Not The Life I Expected

Chapter Twenty-Five

We make the eight hour trip to New York, that seemed almost forever. The hotel we checked into wasn't as nearly as nice as the one we were in, while staying in Ohio. But I stilled liked it a bit. No matter the hotel, I always enjoy staying in New York. It's one of my favorite places we visit while touring. 

Once again, we booked a room next to Arin so if anything goes down again, he'll be there for the recuse. We start our visit at the movies, we don't go to the movies often but we always find a good movie to see. We all decided to see Expendables 3, I've been dying to see this movie! I have to admit that I'm a big Jason Statham fan, he does look good for his age. 

We all get popcorn and some drinks, and sit down in the theater. I sit in between Arin and Brian, it feels like my heart is in my throat. The more I try to push my feelings away from Arin, the more he makes me weak at the knee's. Sitting next to him doesn't necessarily help, sitting next to Brian doesn't help either. I can't help but be nervous around them both. Arin makes my feelings grow stronger almost every time we speak, and I can't shut off my feelings. Brian is just Brian. I'm nervous I will say the wrong thing and he'll come around, and slap me across the face. 

The movie is already halfway over, and it hasn't felt that long. Movies that I enjoy always go by too quickly. Brian whispers over to my ear, "I'll be back." I nodded my head and put my attention back to the movie. They put too much butter on me and Brian's popcorn, so I was sharing with Arin. I had all my attention to the movie when I reached over to grab some popcorn. Arin happened to be reaching for popcorn and our hand touch each other. 

I quickly pulled my hand away to my lap, but Arin takes my hand and interlocks our fingers. It felt like we were the only two people on earth. Holding his hand felt so right, I enjoyed it. The butterflies in my stomach were going insane, plus the twins were kicking. They always kicked when I'm around Arin, they barely move for Brian. 

We quickly let go of each other's hands when we notice Brian coming back into the theater. Brian kisses my cheek just as he sits down, and I put a small, fake smile across me face. I glance over at Arin as he glances over at me, we both smile at each other. 

The movie eventually ends and we all go back to the hotel. I walk into the hotel room with Brian and I immediately lay myself down on the bed. "That was a great movie." I say. Brian chuckles and sit next to me, rubbing my stomach. 
"Yeah, it was..." He sighs. I sit myself up and look over at him. "How come the boys barely kick when I'm around?" I shrug my shoulders and shake my head, 
"I don't know. It happens to most father's." I try explaining to him. 
"Do they kick for anyone else?" I shake my head no, not trying to make it obvious that I'm lying. "Just you?" I nod my head. Brian chuckles, and smiles at me, "I guess they're going to be mommy's boys, huh?" I smile and nod, 
"Hopefully."
