Joe and I went back upstairs. I sort of wanted to stay away from the sickness for a while.

"So what's been up with you?" I asked Joe.

"Nothing really.. Just excited to see you!" He said, as he grabbed my hand. I could feel my hands feel sweaty.

"I like you, Rebecca." He says, finally. I was going to pass out, I just knew I was gonna pass out.

"You gotta be kidding me..." I said, looking down.

"If I was kidding, would I do this?" He lifted my head, and his lips met mine. In my head, I was thinking "oh hello." We stayed there for a good couple of seconds. When we stopped, I just... sighed.

"That... Was... Why'd... I am so confused." I said.

"Don't be." He said, smiling. I have to admit, he was smooth.

"Um... Do you wanna watch a movie or something?" I asked.

"Sure... Which one?"

"Um... How about Signs? Have you ever seen it?"

"No. What's it about?" He asked.

"Well, just sit and you'll find out!" I said, beaming. Signs was one of the scariest movies I saw as a child. It's one of those alien invasion movies, only the aliens look like rotten skeletons, like the boneys in Warm Bodies.

I sat down on the couch and Joe, obviously, sat next to me. He put his arm around me as I started the movie.

All movies like this always have a slow beginning for the exposition, so I just stared blankly at the tv.

"Do you want to be my girlfriend?" He asked all of a sudden.
