A shrill shriek broke echoed through the apartment
"Arizona! You picked this movie! My neighbors are going to think that I'm killing someone in here!"
I can't say that I'm complaining all that much. As the movie progressed, Arizona has managed to cuddle up next to me with her face in the crook of my arm.
"But it's so scary!"
"It'd be scarier if you actually watch the movie" I teased. "It's not that bad, just open your eyes and watch"
As she did so, a demon jumped out of nowhere in the movie. She shrieked again and buried her face in my neck.
Flashback 10 months ago
I heard a scream behind me, and I turned around in time for a flash of blonde to land in my arms. It took me a second to register that I was still standing, and I had someone in my arms.
"I'm sorry" said a familiar voice "I was rolling down the hall, and didn't see that there was a spill, and I lost control"
"Um, no worries Arizona" I promptly released my hold of her and she continued on her way.
I have no idea what to think of her. She's beautiful. The last week she's been flirting with me, and then she ignores me.
I happen to look in her direction and notice that she looked back at me. We made eye contact and she promptly turned around and continued on her way.
Present Day
Her face is still buried in my neck. I rub her back and calm her down. Our eyes meet, and I'm drowning in those deep blues. They're actually darker than I remember.
We stay like that for what felt like a lifetime. I felt like I was leaning in, cause her face is getting closer.
She pulls away suddenly and asked if I wanted more wine.
Definitely. Definitely need more wine.
