Thread: Having Her

Had it been annoying? Perhaps, but she was reconfirmed about her nervousness the moment she had seen him walking to her in the theater, looking the way he did. Sure, he probably looked like that all the time. It was like needing a double take. At first sight, yeah, anyone could see he was a looker. At second glance, it really started to sink in. This was her second glance, seeing him walk to her. Oh yeah, she did well in saying yes to him. Even if it was to get him off of her back and because his constant asking until she said yes had started to bother her, in that moment she had started realizing that perhaps the best thing she ever did was saying yes to him. As they walked into the line to purchase the tickets, she heard herself gulp audibly, her hands fiddling nervously together. A horror flick? He was joking, right? Watching him purchase the tickets, it stunned her for two reasons. One that he paid for the tickets and two that he wasn't kidding about the horror flick. She lost her voice for the moment to not able to say anything about it, simply going with it. Also, the way she saw it was if it was a horror movie, at least he would be there. Sky knew long enough that she and horror movies did not go hand in hand unless she had a pillow in her hands and ear plugs in her ears. She had neither of those. It was official, she'd be up for a long night. Looking to him, she felt a little bit at ease. So perhaps he chose the horror movie purposely, as a way for them to 'enjoy' as he said. What did that mean exactly? Would he get his kicks in watching her squirm and freak out, quite possibly scream in the situation? Just the thought of it made goosebumps arise on her skin already, she pulling the flaps of her cardigan closer on her. Chilly night, indeed but it just got chillier inside where she was sure the thermostat was not in its sixties but in a comfortable seventies. Okay. She managed meekly, swallowing hard. Taking in a deep breath, she let out a soft and calm--well as calm as she could manage--exhale and walked with him. After their tickets were ripped and the were guided to which theater they'd need to go into, the soon approached a concession stand. Looking at him, she bit her lower lip and shook her head. Her appetite for anything candy related--especially the sour belts--disappeared the moment the decision was made evident and clear that they would be watching a horror movie. It's not like she was scared out of her mind. It was different emotions that were contributing factors to it all. Nervousness to agreeing to this date with a guy who was probably too handsome to boot. Fear for a horror movie as well as fear of looking like a fool in front of him. If she were to scream while sitting with him, she'd die a thousand deaths and want the chair to swallow her up so she wouldn't have to face it all. Suffice to say, she was obviously a shy girl. A shy girl with a handsome guy who seemed so sure of himself and confident, it was just a bit daunting but oddly comforting at the same time. Did you want anything? I'd love to pay. He paid for the tickets and she wanted to chip in. It was odd to have things paid for her. It wasn't a feeling she ever grew accustomed to, always believing and always having to fend for herself. She wasn't one to be taken care of. She was used to doing the taking care of. Did he want to take care of her?
