"Michael get in here! I don't want to start it without you!" She yells at me from the kitchen. The timer on the microwave goes off and the last bit of popcorn pops. I open up the door and grab the bag. Y/N had been my best friend for many years now, and we usually spent our weekends watching movies at one another's houses. I pick movies at my house and she picked movies at hers. Tonight we were at her house and she had told me that she was playing her all time favorite but she wouldn't tell me the name of it. She is standing in the doorway when I had made my way toward the living room, "don't think that you're going to see the name of the movie that easy," she says with a smile. "Come on Y/N," I say as she covers my eyes and leads me to the couch and I take a seat, "Clifford, don't you dare open your eyes.." She says laughing and I laugh too, "okay, okay I wont." She removes her hands and I shut my eyes tight. She sits on the couch and picks up the remote and plays the movie. "Okay you can open your eyes now." My eyes flutter open and I open the bag of popcorn as the movie starts. "No way.." I say smiling looking over at her, "this is Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind isn't it?" I ask in an overly excited voice and she nods her head really fast. "Yes I love this movie, it's my favorite thing," she says with a huge smile. "Me too, it's one of my favorites also, it's definitely at the top of my list." I say and she smiles. Through the first bit of the movie we have our eyes glued to the screen. She would occasionally reach over and steal some of my popcorn, even though she had told me she didn't want any. I may have failed to mention that I had the biggest crush on her, just like every other guy that was in our circle of friends. I knew I would never have a chance and I just kept it at friends...
Through the middle, I notice myself losing attention of the movie and focusing on her. I watch her facial expressions change, like she has never seen this movie before. I admire the way her eyes glow from the TV screen and the way she is sitting comfortably. I just want to scoop her up into my arms and give her so many kisses and hear her break into a giggle fit. I want to be cuddled up to her as we watch our favorite movie and I want to be the one that she shares kisses with, the one she comes to when she is sad.. I just want to be hers and I want her to be mine. She snaps me out of my thoughts when she faces me, I make eye contact with the smiling girl. "What are you thinking about Mikey?," she asked slightly tilting her head. I shake my head and chuckle a bit, "hmmm just the movie in general, like can people really get their memory erased?" I ask trying to think of something fast. She shakes her head, "no not yet, but that doesn't mean it will never happen... I think it would be quite sad if someone erased me.." She trails off looking back at the TV. "I wouldn't erase you..." I say and she looks back at me, " and I would never erase you.." We both smile at each other and she lays her hand on mine. She surprises me and raises my arm and slides toward me and puts it around her shoulder and she relaxes into me. "Is this okay?" She whispers looking up at me smiling and I smile back and I nod my head. My heart starts to beat extremely fast and she turns her attention back to the TV and I do too smiling like an idiot.
At the end of the movie she stretches and turns to look at me, repositioning herself on the couch. "I don't want you to leave Mike..." She says sighing.. Wait what? "Really?.." I ask, taken aback. "Well yeah.." she says with a questioning tone. "I didn't mean to sound so shocked but .. I am" I laugh, "I just wasn't expecting that at all.." She laughs at me. "Michael you don't have to stay here, I was just saying that I wouldn't mind.. If you .. stayed?" She ask laughing at herself. "Oh no.. no I'll stay for as long as you'd like me to. My mom and dad are out of town for the weekend and it will get kinda lonely at the Clifford household." I say watching as her face lights up. "Perfect then, you should stay the night." She says and I smile and nod my head, "sure." She smiles and she looks down at her hands and starts to mess with her fingers, "Y/N is something bothering you," I say dipping my head down to try to make eye contact with her and she somewhat looks at me, "you know you can tell me anything you seemed fine earlier now what's wrong?" I ask. She sighs and she tilts her head back and rubs her eyes, "Michael I don't even know where to begin.." she says and tilts her head back down and looks me in the eyes... "Y/N.." I start and she crashes her lips onto mine. My eyes widen but I slowly close them and kiss her back. I grab her face between my hands. This is all I wanted... All I've ever fucking wanted.. Our lips moved perfect together. She breaks the kiss and puts her forehead to mine, "you.. You kissed me back," she whispers. I smile, "yeah Y/N, I've liked you for so long, you have no idea.." I whisper back and she kisses me again softly on the lips, "please tell me you mean that.." she whispers again, somewhat pulling away making eye contact with me. "Of course I mean it.. I didn't think that you would ever like me back so I never tried... " I state and she softly laughs at me, "well Michael I can tell you that I have liked you from the start and you were the only one out of that boys that acted like you wanted nothing, relationship wise, to do with me.." I laugh at myself and I softly kiss her on the lips, "well now that the cats out of the bag, that we both like each other... what do you say?" I ask whispering, "will you be my girlfriend?" I ask and she bites her lip and giggles, "of course I will." We kiss one another again and we pull away and she yawns.
I cut off the TV and pick her up bridal style and carry her up the stairs into her bedroom. I lay her down on the bed and pull the covers over her and I lay down beside her and I pull her close to me. "You don't know how long I've wanted to do this.." She whispers and I smile, "you don't know how long I have either." I say and she laughs and kisses my cheek. I finally have her.. I finally get to hold her in my arms and tell her how much I love her and tell her what she means to me. I finally get to watch some more movies, even if it's her sappy love stories, with her. I get to hold her when I want, kiss her when I want. She turns on her side and start to lightly play with her hair and rub her back... as she slowly drifts off to sleep I kiss the back of her head and I snake my arm around her pulling her close to me, "Goodnight Y/N.." I whisper into her hair. I fall asleep quickly with the small girl wrapped in my arms. I'm so glad that I now have her.
