How did I let him talk me into this? That’s all you could think as you sat in the movie theater. You were on your third date with Matt and the last 2 had been amazing. When Matt had suggested you go see a movie together you immediately said yes. The thought of sitting that close to him for a few hours was exciting. You got in line at the theater and your heart sank when you heard him ask for 2 tickets to the only movie you didn’t want to see. Maybe you heard him wrong or maybe he didn’t know what the movie was about. “Um Matt, you do know that is a scary movie?” He laughed loud and said of course and that he had been dying to see it. You hated scary movies and the thought of having to sit through one in a dark theater made you want to turn and runaway. You could tell Matt how much you hated them but you didn’t want to look like a wimp. Sensing your concern as he turned to look at you he said “Don’t worry babe I’ll protect you.” And that’s all it took. Him calling you babe combined with his amazing smile you found yourself nodding your head yes. Dragging your feat and silently cursing at yourself you ordered your popcorn and found your seats. As you looked around the dimly lit theater you couldn’t help but be nervous. But all of that melted away for a moment as Matt raised his arms up to stretch and casually let one arm rest on your shoulders. Real smooth you thought to yourself smiling. The movie began and your nerves came back. But as you watched through half closed eyes you began to realize it wasn’t so bad and begin to relax. As you watch the rest of the movie almost laughing at parts you suddenly feel Matt jump and hear a little gasp leave his mouth. When you turn to look at him you can’t help the smile that forms as you see the look of terror on his face. As you wrap your arm around his shoulder you whisper in his ear “don’t worry babe I’ll protect you.”
