Secret Love Nest

Afternoon Movie Date

(Author's note: Changed the pic again. Such fickle mind I have. Or just commemorating the fact that I reach 51 parts of my first fanfic😁😊. Again, a big thank you to my wonderful wonderful readers. QingYu is not my only inspiration. My many readers too (2 is considered many, right?) Joke! Thank you thank you❤️)

Qing and I had a rare afternoon together. Qing's shooting got cancelled due to the weather while I practiced dancing all morning, free the afternoon, then I will have an interview later tonight.

So, a free afternoon. That's a good four hours together. We decided to stay at home instead of going out to buy and eat something. We decided to spent those four hours inside our room...on top of the bed.

Watching a horror movie...

(Qing is not fond of ghost stories (he's afraid of them) but he enjoys watching suspense thriller with psychos and killers stalking and murdering people one by one.)

Are you one of those people who watch suspense thriller movies but cowardly cover your face when a scary parts were playing? Weird people right?

Count me weird then. I spent almost the whole movie clutching Qing's arms who loves the movie so much I think he is not blinking while staring at the screen of our flat TV.

Of course Qing can't understand why I still watch suspense movies when half the time I have my eyes closed and hiding my face on his shoulder and chest.

Qing: A good movie is wasted on you Dayu.

Me: I don't care! I will have nightmares if I saw those scary scenes! Goodness, why is the lightning always so dim in this kind of movie?

Qing: (look at me like I am the most stupid person he had the misfortune to meet) I won't dignified that question with an answer. Just watch the freaking movie. Look at the screen.

Me: (clutching him tighter) I don't have to look at the screen! I can hear that woman screaming, that's enough for me. Just be thankful that I am making you feel so manly right now.

Qing: (deadpanned) I don't feel manly at all. I feel like I'm in a disastrous date that won't end up in sex.

Me: (opening my eyes for a moment to glare at him) No sex for you! I still have an interview later. Look at the movie, what is happening? Is the killer going for the main lead now?

Qing: Christ, did you really just ask me to narrate the movie for you?

Me: (shaking his arm) Just answer the damn questions!

Qing: No, the killer is still butchering the annoying lady. Oh, they change the scene now. Why would they do that? This is fiction, they should have pushed the killer's character more. Make him a cannibal or something...

I almost gag at that. Qing not satisfied with the killer's method of stalking, scaring and butchering his victims, he wants the killer to eat them too?

Savage, I fell in love with a savage.

I guess I can understand Qing's frustration. He wanted to play a villain role. A psychopathic hitman or a deranged stalker. Qing can pull off the hero role but what he really wanted to do is play a killer hiding in plain sight.

I think he can do it. Qing is a playful person. He pulls prank, jokes a lot, laugh a lot and so easy to get along with. A fun guy.

But his face can show a certain kind of cruelty and devilishness that made him fit his role in our drama. Chi Cheng is an aggressive character. With rules of his own, doesn't listen to anyone and will do anything to get what he wanted. Qing made the role believable.

I think he is also interested in an action movie. He works out, an action movie will be a perfect platform for him to show off his body and strength.

Gosh, a lot of possibilities. This is a perk of being a newbie. You can dream of roles you wanted to play. Hoping that you can land that role. Hoping to work with the best actors, directors, writers and production people. To learn things from them so you can grow as an actor.

The movie ended. Predictably, almost everyone died, including the killer, leaving just one survivor who will turn into another kind of monster.

I think Qing enjoyed the movie a lot. As for me, I survived it and I am so glad that it's over now. Next time, it will be my turn to choose the movie we will watch. I will make Qing watch a cheesy chick flicks or an animation but I think we will end up with a cool adventure movies the likes of Avengers or the Fast and the Furious. I do love movies like those.

We ate an early dinner together before I left for my magazine interview. Qing told me to message him when the interview is done so he can pick me up.

Me: But...

Qing: I will use the other car. No one will recognize me. Just do what I say. I will pick you up.

Me: (grumbling) Fine. Do you want me to buy something?

Qing: (shaking his head) If I think of something, we'll buy it together before going home.

I nodded and we kissed goodbye. Three hours later, he did picked me up from the interview location. He had shakes and macaroons ready for me in the car. He bought them from a fave cafe of ours.

All in all...today is a good day.
