I have seen few of my one night stands in my shirts little too many times and I swear it was not provocative. But walking home to Magenta in my too big for her clothes was utterly satisfying. Somehow even in that jumbled mess of over sized clothing, she managed to deprive me of sane thoughts.

And even though being a guy my eyes did travel to her bare legs but more than that in my clothes she felt like... she was mine. I shouldn't feel that way, she wasn't mine. 

But lately, I was running out of reasons to keep her away. And God was not helping me here.

It was nine at night when we sat down in my car to go a movie theater. She was still wearing my tee and her jeans and she looked a little excited.

"What are we watching?" She asked fidgeting in her seat.

"What do you want to watch?" I asked since that seemed adequate.

"I am okay with anything." 

It was a late night show and for my benefit, I choose action so that I don't fall asleep or rather stare at Magenta if something boring came on screen.

She was totally engrossed in the movie and watched with a child like delight. There were very few people in the theater and as far as I know half of them would be celebs dating in secret. This place was reporter free and well known for a celeb.

But that fact that Magenta and I was sitting her was so out of context since I didn't even know if this was a date? Should I consider it a date? Magenta and I supposed to be not getting attached but there was no denying, I was interested in Magenta. Maybe it was because she could relate to my pain or maybe because she needed to be protected.

I was not sure of my reasons.

"This was awesome, can we do this again?" She asked as we walked out of the movie.

Her face was flushed with excitement. 

It was just a movie but it made her so happy that it was contagious.

After driving around for a while I stopped near the bridge.

"Why are we stopping here?" She asked not sounding worried at all to be with an almost stranger.

"When Charlotte discovered she had cancer she came here to jump once." I shared the darkest of my memories.

I heard her sharp intake of breath but she just stared at the bridge and water under it.

"She was already dying but she thought if she could lessen the pain of treatment or the burden and pain she was putting everyone through she will be happy," I explained her reason to come here.

"I can understand." Magenta said with sincerity but I bet she couldn't.

She was not slowly dying to leave behind people she loves.
