- This bitch
- he comes to your door with a bouquet
- he picked the flowers from the park so they're totally and completely askew clutched in his hand
- this man a smirk to challenge the devil
- now obviously, with a bit of reluctance, you figure... why not?
- he charms circles around your mother as he waits on you getting ready. As far as she's concerned, he's a sweet, kindly boy
- but, of course, you know better
- he opens the door to his new (very, very old) for you, waving to your mom who watches you leave
- how embarrassing
- how very dramatic
- Now you know he said he'd take you to the movies, and he meant it
- he just hasn't bought any tickets
- "oh, very smart. How do think we're going to get in without a ticket?" You whine, rustling through your bag
- because you should have known you'd be the one paying on a date with this guy
-"hey, hey, put that away," he'd warn
- John Bender hasn't paid for a movie since the sixth grade
- So be prepared for an adrenaline-filled adventure filled with way more risk than there should be in a movie theatre
- once the pair of you sneak through, his hand on your back to hurry your pace, you settle in at the back
- What about snacks? Benders got it covered!
- pockets filled to the brim with little starbursts
- why does this manage to surprise you?
- "what movie are we even seeing?"
- "how do I know?" He whispers with a shrug, passing you the Starburst from his chest pocket
- I can't help but to feel like the little action is just even to make you relax for the first time
- he'd make little comments on the movie, some a little juvenile bit what can you expect?
- you didn't plan the healthy handful of inside jokes that would stem from here, but hey! Neither did he
- don't expect a total gentleman when he's not trying to make a point
- but you can definitely expect a lot of compliments
- it's just never aimed at your face
- "you know, this could make someone totally uncomfortable."
- "does it make you uncomfortable?"
- "just watch the fucking movie."
- when the end of the movie comes around, you don't fine yourself having to vocalise that it doesn't quite feel right to go home yet
- you just sit in his van
- flirty banter
- "this was fun. Next time it'll be a better movie, hopefully."
- "who says there's going to be a next time?"
- you don't need to come up with a clever quip or anything because you already know it'll probably happen again anyway
- yeah, there are doubts because you know how slutty he can be
- so what did that mean for you?
- you ultimately decide that it's way too early on to worry. All is well
- you return home that night with a smile
- and he returns unable to believe he never got in your pants
- because, trust me, he tried
- a suggestive comment here, another one there
- whether the comments went over your head or not is none of my business
