Chapter Seventeen

Aiden

We opt to walk to the theater because it’s not that far away and I’ve come to enjoy viewing a new city through Saige’s eyes.

“Can I give you a disclaimer before we get to the movie theater?” I ask.

She smiles and gives a small wave to an elderly couple walking by. “Sure.”

“I wanted to go to an older movie, but it’s February, the month of love, so that means most movie theaters are playing romances. I found this one and they’re showing ‘bad boys and good girls’ films. I couldn’t pass it up. They’re both Reese Witherspoon movies, so we have—”

“Oh, I like this already. I get to eat all the salt I want without feeling bad and then I get rom-coms? Best da—” She stops short. “Night ever.”

“Just wait until you hear the movies. Cruel Intentions and Fear.”

She chuckles. “Would you classify Fear as a romance?”

Other than knowing Mark Wahlberg is in it, I’ve never seen it. “I guess we’ll discuss after.”

“Why did you pick old movies?” she asks.

“I wanted to go somewhere with you where we wouldn’t be interrupted. Even if I can’t talk to you, at least I’m not sharing you.”

She stops walking on the sidewalk and looks at the ground. “Aiden…” There are tears in her eyes when she looks up.

“Don’t make a big deal of it. Remember, I don’t have a lot of friends.” I grab her hand and tug her forward.

“That’s the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me.”

“It shouldn’t be. Jeremy should’ve put you on a pedestal. Dumbass didn’t, I guess.”

The movie theater is across the street, so I lead her over to get our tickets before I embarrass myself further. Inside, we opt for no more food since we just finished dinner.

I let Saige pick our seats and she heads right to the middle, her decision speaking volumes about this being a platonic experience. If I don’t shut my mouth soon, she’s going to stop hanging out with me and I don’t know if I could handle that right now. If the choice is for us to be friends or nothing, I’ll pick friends.

There aren’t a lot of other people in the theater and the ones who are here seem more into each other than what’s playing on the screen. The lights dim and I slide down in my seat, spreading my knees wide and crossing my arms so I don’t try to get handsy with Saige.

Fear comes on first and we sit through the movie, not saying much. She jumps a few times when Mark Wahlberg’s character gives us a scare. I get what she’s saying about this not being romantic.

“I’m gonna get a snack, want one?” I ask her.

“Anything chocolate,” she whispers.

“Okay, I’ll be back.”

Leaving the theater, I exhale a deep breath. Being so close to her and not being able to touch her in any way is torture. I need to control these feelings. A good beat-off job tonight should suffice. For a little while anyway.

I leave the concession stand with Twizzlers and Peanut M&M’s.
