Chapter Five

Abby agreed to movie night. We’d learned that Back to the Future was the show they’d be playing. We’d both seen it before on cable, but it was the kind of classic you could watch again and again. Plus it was from the eighties, and that was right up my alley.

I convinced Abby to change into a pretty outfit. She didn’t know what to choose, so I thumbed through her closet and found a white sundress trimmed in blue ribbon that matched her eyes.

She didn’t change in front of me. She went into the bathroom.

Face, Bud, and Dingo were gone. They’d returned to 105 for the evening. I was glad to be rid of Face. I didn’t need him ruining the ambience. I wanted this to seem like a date, or as close to one as Abby and I could get.

She came out of the bathroom, glowing like a teen angel. She’d even fluffed her hair and put on a smattering of lipstick.

“You look gorgeous,” I said.

“Thank you.” She gnawed on her bottom lip. The sparkly pink color she’d applied wasn’t going to last long.

“I need to get spruced up now.” I was going to take a shower and throw on a nice shirt with my jeans and boots. No way was I going to risk smelling bad. “Wait for me.”

“Okay.” She sat on the edge of the bed and folded her hands on her lap. All she needed was a pair of white gloves to look as innocent as she was.

I knew that Abby had never been kissed. I longed to be the guy who put his mouth against hers, who tasted her crazy goodness.

I took my turn in the bathroom. I even slapped on some cologne after my shower. I got dressed and returned to my girl.

She was still sitting in the same spot where I’d left her. She glanced up. By now her lipstick was all gone. I wish I’d been able to kiss it away.

“How are we going to sit next to each other at the movie?” she asked. “No one is going to leave an empty spot for you.”

Damn. I hadn’t thought of that. I considered a remedy, a daring alternative. “We could use the same chair.”

“How are we going to do that?”

“You could sit on my lap.”

Her breath caught.

I backpedalled. “Unless you don’t want to.”

“No, I do. I’m just…”

“What?”

“A little nervous.”

Of being that close to each other, I thought. “I know. Me, too. But I’d still like to try it.”

“So would I.”

I reached for her hand. If we were going to treat this like a date, then some good old-fashioned handholding was in order. Our interlocked fingers felt incredibly nice.

Secure. Warm and gentle.

Hand in hand, we went to the rec room, where they’d lined up a bunch of folding chairs in front of a giant flat screen TV. Already the place was filling up.

“Let’s sit in the back,” I whispered in her ear.

She nodded, and we proceeded to the very last row and took an end seat.
