"Let's just go watch movies." Dalton says while y'all walk back to the car. He tries to seem excited but you can see the disappointment in his eyes. "We can come back and watch Civil War next weekend. Maybe it won't be sold out then.." He smiles at you and then you see an idea develop in his mind... "Or maybe we can order tickets before hand." He runs back to the ticket window, leaving you standing there. When he comes back, he holds up two tickets. "Next Friday night. 7:45. You and me are seeing Civil War!!" The excitement in his eyes, mixed with the smile on his face, is enough to make your stomach jump. You get butterflies in your stomach as he hugs you and when you start walking to the car with him by your side, you think to yourself "woah. What was that??? I haven't felt that way around him before.." Instead of saying something about it, you just brush the thoughts out of your mind as much as you can. You get in his car and the whole way home you try to listen to him ramble on about how awesome Civil War will be and how you would have fun watching movies at your house anyway. But you can't seem to shake the feelings that are growing inside of you and make you shiver every time you look into his blueish green eyes.
When you get to your house, Dalton goes to the kitchen to pop some popcorn while you put a DVD in the player. You go to the bathroom and when you come back, Dalton is all stretched out on the couch, leaving you a small spot on the end near his feet.
"Um no sir." You say with a teasing in your voice. "You can move your feet. Or I will sit on you. I'm not smelling your feet through the whole movie."
He just moves his eyes from the tv to you, looks you up and down, at his feet and the spot next to them, and then back to the tv with a smirk on his face.
"UGH I HATE YOU" you exclaim as you climb over his feet into the small corner he has left you.
"Love you too, (y/n)" he glances at you and smiles as the movie starts. A few minutes into the movie, He sits up to get comfortable but is careful to make sure that his feet get as close to your crossed legs as possible. You glance at them and then over at him over your phone to see him staring at you. Your heart beats faster and your stomach drops as you make eye contact and he smiles.
"Uhhh can I help you??" You ask, teasing again.
"Are you gonna stay on your phone through the whole movie? Should I just go?"
"Prolly and no. We are watching this movie" you say as you lock your phone and put it in your lap.
A few minutes of watching the movie in silence pass and then you hear your phone buzz. You answer the message and check your snapchat. You feel Dalton start putting his feet on you and you kick at him.
"You know I really hate feel, doofus. get them off of me." You say, never looking up.
"Well. I really hate when you play on your phone instead of watching a movie with me." Dalton states as he grabs your phone out of your hand.
"DALTON GIVE IT BACK." You say as you reach for the phone that he is holding just out of your reach. You lean a little further towards him, and he takes his free hand and pulls you over. He hides your phone behind a pillow as you turn to face the tv.
Suddenly aware of how close you are sitting to him and how good he smells, you sit up and whine "DALT. Can I pleeeeeaaaassseeee have my phone back??" You turn and look at him. Without turning his eyes away from the tv, he says a matter of fact "no" and you sigh "fine." And you settle back on him. Your back is to him, but you lean against him as he moves his arm from under you and drapes it over your shoulder .
Your breath catches in your throat "BREATHE (y/n) JUST BREATHE. Y'all have sat like this before. It's nothing new.... WHATS WRONG WITH ME TONIGHT??"
You sit like that for a while and then Dalt starts getting bored, you guess, because he pulls your hair. You try to ignore him at first, and you can feel him laughing to himself. After a few tugs that really hurt, you reach up suddenly and grab his hand, like you always do, to make him stop. Your fingers intertwine, and you take your other hand and pinch him. He tries to let go of your hand to pinch you back but you hold on tighter, forgetting about his other hand. you feel him shift suddenly and before you know it, he's tickling you with his free hand and you are squirming around, trying to get away until your head is in his lap and you have no where else to go, so you decide to fight back.. You release his other hand, trying to swat him away but in releasing his hand, you now have to fight both of his. He continues to tickle you until you are both laughing so hard that neither of you can breathe.
"OKAY. OKAY. TRUCE. STOP DALT." You squeal between breaths. He stops and looks at you. You must get a distressed look on your face because he starts laughing again. Looking up at him, watching him laugh is the most beautiful thing you have ever seen. And the sound of his laughter makes you feel all tingly inside. You start laughing too, and Finally you both calm back down. You go back to watching the movie and Dalton starts mindlessly playing with your hair that is stringily laying over his legs. A few minutes pass and you carefully slide your hand up and grab a strand of his hair.
