Chapter 20

*Ashley’s POV*

Today I got a text from Tom saying he wanted to go out to see a movie with me. I didn’t protest. It was about time me and Tom spent some quality boyfriend and girlfriend time together. I went upstairs had a showers and put on some cute clothes. I packed my purse and waited for Tom to knock on the door. When he did I answered it “hello Ashley you ready?” he asked me as I nodded and walked out of the door locking it behind me. He slipped his arm around me as we walked to the car “so TomTom what we gunna see?” I asked him as he opened the door for me and I got into the passenger’s seat. “Well I was thinking Rio? You know the one with loads of parrots?” he told me as he started the ignition and headed to the cinema. I giggled “trust you to want to go and see a parrot film. It’s ok though, I love Rio!” I told him with excitement.

*Tom’s POV*

We reached the cinema and I parked up. I got out first then went round to open the door for Ash being the gentleman I am. We walked in hand in hand. “2 tickets to see Rio please” I told the ticket person as she added them together “That will be £15 please” the woman said. I saw Ashley fishing around her purse “err, what are you doing? I am paying” I tell her as she sighed and put her purse away. I took out a ten pound note followed by a five and gave it to the woman. She handed me the tickets. “Thanks” I said to her as we walked to the food bit “ok you bought tickets at least let me by popcorn?” Ashley tells me. I shake my head “I will pay for popcorn and drinks. If you want anything else you can pay” I tell her. She smiles “Two large popcorns please and two pepsi’s” I tell the guy behind the counter “Sweet or salted popcorn?” he asked. I looked at Ashley “sweet please for my sweet girl” I tell him. She blushed “and for you sir?” he asked “I will have the same thanks” I handed the guy some money and we walked to the screen. We took our seats as the movie started. Ashley placed her head on my shoulder and her left hand holding mine as I gently stroked her hair every so often kissing her lightly as we watched the movie.

*Monita’s POV*

Hand in hand Max and I slowly walked through the village of mine after spending the day going through lines for the musical. After our little stroll we sat on the bench for a bit “I am really thirsty. Is there a coffee shop about?” Max asks me. I nodded and took his hand “Its just round the corner. We can get a coffee to go then sit back on the bench is you would like too?” I asked as we walked to the coffee shop. He nodded and walked up to the counter. “What you having babe?” he asked me “I will just have a skinny latte please” I tell him “right ok so that is one skinny latte and black American coffee and two choc chip muffins to go please” Max told the blonde woman behind the counter. “Then will be £8.50 please” the lady said as Max handed her the money. We waited as our drinks were being made for us. Max had his arm around me and gently rubbing the side of my neck in small circles. “1 Black American coffee and a skinny latte to go!” the woman shouted and we stood up and took our coffees “and your choc chip muffins” she said passing a little paper bag with our muffins in them. We walked outside and sat back down on the bench chomping and slurping on our muffins and coffee.

*Max’s POV*

I took a bite of my muffin as Monita drank her coffee. “So, what do you think of the production then? Got any idea when Nick is going to tell us the opening curtain date?” Monita asked me “I am not sure, could be anytime really. Its going good though” I tell her. Slowly the sun started to set as we finished our coffee’s and muffins. “Right back to mine then?” Monita asked and I nodded my head “of course, I am getting a bit tired” I said smirking. We binned our coffee cups and the paper bag. I then started to walk down the road with Monita slightly behind me. Before I knew it she had leapt on my back “Monita!” I said as I caught her on my back and gave her a piggy back all the way back to her house giggling laughing and having fun all at the same time.
