Cameraman, Swing the Focus

Chapter 26

Nicole placed her hand over Z's forearm, stroking slowly over the skin as she leaned in to whisper in her ear. "I think we can have fun here." She darted her tongue out to hit the shell of Z's ear and noted the shiver that ran through Z's body. She nodded a little eagerly.

Z's hand slowly move up her thigh as they leaned closer. Nicole could feel her pulse in her throat and she swallowed down the anticipation. Her breathing stopped the second their lips touched. They sat, their mouths softly pressed together and not moving, before Z tilted her head and deepened the kiss. Nicole felt her whole body melt and her heart kick back into motion. She grabbed the back of Z's head, holding her in place and Z pulled on Nicole's knee, placing her half in her lap. 

Nicole growled softly in the back of her throat, hoping her friends weren't paying attention. She really didn't feel like having to be teased about this for the rest of her life, but as Z bit her lip she found it harder and harder to care. 

The movie was dull and poorly scripted, so they really didn't have a problem ignoring it to make out for most of the run time. Every now and then an explosion on the screen would make them jump and look around, or Nicole would get paranoid that Spencer was judging them and glance over, but each time she checked they were watching the movie and ignoring her. She could see Brendon and Ryan holding hands a few seats away, and it made her heart happy to know Brendon was doing well. She nudged Z and tried to subtly point in their direction so she could see too. She put her hand on her chest and mouthed an "aww".

When the movie ended and the light came back on, they all slid their coats back on and shuffled out of the theatre. Ryan said he was going to walk home since there wasn't enough room in the car, and Brendon offered to go with him.

The others piled in Spencer's car, Z and Nicole still sitting all pressed together even though they had the whole backseat to themselves this time.

"Where did you want to be dropped off?" Spencer asked, starting the car and looking at them between the headrests.

Z looked at her, a small smile on her face, but her words said oddly seriously for what they were. "I'll go wherever you go."

Nicole smiled back, feeling something important click into place, and told Spencer to take them home.
