In the Moon's Light

Chapter 19: Movie with Bloopers

Kat's POV:

Michael finally gets all the seniors out of his room, with that kid Alec giving me a weird look on the way out and Michael practically glaring at him. Well that was weird. Like we aren't? Very true.

 After Michael shuts the door he seems to relax a bit as he turns toward me laying on the futon looking like he's won some big prize. Well we are a prize for link. I just smile back at him as I watch his eyes sparkly towards me.

"So are we gonna watch a movie or what?"

"Huh...oh yeah haha. I've already picked one out if the choice is alright with you."

"Which movie?"

"Well....I'm not going to lie it's kind of old. It's the 1937 version of Jane Eyre, it's black and white but it's really good I promise."

"I love that movie. My mom and I went to see it in theaters, I haven't seen it in forever."

"In theaters? I'm guessing your town did an old movie night once a month or something then?"

Uhoh.......ok think recover it quickly and calmly.

"Yeah, must have been something like that. Also no popcorn for me, but a blanket would be nice."

He gets the movie going and goes to the bed and pulls a blanket off of it before coming back and sitting on the futon next to me. He's trying to be a gentleman with the distance between us, so I just slide closer before laying my head on his chest. He seems to get the message because he wraps his arm around me as we watch the movie. Let's stay here forever. Don't you know I want to?

We watch the movie mostly in silence and I can't help but breathe in his scent every chance I get. I never want tonight to end......no I never want this moment to end. Me in his arms, next to him, with him. I snuggle closer into his chest as the movie nears the end, wishing that it was longer.

Once the movie ends he gets up and turns it off. It's dark in his room except for the light coming from the bathroom door and a small lamp turned on somewhere behind us. I can see perfectly no matter how much light, and I can see him blush in the dark as I stare at him smiling at me as he sits back down on the futon.

"So uh....do you want to watch another movie or maybe talk or would you like me to walk to your room?"

"We could talk for a while I guess. I'm sorry about yelling at you earlier tonight, I know we've already said sorry I just feel like I should say it again."

I stare at the floor now to avoid his gaze. His emotions are becoming easier for me to read and we're both becoming frightened of what we may see in them eventually, me more so than Crescent. I hear him cross back over the futon before sitting down next to me. He gently takes my face under his hand and raises my eyes to his.

"Kat, you don't have to apologize. I was pushing you to talk about stuff you weren't ready for yet. I'm the one that should be apologizing not you. I should be trying to earn your forgiveness not the other way around babe. Was this why you kissed me when we got our of the car and off the elevator, were you trying to say that you were sorry by kissing me?"

"When I got out of the car I just wanted to let you know that I was sorry for the way that a reacted towards your questions, so I guess the answer to that is yes."

He gently drops his hand away from my face and looks away from me to the door. You hurt his feelings! Comfort link! NOW!  Ok, ok! Damn, chill out. I grab his hand and bring it back to my cheek as I hold it, trying to comfort him.

"But wait, when I got off the elevator I kissed you because I missed you and when I saw you I was just so.....so happy. I've never felt this way about anyone and I feel like I've known you my whole life and could even be with you forever and be happy again. I'm sorry if the car kiss upset you."
