Will I Ever Get It Right?

Will I Ever Get It Right? - Chapter 5

After about 20 minutes of driving, we pulled into a line of cars. As I looked up the sign that illuminated the night sky announced we had arrived into the entry line for “Pete’s Drive - In Cinema.”

Now showing: Cold Man’s Curse

I went from feeling very excited to feeling anxious. I’ve always wanted to come to a drive - in, and I’m with someone as amazing as Edward but, after seeing that the latest thriller was showing… on a big screen, at night… and all I had for protection was a car… it scared me shitless.

I turned to Edward, who this whole time, while I was busy pondering these thoughts, was looking at me with an amused expression on his face. Then, before I could voice any of my thoughts, he started to laugh. I playfully slapped him on the shoulder and exclaimed “Hey! Why are you laughing?”

He stopped laughing and answered me “Oh nothing, it’s just… you. You're so cute.” he leaned over and kissed me on the temple, breaking apart from me just as I turned my head and leaned our foreheads together. “Edward, I don’t like thrillers they…” I blushed at what I was about to admit. It did sound a bit stupid when you said it out loud… 

He pecked me on the lips, urging me to go on. Our foreheads still leaning together, I took his hand and entwined our fingers. “They scare me.” I blushed a bright shade of red and he chuckled at me. “Well lucky you have me to protect you then.” At this point we had reached the booth to pay. I took out $10, so I could pay half but turns out, being the kind of guy he was, Edward had already paid it. I tried to shove the $10 note into his pocket but he refused. Apparently it was ‘first date etiquette’ or something…

We chose a parking spot close to the middle of the lot, so we could get a good view of, you know, some cursed guy trying to kill people. Great. As it stared I went round the car to the boot, only to see that Edward had set it up beautifully. There was pillows all around, with a blanket on the bottom. On the side there was a small picnic basket with various foods inside, including my favorites, chocolate - dipped strawberries. Edward, of course had already made himself comfortable and saw the look on my face. He smiled at me and said “You like?” and raised his eyebrows. I turned to him, looked him straight in his eyes and said “I love.” His smile grew, if possible, even wider and he patted the spot next to him, motioning for me to sit down. 

I climbed into the boot of the car and slid in next to him, he slung his arm around my shoulders and pulled me close. I remembered what he said before about “not getting any more until we get there” and thought about taking him up on that offer. I mean, both of us were more interested in each other than the movie. I looked up at him and whispered into his ear “So, do I get more of what you were giving me earlier?” I raised my eyebrows. He looked at me and smirked, obviously knowing what it was I was referring to. 

He proceeded to bend down and press his lips to mine. I smiled against the kiss and inhaled deeply, taking in his scent. Instinctively, I opened my mouth, wanting to taste him once again. He let out a small moan from the back of his throat, obviously he was gratefully accepting. He slipped his tongue into my mouth, exploring all areas, while I did the same. He shifted our positioning so I was slightly on top of him, I moved my hands up to his hair, playing with the ends and running my hands through it. I loved how soft it felt in between my fingers. As I shifted my head to get a better angle, he placed one hand on the side of my neck and moved it upwards, tangling it in my hair. We broke apart and looked at each other, breathing heavily. I smiled at him and he stroked my face lightly.  

“Did I give you enough of what you wanted?” he raised an eyebrow and was about to make another snarky comment but was cut off by me, I pressed my lips to his again and then pulled apart, I snuggled into him more and he put his arm tighter around my shoulders. I reached up, kissed his neck and whispered “Thats for me to know, and for you to find out.” He chuckled and kissed the top of my head.
