I relaxed easily with him beside me as we watched the movie, and I found myself enjoying the nostalgia.
Chum’s hand found mine after a few moments, his warm fingers entwining with mine, and a shiver of delight coursed through me.
We laughed as we watched, and I found myself still mesmerized by the dance scenes, utterly in love with the graceful movements.
By the time the movie came to a close, I was nestled into Chumley’s side, his arm wrapped around my shoulders as I had my legs pulled up on the seat.
The credits rolled, and I closed my eyes for a moment, loving his warmth and charred scent.
“Still as good as you remember?” he asked softly.
“Better,” I sighed as I huddled into him.
“Can I kiss you?”
My heart skipped a beat as a smile spread across my face at his sweetness. At this rate, with them all kissing me, I’d become a pro.
“Sure,” I murmured as my heart fluttered like mad.
I didn’t even open my eyes, my breath catching as he cupped my face and turned my face upwards.
His warm, smooth lips met mine in a tender kiss, and I moved one hand to rest on his chest as we kissed. I decided to take some initiative and try out a few of the moves I’d picked up with Bug. I ran my tongue across his bottom lip, praying I was doing it right as my heart rattled against my ribs.
Chum moaned softly, the sound making a strange heat sweep through me as he opened his mouth and deepened the kiss.
His hand tangled in my hair as he held me in place, his kisses turning hungry.
My stomach rolled flipped as we kissed, butterflies dancing inside me.
And then we broke apart, sucking in mouthfuls of air.
“I’ve never kissed anyone, did I do okay?” Chumley mumbled with a cheesy smile.
I just chuckled and nodded as I gave him a peck on the lips.
“Good movie date?” he asked.
“Definitely. Perfect choice of movie, and perfect everything,” I said honestly as grinned.
He just beamed at me as the credits finished and the screen shut off, plunging us into darkness.
He sighed, hesitating for a moment, and I thought he was going to dive in for another kiss. Instead, he rose and left me in my seat as my heart pounded. Then the light over the popcorn machine sprang on, and he returned to help me out of my seat and gather up our rubbish.
I couldn’t contain the yawn as I covered my mouth with my hand, but he just smiled warmly at me.
“Bed time I think,” he said as he wrapped an arm around my shoulders and pulled me into his side.
My chest tightened at the thought of him coming to bed with me. Was that what he meant? No, surely he wasn’t that forward. Besides, I’d never…
“I’ll walk you to your room,” he added, and I wondered if he’d noticed my sudden wave of nervousness.
As we stepped out of the dark cinema, the light hit me, and I realized nearly everyone was in the leisure room.
Including Bug, who had an eyebrow arched at us.
Chumley smiled at him, not shifting his arm from my shoulders as Diane grinned widely at me and Hadley gave me an intrigued smirk.
Great. They were going to be asking me questions tomorrow.
