24 Hours GF Challenge (Granevere AU)

Chapter Nine

So the crew decided to let Guinevere and Granger film by themselves to make it "less weird" for the two to do as they please. Turns out, they didn't have plans and it was all up to the two to organize the date. Besides, if things go awry, there were security cameras in certain places they can watch from.

Guinevere forced her eyes to stop reviewing her newfound friend. It's a shame that she has to keep her eyes away as he looked so bloody good. The young girl noticed that the boy followed her fashion advice from their call together. Granger was wearing some sinfully skinny jeans with a chain dangling at its pocket. He paired it up with a lose white shirt tucked into his pants and a denim jacket, together with a pair of white sneakers.

"Hm, Korean fashion inspired?" Guin thought to herself. Boy, does he look good.

"You look great, by the way." The girl cooly commented, trying to sound as casual as possible. She had to give credit where credit is due.

The boy smiled at her. "Thanks!" He looked into the camera. "Gus, man, if you're watching this. Thanks, man."

"You look beautiful." Granger commented. He noticed how pretty the girl looked in her thigh-length dress. Her hair look shiny, perfectly pairing with her accessories. Aside from what she was wearing, Granger can't help but feel shy looking at the younger girl's face. So radiant and angelic.

Guinevere smiled, rolling her eyes and mouthing 'i know'. She was desperately hiding her warm face.

"Wow, the ego of this girl.." Granger coughed to get the tension out of the air. "Anyway..."

"So we're here to do a 24 hours Girlfriend Challenge." Guinevere smiled at the camera, seated at the front seat whereas Granger was the assigned driver.

"Yup." Granger felt so damn nervous that he thought he needed to pee.

"So what do you want to do?" Guinevere looked at Granger with her deep green eyes. "I have no idea how these things go."

The boy laughed. He wished he can just go home and play ML with her, but it has to be a formal date according to Alu. "Hm, do you want to go shopping?"

"I would love to! But I bet you would hate it."

"How so?"

"Oh you would never want to know. Let's just say, I'm very particular with what I buy."

"How about.." The older teen trailed off as he wracked his head for any ideas. "We go to the movies?"

Guinevere considered it. It's a pretty basic date, so she agreed. "Sure!"

Once they arrived at the new movie theater, they ordered their tickets and bought some snacks. The whole video production is sponsored by Top Tier, so they didn't really care.

Granger was holding up the camera as he was the taller one. The boy felt uncomfortable vlogging, but what can a man do?

"So today we're watching this Oscar nominated movie called 'Parasite.' Have you heard of this movie, Grange?"

Granger bit his lip at the nickname to suppress a smile. He found it so damn cute. "Yup, I have." He responded looking down at the girl. He was a foot taller than her.

"I heard it's really good." Guin continued. "An eye opener to the wealthy."

"Yeah." Granger thought. "Wealthy people like you."

They entered the cinema and chose some seats. The two agreed on sitting a little further back, to get a nice view of the screen. Once they were seated, the film began playing.

He heard the girl's soft reactions, trying to keep as quiet as possible for the other moviegoers. Granger prayed that she couldn't notice his eyes looking at her delicate face.

The film wasn't a horror movie, suspenseful yes, but not terrifying. It was best to keep it that way. The two teens chatted from here and there, discussing about what would happen next or the injustices in the film. Guilt etched on the younger girl's face as she was guilty of some of the scenes. Especially wherein the mom was thanking the storm and calling it a blessing.

"I always called it 'cuddle weather'. I wasn't mindful that homes were being flooded because of the rain."

Granger patted her head. He was glad for the girl having realizations about her privileged upbringing.

An air of awkwardness wafted in the room as the rich couple in the movie decided to touch each other and whispered dirty sensualities to each other's ears. Guinevere visibly looked down as the boy looked away in discomfort.

"That was so weird." The girl commented. Granger could only nod.

"What the fuck." Granger cringed. "Did not see that coming."

Guinevere's legs began to shiver and she crossed them to conserve the little bit of warmth left in her. She sighed and popped a popcorn into her mouth, distracting herself from her shivering legs.

"Cold?" Granger eyed the girl worriedly, watched her pulling her dress to cover the length of her legs.

"Kinda." The green-eyed girl laughed awkwardly.

Granger thought for a second and removed his denim jacket then placed it on the girl's legs, mindful to not touch her. He was scared on what the girl's brother might say or do. Lancelot is an Olympic fencer after all.

"Thanks, Grange."

"You're welcome."

Guinevere looked as Granger placed his jacket on her cold lap. The boy's musky smell made its way to her nostrils, inducing a blush from her cheeks. She inwardly thanked the gods for the dim lights.

Does he smell good? Check.

"You smell good." Guinevere's words seemed to spill out of her mouth unwillingly. Her hands flew up to her mouth, shocked at what she just said.

"Do I really?" Granger laughed and smelled his shirt quickly. "Thanks, Guin."

Granger didn't know why he was giggling like a high schooler. He didn't know he can giggle. The boy felt a cringe coming up from the pits of his stomach at his own actions.

"Was that a weird thing to say?"

"No, not really."

"Well then, what perfume do you use? Do you use fabcon on your clothes?"

"Oh.. um." Granger scratched his head. "It's a perfume I got as a gift for Christmas."

"How many hours have we been together?" Guinevere asked with air quotation marks on the word 'together'.

Granger glanced at his phone and replied. "About four hours already."
