"Oh! Let's go down the dark way!" Alex said turning left, and going down the longer way , under the seats in the Chinese Man Theater, Jordan following along behind her. "Sorry, I just have always liked to go this way. When I was younger, I used to pretend there were monsters here and I had to sneak around and stay out of the light." The both laughed at her younger antics and made their way into the theater. Most of the way up the stairs, Alex stopped and turned to Jordan. "Where should we sit?," she asked.
"Any where, doesn't matter," Jordan replied, waiting for her to make a decision.
She harrumphed and said, " Come on, make a decision some time!" After she noticed he wasn't going to move, she sat down in the two seats to the far left of the theater, only to figure out that the stair rail was going to be in the way, so they had to move up a row.
Quietly they watched the movie. She knew that he was too shy to make a move, so she'd have to do something. About half way through the movie, she leaned over and rested her head on his shoulder, and splayed a hand across his chest. She had never felt so comfortable in her life. Soon, she caught her self gazing at his profile, and was amazed by how the light from the move screen just amplified the glow of his skin. She felt something stirring in the bottom of her stomach. She hadn't ever felt it this strongly before. She was startled as she felt her heart start to race, and her breathing got faster.
Then, her mind summed up her emotions and YELLED You want to KISS him!
Well, she thought, that's never happened before, but she knew, if it was yelling at her... she should do it. She looked back at him, for she had glanced away while she was figuring out her emotions. He still glowed in her vision, and the feeling stirred faster in the lower abdomen. After more time then she'd like to admit, she finally got the nerves up, and leaned up on her elbow, which had been firmly planed on the arm rest, and pressed her lips against his soft cheek. He looked over surprised, but he smiled, returning hers. She settled back down on his shoulder, but this time she moved her arm across to his opposite shoulder, curving her hand around the base of his neck.
He moved his hand up and braced it on her forearm. Again, longer then she'd like to admit, she pulled her hand down from his neck (reluctantly, because it had been SO comfortable) and held his hand. It fit so perfectly, she felt something click on the inside.
By the time she was paying attention to the movie again the Whos and Horton were singing what sounded like a love song, and the chorus line was "I can't fight this feeling". She smiled. Perfect. She waited, trying to get enough nerves to do what she had in mind. Regretfully , the song ended all too early for her nerves to actually be built up. She set her mind and decided to go for it. She leaned across the arm rest, so her face was mere inches fro his and said "I can't fight this feeling any more either" before kissing him.
