No one knows what love is (#1)

14. Alone time with her - Hunter

That’s one scary car ride. I was in a car with my Mom, her Mom and her. It’s not my fault that I am shy in these kinds of situations, maybe only this once, but still I just feel like my next move is being watched by a million people. I just don’t want to do anything… embarrassing. The movie we are going to watch is “Gravity” if I am not wrong. I haven’t watched a movie since who knows when, come to think of it, I don’t even watch a lot of movies.

Once Jordan’s Mom got our tickets, we proceeded into the cinema. Jordan sat next to me, while our Moms sat together. They are getting really close with each other. Just then, they turned to look at us, and I froze. Something’s up. My Mom suddenly turned her head towards Jordan’s Mom, and whispered something. Mom… Please don’t make me do anything. As if sitting next to Jordan is already not a nerve wrecking experience. Her crystal blue eyes, her long brunette hair tied into a ponytail today. Those chic Vans and the outfit she is wearing. Without realising, I am looking at her, and she is looking at me, confused. Cough* I turned my face so that it now faces the screen. Meanwhile, my Mom left the cinema, probably to get Popcorn. We just sat and waited. After 10 seconds, the silence became unbearable. I just had to…

“You watch movies often?” I turned my body to face Jordan and asked her.

“Mmm… No, not that often.” She replied me, her face is now facing mine. Everything around us slowed down and the voices around us died down. It’s just the two of us. There it is again, this feeling.

“Hunter, Hunter?” Mom said as she tapped my shoulder. I turned and saw her carrying a regular sized tub popcorn and 2 drinks. “Share this ok?” She then said. Before I could respond, she ‘shoved’ the popcorn and drinks to us and ran off as fast as she could. Share?

The movie started soon enough and I took a sip of my drink. It’s ice cold, but somehow it doesn’t seem to be helping me cool down. I opened the tub of popcorn and gave Jordan a nudge. “Want some?” I asked her.

“Yea sure.” Jordan reached out for the popcorn with her hands, and grabbed a handful. The movie started playing. You know how in movies when couples are watching a movie, their hands touch when they reached for the popcorn by accident? Yup, that happened not once but a few times during the movie. Every time our skins touch, it sends a jolt up my spine, and brings me back to reality. I didn’t care though, I kinda liked that feeling. The touch of her skin.

The movie was captivating though, I never knew movies could be that real. But what I do know for sure is, I just watched a movie with Jordan, Jordan Faye.
