Cold in LA

Chapter 11

Jonah's point of view

We are about half way into the movie. It's pretty good so far, just the perfect amount of scary.  I look over and see Grace with her hands over her eyes looking terrified. I chuckle a bit to myself.

I lean in close to her and whisper, "Hey you okay?"

She slowly moved her hands away from her face and looked at me.

"Y...eah" She says with a shaky voice.

I lift up the arm rest and pull her closer to me.

"Are you scared?" I ask her as she curls up into my chest.

"I don't like scary movies, not at all." She whispers back.

Grace's point of view

Jonah pulls me closer to him, his smell overwhelmed me. It feels so right to be in his arms, like his arms are my home. He makes me feel comfortable and safe. Having him hold me feels like we are puzzle pieces that fit perfectly together. When Mason held me it never felt like this, with Mason it was always cold and distant. That's when it hit me, Mason. I just ended my relationship, I can't be thinking about Jonah in that way.

Jonah's point of view

I held Grace this way for the rest of the movie.

"That was a good movie!" Corbyn said as the credits started playing.

"Yeah that was awesome!" Jack agreed.

"What did you think Grace?" Daniel asked her.

"It was good." She lied to them, I won't tell the guys she was scared. I think she is embarrassed, it's so cute. The credits are over and everyone is leaving, now just our group is in the theater.

"Race you to the car!" Zach yells and runs to the doors.

Jack, Daniel, and Corbyn chase after him. Right as Grace was about to run too I grabbed her arm.

"Hey wait I gotta tell you something." I say as she turns to look at me.

"What's up?." She looks up at me with her big (your eye color) eyes.

'Okay here I go' I think to myself and take a
deep breath.

Grace's point of view

Jonah stopped me from running after the guys.

"Hey wait I gotta tell you something." he sounds like he is trying to hide how nervous he is.

"What's up?" I say.

He takes a second then steps closer to me. Before I know it he has his hands on my cheeks and is pulling our faces together. The thoughts I had about being with Jonah raced through my head.

'No I can't do this, it's too soon!' I think to myself.

I pulled my face away from his right before our lips touched.

He looks at me with a confused and sad mix across his face.

"Jonah...I can't...it's just too soon." I struggle to find the words to say to him.

"W..what? But we just had a moment. I thought you felt the same way?" He says, sounding confused.

"I'm sorry Jonah." I say and walk out of the theater and walk to the other guys.
