Chapter 3: The Date
~Part 1~
Charlie heard Lisa come in the front door.
'Back so soon?'
'Um yeah Nina wasn't home. Why don't we go see a movie or something? It's still early we could go dancing.'
'Ok'
Charlie was shocked by Lisa's sudden change of heart. Then he remember the fortune cookies.
'Ok I'll just go get ready. So is it movies or dancing?'
'Both. Movie first.'
For the first time in a while she felt happy. Lisa left to get ready.
'I'll be out in a bit.'
Charlie decided it was a good idea. He got up from the desk and headed towards his bathroom. Maybe fortunes were right. Maybe we can be a family now. As they both get ready they think about the future... and the present.
~Part 2~
Charlie was out before Lisa was. He went to the television. Nothing was on so he turned on the hockey game. Lisa finally came out and Charlie stood up and flipped the tv off. She wasn't too dressed up but still beautiful.
'Wow you look great.'
'You don't look too bad yourself'
'Shall we go?'
Charlie extended his arm and she put her arm around his and they left.
~Part 3~
They stood outside the theater looking at the movie titles. Charlie was mumbling incoherently about Spider man, Superman, Xmen, Lord of the Rings, and Star Wars.
'How about Spider man?'
Charlie finally said.
'What about Loves me not?'
'What?'
'The movie. I think it was written and directed by a trick something or another... or how about we just go see fast and the furious two?'
'fast and the furious.'
Charlie handed the usher the money, took the tickets, and they headed inside. They got popcorn, drinks, and free cookie dough bites which they decided to save for Nina since she loves them. Charlie felt like a teenager again. As he sat down next to Lisa he was going over in his mind what this is supposed to mean. They sat there through the credits and the start of the movie every so often taking popcorn and sipping soda. Charlie could see Lisa out of the corner of this eye. He hadn't been on a date in a really long time. They had been switching off for the sharing armrest for half and hour when Charlie decided he should make a move. Lisa had the arm rest then. She Charlie went to put his hand on hers but just as he was about to she grabbed some popcorn instead. So he decided when they went dancing, it would be a better time to try his luck.
