I met up with Johnny when I got done putting my make-up on and double checking my hair. And also through talking to Finn. Let's not forget that conversation..
He smiled a big grin when he saw me walknig down the stairs. I gave him a friendly smile back, "Wow, you look amazing Emma." He told me, trying to put that flirty bad boy tone in his voice. But it came out as what a nervous guy would sound like saying that.
"Thanks Johnny. So, where do you want to go first?" I asked him, trying to stifle the laugh that was trying to force it's way out of my throat. I decided to cough-cover it.
"Wanna go to the movies first? The Kahuna* is supposed to play a Surf Feature. Two surfing movies in one night." I just nodded in agreement. We climbed up into the giant purple whale bus and headed off to the movies.
It took almost 4 hours to finish both movies. I was completely and utterly tired. Johnny tried several times to put his arm around me, but I found a way to get out of that.
We were walking to one of the restaurants in town and Johnny was talknig about the movies.
"They were both good, right Emma?" He asked me, I nodded and said 'yeah'. We entered a seafood restaurant nearby and sat down at a table near the back.
"What was your favorite part of the movie Emma?" he asked me when we looked over the menu. Ew, octopus tentacles? Sea urchin? Ouch. I looked up at him, and he was staring at me, "Oh, sorry. My favorite part was when the surfer fought those CIA agents. How about you?" I answered him, giving a small smile then returning to the menu.
"That was my favorite too." He said a bit too smitten. Eventually, around then, a waiter came by and took our orders. I finally decided to get a plain tuna salad while he ordered seafood platter. We continued to talk for a bit more, ate when our food came, and left once we were both done.
After dinner, we headed back to the movies, and then back to the hotel. We walked back to the staff house together is silence until we reached the first step to the front porch.
"Emma, I had a great night." He told me, just a small whisper and getting a bit closer to me.
"I did too, Johnny." I said, stepping back a bit. But that was a little useless.
"I have to tell you something. Since the first day you came here, I've liked you. And I've done all that stuff because I don't want you to get fired by Bummer. Emma, I really, really love you." He admitted, a bit out of breath and his cheeks probably boiling at it's boiling point.
I was utterly speechless. I tried to think of the right words for a moment or two.
"Johnny, I.. I'm sorry. I don't have the same feelings for you."
