The movie reminds Us

I saw that Cedrick and Elise had arrived in their car so we sped up our pace. I think Luther and I got too caught up in talking so we went for a walk,

we sometimes stop. From where we were, I could still see Cedrick with his girlfriend. They were also looking in our direction while watching Luther and me with a smile.

"Just don't tell Cedrick that I told you that, ah? He'll might get mad at me," Luther said laughing.

I looked at him. "Why? Are you afraid of Cedrick?" I let him see the teasing in my voice.

He widened his eyes at me. "Me? Scared? Of course not! Maybe that's why I'm sulking, I'm not going to be dry again? It's hard to persuade him!" he tortured me like a woman.

"It's good if you're the same as me. It seems that just seeing you, he softens up to you right away. Well, to me? It's enough to fire me from my job," he said while shaking his head. I just laughed because I couldn't answer anything else.

"You two are so cute" Elise smiled as she opened the shotgun seat door.

"Yes, that's why I'll give up on flirting with Sherin. She's beautiful, isn't she?" I felt Luther's arm wrap around my waist. "Isn't it bro? Your cousin is pretty, isn't she? It's up to me, I'll tell the truth" Luther said meaningfully to his friend.

I saw Cedrick stroking him and he responded with a very loud laugh. Cedrick got into the driver's seat so Elise followed, who now sat in the shotgun seat. Luther is still laughing next to me, it looks like he is satisfied because he was able to make Cedrick win. Is that a pike? Why is he so weak?

I felt Luther remove his arms but his mouth came close to my ear to whisper.

"Look at the bossing of the two of us, it's never funny" he laughed as he spoke. I just ignored him and was about to open the backseat door when he suddenly stopped me.

He blocked my path and removed my hand from the car door. I frowned as I looked at him. "Why? What are you doing?" I asked confused.

He glanced at his hand. "Opening for you" he said and opened the door.

"Since I'm dating you, I'll take care of you first." He turned his eyes inside after looking at me. "Come in, babe." he said sweetly.

I couldn't believe what he was doing, I just went straight in. Is he really like this? Feeling close even though we're not close?

I move my head while listening to the music. We are still inside the car, leading our way to our first stop. My friends said that we will go to the mall first and eat at fast food. I just said yes because I had no choice.

I'm just here to go along with their plans.

From the rear view mirror I can still see Elise and Cedrick's hands holding each other. His left hand was holding the steering wheel while the other was Elise's. I raised an eyebrow while simply snorting. They are so sweet.

"So you're a future attorney?" I turned to the person next to me when he asked.

I gave him a sweet smile. "Yes," I answered happily. I do not know. When my dream is actually discussed, I can't help but smile. I can't help but be happy. Maybe because that's my dream. So when I think about it, I become happy. Of course, I love you.

"Why attorney?" I frowned at Luther's question. His face immediately panicked. "I mean, why attorney? Why not modeling or music and arts. Because that's what you do as an artist. Too bad you're beautiful. You're just going to display it in court?" he said.

I laughed. Maybe he said it's good to be an actor because I'm good at acting? Am I on board with their plans!

"For the thrill" I answered without meaning.

"Ekk!" Luther said.

"What does it matter to you Luther? He wants that, eh. That's his dream. It's hard to be a lawyer. Since you don't have a dream, eh." I laughed especially when Elise teased him.

"No" Luther defended himself immediately.

"Really? Are you sure?"

"Yes," he answered again.

My eyebrows rose. "What?" I asked with interest.

"You" he answered me with a smile as if he was thrilled. Cedrick suddenly stopped after hearing her answer.

"You're really sweet Luth, aren't you? Looks like you've really hit it off with Sherin!" Elise giggled.

A little while later, after a few minutes on the road. We also reached the mall. We are currently walking its underground to park. I was looking out, between the glass windows as we passed through the dark surroundings.

After parking the car, we got down one by one. Elise and Cedrick walked in first so Luther and I were behind. I feel the man pulling me aside and clinging to me.

"Let's hold hands too, Sherin!" he whispered to me.

I avoided my hand just as he was about to touch it. "I don't want" I answered.

"Come on. Just for now, eh. Give it to me. They're cute, oh. They're sweet. We should too. Let's beat them" he insisted.

Iwinced. "I don't want to."

He stuck to me even more. "Please?" He flashed puppy eyes. "Just for now, eh. Don't stop me. Don't reject me. Please!"

I elbowed him. "Alright!" I blinked because I knew there was nothing I could do about his rejection.

He smiled at me very widely. He looks like he won the lottery. Uh, no. He even beat what looked like a lottery winner. Because now, the width of his smile, a dog smile. I snorted in my mind, you really thought he wanted something from me.

Luther immediately grabbed my hand. Our hands were crossed so I could feel his hands. The softness of his palm. The smoothness of his fingers. Because of that, I thought. Is it really a man? Well, if you look at her finger, she looks even more feminine compared to me. After all, maybe this is the hand of the rich. I hope it's all right.

