Focus {ON HOLD}

Chapter 9

We pull up to a grand theatre. It looked like a theatre that has been around for a long time.

The Valet takes the car are parks it for us. Scott and I walk to the ticket box with linked arms.

"So what movie are we watching?" I ask as we approach the ticket box.

"Mocking Jay Part 2. I read the book series, so I'm actually really excited for this. Is that okay?"

"Are you kidding me? I love those books! I'm so stoked!" We fangirled together.

We were surrounded by really rich people. I've never seen so many Fur Coats and Rolexes in my life. I definitely felt out of place in my $30 H&M romper.

Scott led us to the movie showing room. We took our seats in the leather plush chairs and enjoyed the movie.

-----

Watching the movie with Scott sure was a memorable experience. When someone died, we'd shed a tear together. When there was a pop-up scene, I'd jump, and he'd laugh at me.

After the movie, we headed to dinner. He took me to a really fancy restaurant called Farallon.

He was so polite. He'd open doors for me, pulled out chairs for me, and paid for everything. It was almost too good to be true.

----

I ordered a Pesto Penne pasta and Scott ordered a New York steak. I tried my hardest to eat in a clean, fancy way. If I wasn't with him, i'd vacuum this food up.

"So do you have any siblings?" I ask, trying to make conversation.

"I have an older sister, Jessa, and a a younger brother, Adam. Jessa is 32, married with three kids, and Adam is 21, partying and fucking any girl he can get his hands on."

"Oh... well, um, Jessa seems nice." I say, awkwardly.

"My parents did a good job raising me and Jessa. Then they had Adam when the were a little older, so they were really lenient with him. I rarely see them though. Jess lives in Seattle, and Adam travels everywhere. My family only sees each other on Christmas." He said with a sad look on his face. Noticing this, he quickly changes the subject. "What about you?"

"Well you already met Olivia. She is my one and only sibling, unfortunately.We had a close relationship as kids, but then she became a teenager and had a lot of problems. My parents became really strict with me when I became a teen. They did a good job compared to other people that I know." I say, realizing how disappointed my parents would be if they found out about us.

Dinner continues with us getting to know each other.

"Why teaching?" I bluntly ask.

He chuckled, "My whole life I was given everything I wanted. I did not work for anything. As I graduated higschool, I realized that I wanted to do something productive. So I went to school to get my degree, and here I am. I like teaching others and maybe having an impact on kids."

"Well you had an impact on me." I say, with a smirk.

-----

We got back into the car at 9:10.

"The night is still young." I indicate that I still don't want to back home.

"Well, I have a penthouse suite here in town. Do you want to stop there for a bit?" He says looking at me.

"Sure."
