Casablanca
JENNIE
"Hi." Lisa greeted me when I was approaching her car. Didn't let her open the door for me since I can do it on my own.
"Hello. I watched your interview earlier and it was so fun!" I told her and I can see smile in her face. The smile she used to show me before. And God, she is still wearing the band shirt and ripped jeans that make her so hot.
"It was crazy, but I had fun." She said and started to drive.
"So, where are we going?" I asked.
"Let's get some take out and anything you want. Then we'll be in a drive-in cinema tonight." She said.
I chuckled.
"Our dream date when we were young but never happened." I said.
Yes. We really wanted to experience to watch a film from the big screen and we're just in the car eating and drinking.
"Yeah. You still remember, huh?" She said.
"So, is this a date?" I asked.
"Hmmm. I don't know. Maybe let's enjoy this moment?" She said and I nodded.
Yeah. This is not a date. I shouldn't have asked. I look stupid now.
We grabbed some pizza, fried chicken and cans of beers.
When we arrived at the drive-in cinema, she opened the back of her car and prepared our food. We also settled there and waited for the movie to start.
We're seated three feet apart while we eat.
I took a can of beer and opened it.
"You drink?" She asked me.
"Yeah. We're 25, Lisa." I said.
"O— okay. I just didn't expect. Because you used to hate the bitter taste of it before." She said.
The movie started and I really love this film. I watched it before but I love to do it over and over again.
"I didn't know Casablanca would still be this interesting in 2020." She said.
"Well, black and white films have really this nostalgia, right?" I said and she smiled.
I rubbed my arms because I can feel it's getting cold.
"You feel cold? Wait let me check if I got a jacket."She moved a little and peeked on the backseat.
"Oh. I'm sorry. Don't have one." She said and sat back on her place.
"It's okay. Don't worry." I said.
I was focused on the screen when snow is starting to fall.
My eyes widened. My world is like moving into slow motion while the snow falls slowly to the ground. My eyes become teary.
"Are you okay? The scene is not even..." She said.
"Yes. It's so romantic. It's snowing. I mean, we have snow in Korea but never in my life I expected this to happen. You know, snowing while watching a film in a drive-in cinema. It just warms my heart." I said.
She moved closer to me and I was surprised when she snaked her arm at my back and held my waist.
"Warms your heart but you feel cold. Come here."
She said.
I leaned my head on her chest while she rubs my arm.
I feel warmer.
"Lis, I am nervous. It's my first time to be naked in a film." I said.
