Because of the traffic, I arrived a little late.. The restaurant was really big - and also kind of fancy.
This restaurant looks nice. I thought. It's beautiful.
I found Thomas, who was wearing his mexican disguise again. That cheered me up, because I always laughed whenever Thomas wore that disguise. I sat with him.
"Hey Thomas." I said.
"Hi." He smiled.
I tried to smile. I've been silent for a while. Thomas noticed that I was kind of sad.
"Uh, something wrong?" He asked, worried.
"Well... I broke up with Mordecai."
"Wow. I'm sorry about that..."
"It's alright... I've done the right thing." I said. "He will be happier with Margaret."
"Are you still going to talk with each other?" Thomas asked, curious.
"Yes. Well, I may not have feelings for Mordecai anymore, but I still want to be his friend. I hope he accepts the fact that I'm not in love with him anymore."
After a while, I said:
"I told Mordecai that I knew that he loved Margaret. And I was actually right. When I asked him if he secretly waited for Margaret to come back, he didn't have any words to say. Because of that, I told him that he would be a lot happier with Margaret, and I would be fine with them together. I mean, they totally deserve each other."
Thomas nodded, but he didn't say anything.
"However, it hurts me, now that we broke up." I said, sighing. "I had good times with Mordecai. He's a cool guy and all, but I only want to be his friend. Nothing else."
I tried to not to cry. It was sad that Mordecai and I broke up, even though I respect the fact that he loved Margaret more than me. I just hoped things to get better soon. Thomas looked at me, making a sad face. He hated to see me sad.
"CJ... Look, I want to cheer you up." He said. "You can order anything you want to eat. Who knows maybe we have some dessert?"
I looked at him.
"What do you think?" He asked, smiling a bit.
"Okay." I tried to smile.
I ordered a shrimp lasagna - my favorite type of lasagna. Thomas ate with me, since there was TOO much lasagna... At least we could eat some Petit Gâteu, which it was delicious.
After the restaurant, Thomas and I went to my house. I made some popcorn and I bought some candies, like M&M's and Skittles - I can tell you that I'm a big fan of candies. However, I don't eat them a lot. I only eat junk food on weekends.
We watched some cartoons, like Rocko's Modern Life and also the old Simpsons episodes.
Fortunately, it was Friday, so I could be awake for a long time.
At about 10:40 p.m, there was a romantic movie on TV called "Enough Said". I've heard that it was a good movie, so I wanted to watch it. However, I didn't know if Thomas liked these Romance movies ( I think none of the men like.. ).
"So yeah... this movie seems interesting." I said. "But it's a romance movie.. I don't know if you would like it."
"Oh, I've heard about it. And well..." He started blushing a little. Then he whispered: "Please, don't tell anyone... But... I actually like romantic movies."
I looked at him, surprised.
"Wow, seriously?" I said, happily, but giggling a bit. I've never seen a guy that enjoys romance movies.
"Don't make fun of me!" He said, embarassed, but laughing too. "I know it's pretty weird to like these kind of movies.. But I can't hate them.. I enjoy watching them.."
I was still giggling. "It's okay. I don't think it's bad at all. I think it's nice to finally meet a guy that enjoys these movies. For example, Mordecai never really liked them. And I think none of my guy friends like them either."
Thomas was still blushing.
"Want to watch it?" I asked.
"Sure."
So we watched it. The movie was really sweet, and also funny.
Well, I kind of admit that I took a look at Thomas sometimes, while we were watching the movie. He took off the mexican disguise, since he was in my house. He was actually enjoying the movie, which made me happy, since none of my guy friends enjoyed watching romantic movies. Also, I must admit that Thomas was... uh.. attractive ( I've said this before, but I just noticed that he's even more attractive than the first time I met him ).
When Albert and Eva ( the protagonists of the movie ) kissed, I looked at Thomas. He looked at me too. We smiled at each other. Then, he was concentrated on the movie again. I tried to not look at him... And well, I looked at his hand.
Well... Should I do this?... I thought, embarassed.
So yeah, I did it - I.. held Thomas' hand. He looked at me, blushing. I kind of blushed too, but I tried to smile at him. He smiled at me too, but I noticed that he was sorta nervous. Then, we tried to watch the movie again. However, we were still holding hands. I started blushing even more when I noticed that Thomas didn't want to let go of my hand.
The movie ended. We finally stopped holding hands.
"What did you think?" I asked.
"It was pretty good. Probably one of the best romantic movies I've ever seen."
"Yeah, agreed. It was so sweet and funny." I said.
We looked at each other. I was still kinda nervous because we held hands.
"So, uh.. What do you want to do?" I asked, nervously.
"Um.. Is there anything good on TV?"
"Let's see..."
We looked at all of the channels. There was nothing good on TV...
"Geez, everything sucks right now.." I said.
"Yeah.."
I turned off the TV. I noticed it was midnight already. I was getting sleepy.
"I'm feeling tired..." I said, after a while.
"Me too.."
We looked away.
"So uh... I think I should go now." Thomas said, nervously.
"Okay."
We stood up. I opened the door for him.
"See you tomorrow?" He asked.
"Yes." I smiled.
He hugged me. I blushed a little.
"Good night, CJ." He said, when he looked at my face, smiling at me.
"Good night..."
He walked away, and I went back to my house, closing the door. I wore my pyjamas, brushed my teeth, and I went to bed. I kept thinking about Thomas holding my hand. He didn't seem uncomfortable..
He actually enjoyed holding my hand, since he didn't let go of it.. I thought, still blushing.
