As Time Goes By (edited)

Nora was looking for Luke because Calum was pestering her yet again.

"We can go bowling."

Nora continued walking. In a lapse of judgement during lunch eariler that day, she agreed to go on a date with Calum. She was regretting it already.

"Or we can go get ice cream." Calum was on his 5th idea in the past 20 minutes.

"How about we find someone to open the door and talk about this later." Nora was still walking through the isles at a faster pace than normal.

"But you said that earlier. It's later now." Calum pulled a roll of film and read the writing on the cover. He tapped Nora's shoulder to show her.

"Why are you touching that?" Nora was actually getting pretty annoyed with Calum right now.

"Well what am I supposed to do?" Calum was confused.

"Put it back."

"Make me."

They stood there, staring at each other. Nora suddenly realized how close they really were to one another.

"Mrs. Franklin told me a while back that she didn't want to see me making out in the isles so I thought I'd let you guys know." Luke interrupted both of their thoughts.

"Oh we're not..." Nora didn't know what to say.

"We're just two people going to watch Casablanca and cuddle." Calum smirked, putting his arm around Nora.

"Sure." Luke smugly walked away, leaving them alone again.