We finally entered the mall. Luther and I are still holding hands so we really look like a couple. I looked around inside, my mouth fell open at the vastness and beauty.

Just now I set foot here again after so many months. I also realized that this is how I must be locking myself in Cedrick's house. Because, most of the things in the world are completely new to me.

We lined up outside the cinema. They say we will watch movies before shopping. There were a lot of people and I heard some shouting.

"So what are we going to watch?" Luther asked dumbly.

I looked at Elise and Cedrick. "What do you want babe?" Cedrick and

wrapped his arm around Elise' waist. I felt something stabbing in my chest while watching them. Why is it like this? Why do I feel this way?

No. I am not jealous.

"You babe? What do you want to watch baby?" I turned to Luther when he squeezed my palm. He was talking to me.

I smiled hesitantly. "Whatever," I replied. I'm not sure. It's up to them. I just go with the flow.

"What genre of movie is that?" I narrowed my eyes at the man next to me because of his philosophizing. He was holding his chin and scratching while looking up. It seems to be thinking what genre is the movie with a title of anything. It's really stupid!

"Stupid! Because I'm undecided" I defended myself.

"You're always undecided, aren't you? Maybe when you choose me, you'll be decided. You're out of being undecided Sherin. I'm here. Listen" he put my hand on his chest. It beats so fast!

I immediately took my hand back from him and just fell in love. For sure I was just kidding.

"Let's watch horror!"

At the same time, we turned to the girl who screamed. I looked at it and saw that it was from Elise. His hands are still clasped in front of him and he looks very eager to watch scary novels. I'm not surprised because of that. I was expecting it either, we are the set of couples. When this is the case, they prefer to watch horror so they have a reason to hug the person next to them in fear.

"Horror?" Luther asked.

"Yeah, horror!" Elise repeated enthusiastically.

"Oh come on Tara!" Luther so we started lining up.

I am holding a large container of popcorn in my right hand while a Coke float is in the other. I took a sip of it when I felt thirsty. Luther and I were side by side as we walked into the movie theater. It was dark and from here, I could hear people shouting and the loud and terrifying sound of the movie.

"You go first." Luther said to me when we reached the upper seats.

I nodded so I stepped my feet up. I chose to sit behind Elise and Cedrick's seat because I didn't want to be their equal. After feeling my grip on the chair, Luther followed suit. He also sat next to me and put his Coke float on the side, in the hole in the seat.

"When you're scared, just hug me."

I laughed at what Luther whispered to me. "Sorry but I'm not afraid with ghost" I answered and drank from my Coke float.

"Really?" I nodded. "I'm not the only one who will hug you because I'll be scared." he said jokingly so I made him suffer.

"Try it!" I put my fist in his face.

"Just kidding!" he laughs while shaking his head.

"Maybe it wasn't just your fist that hit me when I did that!" he added and glanced at Cedrick.

I just ignored him and just focused on what I was watching. I'm not afraid of the movie. I was just surprised by the shouting of people inside, especially Elise's shout. I laughed in my mind. He was the one who invited us to watch a horror movie but he was so scared.

I leaned back in my chair. I'm not into horror movies. I don't like watching it not because of scary feelings but other reasons. This type of movie always has sad endings. The hero always dies or if not the hero, the second lead. I don't like that. I don't like people dying. I hate shows that make me sit down. At shows that will make me cry.

Nothing. Life is sad, huh? Do I also bring fantasy?

They used to say, when I was young... fairy tales are true. Where, when the princess is in danger, her beloved prince is always there and ready to help. He is ready to save her from danger.

I believe in that. Because I told myself it's not impossible. But as time went on, time sped up, I also became aware of the real world. The world is painful and difficult. Where.. fairy tales aren't true. Fairy tales didn't exist.

So sometimes. With so much difficulty and sadness, I would rather believe myself that it is true. Even though I know it's not really. Even though I know there really isn't. With my burden being so heavy... I still keep hoping that despite my personality... someone will come to me who will lighten my heart and lighten my burden.

"Kid, cover your eyes. You're not allowed to watch that!"

I went back to my senses when Luther blocked my view. I can't see the big screen anymore.

"What!" I hated him. I heard Luther's soft laugh as soon as he saw my reaction after seeing the image flashed on the screen.

My eyes widened slightly. The two main characters in the movie were having sex. God. It's not new to me but nothing. I'm just a little surprised why is this being aired?

I felt dizzy. I forgot that your type of movie is erotic.

I'm currently having goosebumps while hearing the woman's moan inside. So strong. I was horrified because it seemed familiar. Why is the growling familiar?

My eyes are awake. Lips slightly parted. Attention is serious. The two main characters just finished having sex. My throat was dry so I drank from my Coke float. Terrible. It's intense to watch it with others.

I suddenly stood up from my seat when I felt like peeing. "Just wait, huh?" I said as I passed by Luther.

"Where are you going?" There was a smile in his voice.

"I-In the wash room." I answered.
