Once Ian comes back with pizzas, I've already found the movie and waited for him. As he unboxes the pizzas, I couldn't help but appreciate how scrumptious they smell. We both take slices and start the movie.

He sits on exactly the same place where he was sitting before which is too distracting for me to focus on the movie. This happens for the first time when I can't focus on Ryan's charm and my hands shamelessly want to touch his soft silky hair.

'You can't be so greedy. This is against your attributes.' Reminded by my subconscious.

I immediately shift my focus back to the movie, well TRY to shift my focus back. He is too distracting to be around. Eventually, I succeed to focus on Ryan Gosling.

"God!! Ryan is so hot." I finally speak with genuine admiration.

'Yo!! My girl is back on track.' I subconsciously praise my stupid effort of not paying attention to Ian.

"What?" he snaps.

"What?" I question him back.

"What did you say?" he sounds like inquiring.

"I said RYAN GOSLING IS SO HOT."

"He is an ugly ass. How can someone say he is hot?" he rolls his eyes.

What? Is he mad or what? Ryan is ugly? Or Ian is just jealous?

"You didn't just say that. Ryan is the cutest guy alive on the planet." I argue.

"No he isn't. Actually Emma is the cutest." he fights back.

Wait!! is that a tactic to make me jealous?

"Yes, Not only that but also she is lucky af to work with Ryan." I counter.

I can't let him win over me. This is also against my attributes. As expected, he doesn't extend the argument which makes me a winner. I mentally give the victory speech.

"Hey, do you want another slice?" I ask him to annoy.

"No, thank you." He pouts and it gives me a demonic pleasure.

Throughout the movie, I try my best to not think like a pervert. Specially those time I find him sneaking at me.

The last scene of the movie is my least favorite. I hate sad ending. So to avoid being upset I look at Ian to shift my focus and find his eyes are glistening. Of course, he is not crying but clearly he is affected by the scene.

"Are you crying?" I start annoying him again.

"Of course not." He clarifies himself.

"No, you are. I can't believe you are crying watching a movie that isn't even tragic technically." I am so amused.

"You are insane. I am not. Okay!" he says.

"This is like news. I am going to tell everyone that you cried by watching La La Land." I laugh.

I guess I finally succeed to annoy him.

"You aren't." he says annoyingly.

"I am." I wink.

It's so fun to annoy him.

"Oh really?" he says.

"Hmm Hmm."

"Really?" he starts tickling me and laughs.

Oh,God! I am so ticklish. I start giggling.

"Ian stop,I can't breathe."

"Nope."

"Please!! I won't tell anyone. Stop." Still giggling.

"No, why won't you? Go,tell them I was crying. Go." he laughs.

"Noooo!! Stop."

He doesn't stop as a result I lean against the side of the couch, and he is on top of me. Still laughing.

His sweet torture continues, and he laughs like a happy kid until we realize we are dangerously close to each other,our breaths meet, lips are inches apart. He leans a little more close which cause the distance between our lips less than an inch. As he opens his mouth slightly, I feel a soft minty with lime mixed smell coming from him. Affected by the proximity I close my eyes. He just about to touch my lips, my phone rings.

We both gain conscious by the sound. He abruptly gets off of me, let me sit from my leaning position. I answer the phone.

"Hello." my voice doesn't sound normal due to adrenaline.

"Hey drama queen, are you like digging a canal or what?" Justin replies from the other side of the phone.

"Why would I do that?" I am confused.

"No, The way you were breathing, thought you may be...anyway where are you?" he tells.

"I..."

"Wherever you are, doesn't matter, just come back soon. I've to talk to you about Vanessa." he cuts me off.

"Okay....I am coming....where are you?" I sigh.

"Just go back to your dorm,I am coming there....see you"

"Okay" before I say he cuts the call.

I need to go home. Not that I am very eager to hear Justin's about his girlfriend. But things here got awkward already. I don't know how will Ian react to our moment. All I know is I can't face him right now.

"I have to go now. It's already very late." I mumble.

"Okay." he says motionlessly.

I get up from the couch and take my phone.

I am not sure whether I should ask him to drop me home or not. Better I don't say to him anything.

"Let me drop you." he says after few minutes of silence.

I nod.

During the ride we don't talk to each other at all. The music player is playing I don't even know what music but in a very low volume. I look through the window to make the scene less awkward where his focus completely is on the road.

As we make it to the campus gate, I feel more balky thinking about yesterday. I don't know what I should say or do this time as last time he hugged me goodbye. So, I plan to make it formal.

"Ahh..Thanks for tonight. Good night." I say formally.

"Hmm." he doesn't say anything more.

'Okay, this is it. You need to leave now.' My subconscious guides me.

So I get down from the car and start
walking towards my room.

"Lydia" he calls me suddenly.

Surprising. Is he going to do the same as yesterday? My mind wants that badly.

"Yes"

"Best of luck for tomorrow. Good night." He says.

"Thanks." I smile.

He smiles back and drives his car back.

I stand there till the time his car is can be seen. As I no longer can see his car I go inside the campus.