"HEY" he says as he grabs your hand. You look up at him and laugh and he slowly intertwines his fingers between yours while looking into your eyes. You can feel yourself blushing so you turn your face back to the ending of the movie. You can feel him staring at you at different parts of the rest of the movie and you just try to ignore him, but you can't ignore how he is sliding his thumb over your hand and how he still hasn't let go. You also can't ignore the intense feeling inside of you that you have never felt around him before. As the movie goes off, you sit up and lean against him again, trying to release his hand but he keeps his hold on you and drapes his arm over your shoulder again. You sit in complete silence as the credits roll but You must seem uncomfortable because he releases your hand. You can feel him looking at you again so you place your other hand just in the perfect place so that he could reach it if he wanted. Without hesitation he reaches and takes that hand and slides his fingers between yours, even slower than before.
"See ? I told you," you break the silence once you can breathe again "it was a great movie.! Wasn't it??"
"Yeah" you can hear the smile in his voice "it was pretty good. I guess you were right," he says..
And the adds "for once." With a small chuckle. You turn and face him and say "FOR ONCE? I'm always right.! You know that." You smile at him and the turn back to the tv where the menu screen was showing clips of the movie. He starts rubbing your hand with his thumb again. You turn back towards him your breath catches in your throat as your eyes meet. He releases your hand and puts his hand on your cheek and leans in.
His lips touch yours lightly and then he leans back, and looks at you. All you can do is smile and turn so you can see him better. Then, he kisses you again slowly at first, testing the waters and then he lets the intensity grow. You slide your hand into his hair. When he kisses you for a third time, you hear the kitchen door open. You both stop quickly, look at each other and blush.. You hear your parents come into the kitchen and just as you are turning to sit next to him, the right way, your little sister runs into the room.
"(Y/N)!!! We are home!!" She squeals as she comes into the room. "DALTONNNNN" she says as she jumps on his lap. He moves his arm from around you and you suddenly miss his touch even though he is sitting right beside you. He gets caught up in the conversation with her as your parents enter the room. The come and sit in the chairs adjacent to the couch and say "hey guys. Did y'all have fun tonight??"
You look at Dalton and the say "yeah. Tonight was great." As a smile creeps up on your face.
Your parents then seem to notice how close y'all are sitting and the blankets on the floor.. You look at your dad, who is staring at Dalton. You look up at Dalton and see that he is blushing.
You change the subject quickly and after a few minutes, Dalton says "I should get home.. It's getting late.."
"Okay nice to see you again Dalton. You're welcome anytime.! You know that." Your mom says with a genuine smile.
"Yes mam! Thank you so much!!"
Your dad stands and shakes Dalton's hand and walks into the other room. Dalton puts on his shoes and starts to walk out. He looks at you quickly and then at the door.
"Hey mom. I'm gonna walk out with Dalt. I forgot I left my drink in his car." You say as you jump off the couch and trail behind him. You walk outside and shut the door.
You look at him and then you make eye contact. You take three steps towards him and he covers the rest of the distance and kisses you again. Longer than before, but slower. He puts his hand on your face and leans away from the kiss. He places his forehead on yours and keeps his hand on your cheek and wraps the other around your waist. "Do you know" he whispers "how long I have wanted to do that?" Before you can answer, he kisses you one more time and then climbs into his car and leaves.
You stand there and watch him drive away, not moving an inch until you can't see his car anymore. You rush into your house and up the stairs to your bed room after you stop and find your still hidden phone. You lay down on your bed and stare at your screen. Your favorite picture of you and Dalt from the idol finale after party.
"Wow." You think to yourself "did he really just kiss me?"
Before you have time to think about it, you get a message. "I miss you already. I really didn't plan that tonight."
And then another message.
"But I'm glad it happened. I hope I didn't overstep my bounds.... Goodnight, beautiful. I'll see you in the morning at 8 for our normal Saturday morning coffee meeting. Except this time, it's a date. 7:30. Be there."
A smile crosses over your face as you type your reply. "No lines were crossed. Thank you for taking a chance. It's a date. See you there.❤️" as you climb in bed and went to sleep, you pray that you'll never wake up from this amazing dream.
