Tit for Tat

Chapter 4

"Now that was a movie!" Taeyeon said excitedly once the lights came back on. Her eyes were still on the screen that was rolling out the credits with bits of behind the scenes clips.

"There are different types of good movies, you know. The world will have quite a headache if every movie is an action or thriller." Tiffany was trying to finished the popcorn. She put her hand in the large bucket.

Taeyeon didn't even hear what Tiffany was saying. She reached out for some popcorn and gasped when her hand grabbed Tiffany's hand inside the bucket. She quickly pulled her hand out, blushing.

Tiffany smiled, amused by the shyness. She grabbed a handful of the snack and gave Taeyeon the bucket. "Here. You can have the rest."

Taeyeon quickly took the bucket, avoiding Tiffany's eyes. Her heart was beating fast and her hand could still feel the smooth skin she accidentally touched a few seconds ago.

Tiffany stood up to leave the theater with Taeyeon close behind her. She turned her phone on and saw a missed call from him. She raised her eyebrows and was about to send him a message when she felt Taeyeon nudging her elbow. She turned her head to see the girl squirming.

"I need to go to the toilet. Be right back." Taeyeon practically shoved the almost empty bucket Tiffany's hands and ran to the toilet.

She laughed when she realized what was happening. She put her phone in her pocket and reached inside the bucket, finishing the snack as she calmly made her way to follow Taeyeon.

"Whew..." Taeyeon sheepishly grinned when she got out of the packed area. "Let's go." She told Tiffany who was waiting for her. "Where's the popcorn?" She noticed the missing bucket.

"Err... sorry." Tiffany grinned.

"Yah! You said I could finish it!"

"I'm sorry! You took so long and I had nothing to do."

Taeyeon sulked. "You owe me popcorn." She pointed her finger at Tiffany.

She laughed. "How about if I make it up to you with a macchiato?" Tiffany grabbed Taeyeon's finger, surprising the latter.

Taeyeon inhaled sharply. She pulled her finger free from Tiffany's grip. "It's a bit late for coffee, don't you think?" She made a turn, heading towards the exit.

"Never too late for coffee." Tiffany calmly said, walking next to Taeyeon with a small smile on her face. That night had turned out better than she expected. She knew that her plan was coming along smoothly. "Milk tea?"

Taeyeon shook her head. "I'm taking a break. My stomach needs to recover." She patted her stomach.

Tiffany chuckled. "That's what you get for drinking so much in such a short span of time."

Taeyeon said nothing.

They made their way out of the mail, walking towards the car park.

"So how can I make it up to you?" Tiffany asked.

Taeyeon furrowed her brows, thinking. "How 'bout you buy me that macchiato tomorrow?"

"Breakfast or Lunch?"

"Brunch." Taeyeon smiled. "I like to wake up late on Saturdays."

"Brunch it is." Tiffany smiled back, looking at Taeyeon. (I have you wrapped around my finger, Kim Taeyeon) The talk about tomorrow made her remember the man she was supposed to message. She took out her phone after she had closer the car door then messages him, asking about the missed call.

"Where to now?" Taeyeon asked as she drove out of the car park.

"Hm?" Tiffany was busy typing on her phone. She sent her reply then looked up. "Sorry, what did you say?"
