"Is it over yet?" I ask Ben.

"not yet" he murmurs.

" stay calm, you're interrupting the best part." He whispers, his voice sounding amused that I know he's not telling the truth.

Earlier this morning, when I texted Ben I want to hang out with him, he told me about this Will Smith new movie premiering at the cinema and he suggested we go see it together instead. I liked the idea of a movie on a cool breezy night but what I didn't know was that it was going to be a horror movie. Ben said he doesn't either.

The movie was rescheduled without any public announcement.

Now I'm stuck in this situation with no going back.

I can not explain why I hate horror movies so much. It's just something that happens to me anytime I watch scary movies even if it's war or world war 2, I still dream of a machine or a zombie trying to kill me in the dream.

When he picked me up from my house, I try to think of something to say to him but everything I thought of sounded just lame.  So we sat in silence for a bit before he started with how cruel his soccer Captain has been to him and then he went on and on about other things until pulled his car into the park. He is a chatterbox when he wants to

When we walked into the movie theater, he dragged me to a corner at the back far from where people are Sitting.
I half-watched the first part of the movie, covering my eyes as much as possible anytime a monster appears to eat the flesh of life human.

Now I'm hiding my face in Ben's jacket. I hadn't realized it until I felt his arm wrap around me and he pulls me into his lap. He shields my eyes with his hand. Now my heart is pounding. To be honest,  I don't want to stand up from this position as I inhale his scent and feel the comfort of his lab.

I can't tell what is scarier, the movie, or the position I'm in.

As I'm about to lift my head, I hear a lady scream. That is when I know this will just be my position for the rest of this movie.

Great. I'm just some form of amusement for him right now although this is not the first time he's seeing me like this, the Ben I know will tease me sooner or later.

I'm beginning to think how oddly comfortable he is when it occurs to me that I have been in this position for a while now.

" is it almost over?" I ask Ben, again.

"not yet" he answers, sheepishly.

I pull away from him to take a quick peek at the screen. It was two humans left, one man on the ground bleeding, and one girl that was quietly taking off her jacket to tire the man's wounded leg.

I hate blood. Even though everyone kept telling me is not real but still, I'm scared. So I take back my position and make myself more comfortable this time.

" You good?" Ben asks me.

"Better than seeing those" I answer truthfully.

After some minutes of silence, he speaks again.

" You know I didn't tell her anything, right?"

Oh right,  I almost forgot the question will pop up at some point.

" then how did she know you were in my house?" I want to believe every word he says but I still find the need to ask this question.

" The truth is when I left your house that evening, I was angry at Jane for interrupting, and when I entered my car, Jesi called if I want to come over to his parent's house. I said yes and drove to her parent's house instead,"  he says and takes a deep breath " at the process of making out with her, I called your name. I guess That's how she figured everything out" Ben whispers

I know from the beginning that what Jesi said was the result of her imagination still this information gets me confused.

Jesi was angry at me because Ben called my name in the middle of whatever they were doing I don't want to think about and it ruined her moment so she wants to get back at me by humiliating me in front of her friends.

Now I'm just glad she got what she deserves.

" So you're still seeing Jesi after you two broke up?" I ask. This information still sounds surprising to my ears after what I saw and Jane confirming it to me. I can't believe he can do that to anyone, it's unfair to even Jesi. Now my anger is rising. Why will he do that to anyone? 

"I know this is not what you want to hear, Jeiel, and I might properly sound like an asshole which I am but, I broke up with Jesi because of you. And, I always go back to Jesi because of you. I always think you will never think of me more than your best friend..." he looks down at my face. " till that moment you kissed me in my room" Ben whispers

"what do you want from me, Ben Andrews "  I didn't want to say that, no. I mean I don't want it to come off that way but my mouth moved faster than my brain and I don't regret that I asked. I don't know where the question is taking me either but I don't care.

"Jeiel,  I don't mean to put you under any pressure. I just thought I needed to after holding it back for too long" Ben says. Apologizing.

" Take me to your house"  I surprised myself again.

"What?" Ben almost screamed but I used the palm of my hand to cover his mouth, just in time.

"Your house... Now." I know what I'm asking for is big and stupid, but like I said, just in this one night. I don't care.

"Jeiel are..." he try again but I covered his mouth yet again.

"Please..." and  I don't want to waste any more time.

"Okay," Ben says. With that, we're walking out of the hall.
