Under the Surface

Chapter 7 | Movie

Genevieve 

Alex: Why don't you come inside? We can watch a movie.

He asked me to come inside and without hesitation; I went forwards and through the door he stood by. My heart was pounding and it felt as if it was jumping outside of my chest. The anticipation made me feel restless and unsteady.

I'd love to, I said.

So, did you eat those chocolates yet? 

Is that even a question? Ferrero Rocher's are my favorite. Thank you again for the chocolates, the card and even the flowers. It was a really kind gesture.

Oh man, I was hoping you saved some for me!!

She paused and rolled her emerald eyes at him.

Him: I'm kidding!  You're my best friend and someone I can't bare to lose. You mean a lot to me. 

She leaned in to hug him once again, being in his embrace made her not only feel safe but warm and gentle and as if she was upon the clouds in the sky; but nothing could compare to Heaven, not even that. 

And even when she was low in her faith the Devil tempting her for her sins; she knew she would stand with God each time.

His body was as warm as a hot summer day and having that feeling made it even more difficult to let go; his heartbeat soothed her because it felt almost as if they were in synch with each other. 

This time they didn't let go for at least a little while.

I didn't want to let go..

I'm so happy you're okay, do you want to talk about it Guen?

She smiled; I'm perfectly okay 

Are you sure?

Absolutely I'm just glad I'm not in the hospital. 

Listen, I know you have episodes and flashbacks sometimes due to your past but know I am always here every step of the way; you mean a lot to me.

She smirked; you always know just what to say.

Hours passed by and the two spent the time laughing and joking around with each other as if their undying chemistry would always be there when they were together. Even parted; they remained strong in their faith with God. Without God there was no relationship at all, as they lived and ventured through him.

So what happened to you and Kelly?

Why do you ask? He winked.

She hit his shoulder lightly, "stop you player!"

Alright alright. She just wasn't the one for me.

Why not?

He throws popcorn at her.

Hey!!! No fair

You're not the only one who gets to brush off touchy subjects.

Touche.

And for the rest of the night they bonded and talked about the unspoken words within them. She was a writer and him a football player; but that was not all they were. They were more than just that.

Until next time..
