AUTHORS NOTE: Ok so this is a pretty short chapter, I thought I'd leave the leaving cinema bit until the next chapter as I thought this had a better ending for a chapter. Hope you enjoy! Thank you yet again for the reviews :) A new chapter shall be up either tonight or tomorrow morning so don't worry that this is short :)

"10 Things I Hate About You" had obviously been the right choice, Eric thought to himself as Sookie sat down next to him in the back row of the cinema. Yes. Very good choice, as she held his hand and moved as close to him as possible between two cinema seats in a not-so-crowded cinema. He had never watched it before, but Pam had said it was something called a "Chick Flick" and that girls supposedly liked it. When he heard the sigh escape every female at the entrance of Heath Ledger, he understood why. Was it bad that he was slightly jealous that Sookie was one of the females sighing at the way Heath looked at Julia Styles? Maybe he should look at Sookie like that, if he doesn't already that is. Maybe they were similar to the characters in some ways, started off hating each other, now very much liking each other.

Well liking was an understatement to how he felt about Sookie. A serious understatement. He would bring whole armies down to protect her. He would cross oceans and deserts and mountains to be with her. Maybe you should tell her that?

"Well maybe you're not afraid of me but I'm sure you've thought about me naked, huh?"

Sookie and Eric both simultaneously gulped. Eric had thought about Sookie naked. A lot. More than a lot. Sookie was embarrassed about how many dreams she'd had that pictured him naked.

"You are amazingly self-assured, has anyone ever told you that?"

"I tell myself that every day, actually."

Huh. Well at least Eric now knew that he wasn't the only self-assured man in the world. Did that mean Sookie liked that about him? Maybe she secretly liked his cockiness. He made a mental note to ask Pam about other self-assured characters in Chick Flicks when he got home.

"You know you're not as vile as I thought you were"

Yes. This was definitely them, Sookie thought as she caught a glimpse of Eric, seeing that he was actually watching the film- brows furrowed, a look of concentration on his face. She gently rested her head on his shoulder, finding it surprisingly comfy.

"Don't let anyone ever make you feel like you don't deserve what you want. Go for it."

Eric smiled. This film did have some good points- he did feel like he didn't deserve Sookie at times. Well all the time. He looked down at her; biting her lip, her eyes focussed on the screen, hand in his and so close he could almost kiss her if he wanted. She really was the most beautiful creature he had ever seen. Never before in his life/death had he ever felt so at peace then this very moment, her hand in his, her head on his shoulder. He was not going to screw this up.

"You can't just buy me a guitar every time you screw up, you know?"

"Yeah, I know. But then, you know, there's always drums, and bass, and maybe even one day a tambourine."

Although if he did- he could always buy her a new car, or gravel her driveway, or buy her a new house? And that's before he buys her any jewellery.

AUTHORS NOTE: So what did you think? I know it was short- I didn't really know what else to write, obviously I could have done a kiss in this chapter but I've got a better idea later on- making it a traditional first date and all :L So thank you yet again for all your lovely reviews- again any ideas welcome! As I'm not American I'm not to sure about American restaurants so if anyone could help out with a name that would be fantastic!
