Will You Be Mine Again?

Chapter 14

I walked in PVR, hand in hand with Puneet. We had come to Phoenix again to watch a movie. It was March 21, 2014.

"Two tickets for Need For Speed, please." He said in the counter.

"Two tickets. Need For Speed. Seats, sir?" The female staff asked.

"Corner seats will be fine." He said.

"Sure, sir." She smiled and handed him our tickets as he paid.

"I've been waiting for this movie to hit the theatres in India. I love such action flicks involving cars." He said in a bubbly tone as we sat on a couch in the lobby. There was still time for the movie to begin.

"Do you want anything to eat?" He asked, taking my hand.

"It's okay. At this time of the day, I'm not really hungry." I smiled.

"Okay. But tell me when you're hungry." He patted my hand.

Once we took our seats inside, he put on his hoodie.

"Why are you putting it now?" I asked, curiously.

"It's cold." He sneezed.

There was maximum twenty people including us inside. It was a morning show of 9.30. I had actually made an excuse of going out with other girls and came with him.

It was our very first movie together.

For the first thirty minutes, we sat watching the movie with concentration when suddenly, I felt his eyes on me.

I tured towards him and found him staring at me with an intent gaze. I knew the symptom. It was an urge to smooch.

I leaned forward and he did, too. And before I knew, his lips met mine. I felt my hands reaching the back of his head and my fingers had curled in his hair.

He caught my waist and pulled me towards him.

"I love you." I whispered, stopping in between to catch my breath.

"Love you, too." He huffed.

Fortunately, there was nobody on the last row at all. It was only us.

During the small break, he said he would be back and went out.

After awhile he came back, carrying two large popcorn buckets and a bottle of coke.

"Here." He handed a bucket to me. "You must be hungry. It's 10.30 already."

"Thank you. But there was no need of getting so much." I blushed.

"It's okay. Never worry about food or any other sort of things when you're with me." He smiled.

The rest of the movie, we were only eating and watching. Neither of us tried to make any physical contact except holding hands.

After the movie, he took me to the food court and insisted on eating in Domino's.

We sat there, at a table and he asked me what I liked the most there.

"Well, I love their Choco Lava cake." I giggled.

"Will get it then. And what else?" He asked, tapping his feet.

"Umm...anything will do." I said shyly.

"Okay. In order." He left the table and went to order food.

I sat there, gazing around me and hoping not to get busted by anyone from my neighborhood.

He walked towards me with box of a large pizza and a Choco Lava cake. He placed those on the table and took his seat.

"Help yourself." He announced, opening the box of the pizza.

I noticed there were two more small boxes aside.

"What are these?" I asked.

"Oh. You don't know these?" He looked surprised.

"No." I nodded blankly.

"These are Taco Mexicana. Taste yummy!" He answered.

I went to Domino's rarely due to my already fat tummy and I hardly knew what all menus they were adding all day long.

I felt embarrassed. He might think that this girl belongs to an alien background, without the knowledge of modern dishes.

"What happened? Eat." He ordered.

I came back to life.

"Huh? Yeah. I will." I mumbled and took a slice of pizza.

It was some Fiery Chicken pizza with extra cheese. It surely would help me gain more weight.

"Look at your eating habit. Only a slice and a tiny cake, and you're saying that you're feeling full." He said once I denied having the Taco.

"I'm seriously full." I cried.

"Have a bite then. Only a bite." He insisted.

He unwrapped a box and handed me a Taco. I took a bite and the creamy layer of cheese melted in my mouth. The chicken filling was awesome. I cursed myself for a full stomach.

"Done?" He laughed. "You said you'll have a bite."

"Yes." I frowned and handed it over to him.
"Hey, I was just kidding. Have it." He pulled my cheeks suddenly.

"No, I can't eat all these." I mumbled.

He took it back and munched it himself.

"Where shall we go?" He asked, once we were done eating.

"Home, of course." I said.

"Why can't you wait for some more time?" He frowned.

"It's 4 pm. Do you have any idea of time?" I said, checking my phone.

"Oh." His face fell. He didn't keep track of time. "Okay. Let's go."

He dropped me on the bus stop and told me that he loved me and he left.
