“Just admit that you find him attractive – for me! You cannot be the only girl on this planet that does not think he’s gorgeous. I refuse to believe it!”
I laughed. “Of course I think he’s attractive. Anyone with working eyeballs can see that he is beautiful. Scientists should conduct a study on his whole family... replicate their DNA or something.”
“How are they that good looking? It’s not normal.”
“I’m sticking with my theory from fourth grade. They’re aliens.”
Shelly and I spent the rest of the day together, until I heard Chase’s engine roar outside at six o’clock.
“He’s here!” I shouted into the hallway.
“Wait! Let me see you!”
I rolled my eyes as she burst out of the bathroom to survey my outfit for approval.
Her grin spread from ear to ear. “You look nice.”
“Can I go now?”
“You may. Have fun.”
Chase was leaning against his car, the passenger door already opened. His arms were crossed over his chest, making his upper body appear even bigger than it already was. He was a walking Abercrombie ad. I could never deny that he was attractive, but that was easier to ignore back when I did not know him. Now, his personality only made him appear more perfect. I averted my eyes from his body parts as I approached him.
“Wow.”
I raised an eyebrow. “Wow, what?”
“Wow, you. You look great.”
I looked down at my outfit. A t-shirt with jeans tucked into boots signaled the fall weather had officially arrived. “I must have looked pretty shitty this summer if you’re wowed over this.”
“This,” he gestured, “deserves to be wowed over – no matter what you’re wearing. Your Cookie pajamas were cute, but I am a sucker for tight jeans.”
“I think you’re a sucker for whoever is inside of tight jeans.” I slid into the passenger seat.
He leaned in to clip my seatbelt. “I’m really just a sucker for whatever pants you’re inside of.” His cologne wafted into my nostrils as he lingered, his lips inches from mine. He backed out and closed the door with a smirk on his face.
His advances were bolder lately – and harder to ignore. Determined to change the subject, I looked out the window at the menacing sky. “I hope those clouds hold off until we’re inside the theatre.”
“I love the rain. It’s calming.”
“It is perfect movie weather.”
When we pulled up, the line for tickets was winding out the door. The only parking spots available were at the far end of the parking lot. He shifted the car into park. Then, the sky opened up.
I groaned.
“We have some time. Let’s see if we can wait it out.”
We waited, and waited, but the rain did not relent.
“Okay. Look, don’t be mad,” he started. “I have a confession to make. Promise you won’t be mad?”
I turned to face him. “Mad? Why would I be mad?”
“Well, I checked the movie times earlier and saw that this movie was selling out fast. So I ordered the tickets online.”
“And why would that make me mad?”
