"10 minutes" she said after hanging up the phone and went over and sat down next to me on her bed.

"So, should we get on with it?" I said and picked up my books and placed them on my lab.

"No offense, but I don't think I can concentrate on eating and studying physics at the same time. It would take all the joy out of the pizza" Becca said with a smile.

"Yeah, you're right. We got 4 weeks anyway" I agreed with her and closed my books. Things got quiet between us and I had no idea what to say.

"So, what should we do instead then?" I decided to ask her.

"We could watch a movie?" Becca suggested. I liked that idea. Suddenly we heard a knock on the door and Becca got up from her seat.

"Could you pick the movie? I'll get the pizza" she said while walking up the stairs, leaving me no choice. I got up from her bed and looked around after DVD's, until I found a row of them on one of her shelves.

I looked through them, but they all had either blood, scary faces and guys in mask's on the cover of them. It was clear that Becca liked horror movies. I went through them all, and found a movie with a country house and a swing on the cover of it and took it out. It looked less frightening than the others. "The conjuring" it read.

Minutes later she came walking down the stairs with the pizza in her hands.

"How much do I owe you?" I asked and went over to my jacket to get my wallet.

"Don't worry about it" she said putting down the pizza on her small coffee table in the middle of her room.

"No, I want to pay" I said and dug into my wallet. I suddenly felt her hand on top of mine stopping me from my actions.

"You paid last time remember? Now it's my turn" she said and smirked at me. I smiled back at her and thanked her.

"Did you pick a movie?" she asked and went over to her tv.

"Yeah, this one" I said and handed her the DVD. She looked surprised when I handed it to her. I began to doubt my choice.

"You like horror movies?" she asked with a glimpse of hope in her eyes. I hated to let her down.

"Well, not really. This one just looked less terrifying than the others" I admitted and put my hands in my pockets. She popped the DVD out of its cover. It looked like she was about to start laughing.

"Have you ever seen a horror movie before?" she asked and turned towards me. I hadn't, I knew that was as clear as day to her.

"I saw Coraline when I was younger. I couldn't sleep for days" I said. This time she didn't hold back her laughter. She went over and put the DVD in the player and turned the tv on.

"Well this one's going to make Coraline seem like Peppa pig. So, be prepared" she said and walked over and sat down on the floor in front of the tv, with her back against her bed. I joined her on the floor and brought the pizza with me.

The film started and we both began eating the pizza. As we watched and ate I realized that pizza somehow tasted a lot better when I was with Becca.

Through most of the film I asked Becca questions about the characters and the plot, and she did her best to answer most of them. I had been told before I was the most annoying person to watch movies with, but Becca didn't seem to mind my questioning.

A tense and scary scene began, and I picked up my glass of water Becca had brought me, to try and calm myself for whatever scary thing was about to pop up. Just as I swallowed, a horrifying ghost face popped up out of nowhere and I started to choke on my water while it spilt all over and down my white shirt.

"Oh my god, are you okay?" Becca said and quickly got up to grab some tissue from her tv stand. I coughed like I was about to die but did my best to breathe out a "I'm fine" to her.

Becca got on her knees beside me and started to dry of the water on my chest with the tissue. I finally controlled my coughing and Becca couldn't help but chuckle, I couldn't either. This was so stupid.

She kept drying off the water and came extremely close to my face. I couldn't help but stare at her focused expression.

"You don't have to do that" I said and placed my hand on top of hers on my chest to stop her. If she touched me any longer I would explode.

She looked up at me and into my eyes. Our faces were only inches from each other, and her hands were still on my chest. My head was screaming at me not to do it, but something deep inside of me made me think "screw it", and I did it. I leaned forward and put my lips softly on hers. She didn't pull away, but she didn't kiss me back either. I pulled back a few seconds later and looked down.

"I'm so sorry, I don't know why I..." I trailed off. I had never felt so embarrassed before. I mentally beat myself up for being such an asshole until suddenly, I felt Becca's hand on my cheek, slowly turning my head towards her.

I looked into her eyes and didn't have a second to even think about what she was going to do, before she put her lips firmly back on mine. As soon as they touched it felt like fireworks went off in my entire body. I had never felt more alive.

Our lips moved together perfectly as I put my hands on her waist, and hers traveled to the back of my neck. She didn't hesitate to crawl on top of my lap sitting with her legs on each side of mine. She didn't break the kiss once. I ran my hands down her back, trying to believe that this was actually happening.

I was making out with Becca. I hadn't completely realized how much I wanted this, until now. I never wanted it to stop.
