The date wasn't what I'd imagine but it was definitely one that would make you sit up all night and replay in your head.It was pleasant and fun,we both enjoyed ourself.It wasn't romantic at all so that kind of eased the pressure.It was soothing and definitely a date to catch up on each other.Malik was a perfect gentleman I must say,he really gave me a fun night to remember.We spent the night on top of his car looking at the stars. Conversation seemed to have created itself,not one word was left unsaid except the part where he takes up almost 70% of my thought, yeaaaahhhh forgot to mention.The cause of me staying up that night was mostly to keep the food taste in my mouth,what can I say,I'm a sucker for good food.Turns out Malik is a pretty good cook,atleast so he says,I still believe he picked up that food from some fancy restasurant.The next day mostly involved sleeping and me watching a rerun of Catfish.I rolled over on the couch on my tenth watch of Catfish and remembered I hadn't heard from the website about my song. I checked my e-mail but there was nothing. I shut my laptop letting out a loud sigh.Maybe it was enough Catfish for the day. I strolled up my room bumping my toe on the stairs. I winced in pain almost falling completely down the stairs.
"God! Grandma needs to get this fixed," I yelled at the little crack in the stairs.
I continued my walk to my room and plunged on my bed. I grabbed my little notepad on my wooden nightstand. It was grandma's nightstand my grandpa had made it for her. It was the one thing left of him so I cherished it. I grabbed the pencil along with the notepad,it was my magic at work at least so I call it. There must be at least 30 songs in here at least none that I really loved. I always wrote songs when I'm going through some emotions,now I'm bored so it seemed like a valid time to put pencil to paper. I must have been sleeping for awhile because my notepad and pencil made a temporary print in my face. I rubbed my cheek in pain,it really hurt.I Jolted in absolute fright at the ringing of my phone. It was him.
''Hello,'' my voice squeaked ugh totally unattractive.
''Lux?'' He said in a sexy tone.
''This is she,'' this is she sigh what am I seventy,I mentally punched myself.
''How are you?''
''I'm good and you?''
''I'm fine.''
The phone line went quite for a few seconds but I could hear him breathing.
''Are you busy?'' He asked.
''No.''
"You wanna hang out tonight,my parents kinda got these movie premiere tickets and we have one extra so I'm wondering if you would like to come?"
I wore a smile of approval before I responded,I had to it's not like he could see my smile. Malik said I should be ready by seven. Accepting it was the easy part but convincing my grandma to let me go though I had youth service tonight at church was about to produce a problem.
"Please grandma I'll do anything," I begged resting against the kitchen counter with my arms crossed.
"Child it's youth service night you know better than to miss it," she said sounding not a bit fazed by my plea.
"But grandma I have to go."
"Why? I'm sure you're not going to die or disappear into oblivion so there's no reason for you to go."
"But grandma I never get to go anywhere.Please,I'll be home by eleven," I continued making more effort by kneeling.
"No Lux."
"I promise to attend every single youth service if you allow me to go," I knew this would catch her,grandma would never give away an oppurtunity of me spending my Saturday nights at church.She rubbed her head quite visibly thinking. I waited patiently before I got my approval,of course it would be an approval it's grandma and church we're talking about here.
"Fine but get your butt must be here before eleven."
I jumped around before plastering a kiss on her cheek then running to my room to get dressed.I rummaged through my closet not exactly knowing what to wear to a movie première. I finally settled with a black loose dress and my black boots.Malik arrived exactly at seven,it was pretty impressive. He was very punctual,he had later revealed he was waiting around the corner to arrive at the exact time he said he would. It was pretty cheesey but I like chessey.On entering his car the fragrance of strawberries filled my nostrils. The seat was sunken a bit like someone was occuping it before me but I didn't pay it much attention.My eyes wondered to Malik's outfit,he was decked in a plaid buttondown shirt that fit perfectly and a black jeans.He looked absolutely tasty.We met his parents at the cinema.They were pretty delighted to see me.Mr.Bella was just as I remembered.He shared quite the same handsome look as Malik.They could be seen as brothers,twins atleast.We chatted with his parents for a bit then ventured into the cinema.This was never what I pictured a movie premiere to be,then again I've never actually been to one.People enveloped the cinema,people of rather higher society than I.Cameras everywhere,I almost didn't believe my eyes.There was a red carpet rolled at the entrance of the cinema that led me to think what kind of movie premiere this was,really.I slightly jerked at Malik's hand to get his attention.His eyes came piercing in mine before I could've known it,I almost couldn't speak.
"What kind of movie premiere is this? It looks more like some rich people priceless function."
"Just a regular movie premiere," he said assuring me giving a little smile along with that.
We walked in swiftly not stopping to take any pictures,I was quite uncomfortably to be honest.We were seated in a giff,Malik and I side by side this was more comfortable.Wink wink.Apparently we were watching some movie called Adeline.Never heard of it but it turned out to be quite an unforgettable movie.Malik was quite the talker,he kept talking throughout the movie mostly to say silly things to make me laugh.The cinema was never one place to have a conversation and our neighbours gave us quite the clues with their nasty glares.After the movie ended Malik and I departed from his parents.It was just a few minutes after ten so it made no sense arriving at home so early when I could spend more time with this handsome of a Malik.Get it hand-some,yeah I know I'm the master of puns .Malik thought it would be nice for us to just drive around to kill time,so he says.We drove until we settled in a supermarket parking lot.We sat in the car not much word exchanging between us.My back rested against the leather seat.It was a bit chilly I kept twisting around in my seat.
"You okay?" Malik asked with knitted eyebrows.
"Yea,why?"
"You seem uncomfortable.Maybe it's the look on your face that's giving it away or maybe its the fact that you look tormented shifting around in your seat," he smiled yea that handsome looking smile.
I giggled,"I'm fine just a bit cold."
"Oh.I don't have my jacket on me but we could go in the back seat and cuddle."
I looked on him waiting for his smirk but it never came.Oh my! Is he serious?
"You're making fun of me right?" I asked.
"No," he answered sounding shocked,"I would never."
"Oh okay," I said refusing to say another word.
"Well?" Malik glanced at me.
"Well what?"
"Are you coming in the back seat with me or not?"
I looked at him before answering next thing I know he was climbing in the backseat and I was following him.His arms slowly wrapped around my shivering body. I couldn't help but to think he might like me well it was pretty obvious.I sunk into his arms and he looked down and smiled and then and there I knew that there was never another place I would rather be.
