You and Me

Chapter 14: Hallelujah

"Did I mention you look pretty, today?"

I laughed, considering it was around the third time he'd told me.

"You might have said it a couple times, but thanks anyways."

The car came to a halt and Reed smiled cheekily. "Here we are."

Glancing out the window, my eyes focused on the humongous movie theater in front of me. "The cinema? You probably don't even know what movies they have."

Reed scoffed. "Sure I do. See, we're going to watch..." He ducked his head and squinted, "Shlaughter-mouse. Sklaughter-house? Oh, Slaughterhouse."

I laughed and muttered something under my breath.

Reed raised his eyebrows and smirked at me. "What was that?"

"I said that this was very unplanned."

Reed shook his head and pointed accusingly at me. "No, today was very planned; it's just that you're too scared to watch the movie. That's why you think this sucks."

"I am not scared!" I yelled.

Reed squinted his eyes playfully as if challenging me, "Prove it."

I suppressed a smile and scowled. "Fine, I will!"

Reed laughed huskily and got out of the car. After we bought some popcorn, he and I navigated our way through the the rows of seats until we made it to the middle of the movie theater. The movie started, and the beginning was so bad that I accidentally let out an annoyed groan.

Reed smiled and looked at me slightly amused.
"What?"

I blushed and tucked a strand of my hair behind my ear. "Sorry. It's just that this movie is so cheesy."

Reed just laughed and leaned back in his seat. "We'll see."

About halfway through the movie, I was slowly drifting off to sleep. It was absolutely the most boring film I had ever seen in my entire life. At one point, my eyes were closed peacefully when a pop-up came up in the movie, causing the sound system to go insanely loud.

I jumped in my seat and let out a scream. Reed choked on his popcorn and burst into a fit of laughter.

"Oh godddd." I whispered, clutching my chest as I tried to calm myself down.

Reed chuckled loudly and turned his head to give me a mischievous grin. "You're such a baby."

"Shut up," I retorted angrily.

Reed quieted down and then seemed to remember what had just happened, laughing all over again.

"Reed! Shut the hell up you're going to get us kicked out." I clasped one of my hands over his mouth, but this just seemed to make the situation even funnier.

Eventually someone threw food at us and told us to get out. So I grabbed Reed at hauled him out of the theater.

"Reed!", I yelled between laughs, "look what you did!"

"I'm sorry Cal, I can't help it when you scream like a little kid."

I smiled, slightly irritated that he had made fun of me, but nevertheless, I rested my head on his shoulder. "I've actually never seen you laugh like that."
