jack;
her hair smelled of coconut. she, herself, smelled of vanilla. her tiny frame was engulfed in mine. i notice she's still wearing my sweatshirt from yesterday, but i didn't mind. rose pulls away from the hug, smiling. her bright blue eyes danced with happiness as she does so. "netflix?" she asks excitedly. i nod before she runs out of the room and into the living area. i follow after her, laughing at her silliness as she turns on the tv and sits on the couch as she scrolls through the options.
~•time skip•~
we had decided on watching the outsiders, which wasn't on netflix- but rose had the dvd. she told me it's her favorite movie, and used to have a major crush on ponyboy. to be honest, i had never heard of the movie. but when she found it in her mess of dvd's, her eyes lit up in happiness and excitement- she had practically begged me to watch it. "it's based off of the book, which is wonderful. sadly, this is the original version and not the directors cut- so there are some parts in the book that aren't in here." she had explained. rose would tell me all the missing parts of the movie, exactly where they should be. she would even pause it so she could talk about it. i didn't mind any of this. the sound of her voice is like sweet honey, and i enjoy it. others would find it annoying, but i find it fascinating how intrigued she is by this movie and book. rose is truly not like other girls.
rose;
we settled on watching the outsiders- my all time favorite movie. i could talk about this movie all day. the book is better, though- since i only have the original version of the movie, which leaves out very important parts of the story. as i explain a part of the movie to jack, i suddenly feel as though i'm talking to much. "sorry, i'm talking to much- aren't i?" i laugh, earning a laugh from him as well. jack shakes his head no. "not at all, i like it- actually. it's great how fascinated you are with the story. i love how you can remember important things." he smiles, pulling me into his chest. we lay there for a good thirty minutes, until i decide to break the silence. "so when is this date of ours?" i ask, playing with the rings on his right hand. "uhhh maybe saturday? i was thinking maybe we could do something for breakfast and then maybe go explore la?" he asks, pulling his hand away from mine and playing with my hair. i nod in response, smiling as he grabs strands from my hair and lifting them up before letting them drop back to my head.
okay sorry that was short but their date is starting next chapter, and will start up again in the one after that ;)
