Chapter 10

“Wow.” Danielle said walking out of the movie theater.

“Is that a good wow or a bad wow? Wait. Why am I even asking.” he said.

She laughed. “Next time I’ll pick the movie.”

“Next time?” he asked.

She nodded. “Yeah, next time.”

“Well, look who’s here.” A voice said.

Danielle and Bright turned around and found themselves face to face with Amy and Colin.

“Hey guys. What’s up?” Bright asked.

“Amy wanted to see a movie.” Colin said. “You?”

“On our way out. Have fun guys.” Bright said putting Danielle’s hand in his.

Amy scowled and Danielle smiled.

“Bye guys.” She said.

“Thanks for tonight. I had fun.” Danielle said as the pair stood on her front porch.

“I did too.” he said.

“So are you going stay on at the center?” she asked to stall him from leaving.

“I think so.” Bright said.

“Well, good.” Danielle said. “We can always use the extra help.”

“Right. So…” he said.

“So...I’ll see you at school.” Danielle told him as she turned to head inside the house.

“Right. See you Monday.” He replied. “Hey wait.”

She turned back around. “Hmmm?”

He leaned over and gently lifted her chin with his hand and brushed his lips against hers.

“Just that. Night.”

“Good night.” She said, now not sure if she’d be able to physically walk into the house.
