Oh, look… wow… we’re at the same movie at the same time?
Mila stares up at me and knows this is all bullshit.
That makes her even more attractive to me.
She’s not some bubbly girl who wants to look at the stars and say that fate brought us together. She’s not into that kind of stuff.
She’s just… real.
“You’ve got to be kidding me,” Mila says.
“Do you mind walking?” I ask. “I want to get a decent seat. I’ve heard good things about this. Should be a blast, right?”
She looks at my popcorn. And my drink.
I’m in full movie mode here.
I’m ready to have some fun.
An indie horror movie made by someone right here on campus?
Sounds like an awesome night!
I’ll never tell the truth if I really feel that way or not.
But let me say this - I don’t mind a scary movie.
Mila faces forward and finally begins to move.
She’s casually looking left to right, trying to find a seat.
There are plenty of open seats.
“Got to get on the end,” I say to her. “But not too close to the screen. Although this screen is a little bit small.”
“I’m going to sit by myself where I want,” she calls back to me.
Now the smile on my face is even bigger.
I am such a dick right now. And I don’t care.
She’s here alone.
Perfect.
That tells me her ‘situation’ is exactly what I think it is.
I can picture it now.
Ward wrapping his lips around a shot glass like he’s sucking off some frat boy. Shot after shot, dedicating his college life to booze and forgetting all about the woman he has.
I’m not here to play relationship expert. I’m not even here to play being the nice guy and giving Mila a shoulder to cry on if she needs it.
I’m here to make sure Mila knows there’s another option.
