CHAPTER 3: Liz; Maka's very best advisor! Things start to heat up?

DEATH THE KID:

I am sitting at the table in the dining room, waiting for Liz and Maka to come to dinner. I look at the clock hanging just above the middle of the doorway. It is 8:05. Not only are they late, but its not a symmetrical time! I am getting impatient. "Liz!" I yell,
hoping she will answer me. "Hang on Kid! We are almost ready!" I am very nervous. What if I act like an idiot in front of Maka?
These thoughts are not helping me with waiting for them. "LIZ!" I yell even louder this time. "HANG ON! WE'RE COMING!" I sit up straight and watch the doorway. I see Liz come in. "Hey Kid, sorry we're late. I was getting Maka ready." Getting Maka ready? She went out for dinner? Thats very thoughtful of her. But where is Maka? Liz looks back. "Maka, come on, dont be shy!" She reaches behind the door and grabs Maka's hand. Then from behind the door steps Maka. She wears an elegant lacy white dress with spaghetti straps and a big bow in the back, a silver heart necklace, and white flip flops. Her hair has two strands pulled from the sides to the back and in a small black bow. She has black round bead bracelets around her arms. 2 little and 2 big on makes 8! Perfectly symmetrical! She looks beautiful! Absolutely perfect in every way! I know I'm blushing now. I cant even speak. Liz smiles at me, "Sooo Kid what do you think? Doesnt she look good?" I look back at Maka, who is now blushing like crazy, and hesitate, "You look beautiful, Maka." I look her up and down again. "Absolutely beautiful." Maka looks away and says, "Thank you Kid. You look handsome tonight... But then again, you always do..." I then realize Maka might actually have a crush on me. Its hard to read a girl so I have to take my time with this. Liz says, "well we should get started!"
And walks toward the table. She sits across from me. When Maka goes to sit next to Liz, Liz jumps up and says, "No Maka, why dont you sit here next to Kid? Huh?" Maka while being dragged over to me, says quietly, "But Liz he might not- Liz I cant just- What if he-" Then Liz pushes her down in the chair. "Ok..." Maka says quietly. She turns towards me and smiles, "Hey Kid." I smile back. "Hello, Maka." Maka nods and turns to eat her food. Everybody is silent. The only sounds that are heard, are the clanking of silverware on glass plates, and the chomping of food. Suddenly I feel something strong hitting my leg. "OW!" I whisper/yell. I look up at Liz, who is sitting across from me. Liz gives me a grumpy face and motions her head toward Maka. She points at me and then she mouths the words 'you talk to her'. I nod. Liz is right, I have been rude not to entertain Maka on her first night here. "So Maka," I start. Maka looks up at me, "Yes, Kid?" I look at her, "How are you finding everything here? Is it comfortable enough to your liking?" Maka smiles and nods. "Absolutely! I love your house. Its beautiful! And I have to admit," She winks at me, "The symmetry makes it look incredible." I love her so much! She is adorable! She said she liked my symmetrical house! Nobody has ever commented on how perfect my house is. She is amazing. "Why, thank you Maka! I appreciate that!" Maka giggles, "Your welcome." Then, she goes back to eating. I want to spend time with her, but how?
I've got it! "Maka, would you like to watch a movie with me later? It can be just you and me."

MAKA:

I cant believe it! Kid wants to watch a movie with me! At night! when everbody else is sleeping! That could mean he likes me! Its totally a romantic setting! But what if he just wants it to be a friendly movie... I should try to keep my cool for now. I smile at him, "Sure! That sounds like fun."
(AFTER DINNER)
Everybody goes back up to their rooms. As soon as I get up to mine I freak out! first of all, is he counting this as a date or not? Second, What kind of movie are we watching? Romantic, gory, drama? And third, What am I supposed to wear? It will be late by the time we finish, so shouldnt I just wear my PJ's? But if show up down there and Im in my PJ's and he isnt, I might die of embarrassment! But then again, he could be wearing his too! I walk back and forth mostly worried about the PJ problem,
when after 15 minutes, I dont even know what time he meant by later! Im going to die! Which would shock me because technically a grim reaper is causing my stress! I have to talk to Liz! I run to Liz's room and right when I get in, I shut the door and ask all the questions that were in my head earlier, at once. Then when Im done, she gives me her answers at once. "Ok first, If it was a date, he would say, will you go out with me, so sorry to burst your bubble sweetie, but its just a cutsy thing tonight. Second, knowing Kid, he will probably ask which movie you want to watch. Third, wear your pajamas girl! Its a great excuse to make yourself irresistable while being able to pretend to be oblivious! Plus you might actually make him... well you know." She winks at me.
"And if the time thing is that big of a deal, I will go ask him." I stop her from walking out, "No, I'll ask before I change. That way it wont seem like I asked you." Liz grins at me, "Good idea." She shoves my shoulder a bit, "Look at you, getting good at this."
She winks, "Soon you wont need me anymore?" I shake my head, "Not soon." Liz laughs, "Well you had better go ask Kid now." I nod and leave. As soon as I'm at Kid's door, I hesitate with knocking. 'Go on' ,I tell myself, 'You need to be brave.' I knock 4 times. Kid answers with a frown that quickly turns into a smile. "Oh hi, Maka! How may I help you?" I smile, "I was wondering what time you wanted to watch the movie together?".
"How about 10?"
I nod. "Sounds great!" I start to walk away, "See you then!" Kid laughs, "See you then, Maka." We wave goodbye to each other.
And then he shuts his door. I sigh. I was so nervous! But now I have to talk to Liz! When I get to Liz's room, I tell her everything that happened. She claps and smiles. I frown and Liz asks, "Whats wrong? Arent you excited?" I rub my arm, "Yeah... But I dont have any cute pajamas to wear..." Liz grabs me and drags me to her closet. She shows me a dresser inside of her closet filled with clothes shes never even worn before. They still have the price tags and everything! Inside, I find a cute hot pink tank top with matching hot pink and orange plaid short shorts. I decide that this is what I'm going to wear with Kid.

