"Well, I'm pretty sure we missed the movie..."
They were going to go see Frozen but after talking with Regan for so long after snowboarding they had missed the start. She didn't really care. She (they) smelled really bad and she really didn't want to leave the house again. She was exhausted from her first ever snowboarding experience, but she also didn't want him to leave.
"We can just go check what we have and watch something in the theater."
Though they had missed the showtime they had originally planned on, he really wanted to go despite her offer to stay and watch a movie at her house.
"What was that movie you loved? The one you said you could watch over and over again?"
"OOH! Minority Report! Let's watch that one!"
They went to the theater and found it in the "M" section of her DVD collection. (Yes, she alphabetized her family's DVDs.) She told him to make himself comfortable on one of the many couches and love sacs in the room.
Once the movie had started the inevitable happened and one minute at a time, he ended up a few inches closer to where she was sitting on the couch five feet behind him. It seemed to be the greatest distance he had ever travelled.
What am I doing.. what in the heck am I doing. This. Is. Nuts. You only just met her man, take it slow.
He pressed on anyway, feeling wise as a serpent and harmless as a dove, hoping she didn't notice the fact that he was moving closer to her.
*BOOM!*
Her sister and three friends burst in to the room where they had slowly but surely gravitated towards each other. Aspen jumped on her, giving her a huge hug and Autumn, Lindsay and Mau followed in after. They wanted to know how snowboarding went. (Or, like her mother, they were astonished that the two were still together after nearly 13 hours and wanted to see what was up). They talked for a few minutes, sharing the general happenings of the day. Lindsay and her friends told them about the camping trip they were going to take that weekend and then they left the room.
As the movie came to a close, there they sat, hand in hand. His mind was blown. Completely blown. His heart felt like it was going to blow up, too. Though it had only been 13 hours, they had been through so much together and he really cared about her. It seemed to them that this should be weird; but it wasn't. Everything about the day should have been weird and wasn't... which was weird.
They sat and talked for a while about nothing and everything (*gag*). It was perfect. They acknowledged the non-weird weirdness that had characterized the day.
"This should be weird. I should be freaked out right now. This should be weird. I don't even know what is going on."
"Remember when I didn't know you this morning?"
"Ha! This is weird. Or it should be."
It wasn't the most intelligent conversation the two had shared, but their minds were kinda blown. Then there was the fact that she kept having the same thought cross her mind...
"You've got me whipped.." he said interrupting the thought.
"Well that didn't take long," she joked.
"Remember though, I have three weeks on you."
"Oh yeah. That's weird. It will take me a while to get used to that."
Uh oh...here's that thought again...I really want to kiss him right now...
