I am completely amazed by book 2! Can't wait for next week! Just as im sure you have been waiting for this chapter. So here it is.
Chapter 9
Korra was fiddling with the radio the entire drive. They had picked Asami and she hadn't shut up the whole ride. Mako kept glancing at Korra and he couldn't stop smiling. Asami didn't miss those glances. This will work, she kept thinking. Bolin had his arm around her shoulders. He talked just as much as she did so their relationship worked. Korra had just as many butterflies as Mako. The buzz of a teenage Friday night filled the car. When they got to the theatre and paid to see some horror movie that Bolin and Asami wanted to see, Korra sat next to Mako.
"You okay?" Mako whispered though there was no one else in the theatre yet.
"Yeah. I always hated horror movies. There never scary." Korra whispered back.
"I know, thats why we never watched them." Mako said smiling at her in the it was love. Because they seemed to be in a private bubble when they were together. Like, no one could touch them or phase them. It was just them. They stared at eachother for a second. Mako had an impulse to kiss her. He really really wanted to. And she wanted him to. Mako went to lean but suddenly Bolin came trudging by with two giant buckets of popcorn and two sodas with two straws in each. Korra laughed.
"Jesus Asami you couldn't help him?" Korra said giggling as Mako grabbed one of each out of Bolins hands. Asami sat next to Korra and bolin sat next to her. They wasted no time, and started making out. Korra looked at Mako and made a disgusted face that was adorable. Mako laughed. The previews started and the making out was getting worse. They were leaning on Korra. Mako tried so hard to stop laughing but Korras face made it so much funnier. Finally she stood but they knocked into her and Korra fell onto Mako.
Their faces were inches apart. Both blushing, and not breathing, neither moved. Do not kiss her, said his head. Kiss her! Kiss her! Said his heart. Korra smiled because for some reason Mako looked torn between a decision. Her smile made him smile.
"Um….hey." Mako breathed. Korra giggled, their faces slowly getting closer without realizing it. When their foreheads touched, Mako felt Korra stop breathing. That was when their lips touched. Time stopped, so it seemed, and the world just melted away. They were in that private bubble again. Korra's hands were on Mako's neck and knotted into his hair. He grabbed her waist and pulled her closer. The kiss was tender, meaningful. It was like the stars and the moon seeing each other after nights of darkness. There was nothing that could ruin the moment. Neither of them heard Asami and Bolin's squeals of joy.
When the kiss broke neither one opened their eyes, afraid the moment would pass. Bolin's arms suddenly wrapped around Mako and squeezed him tight.
"I KNEW ITTTT!" He hollered. People shushed him. Mako had completely forgotten they were in a movie theater. Korra was smiling at Mako. He smiled back, pushing Bolin off him. They all resumed their seats, to watch the movie. This time Asami and Bolin just held hands. So did Korra and Mako. They kept glancing at each other. Mako really couldn't wipe the grin off his face. Her fingers were laced in his for the first time in a long time. They were both happy.
Asami and Bolin kept screaming like half the other people in the theater. Mako and Korra were unfazed though. Their heads were both swimming. The movie was, as they both expected, predictable. Though Korra did cringe during the gore scenes. Mako flinched knowing that was his fault. Korra had always hated blood, but he had made it worse that night with the gun. He tried not to think about it.
The movie was over and Bolin and Asami instantly started kissing. Korra gave Mako that cute disgusted look again and Mako just smiled and took her hand and walked her to the car. They leaned against it, waiting for them to realize they were alone in a theater. It had rained while they were inside making the air smell fresh. The street and parking lot lights were on. People were coming and going from the theater. There was a chill in the air but it was just from the rain. The humidity of summer was coming back to Republic City.
For some reason the silence between them wasn't uncomfortable. They had always been quiet. But Mako had to say something.
"Um Korra…..I….I'm so sorry for what I put you through. I was an ass. But you need to know something." Mako paused grabbing Korra around the waist. She had tears in her eyes that he wasn't supposed to see.
"Korra….I never ever stopped loving you. I will never hurt you again. Ever." He touched his lips to hers and he tasted the tears. She kissed him back, then broke away.
"I never stopped either."
Hope you guys liked it. I need reviews!