Later at 10:00

MAKA:

I struggle, "Liz he is going to think I bailed! I have to go! Now!" Liz holds me down, "But your hair has to be symmetrical! We wouldnt want Kid having a freak attack tonight! It will ruin the magic!" Continuing to struggle, I reply, "What if he doesnt even like me?"
"HE HAS TO! YOU GUYS ARE MEANT TO BE!"
"WELL IF WE ARE MEANT TO BE, NO MAGIC IS GOING TO HAPPEN IF I REMAIN IN THIS ROOM!"
"IM AWARE OF THAT! HOLD ON ALMOST DONE!" "Oh my gosh! I didnt even pick out a movie!"
"I'll pick one for you if you want."
"Sure. Thanks so much Liz! Im so lucky I have you! Now could you please GET OFF OF ME!"
"OK! Im done! Now for that movie!"

DEATH THE KID:

Im sitting on the black couch in the living room. Im so nervous! I hope Maka likes me! I really hope she likes me! I look at the clock.
Maka is late. Did she forget what time we discussed? I hear footsteps coming down the stairs, so I sit up straight. I see a dainty foot step lightly down. Another after that. Cute legs follow after that, then pink pajama shorts, and a pink tank top. I dont know if Im going to be able to handle this... Then shortly after, Maka's beautiful face appears following her body. She looks so HOT! I know its not gentlemenly to think things like that, but hey, a guy who loves a girl is supposed to think that, isnt he? I feel a pain in my pants. I try to hide it. Maka has her hands behind her back. I wonder what she is holding? "Hi Maka!" I wave, "Are you ready to watch the movie?" Maka slowly walks down the steps, looking nervous, Maybe thats a sign she likes me too! She is blushing like crazy again! I probably am too... The pain gets stronger. "Y-yeah, I think so..." So damn cute... "what would you like to watch, Maka?" I say with my gentle voice. Maka hands me a DVD blushing and immediately looks away. I look at it. "Titanic?" Isnt this a couples movie? She must have a crush on me! Maka blushes even more, "Im sorry, was that a bad choice? You can choose. Im sorry..." "No no, its alright. If your ok with this." I put the DVD in, while Maka sits on the couch. Once its ready I sit down and press play with the remote. After a few minutes, Maka shivers. She looks up at me with pleading eyes and I look back. "Kid, Im cold..."
"Do you want me to go get you a blanket?" ,I ask confused. (Kid is so clueless i swear to God...)
"No I don't want you to miss the movie for me..."
"Then I'll pause it." I say reaching for the remote.
"But if you leave I'll be freezing... After all, your body heat is radiating a bit over here."
Suddenly, I come up with a solution! Hahaha. "Hey Maka, if you want, you can lean on me, or cuddle with me, or whatever you want to call it..." I try to stay calm.
"Are you sure..." She asks, blushing again.
"Yeah, Its fine." I smile.
"Ok..." She says leaning in. She is so soft! I cant believe it! Maka and I are cuddling! This is amazing! Now if only this were a bit more extreme... Ive got it! I wait a few minutes and then I "yawn" and stretch so my left arm falls over her shoulder. Its driving me crazy to only have one arm up, but I will look like an idiot if I put both up! Maka glances up at me and smiles and goes back to watching the movie. She must like me! If she didnt like me, she would have thrown my arm off of her, but she didn't! So she must like me! After an hour, Maka's head starts falling and then rising up again over and over for about 5 times. Then she falls over in my lap, asleep. I could die of happiness right now! The woman I love is sleeping in my lap! Everything is absolutely perfect! I pet her hair and softly rub her arm. She is beautiful. I love her so much... and maybe someday, I will be able to tell her that...
