Her shoulders lift up in a shrug as we make our way over to the car after I unlock it. "You took me to the movies in this one, so I like it," she smiles as she walks around to her side and slides herself into her seat. Her reasoning is adorable.
"Ah yes, the rooftop cinema, that was a good night," I smirk as I climb in and place my seatbelt on, remembering all that happened that night. Yes, I had to sit through a romantic movie, eat oil-soaked tacos and slow dance in public, but it was all worth it. She trusted me to take her virginity that night, and fuck if I haven't been hooked on her ever since then.
"We should do it again soon," she suggests as the car roars to life and I begin to navigate it out of the garage. I'm about to be a cheeky shithead and suggest that we've had sex since that night, but I know she's talking about the date that we went on. Never have I put in such effort to plan something that I thought the other person would like for a date. I wanted her to know that I cared, that I listened. I didn't do any of it just to get into her pants, that was just a nice reward for a job well done; I did it because I thought it would make her happy, and apparently, I like that a whole lot more than I like many other things.
"Why don't you check their calendar, see what's coming up in the next month?" I reply as the road begins to open up as we approach the highway. My eyes are focused on the traffic stopping ahead of me, but in my peripherals, I can see the warmth rise in her cheeks as a grin spreads across her lips. She leans her body forward, retrieves her phone from her bag, and begins to type on it as I wait behind a line of cars heading for the highway.
"Anything you refuse to see?" she asks with a small grin.
"Nothing animated," I reply.
"Awwww! Why not?!" I turn my head to see Amelia as she pouts out her bottom lip. A small laugh escapes my lips before I reply.
"Because animated movies are for kids, which I am not."
