"Jade, it's over now," Beck said, choking back giggles, as a tear-stained face, covered in smudged black makeup, peeped out from under his arm.
"Why did I let you put The Lion King on?"
"Because...um...I don't have a good answer for that. Why did you let me put it on?"
She shrugged, shushing her boyfriend.
"Did you seriously eat all the popcorn?" Beck asked, his hand begrudgingly retreating from the, now empty, bowl.
She shrugged again, placing two fingers on his pouting lips to silence him. Again.
"What's the matter, Jadey? Is my voice so incredibly annoying?"
"It's not just your voice."
"So I'm annoying as a whole?"
"Pretty much."
"Then why are you in my home?"
"Because you have films and coffee and popcorn."
"Ahh...so that's why you stay with me?"
Jade nodded, turning back to the movie, taking Beck's hand in hers. "You also have nice hands."
"I always knew it was all in the hands," he grinned, cupping her cheek. He pressed his lips against hers, not able to contain his smile. If only they could see her now. Without the makeup. Without the attitude. Just Jade.
"Do you have something against The Lion King, Oliver?"
"I do, actually, West," he said, placing a kiss on her temple. "It's stopping me from kissing you." He grabbed the remote to pause the film, leaning within inches of Jade's face.
But he was stopped.
"Oh no, you don't. You don't get to trash talk Disney and then kiss me. That's just not how it works."
"But I love Disney. I just love you more."
"Someone get the barf bucket," she snickered, shifting her weight to touch her cheek with his. Finally, she let him kiss her.
