Derek insisted on buying the tickets and candy for the movie. He chose the scariest movie out and smirked at me. We sat in the very back but we were the only people in there.
"You're literally a supernatural creature, a little zombie movie shouldn't scare you," he chuckled.
"Zombies aren't real... are they?" I asked.
"Anythings possible," he smirked. I shivered and wrapped my arms around myself. I shook partly from fear and partly from the cold air conditioning.
"You cold?"
"Yeah a little," I sighed. He took off his leather jacket and slung it around my shoulders. "Thanks"
"No problem." He smiled. The movie started and I instantly shrunk down in my seat. Derek looked at me and chuckled. He slid an arm around me and pulled me closer. "I gotcha". I had never felt more safe in my life. This may be the cliché scary movie date but hey, I'll take it. I hid my face in his chest as a zombie ripped open the main actress. Derek put a finger under my chin and lifted my face to meet his. "Would it be totally cheesy if I kissed you right now?" I blushed and shook my head no. He pressed his lips against mine in a very sweet kiss. It ended as quick as it began because I jumped as a shrill scream filled the theater. The movie ended and he entwined his fingers in mine. "Ready to go home?"
"Not really," I sighed. "But I guess so"
"You can stay at my place if you don't want to go home. I'd understand if you wanted a night away," he told me.
"Are you sure that'd be ok?" I asked. He smiled and nodded.
"We rarely get any time alone anyway, not a problem at all," he responded. He drove to his place and we went in. I noticed the one bed and lack of other furniture. Derek noticed me looking and he cleared his throat.
"You can take the bed, ill take the floor," he said.
"Lets skip through all of the modest no no it's your bed oh no I insist stuff. I think we can manage to sleep in the same bed," I laughed.
"Well do you want some clothes to change into?" he asked. I nodded. He threw me some boxers and a T-shirt that hung loosely on me.
"You're like three times bigger than me," I chuckled.
"All muscle" he said flexing. I bit my lip and blushed. "Like what you see?"
"Psh no," I lied.
"Hearts never lie," he winked.
"Ugh you're so annoying," I exaggerated a sigh and fell back onto his bed.
"I'm annoying? you're the one who is a third my size but is taking up the entire bed," he laughed. He pushed me over and crawled in.
"You need a bigger bed," I stretched out and intentionally whacked him in the face.
"You" he said moving my arm, "need to keep your hands to home,"
"Oh really?" I smirked. I slid my hand down his side and tried to tickle him.
"What are you doing?" he questioned with humor in his voice.
"Tickling you.... trying anyway," I sighed. "Seriously you're no fun"
"No fun? not at all?" he asked. He latched his hands onto my sides and started tickling. I screamed bloody murder until he kissed me to shut me up. I caught my breath and settled down.
"I don't like being tickled." I told him.
"But I like tickling you cuz then I can kiss you to shut you up," he smirked.
"You can kiss me any time you want," I mumbled under my breath.
"I might take you up on that offer," he whispered and pulled me into his chest. I fell asleep in his arms.
