Pov Sage

Meri parks the car in front of the cinema. "Which movie?" I chuckle. "Cheese cookie monsters 3" he grins. I shake my head laughing and get out of the car. Meri does the same and we walk inside together. Meri walks to the girl behind the counter. "hey, I had reserved 3 for cheese cookie samples for 2 people," he says. She looks at him flirtatiously. Meri sees it and pulls me towards her. "Can me and my girlfriend have the tickets," he says. She looks from me to Meri and then quickly grabs the cards in shame. Meri takes them and we walk away. "The usual again," Meri chuckles as we stand in front of the cash register where we can get food and such. I chuckle and nod. Meri orders it and we go to the hall. "These are the chairs," Meri says as we stand somewhere in the middle of the room. I sit down and quickly put my phone on silent.

I really hate horror movies. 1 word jump scares. Grrr. I close my eyes for a moment. I hear Meri yawn and look at him. He yawns and stretches his arms and then wraps one around me. I chuckle and snuggle up to him. He looks at me. His eyes bore through mine. He slowly comes closer and then plants his lips on mine. I freeze a little. I never really kissed before last time. I think I'll kiss him back. I actually have no idea what I'm doing. Even with Fox I never kissed or anything. Meri chuckles. He takes my face between his hands and places his lips softly on mine again. "You're starting to get it," he says, grinning. I teasingly push him against his arm and plant my lips on his again. I don't want to continue watching that movie. Meri smiles and kisses me back.

Luckily I didn't see much of that movie. We walk outside. Meri puts an arm around my neck and pulls me towards her. I chuckle and wrap my arms around his waist. "Good movie," he grins and puts his hands on my hips. I nod. "Very good movie. Much better than part 2 and stuff" I chuckle. Meri smiles. I smile back and rest my head on his chest. He lays his head on mine. Maybe this isn't so bad after all.

We drive home. Meri parks the car and gets out. I do the same. Meri walks with me to the front door while he keeps a hand on my lower back. I stop at the door and look at him. "Good night" he smiles and presses a small kiss on my lips. "Good night," I say. He walks to his house and takes another look. Why is it only now that I notice that he's really nice?

"I'm home again" I shout. "Heyy Sage did you have fun?" she asks. I feel the heat rising to my cheeks and nod. She chuckles. "Nice. And oh yeah, before I forget. Tomorrow night I won't be at home for a long meeting and working overtime, so I'll sleep over at a colleague's house near work. You can stay with Meri or ask him to come here," she says. I nod and walk towards the hallway. "I'm going to sleep and trust," I say. She nods. I walk upstairs to my room. When I open the door I see Meri already sleeping in my bed. I shake my head laughing. I quietly change and crawl into bed next to him. I lie on my side. The mattress wobbles a bit. Meri puts an arm around my waist in his sleep and subconsciously mumbles "my girlfriend" and then snuggles against me. I smile, close my eyes and fall into a deep sleep.
