Chapter 7
Edd was grateful that this school week was shorter than usual. It wasn't that he liked school, he did. It was just that he was excited for Friday night. During the week, he still put all his effort into his work. It was like he had never stopped being that same straight A student from before.
However, when the short school week ended, he rushed home to get ready for his movie date with Marie. He took out a black golf shirt and dress pants for the occasion and put his clothing on his dresser. He went into his bag to take out some homework, only to realize that he did all of it at the school library.
Edd went to his desk and took out his laptop, opening his story on Microsoft Word. His writer's block was gone and, for the past week, he was writing a storm. He thought of a plot and, before he knew it, ended up typing up to 50 pages in total. He thought that Marie had given him inspiration at first but it was the advice of Mr Earl that gave him that.
The day after the date, Edd was at the library early, putting books away, when he passed by a book that caught his eye. He picked it off the shelf and saw the book was called Stones by William Bell. He read the first page and was instantly hooked. Before he knew it, he had thought of plenty of new ideas.
Edd looked up the window and saw that it was dark outside. He looked at his watch and saw that it was 11. Calling it a night, he put away his laptop and climbed into bed.
Edd picked up Marie from her house and they began to walk to the movie theatre Friday evening. Where they lived, there were two theatres. One was the one that the majority of people went but the other one, which they were going to, showed black and white motion pictures, dating back to the early 30s, 40s and, occasionally, 50s. Not many people came here but every night, a decent amount of people arrived.
The couple bought tickets, which were only $3.50 a ticket, and went to see You Only Live Once. They sat in the back row, even though no one else was watching the movie. The couple sat quietly, watching the film. They held hands halfway through and Marie leaned her head on Edd's shoulder.
Soon, the movie ended and the couple went out of the theatre. They both walked home, quietly, since they both liked the silence of the night. Edd reached his hand out to Marie, which she saw and held his hand as well.
They never let go until they got to Marie's house.
The couple were in Marie's bedroom, sitting on the edge of her bed, kissing for the past 3 minutes.
"I want to throw you against the wall and make you mine." Marie said, with tenderness.
"I want to drink you and make you a part of me." Edd replied.
"I want to smash your face with a hammer because you're too cute for me."
"I want to inject you into me so I'll be high off of you."
Marie giggled. "This is pretty funny."
"Not to mention a bit scary and cheesy," Edd said. "I'm really bad at this."
"I don't think you are." She whispered as they kissed again. "I think it's cute."
"Yes, you are." He said.
"Do you want to stay the night?" she asked.
"Okay," he nodded. "I just have to get ready for work tomorrow."
She smiled. "As long as you stay here with me, it doesn't matter."
They lay on her bed, in each other's arms, neither of them caring about changing their clothes.
