Twenty-Four

I did treat myself to a brunch, all for me. My parents were off on a weekend getaway. Katie was off having rainy Valentine’s kisses, and I was pouring strawberry syrup over a pile of pancakes and enjoying every single bite. I had two caramel lattes and cherished every sip.

I was walking from the café toward the movie theater under the thick gray sky when I spotted him. A tall curly-haired man standing outside the theater looking up at the movie posters while leaning on one crutch—though I was pretty sure he was still supposed to be using two.

As I glanced down at his casted-up leg, I remembered writing on his cast in seventh grade when he broke his arm. Gabe drools, and Emma Rules was my clever little remark.

“Gabriel Hernandez,” I shouted, my mouth still sweet from breakfast. He was wearing a thick navy sweater with a beat up jacket overtop and dark blue jeans.

“Emma Brown.” His lips curled into that mischievous smile, and my whole body felt warm.

“You have a hot Valentine’s date?” I asked, arriving by his side. I felt the urge to touch him, to grab his sleeve or press my shoulder into his.

“Nah, just me.” He shook his head. “Which movie are you seeing?”

“That rom-com, Two for the Show,” I said. “Of course.”

“Fancy that, me too,” he said.

“Hey, want to sit together? I’ll share my popcorn.”

“Perfect, I’ll share my candy,” he said while we turned to walk into the theater. As the door closed behind us, he said, “Does that make me your hot Valentine’s Date?”

Then he dropped his voice lower as the cold air of the theater hit me. “Or you mine?” He winked.
