Thanks a bunch for reviews, all of you! Sorry this didn't get posted sooner than my other chapters. I've had lots of homework recently. wipes forehead "Phewww!" Well, now this is when Henry and Rika go out to the movies. What do you think will happen? You're about to find out…
Unexpected Feelings
Chap. 4 The Movies
Rika was growing more and more anxious as the days went by. It got worse every single hour, minute, second…and when the time came for Henry to pick her up, she was more nervous than ever.
"You're going to have lots of fun," Mina told her.
"But…I'm still-"
"Don't worry, you'll be fine!"
Rika was silent for a moment, "…..I sure hope so…"
Knock! Knock!
"…It's him…"
"Well, go already!" Mina persisted.
Rika took a deep breath, "…Ok."
"Good luck…and have fun!" Mina cheered her on.
"Oh, boy…" Rika went to open the door.
"Hey, Rika," Henry greeted, "You ready?"
"Yep."
They walked out of the dorm to the parking lot. They both got into Henry's car and drove off.
"So…What movie is it?" Rika asked him.
"Razion Warriors (A/N: Couldn't think of a very good movie title). Just came out last week."
"What's it supposed to be about?"
"I'm not sure, actually. My friend got some free tickets online for it. He said he'd seen it and that it was pretty good. So, I agreed to take the tickets."
"Oh…ok."
The rest of the drive to the theater was silent. When they arrived, they bought some refreshments and found some seats for the movie.
As the movie started and progressed, Rika seemed to be enjoying herself. She really liked action and fighting movies like this one. It seemed to continue as one battle scene after another. Then…one scene came on that Rika did not expect.
"Remenia, wait!" the young warrior prince calls to her.
She spins around, "What for? You can't go out there! I…I don't want to lose you…" she begins to cry.
Rika sighed, Great…the sappy love scene…she hated the sweet, romantic stuff.
"Why do you care so much?" he questions.
"I…I just want to tell you that…" she pauses.
"What is it? You can tell me…"
Remenia looks up at him with tears brimming her eyes, "I've wanted to tell you this for such a long time…I don't know why I haven't said it yet…"
Just then, Rika started to get butterflies in her stomach.
"…I love you……"
Rika was now even more uncomfortable. It reminded her of herself…she hadn't told Henry her true feelings yet, and it was making her miserable…
"Remenia…I love you, too."
As the two lovers kissed on the screen, Rika tried to relax and placed her hand on the arm rest of her chair. Surprisingly, Henry's hand was there, too, and the moment she realized it, she pulled her hand away.
"…Sorry," she apologized."
"It's okay…" Henry smiled.
That smile…Rika loved his smile. So warm, so comforting…Why were her feelings for him starting to take over her? Rika was so confused.
When the movie was over, they drove back over to the college. They walked up the steps leading to the dorm entry.
"So, Rika, what did you think about the movie?" Henry asked her.
"Um…yeah, it was pretty good…"
"I'm glad you liked it."
"Hey, here's some money to cover the popcorn you bought for me," Rika reached into her pocket.
"Hey, don't worry about it. You don't have to pay me back."
"Oh…thanks."
"No problem," he smiled again. It made Rika slightly weak at the knees and she tried not to blush.
"Well…I guess I'll see you later…" he began to walk away.
All of a sudden, Rika blurted out, "Henry, wait!"
He turned around to face her, "What is it?..." he seemed puzzled.
"I…I…" Rika's emotions began to run wild and she couldn't take it anymore. She suddenly pulled Henry into a short, but sweet kiss.
When she pulled away, Henry was in shock, "Uh…Rika…what was-"
"Well, I got to go. Bye!" she ran inside, leaving Henry still stunned.
Rika thought to herself as she quickly went up the stairs, What have I done?
