Reid

I park in the cinema lot a few minutes before the movie starts. I didn’t bother telling Callie what we’re seeing because this is the anti-date, which has actually been the most fun I’ve had while out with anyone in a long time.

“Two for Alien Innards 3.” It was the most ridiculous-sounding flick on Fandango and got a Rotten Tomatoes rating of 5%.

“With a name like that, it’s no wonder why it’s a trilogy,” she says, not even missing a beat. I like that about Callie. She’s game for anything, even a movie that is for sure going to be a waste of two movie tickets.

We buy popcorn and a pack of Sour Patch Kids at the concession stand and make our way into the theater.

“Oh my God.” She stops, and I almost run into her with the overflowing popcorn bag. “Do you see this, Reid?”

“See what?”

A grin spreads across her face. “We’re the only two people in the theater.” She cups her hands to her mouth. “Echo!”

I shake my head and smile. Damn, she’s cute. “We’d better find a seat before the theater fills up.”

We take our seats in the dead center of the theater and put our feet on the seatbacks in front of us.

“First rated R movie in a theater.”

“The Matrix. I snuck in with Gray. His older brother worked at a theater and got us in through the back entrance.”

“Mine was Troy. Because Brad Pitt.” She pops a piece of popcorn into her mouth and groans.

“Like the oiled-up pretty boys, huh?” I kid, but that is exactly the type I’d see Callie going for.

“It’d only be fitting that I talk about my crushes on an anti-date.” She quirks a brow at me.

“Then I have to confess I’ve always had a thing for Mila Kunis.”

The movie’s already started, but we just keep shooting the shit. Something that would normally annoy me since I don’t like wasting a movie ticket. But with Callie, it’s worth it.

“Did an alien really just come out of her…”

“Yep. That just happened.”

“Hey, Reid?”

“Yeah?”

“Remember how I said my parents were coming to town in a couple of weeks?”

“Yeah. On bingo night.”

“Will you…go with me? For moral support.”

“Should’ve been more strategic about that, Rainbow. You did just eat my last Sour Patch Kid.”

“And it was delicious.”

I pull her close and drop a gentle kiss on her lips. “I’ll go with you.”

We both fall silent for a couple of minutes, our fingers laced together while we watch the aliens get blown to bits with machine guns. Somehow, this works. Tonight would have pissed off any other woman I know, yet she’s here, smiling and laughing.

“Reid?”

I turn my head to gaze at her, illuminated by the light from the large movie screen. “Yeah?”

“Thanks for the best anti-date ever,” she says.

“Any time, Rainbow.” And I mean it.
