MOVIE NIGHT

"So, what movie will we watch?" I ask Richard as we wait for the popcorn to pop in the microwave.

He shruggs, "Samuel choose. Some horror movie, I guess."

I nodd, "I like horror movies."

"I thought you'd like chick - flicks." he says grinning, as he leans against the kitchen counter.

I raise an eyebrow towards him, "What else do you think of me?"

He shruggs, "Don't know. But you're not a typical girly girl. Not like the other's that I've dated."

"Is that good or bad?"

He shruggs again, "I don't know yet. But it is........refreshing."

The microwave stops, showing us that the popcorn is done. "Would you ever consider living monogamic? I mean..... Completely monogamic?" I slowly ask him as I get out the popcorn.

"No...Never." he says in an icy cold voice.

I nodd as I put the hot salty popcorn into a bowl.

"Do you like salty popcorn or sweet?"

"Salty. I don't like sweetness."

"Patricia likes sweet popcorn."

"So does Samuel."

"A bowl with sweet popcorn it is......" I say as I put another paper bag with sweet popcorn into the microwave. then I feel his strong arms around my waist, embracing my petite body.

"Have you ever been in love?" I ask him slowly, feeling his muscular body behind me. Gosh, he's giving me these feelings again. He's making me feel like I'm on the doorstep to heaven.

"Once." he says to me. "You."

"More than ones." I saw as i look out of the french windows, seeing Manhattan in beautiful purples and pinks. "What's her name?"

"Alyson."

"Was she one of your......?" I don't even know how to call them. His girlfriends.

"She was my high school sweetheart."

"What happened?"

"She betrayed me."

I nodd, "She broke your heart."

"What about you?"

"His name was Alex. It was a summer romance. A short, but intense relationship. We were so in love. It was insane."

"Why did you separated?"

"There was no way we could be together. He moved to Australia to go to college there. I went to Yale. It was an easy decision. Easy but hurtful."

"Did you guys stay in contact?"

"In the first few weeks, yes. But then college took all of our time."

"What would you do if you'd see him again?"

I shrugg, "I don't know. But what I do know is that he has a fiance in Australia. He's going to get married in a few weeks."

"Did he invite you?"

"Gosh No! That would be so weird." I say and I laugh a little, "We had a good relationship, but I've moved on."

"What about that rock star - boyfriend?"

I shrugg, "I didn't love him. I thought I did.....Do you still believe in love?"

Before he can say anything more, I hear Patricia and Samuel walking into his penthouse.

"Maine, where are you?" I hear Patricia's voice.

"We're in the kitchen!" Richard calls back as he releases me from his embrace.

I get the popcorn out of the microwave and put the sweet popcorn into another bowl.

"We brought Nachos and pretzels!" Patricia says grinning as she reach the kitchen. She mouths me a WOW before Samuel reach us behind her.

"We have sweet and salty popcorn." I explain, handling Samuel a bowl with sweet popcorn. "You guys are sweet and we are salty."

Samuel nodds and walks with Patricia over tot he couch.

I pick out the bowl with salty popcorn and look at Richard before I walk off.

His hand on my shoulder stops me from walking. He turns me around and gets the bowl out of my hand. Confused, I watch him as he places it back on the kitchen counter.

"Wha-" he stops me from talking by placing his soft lips on mine. He kiss me passionately and lifts me up, so I sit on the counter, without me even me realizing it. I return his kiss and wrap my legs around his waist, pulling him closer to me.

We continue kissing like two teenagers, who just escaped their parents house to be together.

"Hey, are you guys coming?!" I hear Adam's voice calling us.

As soon as Samuel's voice reach Richard's ears, he let go of my lips. But instead of stepping away, so I could hop off the counter, he places his forehead against mine.

"I still believe in Love, Maine." he whispers and locks eyes with me. "I still hope that one day, the one will walk into my life, turning my world upside down."

I smile at him before he kisses me softly.

"Maine! Richard!" I hear Patricia's voice.

Damn it! Patricia! I curse in my thoughts and sigh.

Richard chuckles as if he knows exactly what I am thinking, before he steps back and helps me get off the counter.

"Which movie will watch?" he asks as we reach Patricia and Adam, who already lay on the couch.

"A Nightmare on Elm Street." Samuel says smiling to us.

I nodd and get seated on the couch, "Sounds good."

Richard places the bowl with the popcorn on the table before he gets seated behind me.

Samuel pushes the start button and the movie begins. As the opening credits show, Richard pulls me closer to him and i rest my head on his muscular chest. I look over to Patricia who watches the movie carefully. Samuel hugs her with one arm, his eyes focused on the screen in front of him. I smile as i feel Richard's fingers playing with a strand of my hair.

"If you're bored, we could have not chosen to do a movie night." I whisper into his ear as the movie really begins.

"I'm not bored." he whispers back and kisses my cheek, "Something normal remember?"

"Nothings normal when I'm with you."

"Bye!" Richard and I say out as Patricia and Adam step into the elevator.

"Well that was......"

"Normal." he finishes my sentence as i turn around to face him.

I nodd, "They're cute couple."

"Well their personalities definitely match....."

"You think those two will end up getting married?" I ask him as we walk back into the living room.

He shruggs, "I don't know. Samuel had many girlfriends. Some I liked,some I hated."

"What about Patricia?"

"She's your best friend."

"That shouldn't influence your judgement."

He smiles, "She seems like a little........talkative."

I laugh, "Yeah, because you make her nervous."

"Me?"

"Sure. You're intimidating." I say and throw myself back to the couch.

"Really?"

He sit down next to me.

"You have that effect on me....I can't really describe it, but you seem to have the effect on every women so far, But as soon as I got to know a little bit more, I....."

"You what?"

I brush through my hair, "You don't make me feel insecure anymore - at least not so often."

He nodds, "Well you have an effect on me as well."

"Me?!" I ask him surprised.

"Well-" he stops as we hear the elevator doors opening again.

"Are you expecting anyone?"
