QUICKIE: Okay I lied, here is another short chapter for today. Maybe I'll write a long one tomorrow. Enjoy!
-Alice's POV-
She caught me looking at her, but I didn't look away, and neither did she. I don't know for how long we sat there staring into each others eyes, but it felt like an eternity. I just smiled at her, trying to convey what I was feeling into one look, and I think she understood, because she smiled back at me. At times like this, I wished I had a working heart. To feel the effect she has on me. But hearing her heart would do. The beautiful fluttering was music to my ears.
As the lights went down, our eyes left each others and landed on the screen. I hadn't been to a movie in ages, and this was nice. The previews were for some ridiculously stupid looking movies that we definitely not going for the Oscars. I mean, come on. Love Spelled Backwards Is Love...really? That doesn't even make any sense, and neither did the plot line. Crosshairs didn't look too bad, definitely the best looking of the bunch, and not as stupid of a name.
Face Punch wasn't much better of a title, but that was the first one she said when I asked her what movie she wanted to see. The trailer was filled with basic action movie things. Guy's shooting zombies, zombies eating guys, guys shooting guys, attractive girls running around helpless. In all that, the trailer made no next to no sense. But I guess action movies don't really have to make sense, just keep you entertained to the end.
It was a little over halfway through the movie when a zombie popped out of nowhere on the screen. Everyone in the theater jumped out of their seats, including Bella. I found her hand in the darkness, and she entwined her fingers with mine. Her fingers fit perfectly in the spaces between mine, and her warmth as she rubbed her thumb against mine felt like heaven. Talking on the screen is what brought me back to reality, and I tried my best to pay attention, but it was just background noise now.
Put your gun down.
Put your gun down, or I'll blown your freaking head off.
Both of you put both of you guns down, or I'm going to blow both of your freaking heads off.
Alright, forget it. Let's do this!
AHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Bella's sweet laughter filled my ears. As I glanced at her out of the corner of my eye, I saw her laugh again and shake her head at the screen. I was probably grinning like an idiot, but she was just too cute, I couldn't help it. I wanted to hear that laughter for the rest of my life.
