| Chapter Nine |
| Whitney: Nikki, Abs and I all rode in the same car together to the movies. Scott drove his own and J drove by himself too. I was looking forward to this, but was worried at the same time. We parked and got out of the car. J was standing next to his car, leaning against it waiting for us. I smiled sheepishly at him and stood by Nikki's side. Scott pulled in next to us and got out. I took a deep breath and smiled at him. He smiled and shut his door. We all walked in. It took us a few minutes to decide what to see, but we decided on a romantic comedy. We walked through the big doors and headed toward our theatre. We handed the guy our tickets and he ripped them and handed back the stubs. We entered our theatre. Nikki walked up the steps and headed down on of the aisle of seats. Abs quickly followed. I stood there a minute, not knowing who I was to sit by. Scott headed down the aisle next. I looked back at J and he motioned for me to walk. I headed next and sat next to Scott and J sat next to me. Great. We sat back and waited for the movie to begin. Scott: I saw Whitney looked a bit nervous as J sat next to her. Did she like him? Did she like me? All I could think of was how good her hair smelled and how close she was sitting next to me. Her arm rested on the seat rest next to mine. She was looking straight ahead as I gazed over at her. I looked past her to J who was looking at her as I was. He looked away as I looked over. The lights dimmed and the previews started up. Once we got through those, the lights went all the way down. Whitney shifted in her seat, her arm against mine. I moved my hand toward hers. She looked over at me and gave me a sweet smile. I turned my hand over and slid it under hers so our palms touched. She slipped her fingers through mine and I smiled. I heard something and looked over at her. J was staring at me hard. Luckily, Whitney didn't seem to notice. J frowned at me. I let go of Whitney's hand and she looked over at me. "Meet me outside," I whispered in her ear. I got up and walked out. Whitney : I looked over at J who watched Scott leave. What was that all about? Nikki was leaning over Abs trying to ask me something. I leaned toward her. "Where did Scott go?" she whispered loudly. Abs looked over at us. I shrugged. I sat back again and looked over at J. I stood up and left the theatre. I found Scott standing out in the empty hallway. "Hi," he smiled. "Hey," I breathed. "What was that all about?" I asked, pointing toward the theatre. "Everytime I touch you practically J's all over me. I had to get out of there," Scott explained. "Sorry," I said, loweing my head. "Hey, its not your fault," Scott said, putting his hand on my face. I looked back up at him and he stepped closer to me. "I just wanted to be closer to you," he whispered as he leaned down. I closed my eyes and he kissed me softly. I returned the kiss and wrapped my arms around his neck. J popped into my mind and I shoved him out of it. He wasn't going to ruin this perfect moment. Chapter Ten... |
