"Well, I guess I was too quick for them," Luke quickly whispered in my ear before I faintly heard him moving to lean back on his seat.

As we waited for the movie to start, we both began to talk about the ads that were playing as well as other trailers that seemed interesting to us.

"Woo, that seems like a good movie to watch too," I suggested, leaning towards him.

"Let's go and watch it together sometime," He suggested while I chuckled lightly, "Sure, maybe next time you should watch it with someone else," I told him.

I hear him scoff. "Why should I watch it with someone else when I can be here watching it with you," He whispers.

I mentally laughed at his words. However, the laugh in my head faded when I felt his breath scraping the side of my face. Slowly gazing at him, my breath immediately hitched as I noticed his face so close to me while I stared at his eyes which stared back. My mind wanted me to move away from him, but my heart was in control this time (and stayed put) as it led to me observing his lips. I unconsciously bit my own. Hearing the movie commencing we both continued to stay like this as I averted my eyes to his own - which now averted to my lips.

"My eyes are up here," I teased.

His eyes instantly moved back to mine - the urges of kissing him and calling him hot out loud is getting harder - I didn't even realise that we were slowly leaning closer towards each other silently.

"And why would I want to look deep into your eyes?" Luke said.

I shrug, "I don't know, you tell me," I teased more.

He chuckles deeply before answering with a husky tone. "Because I'm scared that if I continue to do so, I'll drown, falling deeper for you,"

The urges that I was feeling - what we were both feelings - were already at their peak as we immediately closed the gap between us; locking our lips with each other. My hand held his cheek, whilst feeling his hand resting on my exposed thigh.

We both were in this heated moment that we didn't realise that we were like the other couples that also made out secretly.

Sparks between us began to fly, my heart leapt with joy, my blood rushed through my veins as I felt myself become flustered with my cheeks becoming warmer. Though, my mind told myself that I should stop - that he has a girlfriend - I didn't want to stop. As it felt so right. We both broke apart, taking heaving breaths that were covered by the movie that was playing in front of us, however, ignored it as we glimpsed into each other's eyes with passion before closing the gap once more - satisfying our urges with the kiss.
