Chapter 4:
Buz! Buz! Anna's phone rang at 10:30 in the morning.
"Who the fuck…" she groaned and checked it.
Unknown: The Dot, 11:30?
-Adam
She smiled and replied,
You: Sure, meet you there : )
Anna put her phone on her night stand and got ready to meet Adam.
"Hey Clare!" she called.
"Yeah?"
"Can I borrow that yellow shirt? You know, the one with the-"
"Riffles? Here." Clare replied and threw the shirt at her.
"Thanks."
"Where are you going?" Clare asked as she walked inside, and sat down on the bed.
"Sure, you can come in." Anna mumbled, changing into the shirt.
"Answer my question."
"You know, this would look good with my brown belt…" Anna replied, encoring Clare.
"Anna…"
"Yes?"
"Where are you going?" Clare repeated.
"Oh! Just to the Dot with Adam."
"Like a date?" Clare asked puzzled.
"No silly! He has a girlfriend." Anna said, admiring herself in the mirror.
"Do you like him?"
"Yeah, he's a good friend."
"You know what I mean Anna." Clare said in monotone. Anna shrugged.
"I don't know… maybe, but it doesn't matter, he has a girlfriend." she sighed slightly.
"Well, you never know…" Clare replied.
"Don't say shit like that Clare, you and I both know he's head over heels for that Felicia girl."
"Fiona." Clare corrected. Anna turned her head slightly to face her.
"Same difference." Clare rolled her eyes and laughed, getting up to leave.
"By the way, that would look cute with your brown belt." she smiled slightly and left the room.
Anna walked slowly up to the Dot. She reached for the door, and saw Adam through the glass window. She opened the door and the bell rang. Adam looked up and smiled, waving her over. Anna smiled too, and walked over to the table.
"Hey, glad you could come." he smiled, getting up to hug her. She hugged him back, and smiled wide.
"It's no problem." Anna took a seat.
"So, you want anything? It's on me." Adam smiled.
"Umm, a hot chocolate please?" she smiled shyly. Adam nodded, ordered their drinks, and sat back down.
"Ugh, sorry for texting you out of the blue, it's just, Fiona canceled plans and I was bored so…"
"So you texted me because Fiona canceled plans, and you were bored… nice to know." Anna rolled her eyes.
"Oh damn, that came out wrong…" Adam bit his lip.
"You want to clear it up?"
"I really wanted to spend time with you." He tried again, and flashed his famous smile that made Anna weak.
"You're forgiven." What could she say, that smile.
"Good." she sipped her hot chocolate and Adam cleared his throat.
"Let's get out of here." he replied.
"Excuse me?"
"Let's see a movie or something." Anna laughed.
"Sure. Oh! The new Friday the 13th is out!" she smiled.
"A girl who like gore? Awesome!" Adam smiled wide.
"Are you kidding? I love that shit!" she laughed and stood up. Adam laughed too, and resisted the urge to take her hand. They walked to the theater and bought the tickets.
"I'm so excited! Is that sad…?" she bit her lip.
"No, not at all, I'm excited too." he put his arm around her, and she turned away to blush in private. Once they got the popcorn and the candy, they choose seats in the back.
"Just to let you know, I find this gory stuff hilarious." Anna laughed, sitting down.
"Me too. You should see me and Eli." Adam laughed, remembering past guys nights. Anna opened her box of candy and stared at the blank screen. The movie finally started, filling in the awkward silences between them. At one point, Adam put his arm around Anna's chair, and she bit her lip hard, being thankful the room was dark so she could blush. Between their laughs and crude comments, they shared glances at ear other. One glance in particular was long, and Anna could feel Adam's eyes on her. She finally turned and smiled at him, sending goose bumps up and down Adam's spine. He couldn't resist, he leaned in and kissed her. Anna kissed him back, placing her hand on his cheek, and he placed his hand on her waist. A loud scream made them jump and the released. Anna gasped, and mumbled,
"Holy crap."
"Ugh…" Adam replied and Anna got up.
"I have to go." she walked out of the theater and Adam followed her.
"Anna wait!" she turned around and he ran up to her.
"I-I'm sorry…" he bit his lip.
"Don't be Adam, I've wanted you to do that, ever since the first day I meet you." Anna blurted and Adam looked up at her, red faced.
"Y-You did?" Anna nodded.
"Oh." Adam nodded. "Look Anna, you're a great girl and all-"
"But you don't like me like that."
"And Fiona…" Anna's heart sank at the sound of her name.
"I-I understand."
"I really am sorry." Adam sighed.
"No, don't be. I should go…" Anna waved weakly at Adam, and he did the same to her. She walked through the clear glass doors and walked home, crying harder then she had ever cried before.
