PIPER

I slowly leave my room and make my way downstairs , it's 4am and I haven't been able to sleep. Theo fell asleep a long time ago, I wait for my popcorn to finish popping and open the microwave at 00:01 seconds.

"Bingo," I whisper to myself.

I walk downstairs to the game floor and go to the theatre and sit down in the second row. I kick my feet up to the first row and turn on 'Thor', I start to eat my popcorn as it plays.

As the openings play I hear a sound, my head snaps back but I see no one there. And it's dark.

"Theo, I swear to god if you're there then you better pray for your face, because I will beat you the fuck up. Don't think I won't," I say.

I don't hear anything back so I go back to my movie, then I feel two hands on my shoulders.

"Surprise motherfucker!" Theo screams in my ear making me yell and jump up from my seat.

"You fucking asshole!" I scream as I throw a punch to his nose.

"Ow, that hurt," he groans holding his nose.

"Good, that's what its meant for," I say sitting back down.

"What are you watching?" He asks sitting beside me.

"Thor, but it doesn't start until I get another bag of popcorn," I say pausing the movie.

"Really?" He groans.

"Yes really, and weren't you supposed to be sleeping?"

"I was, until I heard your fat footsteps on the stairs," he says making my jaw drop.

"You're such a dick," I say getting up, acting petty to see what he'd do.

"Get back here."

His hand grabs my hand and pulls me back down, but instead of learning back on my seat I fall down on his lap, my face right in front of his.

"I woke up becau-because I got a call," he says. Not taking his eyes off my lips.

"Nice to know," I whisper looking at his lips too.

His hands rest on my hips as mine rest on his shoulders, we both look up at the same time and make eye contact. We both start leaning in slowly.

"I'm goi-going to make more popcorn, want anything?" I ask just as our lips were about to touch.

"A bottle of wine," he whispers back.

"Alright," I whisper then get up from his lap and go upstairs.

What the fuck? We were going to kiss if I didn't speak up, it might've even gone further if I didn't talk. I bite my nails as I wait for the popcorn to finish, thinking about what just happened.

I get two wine glasses and pour wine in one of them, I chug it down and pour another one. Once the popcorns done I realize that I can't carry everything. I hesitate before calling for Theo.

"Theo!"

"Yeah what's wrong?" He asks coming up the stairs.

"Help me carry this down," I say and he comes and takes the bottle of wine along with the glass and I take the popcorn. Taking one more wine bottle just incase.
