Haha, totally forgot I had to write this chapter and post it before I could post the final chapter. I deserve to be slapped. I had fun writing this particular chapter. I based it partly off of a real-life experience. Except the guy who was Kevin in this scenario was a guy friend who turned out to be a douche and got
Movie night at the Lucas house and Macy will be there…wonder what movies they will be watching…will it be all lovey-dovey cuddly movies…will it be scary movies that make them cling to each other in fear…will it be an action flick that Joe demands they watch because he likes the adrenaline rush?
You think I'd tell you in the AN? Read to find out, garsh!
Dedication: My mom, because her harping on me to clean the house made me write this in a mad-frenzy.
I raced home after school got out, trying to find the perfect outfit to wear tonight while watching movies. I wanted something that was nice, but not dressy…but didn't look like I was trying to look good. I dismissed any and all sweats and dresses (sweats were just a no if one was trying to impress a guy and a dress would be trying too hard in this case, plus, Stella would kill me if I worse sweats in public and it wasn't for a game or the gym or something). The black skinny jeans I loved dearly were out because I had worn them the last time I hung out with Kevin outside of school (not that he'd notice, but I would feel better if I was wearing something somewhat different.)
I found some denim shorts that I really liked because they weren't hoochie shorts, but still covered anything that could be embarrassing if it were to be seen by a guy. I topped it with my white panda shirt from the WWF and a red hoodie. I really hoped that my outfit was going to be okay.
God. I like a guy and I go all girly, caring about my outfits and stuff. Kevin better appreciate it. That's all I had to say about it.
Kevin had called me while I was trying to get ready, asking me if I needed a ride. I quickly said yes and ran around my house for a few minutes, trying to find some shoes and my lucky socks. I pulled my hair half back and found some of my sparkly Burt's Bees in my bathroom drawer. I put on some eyeliner, realized I looked like a raccoon and scrubbed it off, opting for mascara instead.
Ugh. How did Stella stand it? Seriously.
Kevin knocked on the door a little while later, and I got to the door, falling against it as I tripped over the carpet runner in the foyer.
"You okay?" Kevin asked as I opened the door.
"Oh, I'm great," I said, tugging on a lock of hair that had fallen against my face, "Just, you know, klutzy moment there. Stupid rug always trips me."
"Well, you're okay now, right?"
"I'm peachy," I said, staring up at him.
Peachy? Who says crap like that? Besides my dad, I mean. Damn it, Kevin. You make me say stupid stuff.
"Good to hear," Kevin said smiling, "Ready to go?" he asked.
"Yeah, let me just grab my bag…" I said, running up to my room. "Out of curiousity, Kevin, what movies are we watching?"
"Um, Nick was thinking The Shawshank Redemption earlier, but I stopped paying attention after Joe demanded that we watch Dodgeball and Stella wanted Pride and Prejudice and they started arguing. But is there a movie you want to watch?"
"I kind of like Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Any John Hughes' movie, actually."
"I could deal with that," Kevin said, as he led me out of the house.
"So nothing scary then? Because I think I'd like to go get my teddy bear if we do."
"Nothing scary as far as I know, but if there is, you can just hold onto me if you need to."
I looked up at him. He stared straight ahead, blushing slightly.
"Thanks, Kevin. I'll be sure to remember that."
We got in the car and he drove to his house. When we got to the firehouse, we walked up the stairs and were greeted by the sounds of Joe and Stella yelling at each other about the other's movie choice and Nick was strumming loudly on his guitar.
"Hey, I'm here to be the tie breaker or something…" I said.
"We can watch maybe three movies," Nick said. "I think it should be some kind of chick-flick for the ladies," Stella and I rolled our eyes and Joe yelled, "Dude!" at him. Nick glared at Joe before continuing, "Right. I want to watch Shawshank again, but I know Kevin kind of wants 101 Dalmatians which I can deal with."
"You're going to give up Shawshank Redemption to watch a bunch of animated talking dogs outwit a crazy bitch?" Joe asked, stunned.
Nick shrugged, "They're cute puppies."
Everyone was staing at him.
"What?" Nick asked, "I have a heart."
"I like Ferris Bueller's Day Off," I spoke up.
"Ooh! Ooh! I second that, Mace!" Joe exclaimed.
"Right," Nick said, "So, Stella? What do you want?"
"Um…How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days?"
"Kate Hudson?" Joe asked slyly, "She's hot! Yes! I second that too!"
Stella glared at him before striding over to him and hitting him upside the head.
"So, 101 Dalmatians, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, and How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days. Any preference which goes first?" Nick asked.
"101 Dalmatians, please?" Kevin begged.
"Sure, Kevin," Nick agreed, going over to the DVD player and putting the disc in the tray. He sat in a chair while Stella and Joe were shoving each other; apparently, Stella's skirt was taking over Joe's half of the loveseat they were on. Kevin and I just looked at each other, smiled and rolled our eyes, sitting down on the couch. I glanced over at Stella, who was smirking at me. I blushed slightly and looked away, directing my attention back to the screen.
I paid attention most of the way through, but when it cut to the wedding scene, I was suddenly distracted by Kevin stretching next to me, then smoothly putting his arm around me.
It had been a while since I had seen this movie, and my mind went totally blank-not paying attention to the screen-as his arm locked around my shoulders, pulling me closer to him in all his freshly-showered glory. I sat there in his half-embrace as the movie played on, but I wasn't really aware of what was going on.
I was in shock when the movie ended. How'd all that time go by so fast?
Kevin got up to get some popcorn and when he returned, he was carrying a full tray loaded down with a bowl of popcorn, a few cans of root beer and a box of Buncha Crunch. He handed me one of the root beers and the box of candy and sat the bowl of popcorn in his lap as he settled back on the couch.
"Hope you don't mind sharing," he said to me with a grin.
Oh, no, Kevin. I totally don't mind reaching into your lap to get the delicious, salty, buttery bits of goodness. This won't be awkward at all.
"No, sharing is caring," I said softly.
"Good."
We started Ferris Bueller and he put his arm around me again and again, I could not pay attention. But about halfway through, I just decided to go with it. I leaned more into him, putting my arms around him. He looked down at me, flabbergasted; I just smiled and shrugged. He smiled back and gave my shoulders a light squeeze.
After Ferris Bueller ended, Stella was super happy to have us watch How To Lose A Guy In Ten Days. While watching Matthew Maconahay and Kate Hudson drive each other nuts, Kevin whispered to me,
"They act like Stella and Joe."
I giggled and nodded in agreement. Once the movie ended, I yawned loudly.
"Need a ride back home?" Kevin asked.
"Yes, please," I said, grabbing my bag and slipping back into my shoes.
We got in the car and he drove me back to my house. He walked me to the front door and gave me a hug before I unlocked the door. Then he left.
Yes, I just did that. I also saw that I got eight reviews on my super-short songfic, so soon as I get…five reviews on this, I shall post the last chapter of it.
OMG, HAPPY NEW YEAR AND I CAN'T WAIT FOR YOU TO READ THE LAST CHAPTER!!!
