Inevitable Affection

Movie Night

*Jennifer's POV*

I've been waiting for Saturday night all week because we wanted to have a movie night, and hang out like always. Josh and I live right across the street from each other. So when we don't travel, or don't have to work, we hang out, or catch a movie at my house. Also the fact that we're lucky enough not to have the paparazzi on our backs 24/7, we have our privacy.

I'm in my room brushing my hair when I hear the doorbell, and about four knocks. That must be Josh! I run, and skip to the front of the house, turn the lock, and open the door. "Hey Jen!" He says. "Hi Joshy!" I reply. I close the door, and lock the door behind me. We walk to the living room where he sets his leather jacket on the side of the couch. "Wow Jen! You decorated the whole place!" He says looking satisfied. "Yah, it looks pretty decent, doesn't it? I put my money into good use, can you tell?" I say jokingly.

He laughs, then licks his lips. Only I want to know why he does that so much? He looks down as if he's smiling at the floor. Then after a few seconds he looks at me sweetly, I smile. He takes off his shoes, and let's me know that he was going to go change into his pajamas. He walks towards the guest bathroom, thanks me and I hear the lock click.

I take off my lilac robe a set it next to Josh's jacket, and head over to my DVD collection next to the sound system. I'm really loving my new 70 inch Samsung T.V!

While I'm scavenging for a movie. I hear the bathroom door open, and I turn around and see that Josh is wearing his favorite Batman pajamas, with a charcoal colored v-neck. Which really suits him, because you can see his muscles, and a bit of chest hair.

"Of course you would wear your Batman pjs," I tease. "Well, I'm not the one wearing bunny pajamas with matching slippers," He jokes. He walks over, and stands next to me, and suddenly I feel warm, as his shoulder brushes over mine. I like it when he stands really close. "I'll give you a point for that one." I say laughing.

I keep shuffling through the DVDs frequently taking out a movie, and then putting it back. "Jen, what are you doing?" Josh says suddenly. "I'm looking for a movie that we can watch. What do you think I'm doing?" I reply. "I didn't need your sarcasm Ms. Lawrence." He jokes. I scoff, and smile at him. Then he rewards me with a shy smile.

"Just close your eyes, and choose a random one Jen." I give in, "That's a good idea, because we'll be here all night choosing what to watch." I close my eyes, and shuffle through my disorganized collection, and grab the first movie my fingers reach.

"So, what movie are we watching?" he says with a curiosity.

"Oh! My Mean Girls/Clueless Double Feature DVD!" I exclaim. I'm jumping, because I love these movies and also, they're all in one case! I can feel Josh rolling his eyes. I nudge him playfully, and he starts heading to the couch.

"Whatever, just as long as we're watching a movie tonight, because I don't feel like going home early." He smiles. I open the case, and ask Josh which one he wants to watch.

We chose Mean Girls, because I told him I wanted to quote the movie. He didn't deny it, because he told me he thinks it'll be cute watching, and hearing me quote the movie. I take out the DVD, and feed in the disc in my Blu-ray system.

Josh read my mind by turning off the lights, and unfolding the blankets so we can keep warm during the movie. Because what's a movie night without warm blankets, and my best friend? Nothing. We both sat on my couch.

I wasn't comfortable, so I laid down face down and placed my legs across his thighs. He pats my legs, which makes my heart fly. Only I can't help but let out a sigh, hoping he didn't hear me.

While the previews were playing, we talked about family, our personal lives, and other random topics. Laughing, at the stupidest things.

I climbed out of the blanket, telling Josh I was going to get water. I grabbed my robe, and ran to the kitchen to get myself a glass of water. Only my thoughts shifted, and now I was in the mood for some champagne. So I grabbed a bottle of chilled champagne out of the fridge. Josh calls out, "Hey, get me something!"

I hollered back, "I've got those cinnamon rolls that you like, do you want those?!"

He replied, "Sure, just bring anything good!" I laugh.

I take two wine flutes out of the cabinet, then I scramble through my pantry to find the tub of rolls in the very back of the room. The container is practically full because Josh is the only one who eats them at my house.

I take the plastic container of cinnamon rolls under my left armpit, the flutes shuffled in my fingers, the champagne in my right hand. Then I stop by a drawer to get a corkscrew; throw it in my pocket, and then finally walk back to the couch.

I stand in front of Josh for a few seconds, and he just laughs and says, "You know, you could have made two trips to the kitchen?" I scoff, and tell him to take the tub.
As I put the rest of the items on the coffee table, I mention, "I think my left arm just had an arm workout from holding that tub too long." He laughs, and tells me to sit.

We cover ourselves in warm blankets, and settle in close to each other. We snuggle, and I put my head on his chest. I can hear his steady heartbeat in my ear, and his relaxed breathing. I start closing my eyes...

Until his voice startles me. "Hey, do you want a drink?"
I quietly jolt back to life, and then offer to unscrew the cork.

After about a few minutes of trying to unscrew the cork, it finally pops. I fill our glasses taller than it should. I giggle, then Josh smirks at me, and I say "One, two, three!" We chug down the champagne; I have my hand in the air. I finish first, and we laugh together. "I don't think we're watching that movie tonight." Josh laughs.

After about three or four drinks, we start giggling very sluggish and saying stupid things. I whisper in Josh's ear, "I'm going to make myself a sandwich." He whispers, "Okay." Then he kisses my cheek. I giggle.

Then halfway to the kitchen I whine, "Josh, come with meeee!" Josh laughs, "Okay, okay. I'm coming Jen!" Josh catches up to me, and puts his arm on my waist. I look at him and kiss him on the forehead.

When we get to the kitchen. I tell Josh, "I changed my mind, I don't want a sandwich, I want pizza!" I open the fridge, and look through with disappointment. "Aww, there's no pizza here!" I laugh, and whine.

I grab Josh's arm, and we skip back to the living room and we jump on my big couch. We're laughing so loud, I bet the neighbors can hear us. Only I don't really care.

"Thank you for being my best friend." I giggle, and rub his nose with mine. "Well, thank you for being my best friend." He kisses my nose.
Both of his hands are on my face. "We can order pizza if you want?" He whispers close to my face.

I laugh. "It's past midnight you silly Goo...."

The whole world stops.

Thank you so much for reading my first chapter! I'll try and update once a week, and publish on a Sunday, or a Monday.
