serendipity - johnny depp

4. movie night

BELLA

It took us about 15 minutes to get home, and Johnny offered to make dinner at his place, so I quickly went to my condo to change into some sweats and a t-shirt so I would be more comfortable.

We decided on some pre-made frozen pizza, so all we had to was take it out of the freezer and put it in the oven for about 30 minutes. Considering we couldn't afford a glass of wine every evening, I made some tea and we drank it while talking about nonsense really.

The oven beeped, signaling it was ready, and Johnny stood up and grabbed a towel to take it out. I quickly grabbed some plates and I grabbed three pieces, while Johnny grabbed four. "Let's eat on the couch, I wanna watch a movie." 

I nodded excitedly at the thought, and grabbed a blanket big enough for both of us, and went over to the couch. Johnny set his plate in the table in front of us, and grabbed his cassette of the movie Scarface.

"I swear this is the best movie I've ever seen, I think I've watched it about 5 times since it came out," he admitted.

"Why? What's so great about it?" I asked as he sat down next to me and grabbed some of the blanket to cover his legs.

"I don't know, I guess it's Al Pacino, Michelle Pfeiffer, too, oof." 

I laughed as he gushed over about them. "Yeah, yeah let's see if it's as great as you say it is, or maybe it's just you crushing over Michelle Pfeiffer." 

He laughed as he took a bite out of his pizza. "Shit, I'm screwed." He burst out laughing as the opening credits started rolling.

To be honest, I really was liking the movie. It was funny with lots of action and suspense, which made me stay focused. We had both finished our dinner by now too. My head was resting on Johnny's shoulder, and his arm was protectively around me.

"You tired?" Johnny looked down at me and whispered quietly. "A bit," I admitted.

"Don't worry, there's only 20 minutes left, then we can sleep." I hummed in response and he pulled me a bit closer. I loved how this didn't feel weird or uncomfortable at all. We were just two really good friends, no awkwardness involved.

"Do you have to shoot tomorrow again?" I asked him after a while. "Yep, do you wanna come with me?" 

"Well, it would save me from being all alone and bored so yeah." He smiled and turned his attention back to the TV.

"Thank you, really," I said. 

"For what, for coming to set? Nah, It's-"

"No no, not just for that, for everything. You've really made my days here much easier, and I feel like I've known you for ages now." He smiled as I said this.

"Me too, I don't know why but I feel really comfortable with you, like how home feels. Safe." He chuckled and I snuggled into him a bit more.

"And we've only known each other for 2 weeks. It's crazy." I smiled and played with my fingers.

"I like crazy," he replied, while playing with his hair, putting it behind his ears, a habit I realized he did a lot. I smiled and turned my attention back to the movie.

After about 20 minutes, the ending credits started showing up on the screen. "So! What did you think of the movie?" Johnny excitedly asked me.

I stretched my arms and legs and said, "It was pretty amazing. You were right, Al Pacino really does hit different here."

"I know, I really want to meet him. Imagine how awesome that would be!!" He stood up from the couch, suddenly having tons of energy.

"You will Johnny, don't worry." He smiled and gave me a hand to stand up from the couch. We started doing the dishes and cleaned up the kitchen so there would be no mess tomorrow. When we were done, it was about 1:00 a.m. 

"If you want you can stay the night. That way it'll be easier to leave tomorrow." Johnny said, with a hint of nervousness in his tone. 

"No don't worry about it, I think I'll go over to mine, we're literally 2 seconds away so it's no big deal." He shook his head and said, "Of course, yeah. I'll take you there."

We closed his door and arrived literally 5 seconds later in mine. "Thank you, Johnny, you really didn't have to walk me here." He pulled me close and hugged me tightly. 

"Anything for you kid." I laughed at his new nickname and playfully nudged his back. "Hey! You're not allowed to call me that! I'm only 2 years younger than you are."

He chuckled and put his head over mine. "Yeah, but you're still so small." He tickled the sides of my torso which made me giggle and try to get out from his grasp.

"Stop!" I managed to breathe out, still laughing as he pulled away. He gave me a warm smile, which made my insides melt. 

"Goodnight Bella, I'll come over tomorrow." He leaned over and gave me a soft kiss on the cheek. 

"Goodnight Johnny." I smiled back at him and entered the apartment door. Going into a very deep and peaceful sleep.
