Hand in hand, Adam walked Becky to his car; both stealing glances at each other every chance they got. Once they got to his car he chivalrously opened the door for her helping her inside.
"My lady, your chariot awaits you," said Adam, almost chuckling to himself.
"What a gentlemen," remarked Becky with a playful smile on her face.
Adam sprinted to the other side and climbed in on the driver's side. He ignited the car and they started to drive to their awaited destination. It was an awkward kind of silence but comfortable because they were in each others company.
"Do you want to listen to some music?" asked Adam.
"Sure," said Becky.
At the stop sign before pulling out of her neighborhood, he connected his phone to his radio. He scrolled through his songs and found one. 'Perfect' he thought to himself.
Music filled the car. At first, Becky had a questioning look on her face. It sounded so familiar to her but she couldn't quite place it. As the song progressed, a smile broke on her face and she started laughing out loud and singing along.
Baby don't be gentle, I can handle anything
Baby, take me on a journey, I've been thinking lately I could use a little time alone with you
Crazy, let's do something maybe, please don't take your time. You got me right where you want me
Adam looked over at Becky as she was singing along. Dancing in her seat, she still took his breath away.
"Oh my goodness, Adam! I love this song! I haven't heard Jesse McCartney in the longest time! How did you know?" exclaimed Becky while the instrumental was playing.
"I didn't know. It's one of my favorite songs and I hoped you like it," said Adam.
After the instrumental was over, it went back to the words. They were at a stoplight so Adam turned to Becky and Becky turned to Adam and they belted the words to each other using their hands as mics.
Baby don't be gentle, I can handle anything
Baby, take me on a journey, I've been thinking lately I could use a little time alone with you
Crazy, let's do something maybe, please don't take your time you got me
Right where you want me
They then went into a fit of hysterical laughter. They both were having so much fun with each other. Becky took out her phone and they started trading off songs they thought they'd like until they got to their destination. They arrived at a park. All of the lights were off and no one was there
"Adam? It looks like the park is closed. We got here to late," said Becky.
"No, we came just in time. You trust me, don't you?"
"Of course," said Becky confidently and realizing that she actually meant it.
"Then close your eyes, I'll be right back," said Adam as he got out of the car and slammed his door
Becky did what she was told. What on earth could he be doing? Becky sat in the passenger seat for what felt like forever until she felt her door fling open.
"Keep your eyes closed for me please? I know it's uncomfortable but it's surprise."
"Okay, Adam. I'm trusting you," said Becky.
As soon she got out of the car, she felt Adam's hand in hers again. At that moment she felt a lot better. He guided her up a curb and she felt grass beneath her heels.
"How much further, Adam? I feel like we've been walking for miles," asked Becky.
"Not much further I promise," said Adam as he squeezed her hand for comfort.
They walked a couple more feet and then she felt Adam let go of her hand.
"We're here," he whispered in her ear.
Becky opened her eyes to a scene of lanterns held up by bamboo sticks. As she further he gazed, the lanterns illuminated a screen and in front of it, a couch.
"Adam," she started but Adam interrupted to explain.
"I like you a lot Becky Baker. I didn't want to share you with anyone else tonight. So instead of going to the movie theatre, I brought the movie theatre to us. I know that seems selfish bu-"
Becky interrupted him with a hug. "This is the sweetest thing anyone has ever done for me since I've been at Degrassi. Besides you letting me sing in the musical. Thank you, Adam."
She let go and then kissed him on the cheek and walked over to the couch area. Adam heart was fluttering, his legs felt like they were buckling and he felt as though his feet had been rooted to the ground. In his mind, that moment was on replay.
"Aren't you coming, Adam?" called Becky.
Adam came back to reality and forced his body to move. He felt as if he were floating to the couch area.
"Alright, Mr. Torres, what are we watching on this fine evening?" asked Becky giving him a warm smile.
"Well I didn't know your preferences but I think you'll like this one. It's called A Walk To Remember. Have you heard of it?"
"Yes. It's my favorite movie. You know me so well, Adam," said Becky inching closer to Adam. She gave him another kiss on the cheek and made herself more comfortable on the couch.
Adam felt as though he were in heaven. 'Is this girl trying to kill me?' thought Adam. He got up and put in the movie and set up the projector. He went behind the couch and took out the candy and already popped popcorn in a bag. The movie was starting so he jumped back to the couch and handed her the popcorn and candy.
When the movie began she snuggled up to Adam and put her head on his shoulder. Her head fit between his head and his shoulder as he put his head on top of hers. Their hands found each other. Becky's hand had never felt so at home with his.
