Texas 2018
*Angelica*
"So do you have more plans ?" I ask Zac, when we get into his car after dinner. Honestly I am not ready for the evening to end just yet.

"Well if you are up for it, they are showing 'groundhog day' in the local drive in". He say with a smile, as he turns on the engine.

I clap my hands all excited. "Uhh seriously ? I am never saying no to 'groundhog day'".

"That's what I thought". He chuckles.

Seriously I think we have seen the movie together like a hundred times. But since I lost him I have hardly watched it. "Let's go then".

It doesn't take long to drive there and Zac gets us tickets, before driving up to park right in the front. "So popcorn and cokes ?"

"Of course, it's not really movie night without it". I remember how much coke and how many popcorn and crisp we consumed back then.

"I'll go get it". He get out the car and disappears only to appear 5 min later with a bucket of popcorn and two huge sodas.

I take a long sip of my coke and sigh. "Oh this is so good. I think it has been half a year since I last had a coke, but damn I wish it wasn't so bad for me".

He chuckles and take a long sip of his own. "Oh I feel you, so much. But well the no sugar is definitely worth it. I feel much better now".

"I can't deny that no sugar looks mighty good on you". I tell him, wiggling my eyebrows. He really look almost absurdly healthy, strong and sexy.

The movie starts and we dig into the popcorn. Several times our fingers brush and it sends little electric shocks up through my arm, making the butterflies go absolutely bonkers.

"More popcorn ?" Zac ask about twenty minutes into the movie.

I shake my head. "No thanks, I am all done".

Zac puts them away and lean back on the seat, his arm resting on the backrest of the seat.

I glance at his bicep.. oh damn, he always had such nice strong biceps, but they definitely weren't this big back when we dated.

As I try to focus on the movie I feel how his hand slowly moves down, until it is resting on my shoulder and I can't help giggling.

Luckily his front seat is one long seat and I slide a bit closer, resting my head on his shoulder. "Aren't we a bit to old for the sneaking hand ?"

"Well trying to be a gentleman about it.. you know you are supposed to act like you haven't noticed". He say with a small chuckle.

"Sorry.. haven't noticed anything at all". I turn back to look at the movie, resting my hand on his leg, just above his knee.

I can feel how his leg is bouncing slightly under my hand, like he isn't capable of sitting completely still. I can also feel the muscles in his thigh flex with each movement.

Breathing slowly in I glance up at him. What am I doing ? I mean 24 hours ago I had no idea about were he was in the world.. now I sit here, confused by a million old feelings creeping in on me.

Has he always been this handsome ? He has definitely not always been this fit. It's a good look on him. His hair has gone a bit grey at the temples, that is a good look on him too.

"What are you thinking about ? You look so far away". He ask softly, pulling me out of my own thoughts.

"Just..". I bite my lip. "How we always used to do this, watch movies, snuggle up. And how this place, it remind me of that old drive in.. the one where..".

"The one where I first told you that I loved you". He nods. "It really does".

We just look at each other for a moment and I smile. "I can't believe that is nineteen years ago".

"And you only look more beautiful". His hand comes up to cup my chin and suddenly his lips is on mine, kissing me so softly.

I totally lose my breath, memories of a thousand kisses flooding me, as I melt into him. He has one hand around my neck and one on my lower back, my hands is on his chest. It is so exciting and at the same time it's like coming home.

*Zac*
Kissing her again after all this years make all kind of feelings wash over me. Memories, both remembered and lost. Love, warmth and recognition, but also pain and loss, leaving me breathless and grasping for reality.

One of my hands weave itself into her hair, like I need to hold onto her. Scared she is nothing but a mirage, conjured up by a man thirsting for love.

As she gently break the kiss, I rest my forehead against hers. Trying to find enough air to speak. "That was like.. like ..".

"Like coming home after traveling the world forever". She say softly and I nod.

"Yeah exactly.. I missed you Angel.. I know it is kind of a heavy thing to say.. but I did. I missed you and I missed us". I gently comb a hand through her hair.

She breathes in slowly, closing her eyes. "I have been searching.. trying to find it again. But I couldn't stop wondering.. were we would have been.. what could have been, had we been ready then".

"We still have time darling. We could.. try and see what we have.. what we can have". I whisper softly.

"That sounds.. perfect". Her hand gently touching my cheeks, it's such a loving gesture that it make me heart flutter uncontrollably.

We sit like this for a while, exchanging soft kisses, talking about past and future, about dreams and plans. And it just feels so utterly right that I almost forget that yesterday I thought I would never see her again.

When the movie ends I drive her home and walk her to the door, kissing her goodnight. She looks uncertain, and I know she is wondering whether she should invite me in.

"Are you working tomorrow ?" I ask her. I think we should slow down a bit, not let our bodies take us further than our head and hearts are ready to go.

She nods, looking kind of relieved. "Yeah, all morning and afternoon".

"I'll see you there then.. okay ?" When she nods again I kiss her softly. "Sleep well darling".

"Sleep well Zac and thanks for a wonderful evening".
