18: Continuing to Watch Romance Movies!

KEVIN ROUTE PT. 0.3

"Hey."

I hear a masculine voice suddenly address me as I sit in front of the table in the center of the room, and quickly look up to see Kevin staring down at me and standing with an expectant look on his face—his hand on his hip. I blinked. I hadn't realized he was back yet, but I knew what he most likely came up to me for.

"Uh.. hey." I awkwardly reply. "Did.. did you come to ask me about that one movie we watched together or something?"

"Yeah. Did you finish watching it?"

"Well—yeah. I was real tired when I got back home and still had to write my script too, but I stayed up a little later than I usually did to watch it."

"Geez, really? You could have just watched it when you got back instead of staying up late, ya know."

"Nah, it's fine.. I stay up late all the time. It's no big deal for me."

Kevin pauses, glancing from side to side as if searching for what to say next. "Well, since you finished it, I guess you can give it back to me tomorrow or something—"

"Oh—no. I have it. Here.." I slip out the DVD he has given me last night from a bag I had brought here, and reach out my hand so he can take it. Kevin stares down at me with a slightly startled look as if not expecting that, but his cheeks quickly darken and he takes the DVD copy with a sheepish frown. "..thanks, I guess."

"Uh.. no problem. Heh.."

After a few moments of silence, Kevin appears to think to himself, before awkwardly speaking again as he holds the DVD close to his chest. "I.. I don't really do this kinda thing often, but so you wanna watch one of the other romance movies I have in that closet? I—I have a lot of DVD's anyway, so.."

I arch a brow by the way he fidgets his hands and slightly stammers with his words, but quickly shrug with a lop-sided smile. "Well, I.. don't really have any problem with that. Not like I have much to do anyway." I slowly press my hands against the table to help lift myself up into a standing position, and once I do, I dust myself off.

"Ok—Okay, good." Kevin mumbles while crossing his arms, as if relieved I didn't say anything other than yes. I can't help but wonder why he seems so relieved about it though.

After noticing me staring at him a little, he let's out a sheepish sigh. "C'mon, let's just go to the closet so I can find the movies."

When we finally make it to the closet outside of the club-room, Kevin begins to chatter with me while shuffling his arms inside of the interiors of the closet. "So.. what'd you think of the movie I gave you?"

"Uh.. well, it was pretty sweet actually. I found myself laughing at a few parts. I think—"

"Ugh!" Kevin suddenly huffs in frustration, a more angered frown appearing on his face. Confused by his burst of anger, I arch a frown and awkwardly inquire, "..wh—what? Did I say something wrong?"

"No, just.. Ethan again." Kevin gestures into the interior of the closet with his palm. I walk over to see what he's gesturing to, and notice the DVD's from last time have all been moved to the highest shelf. Kevin grumbles, "He probably moved them because of Radfords boss again.."

"Oh.." It wasn't that surprising. After all, if Radfords boss actually used the closet, a bunch of random unneeded romance DVD's inside the closet probably wouldn't be a good look for the theater. I then glance up at him as he folds his arms over the other and tightly frowns. "Can't you reach it? You're pretty tall, so.." I mumble uncertainly.
