Literally my Diary

Mamma Mia

I've always loved the movie Mamma Mia. It held a special place in my heart because I've watched it with my mom the first time when I was a kid. Also the situation with her dads and mom I could really relate with.

It was such a feelgood movie for me.

I arrived at the cinema early. I sent Levy a message asking him if he wanted a Limo as well. Of course he did. I said hi to my colleagues and stepped behind the counter to get our drinks. Just when I put lemon slices in as a final touch I saw Levy walk up to the counter. I jumped up to him and threw my arms around him.

"Hiiiii!!!!"

"Hi, how you doing?"

"I'm HYPED. Do you want Popcorn? Sweet, salty? I personally always go for caramel mixed with salty."

Levy looked intrigued.

"Yes, let's do that."

"Okay, let me get it ready for us."

I skipped back behind the counter and got our popcorn ready.

We took our seats and chatted through the trailers until finally the movie started with Amanda Seyfried performing 'I have a Dream'. I lipsynched most of the songs and Levy seemed thoroughly entertained.

When the scene came on where Sophies Mom helped her get ready for her wedding and they sang 'Slipping through my fingers' a tear rolled down my face.

I leaned over to Levy and whispered:

"This song always makes me so emotional because I have to think of my mom and how this is exactly her perspective. I really love my mom..."

"Oh Charlieeee..."

He pulled me in for a hug and I rested my head on his shoulder for a moment. Why did I book us a bench seat... I must be delusional if I thought this would work without us ending up in each others arms.

Since we both had some spare time after the movie and it was just 2pm we decided to go for lunch. I already had an idea where I wanted to go:

"We could go to the running sushi."

"Ohhh that sounds good."

"Let me check... Damn they're not open today. Hmmm... Have you ever had falafel downtown?"

"Nope."

"WHAT. Okay we're going."

We made our way there and walked over to a nearby park with our falafel wraps. We chatted about everything and nothing, laughed and tried some handstands on the parkbench.

All the hugs and physical contact raised some concerned thoughts in me though. I took a minute to consider if I should say something and finally gathered the courage:

"Hey... do you wanna talk about all this cuddling or were you just planning to just go with it and not make it a topic?"

"Uhmmmm... kind of the latter."

"Okay. I just wanted to like... give you the opportunity. I don't know."

I was still a bit confused and unsure uf it was a wise decision to bring it up. I pushed it off my mind again and when we said our goodbyes the sun was already setting.

The next day we had our cinema staff summerparty. We met in a cute little restaurant that tried to recreate the vibe of being at a beach in spain but really you were just across the industrial harbour of town. Somehow it worked though.
