Ming's POV
Kit is taking me tonight to my first drive in movie. The night is warm and I'm glad I settled on wearing shorts and a t-shirt. I brought a sweatshirt just in case it gets chilly. Finding a spot close to the screen Kit shuts off the engine and lets down the kick stand.
"Are you hungry? Would you like to get something from the concession stand?" Kit asks while helping me off the bike.
"I could eat." I'm expecting a small menu but they have everything from popcorn and candy to pizza and burgers. We settle on two hot dogs, a bucket of popcorn, and a soda to share. When we get back to his bike all our other friends have arrived in cars. Toota is looking especially cozy with that band guy. What was his name again? Oh Arm. How can I forget a name like that. He seems nice and that is all that matters. It seems that Forth and Beam have made up once again. They keep sneaking kisses and Forth hasn't taken his arm from around Beam's shoulders since we have arrived.
Kit has me hold the food as he spreads a blanket out on the ground. Once seated Yo and Pha sit with us as we eat and wait for the movie to start. When the previews and other commercials start playing Yo and Pha leave to get back in their car.
After Kit throws our garbage away he sits back down on the blanket on the opposite side from me. I find that odd and if he is trying to be a gentleman and give me space I don't need it. I want to be close to him. I scoot over so that our sides are touching and I frown when I feel his body tense up.
"Are you feeling okay?" I ask wondering if our dinner didn't agree with him.
"I'm fine, shh...watch the movie," Kit whispers without looking in my direction. He really brought me to a drive in to actually watch the movie? Taking a look around the other people here are all cuddled up to their partners. If I'm seeing correctly the guy in the car a couple spots down has just lost his shirt. I'm not expecting to have sex here out in the open but is cuddling and kissing too much to hope for?
As I angle my body so I can wrap my arm around his waist and plant a kiss on his neck Kit startles jumping two feet in the air. He looks at me accusingly. Like my touch is unwanted.
"What is with you tonight? Back at the beach in Thailand I couldn't keep you off of me. Here you're acting like you don't know me," I accuse.
"We are in a public place Ming," Kit whispers harshly.
"No one cares what we are doing. Do you see anyone paying attention to us?" I whisper back furious with his excuse. The beach was a public place too and we weren't the only ones on it.
"Just watch the movie, babe."
"Are you really that worried about your image you can't act sweet to me? OR that you love me! After the dance the whole school knows we are together. Why even take me out if you are going to act like this?" I cry.
"Ming, please. You don't understand..." Kit mumbles.
"I don't understand, Kit. You either want to be with me completely or you don't. I'm not going to hide myself away everytime your friends are around. Thanks for dinner but I'm going to skip the movie."
"Ming! Don't leave," Kit shouts but I'm not stopping. I love him but he needs to decide what is more important. Me or his damn image.
