**Henry’s POV**
“I don’t want to stay here anymore, let’s go home…” her voice trembled as she clung to me.
“Hahaha, why are you scared? I’m right here with you,” I teased, even throwing her a wink.
“Ha-ha-ha, fine, you’re the brave one and I’m just the coward!” she pouted.
We were at the cinema watching a horror movie. She was the one who asked for it, yet she’s also the one begging to leave.
“Henry…” she called softly.
When I turned to her, she was pouting again, her eyes begging me to say *yes* and get out.
This is exactly what I meant. I can’t stand it when she does her *cute act*—because whenever she does, all I want to do is squish her face and kiss her. Maybe that’s what happens when you’re a couple: no matter how cheesy or cringe things get, you just don’t care anymore.
“Ms. Kylie Fert Dantre… soon-to-be Mrs. Llon,” I said dramatically. Yieee, why am *I* the one getting giddy?
I laughed when she hid her face like a turtle, her cheeks turning red in embarrassment.
Ahh… I’ll never get tired of that pretty face.
I’m always drawn to her. I always want to hug her and shower her with kisses.
Even if she’s childish at times, I love her exactly as she is.
“H-Henry, d-don’t call me that,” she stuttered.
“Hahaha, why not? You really are going to be my wife someday!” I teased.
“Cheh! Let’s just leave already. Why did you even pick this movie?”
“Because you lost in truth or dare.”
“And of all things, I had to pick dare… and now you’re abusing it!”
I held her hand and chuckled. “Sorry.”
“Well, you chose it,” I teased her again.
She pouted more.
“Shhh, sorry now,” I whispered as I hugged her and kissed her forehead.
She was acting like a baby again.
“Fine, let’s just leave and eat instead.”
That’s another thing I love about her—when you want to apologize, you don’t even need words. Just buy her favorite food and everything’s forgiven.
“T-truly? But what about the tickets you paid for?”
“If you want, I’ll just go out and text you where I am. Is that okay?”
“O-okay… it’s up to you.”
“Let’s go.”
“Okay,” she nodded, and I wrapped my arm around her shoulder as we left the cinema.

**Outside the Cinema**
“Where do you want to eat?” I asked.
“Hehe, you already know,” she smiled.
I pinched her cheek. “Hahaha, you really never get tired of that place, huh?”
“Never! I’m a stick-to-one type of girl,” she teased.
“Suuus. Alright then, let’s go.”
Can you guess where she wanted to eat?
Of course… McDonald’s. Always McDonald’s. I don’t even know what kind of magic that place has on her, but wherever we go, that’s what she looks for first. Sometimes I even joke she’s craving like a pregnant woman—but nah, we’re not there yet.
Joke’s on me, right?
A few minutes later, we were already at McDonald’s.
“So, what are you ordering?” I asked.
“Uhm…” she thought carefully.
“Can I have one piece of chicken… chicken nuggets too… extra rice… two ice creams… and this burger. That’s all, thank you,” she said cheerfully.
“Wow… and that’s why your cheeks keep getting rounder!” I teased, pinching her face again.

When the food arrived, she accepted the tray with her usual sweet smile.
“Yes! Thank you!”
“Let’s dig in!” she cheered, looking as happy as a kid about to eat candy.
Sigh. Girls like her are rare. For me, she’s one of a kind—unique in every way. That’s why I feel so lucky to have her. Every time I see her, I fall for her all over again.

**After Eating**
“Henry, where are we going next?” she asked.
“Secrettt.”
“There you go again with your secrets! Every time you do that, I end up in trouble!”
“Hahaha, it’s something fun, don’t worry, my princess,” I winked.
“Asusss. Fine. Let’s go.”
“Okay, but wait for me outside. I need to pee first. Just a minute, okay?”
“Fine, I’ll wait for you,” she smiled.
I kissed her forehead. “Wait for me, alright?”
“Yeah, yeah, go already. You act like you’re leaving for hours, hahaha.”
“If my bladder wasn’t about to explode, I wouldn’t even leave!”
“Yeah, yeah, go already, shoo shoo,” she teased, pretending to push me away.
“Fine! Your wish is my command.”
