"So what do you guys want to do”? Nancy asked, looking like a gorgeous woman in her Sunday dress, and heels.
"How about, let's watch a movie or something? Then check out the beach”?, Andrew suggested while Zoey nodded in agreement.
"What movie”? Nancy asked, looking excited with what she heard from, Andrew.
"Is Fifty Shades of Grey Darker still showing”? I am shocked because of what I heard from Vincent. It’s one of my favorite movies. I even read the book more than five times. But, to tell you the truth, when I finished reading that book the first time, and decided to read it again, I always skip the s*x scenes. Hahaha!!!! I don't know, but it feels so awkward for me.
"Yes, I think it is." I replied to Vincent making him look in my direction. Those looks are like saying me to notice him in a different way.
"But if you don't like it, just pick something you like." He said, and giving us a thoughtful smile.
Very thoughtful
"No it’s not a big deal, actually. I think I'm the only one here who already watched it." I replied to him.
I don't know what Nancy, and Zoey look like but I think they're just listening to us but I can see Nancy's smile.
"You already watched it”? Vincent asked.
"Yep"! I replied, adding more tone on the last letter.
"When"? He asked me, as, Andrew approached us, and gives us popcorns, and orange juice.
"I was invited by a friend,, and we went at the premier night." I replied, making him look shocked.
"Let's watch it then!" Nancy exclaimed, clapping her two hands. I went to the counter to buy our tickets but it has a long line.
As I was waiting for my queue, I saw a tall man from my peripheral vision. His hair is blonde, and has a broad shoulder. He's definitely an American, and now he's at my back. I don't why I suddenly feel so anxious.
I looked at the man at my back, and he's looking at me intently. To the point that he looks like he's smirking at me.
I decided to look at my cousin's direction but they're too busy talking with each other. It’s nothing. This time, I look at Vincent' side, and he's looking at the man beside me, and I swear, if looks could kill, this man is now dead. Not just dead but brutally dead.
I can feel the man getting closer to me to the point that his hand already touches my butt. I can feel his stares that daggers into the depth of my soul. Yes, that kind of feelings.
"Are you okay”? I heard a deep voice asked me. When I look at whose voice it is, I saw Vincent, and that made me release a sigh I never thought I was holding.
"Aella”? Vincent called, making me realize that I still haven't answered him.
"Oh! Yes. Yes. I'm fine." I told him. I saw the man slowly step backwards. I mean, he backs off when he saw Vincent.
"Why don't you go there, and join them. I'll buy the tickets." He said, pointing to the spot where, Andrew, Nancy, and Zoey are. They're watching us now.
"Are you sure”? I asked, and he nodded.
"Here, use this." I said as I give him the tickets' payment.
He looked at me as if I'm the most stupid person in the world. "No, let me be a gentleman, and pay for it." He said, giving me a smile. I thought he'll yell at me but I was wrong. The smile he gave me is genuine.
"Ahhh... okay. Thanks!" I said as I started to walk away from him, and back to where my cousins are.
Vincent POV
Is she serious? Do I look like I don't have money to pay? That woman, she’s making me feel different things.
When I watched her walking back to her cousins, I saw, Andrew gives me thumbs up. I don't know why but I'm sure that it’s for me.
"Hey man." The man at my back said. I look at him questioningly.
"Is she your girl”? The man asked. What is this man want? Do I look so approachable?
"Yeah! Got a problem with that”? I said to him icily.
"Okay. Okay." Replied the man as he raises his two hands as a sign of surrender.
Aella POV
Vincent sat at my left while Nancy sat on my right as well as Zoey., Andrew sat beside his best friend of course.
When he saw that Vincent sat beside me, he throws me a teasing smile.
This is so awkward. I mean, we're just sitting side by side, and I'm feeling so nervous, and it’s very unsettling especially those kissing scenes, and bed scenes in this movie.
We should have chosen another movie. I can't even look at him, and every time I get nervous I just eat a handful of popcorn, and drinks cola. I’m very messy
As I was putting down the cola on my chair's soda holder, the cola almost fell. Our hands touch, and that made me jerk. Good thing is that my cousins are glued watching the movie, so they didn't notice me.
I swallowed so hard, and look at him carefully, and he is looking at me, darling.
His eyes are so dark? I don't know. It’s like he's going to eat me anytime soon.
The credits roll, and everyone applauds. I sigh.
Good.
After the movie, we ate in a fine dine restaurant because it’s where Zoey wants to eat. It’s very very pricey if you'll ask me. I mean, sure it’s tasty but it’s not very practical.
"Don't start,, Andrew." Vincent said as he look at his best friend.
"Alright then, you pay. If that's what you want.", Andrew replied as he lean back on his chair.
Then a group of teenagers went on our table. Oh goodness!
"Are you, Andrew”? The woman in a flower dress asked my cousin, and he nodded, and gave her a smile. The others almost melted when my cousin smiles. Gosh, I hate this man. He's such a charmer. He stood up as he takes pictures with them.
"Excuse me, are you an Australian artist”? The woman in a green dress asked Vincent.
"No." Vincent simply replied.
"But can we have a picture with you. You're so handsome." The girl asked, making me roll my eyes.
Vincent looked at me, and back to the girl. "You have to get permission from my girlfriend." He said to the girl, and look at me.
What girlfriend?
He has a girlfriend?
Gosh! I'm such an “assumer” if that's even a word.
"You have a girlfriend? Oh.. Where is she”? The girl asked again. Can they just go already? The man has a girlfriend. Leave them alone, will you?
"Go ask her." Vincent said as his fingers points me, like he's introducing me to somebody.
My cousins almost threw the food their eating.
Girlfriend? Me? When? How? I asked myself as I look at Vincent.
"Please”? The girl pleaded me. When I look at Vincent, he shakes his head so I look at the girl.
"Ahhhh... I think, he likes his privacy I mean, he doesn't like to take pictures even with me." I explained to the girl as she nodded, and thanked us.
When they left, I went again on the food, and eat. Our table is very silent, and it’s making my ears bleed.
"That's not true, so can you go back to your meals”? I said as I lean my back on the chair. I saw all of them sighed, and smile.
"Gosh! We thought it’s true.", Andrew said.
"And if it’s true”? Vincent asked. "Are we not compatible”? He added.
And again, that feels so awkward. They're all looking at me like the hell I don't know what.
I do not know what to say.
Let’s just keep quiet.
