Partners in Crime

Chapter Three

Beatrix' Point of View:

I settled down on the couch, opposite of Cooper.

"What movie do you want to watch" Cooper said breaking the awkward silence. 

"Actually, is it okay if we watch TV instead?"

"Sure!" Cooper stood up to get the remote and to turn on the monitor

Why does he have to look cute every second... like I know we just officially met... but like... I feel like--

"What show do you want to watch?" Cooper asked cutting my thought short.

"Ooh! Can we watch The Office?"

"Okay"

Cooper was switching through the channels, concentrating to find The Office. For some reason, looked even cuter when he was concentrated. 

"Um, sorry Beatrix, I don't think The Office is up right now."

"Oh it's okay! Can we watch Netflix instead?"

"Mhmm, what movie do you want to watch?"

"What about Birdbox? I heard it was really good and I've always wanted to watch it!"

"Okay! I'll go make popcorn or something, tell me if I miss anything important!"

I laughed as he went to the kitchen and started prepping the popcorn. While the movie started, I started to text Chloe about what just happened since she is 1 out of the 2 people I have told about Cooper.

~ End of Texts ~

I looked up to see Cooper walking back over to the couch, smiling with a bowl of popcorn and a couple bottles of water. He sat down, closer to me this time. It sent a chill up my spine and I started to freak out a bit.

"Um what movie is this?" Cooper asks as he opens a water and takes a sip

Oh him drinking water... I didn't realize I was staring until he waved his hand in my face... for. the . second. time. God Beatrix you gotta stop. * A/U Sorry if this is mean Beatrix sksksk*

"U-um oh yeah this is Birdbox"

"Wait... isn't this a horror movie?"

"Yeah... why? Do you not like horror movies?"

"Eh, I just jump easily" Cooper says as he rubs the back of his neck, clearly embarrassed.

"It's okay, here, get a blanket and some pillows and use them to cover your face when scary parts show up on the screen."

"Okay yeah good idea."

Cooper came back with a blanket and two pillows.

"Uhh sorry, I could only find 1 blanket, but I got 2 pillows!" Cooper says as he smiles

"Oh it's fine! We could share if you want to"

Cooper's Point of View:

"Uh sure, why not?"

I scooted closer to her, making sure not to bump into her or anything. I saw her beam with happiness as I threw the blanket over us.

We started to watch the movie, but I anticipated every second, getting ready to cover my face with my pillow. The movie eventually ended and it was almost 6 o'clock. I looked over my shoulder and saw Beatrix fast asleep on my shoulder and oh my she looks so adorable when she's sleeping. I slowly got up, making sure not to wake her up... but that plan failed.

"Cooper? Oh shit what time is it?"

"Oh sorry for waking you up! And it's close to 6 o'clock"

"WAIT-" Beatrix shot up from the couch "IT'S 6 ALREADY?!"

"Yeah... that movie was around 2 hours long, are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?"

"Is that even a question?" She says smiling and laughing.

We walked into the kitchen and started to dig through the cabinets and pantry. I couldn't find anything good to eat, and neither did Beatrix, so we decided to order Chipotle through Post Mates. I texted my mom for approval, and she said yes, thank the lord. We started ordering, and Beatrix went first

"Um can I have a burrito with pinto beans, white rice, sofritas, and corn please?"

"Mhm ofc!"

"Thank you Cooper"

Hearing my name made me jump a little, but then I regained focus.

"Oh no problem"

We finished ordering and decided to clean up a little bit until the food arrives. 

Beatrix Point of View:

I gathered up the pillows and the blanket and asked Cooper where to put them

"Um up the stairs to your right should be a cabinet, you can put the blanket in there, and uh left of the cabinet is my room, you can put the pillows on my bed."

I nodded and started up the stairs. I put the blanket away in the cabinet and went into his room. I placed the pillows onto his bed, but I saw a journal on his desk with the word 'Beatrix' written on it. I know I shouldn't snoop through his stuff, but it had my name on it so I had to look. I opened it up and saw a bunch of words that I couldn't comprehend. I realized that it was journal... about me...
