When We Fall: Scary Movie
Rose was waiting nervously outside the movie theater dreading the film they were going to see. She had listened to her friend Jack's advice about making David happy and told him she wanted to see Fright Night, a movie he was interested in.
Just one problem, she hated horror movies especially eighties horror films. Rose was now having second thoughts and was unsure how to tell him when suddenly David's voice broke into her thoughts. "Hey!" He grinned kissing her cheek. She forced a smile. "Hi," Rose glanced down and noticed he was still wearing the bracelet she made him. "You've still got the bracelet I made."
He smiled. "Of course I do, I wear it all the time!" Her heart melted at his comment.
As they waited in line at the ticket counter she was losing her nerve and she glanced at him wondering if it was too late to see something else.
"Looking forward to seeing this movie?" Rose asked. He nodded. "Yeah, can't wait!" David grinned. She sighed. David did look excited there was no way she could tell him she didn't want to see this thing, now.
He noticed her bothered expression. "You alright?' David asked concerned. She gave a weak smile. "Yeah, why?"
David sighed. "Well, I was kind of surprised when you told me you wanted to see this. I hear it's pretty scary." Rose scoffed. "Oh, it's just a movie." He shrugged. "Okay, if you're sure."
She assured him she was fine and they went into the theater. Rose sat there and glanced over at David who smiled at her just before the lights went dim and the scary intro music started. She sighed and braced herself while silently praying to get through this.
During the movie David watched semi-impressed but kept noticing Rose shifting in her seat anxiously and looking away. "You okay?" He whispered. She just nodded. He wasn't totally convinced but continued watching anyway. Finally Rose couldn't take it; the gore, the blood it was too much.
She grabbed her jacket and dashed out the theater despite David calling out to her. Once outside Rose knelt on the sidewalk embarrassed and mentally kicking herself for running off like that.
Then she felt David's arm wrap around her shoulders. "Hey, you okay?" "I'm sorry." She choked standing up. He shrugged standing beside her. "For what?" "For leaving like that and making you miss the movie." She replied sniffing. He scoffed. "Ah, wasn't that great besides it's no fun if you're not there."
Rose just smiled slightly. "Anyway I care more about you then some daft old horror film," David said gently rubbing her knuckles. "You hate scary movies, huh?" He said smiling softly at her.
She looked up at those warm brown eyes and nodded. "Yeah, I-I only said I wanted to see Fright Night because you wanted to," Rose wiped her eyes. "My cousin had a boyfriend that used to act out horror films and try to scare me when I was little so ever since I've tried to avoid them."
"Oh, Rosie, why didn't you just tell me?" He asked. She shrugged. "Well, I make you sit through all the movies I want to see. I just wanted to see what you wanted for a change."
David smirked. "I appreciate it but you didn't have to." Rose glanced at him. "I thought it'd might make you happy." He tucked a loose strand of her blond hair behind her ear making her shiver. "You make me happy." She smiled. "Oh, yeah?" He kissed her nose. "Yeah."
Rose smiled tugging her earring shyly. "I swear you always give me another reason why I fell for you." David gave a dramatic sniff. "Well, I do have that effect." She giggled. "No ego, huh?" Rose teased. He just smiled gently touching her chin. "That's much better I'd rather see you smile than cry." Rose blushed resting her forehead against his. "Feeling better?" He asked.
She nodded. "Yeah but I guess the date's over." He shrugged. "Well, maybe not." Rose looked at him curious. "What do you mean?" He gave a coy smile kissing her hand. "Tell me your favorite movie, any movie."
"Why?" She asked. He scoffed. "Come on just tell me." Rose sighed and whispered in his ear. David smirked slightly. "Ooh, Titanic a romantic tearjerker," He grinned touching her cheek. "Excellent choice." He then reached into his pocket and pulled out some money. "Take this and go back inside and purchase whatever snacks you want."
Rose gave him a look. "What are you planning?" He smiled. "Meet me at the lakeside in ten minutes, okay?" She nodded but before she could ask questions he gave her a quick kiss before dashing off.
A few minutes later Rose arrived with a small paper sack of candy at the lake her eyes widen. Somehow David transformed the area; the oak trees had clear stringed lights' hanging from the branches, a huge picnic blanket was spread across the grass and a projection screen was up along with some small film equipment and a single long stem rose lay on the blanket along with a small cooler of bottle waters and sodas.
"Hi!" She heard David behind her. Rose turned and saw David standing there smiling. "What'd do you think?" She shook her head in disbelief. "It's amazing," She looked around in awe. "How were you able to do this?" Rose asked.
He shrugged. "I've got a cousin who's a big movie buff." "You did all this for me?" She asked. He came closer and took her hand. "Well, you sat through my scary movie so I wanted to do something for you." Rose smiled. She couldn't believe anyone like him could ever exist.
"Come on." He said leading her to the blanket.
David started the movie and they sat on the blanket. Rose felt his arms wrap around her and he kissed her temple. During the movie she glanced at him. "This is nice."
He smiled. "I'm glad you like it." "Do you regret missing that movie?" Rose asked. He shook his head. "Nah, I just regret making you sit through it," David pulled her closer. "And to be honest it was scary."
She sighed. "Yeah," Rose looked at him. "Let's not do that again, yeah?" He nodded. "Deal." "Unless you can plan this again." She smirked.
David smiled and kissed her tenderly a few times before returning to the movie and soon the images of the horror film faded from Rose's memory.
A/N: Hello again! Sorry I'll try to make this the last time I bug ya' just wanted to say the memories won't always be in order. I'm going to try to tie them in with the present day David/Rose chapters (as best I can.) Thanks for reading! :)
