Is It True? (Kristanna) EDITING

Chapter 3

As we sit here in the dark theater, the movie slowly begins to become muffled, background chatter as my mind soon checked out from this world and flew to another.

Man, this still feels surreal. I mean... he's right here next to me... I begin to slowly lower my head, until the soft fabric of Hans's shirt comes into contact with my skin. Oh my goodness... My mind temporarily stops processing the world as I take a deep breath in, relishing in his scent. He's perfect. Handsome, sweet, athletic, and just an angel. After admiring from afar, I never thought I'd actually get to date him. I mean, I've always placed him on this high pedestal... and I've always thought that I'd never be good enough for him, but here we are. In a movie theater. Sitting next to each other...

A warm and happy feeling courses through me as I feel something grazing over the top of my hand. My eyes gradually look down to see his hand on top of mine, making my heart flutter. We stayed like this until the end of the movie, when he slowly shifted, and I took that as my cue to sit back up again.

"That was nice." Hans looked at me and gave me a smile, still keeping contact between our hands.

"Yeah, it was." I smile in return, gazing at his beautiful facial features.

We stayed here for only a few moments longer due to the fact that Hans's phone began to ring. He quickly pulled it out from his pocket, looked at the caller ID, then looked back up at me. "One second." He smiles apologetically before answering the call and putting the phone up to his ear. "What do you want?" His kindness that was dripping from his voice when he talked to me was gone, and he didn't seem happy. "No, I'm busy." I could see his eyes glance towards me, but he stayed facing forward. "I said, I'm busy... Listen, I know what you want from me, just not tonight, okay?" His tone grew slightly softer, seeming to be resolving the conflict. "Thank you. Bye." The end to the conversation was quick, and he was sure to hang up before anything else. "Sorry about that." He smiled at me once again.

I can't help but shake my head and smile at him. "You're fine, I completely understand."

He stands up and pulls me up with him, due to our connected hands. "Well... I ought to get you home now." A slight tone of disappointment was obvious in his words.

"It's barely even 10... we can stay out just a bit longer, don't you think?" I make the suggestion, never wanting this night to end.

He chuckled at my suggestion. "I never took you to be the rebellious type, Anna." He began leading me out of the theater, a smile stuck to his lips. "Nah, I've gotta get you back. Elsa would never let me take you anywhere if I got you back late."

"Well... that's true." A minuscule sigh of disappointment escaped myself. "Then I guess we've got to go..." By now, we had made our way outside of the theater and were in the front of the parking lot.

A slight, and unexpected, tug on my hand was all it took to send me flying into the muscular arms of my date. I was in shock as I looked up at Hans. He placed a hand on my cheek. "I love you." Before I could return his affections, my voice was muffled by a remarkably soft... object?... Wait... Those are lips, so that must mean...

HANS IS KISSING ME!!!

My body entered into a stage of shock as Hans's kept me standing, but soon, I was returning the kiss as best I could. His lips were so soft, and so were his hands, but boy oh boy... I could barely remember how to breathe. My brain decided to take a vacation at the wrong time, but I must've been doing something right or else he wouldn't still be kissing me... right? I mean, how long- Shut up! Just enjoy it! And enjoy it I did.

After what felt like years, Hans pulled away from me, leaving me a love struck mess. I manage to squeak out, "I love you too," before hiding my face against him. Though I was trying to keep myself from blushing, the fact that my face was now pressed against a rock hard and muscular chest wasn't really helping. But I sure didn't mind.

I could hear him laugh at my embarrassment, but I soon felt his hands running through my hair. "You're so funny Anna."

I pulled my head away from him and tucked my hair behind my ear. "Sh-shouldn't we be headed back?" My face was still beet red, but I was trying to be somewhat responsible by trying to remind him that I needed to get back.

A small frown appeared on his face, and his arms dropped to his side. "Now you want to leave? I thought you'd want to stay even longer because of that..." He said in reference to our fantastic kiss.

My mind quickly rushes to correct myself, but the jumble of thoughts dashing in and out of my brain weren't helping. "I-Its not that I want to leave, I mean, I'd love to stay, but honestly, it's kinda chilly, and Elsa's waiting-"

"I know," His gentle tone began calming my thoughts. "I was just playing around." As he
spoke, a mixture of... of... something could be heard. It wasn't an emotion that I had familiarized myself with, so I can't quite put my finger on it. It wasn't totally carefree and happy, like the phrase should have been, but it seemed... forced almost.

I force myself to stop looking too deep into the tone of his voice, knowing that I was simply overreacting. "Lets go." My hand snatches up his and I take the initiative to lead us to the car.

~•~

"Thanks for such an amazing night." I muttered while looking down at my hands, trying to hide my crimson face.

A strong hand reaches up, but only the index finger makes contact with my chin. Gentle force makes me raise my gaze to see his handsome face smiling down at me. "There's plenty more in store for us."

As we gaze into each other's eyes, I feel as though we're slowly getting closer. "Well, I wouldn't mind more days like this. Where I'm always happy, with you by my side..." I trail off at the end of my sentence as I finally realize how close we actually are. Hans doesn't seem to mind, because he's the one moving closer to me.

"And I'm always happy with you." He closes his eyes and hurriedly crashes his lips against mine. I kiss back momentarily, but I promptly remove myself from him, remembering that we're just outside of the door to my dorm room. Which also means Elsa may be listening in on our conversation...

"I've gotta go..." I quickly turn around, now facing the door. My hand latches to the door knob and I begin to turn it, but before opening the door, I pause. "I love you." I manage to sputter out before throwing open the door and launching myself inside.

I was about to smack myself by making them say I love you on the first date, but then I remembered that in the movie they literally get engaged within 24 hours of knowing each other... so I'm actually taking it pretty slow here.
