Chapter 4: The Movies

Frankie was panicking. All of the movies in the theatre were love movies! She was afraid to watch any of them. Eric looked at the movie list and began to speak.

"How about... Take Me Home? My friend said it was an excellent movie!"

"Uh, yah...sure." She asked for her tickets from the ticket guy.

"Uh, that will be like, about, uh, oh yah! 20 bucks please," he said lazily. Frankie emptied her pockets. She only had 18 dollars!

"Oh no... oh no! Where did all my money go?" Eric stepped to the ticket guy.

"Don't worry, I'll pay for it. Here you go!" And they got the tickets.

When they got in the theatre, they found that the previews had already started. Then the movie started. In the first five minutes, there was already a kissing scene! Frankie was having a fit. She was more nervous than she had been in her life. She was about to get up, but then noticed Eric's arm around her! Her face went bright red. Thoughts raced through her mind. Was she supposed to lean on him? She had never been in this situation. Her heart skipped a beat when he got closer to her. The movie didn't seem to be the issue anymore, it was him. She was so nervous, she could barely breathe. She decided to lean into him. She was surprised.

His body... its so warm...

She could've fallen asleep on him right then, but she didn't. She watched the movie in peace. Until the big romantic kissing scene, that is.

The main character and the woman had just reunited after 20 years of promising to never love another. They look at each other and, well, what do you think? MAKE OUT SCENE!
Frankie was panicking. Eric began to shift his position.

"Frankie?" he started.

"Eric... I..." she said, but he stopped her by putting his finger on her lips. He then removed his finger and began to come closer.

Oh no, he's getting to close to me... much too close. His face... I can feel his breath, its so sweet and wonderful. Oh no, hes getting closer... oh god...

The space between there lips was no more. Frankie slowly closed her eyes. She felt like all the butterflies in her stomach just flew out. She went with the flow. When they were finally done, Frankie pulled away.

"Eric..."

"Its okay Frankie, you don't have to tell me."

"No, I have to... Its just that... I don't know if I can love you!" Eric was surprised. "Look, I have my priorities, you know? I don't know if I can do this, that's all..."

Eric held her hand. "Don't worry. I'll be there to help you. Take your time thinking about it. No rush."

Frankie couldn't help but smile.
