Chapter 3
It was hours later. I sat alone on the couch. Rocky was sleeping on the bed. I laughed at how spoiled he was, but it came out like a cough. I found out it was Brady's family that owned the B&B. He certainly didn't mind. I hadn't unpacked yet. When I started to I was overcome with emotion. I have been crying for hours. I missed them soo much. I was really close to them. I let out a sniffle, and got up. A movie night, that's what I needed. I was already dressed in pajamas. I wore a tiny light blue tank top with colorful dinos on it and flannel pink plaid bottoms. My hair was in a messy bun and I couldn't care less. I grabbed my wallet and locked the door. I decided against asking for directions and randomly started off in a direction. Fortunately I found a convenience store not to far away. I stumbled to the frozen section. They had mint. It was my brother's favorite. Everything reminded me of them. I wiped away a tear that accidentally spilled. I went for the strawberry. I saw the soda isle, and decided to splurge. I normally didn't drink it much, but I wasn't in a good mood. I continued to the counter. There was a young guy probably 2 or 3 years older. He smiled at me. Not the good smile. I tried to return one.
"Is there a mirror in your pocket, cuz I can totally see myself in your pants?" the guy asked. OMG he's so gross!
"Are you gay? I mean if you like wearing girl's clothes that's fine." I replied sarcastically trying to be funny. He didn't take the hint.
"If I could rearrange the alphabet I would put U and I together" he replied in a 'trying to be sexy but failing way. Ok this guy was really gross.
"Really I would put F and U together" I replied. "Will you please just ring up the items and leave me alone?" I begged
"Nice shoes….. Wanna,.. "before he even finished that sentenced I punched him. As I did this the bell dinged, and Embry walked in. The guy at the counter was pissed. He went to punch me but Embry got in between us caught it, and knocked him out. I stared at the sight. I looked at Embry, and smiled.
"Want some ice-cream" I asked. Then giggled and grabbed two more cartons and another bottle of soda. I left a 20 on the counter, grabbed Embry's hand and walked out. He stared at me and smiled the most mind numbing smile. I lost my train of thought. He did too. Snapping out of the gaze I remembered my plans.
"Would you like to have a movie night with me?" I asked self consciously. He nodded. I think I was in Love. We walked to the movie store to find something good.
"OK, I was thinking mushy, action then comedy" I told Embry. "Whad'ya think?"
He laughed "there is no way were watching a chick flick". I slapped him lightly.
"Come on what is a movie night without a tear jerker. I promise it wont be to painful." I saw him debating. "It's either that or a musical."
"Liz,. Pleassse,. Please please!" He begged, using his puppy dog pout to full extent.
"How about across the universe?" I asked. I gave him my best pout .He looked at me an instantly gave in.
"Fine but then were getting fast and the furious" he replied. I smiled, little does he know but I love that movie. He put his arm around me, and I sighed. I felt so close to him. Even with the huge height difference I felt so comfortable against him .We walked up the isles, I saw Freedom writers. It was really good. I cried. I looked at Embry, he was so beautiful. I had a strange urge to run my hands through his silky hair. It wasn't as long as I normally went for, but it worked on him. It couldn't be called shaggy, not when it was so straight and silky. It was only a couple inches, enough for me to play with. He caught me staring, I blushed. I glanced back, using my hair as blinds, he was staring too. I felt giddy.
"Have you seen Freedom writers?" I asked. He nodded. "I loved it, it was so sad but good."
"How about Casanova?" I asked again. "It was soo good, I cried when Heath Ledger died" I laughed. He growled. Was he jealous?
"How about I am Legend? I heard it was amazing" He asked. O no! I hate scary movies. One time I was so scared I begged my friends to let me leave and go watch something else, and my friend told me she would finish the soda and I can go refill it. It was a super large because we were all sharing, and it was almost full. It took forever; I ended up sitting real low with my feet on the chair in front hiding behind my knees. When she finally finished there was only 30 minutes left. It was no longer scary and I told her never mind. She was soo mad; she never let me forget it. She had to pee the entire rest of the movie, but it was really funny.
I looked up at him and smiled "That's fine". I knew I would hate it but at least he would be there.We paid and walked back to the inn.
"Hey, why were you crying earlier?"Embry asked. How did he know? I would play it off that was not a good subject.
"I wasn't crying" I protested but he saw through it.
"You don't have to talk about it, I'm sorry." he said. I felt bad lying but we were at the door so I could change the subject.
"Do you mind if I take the dog out before we start?" I questioned.
