"Sure" I replied.
She smiled at me and motioned for me to sit on the couch while she went to the fridge and prepared the ice cream.
"Sachie" I called her attention. She turned her head to me and said "Yes?" while she was still placing the cups, spoon and ice cream on the tray.
"Would you like to watch some movie? I could connect my phone to your smart TV so we can watch at Netflix." I suggested.
"Sure!" upon her go signal I set up everything on her smart TV and chose some random movie. I didn't know which movie she preferred but I chose the movie Pandora. It's a Korean movie about a nuclear power plant that was affected by an earthquake.
She placed the tray on the table and sat beside me. "What movie are we going to watch?" she asked while scooping the ice cream and transferring them on the cups. "Pandora" I answered.
"Pandora?" and then like a light bulb flickered she said, "The Pandora Korean movie? I saw the trailer and I wanted to watch it." she exclaimed. Well I thought she wouldn't like it since most girls would prefer the chick flicks or the romance type of movies. She stood to switch the lights and went back beside me and then handed me the blue cup while she had the pink the one.
I started playing the movie and made sure the sound was loud enough not to startle the sleeping Kenji on her room. Actually I already watched this film and it was good. What I wanted to do right now is to watch her while watching the movie. I look at her from time to time and she was watching intently. So she's like this when watching a movie. No distractions just like me whenever I'm on movie mode. We both wanted to focus on the movie so we won't miss any detail.
She laughed at some parts. She's also reacting at some point. She pouts her lips on the sad parts. I wasn't focused on the movie now. I was silently observing her while eating my ice cream. I know she won't notice me watching her because its dark right now and the only light that we have is coming from the smart TV. It's like I'm seeing different expressions from her face that makes me feel to amused at the moment. She's to cute you know and I know it's bad for my heart. I hope she'll see more than a friend. More like the suitable father to her baby. Oh Reeve! You are getting ahead this time. But I'm happy that I'm a part of her family. I'm part of her and Kenji's life.
I think her eyes are getting watery. It's the scene where the lead actor was bidding his farewell after finally deciding to sacrifice himself in order to save more people. Oh no she's crying. I wanted to hug her and console her but I can't it might be very weird. I remembered the handkerchief I placed on my pocket. I took it handed it to her. She was taken aback by my gesture. She looked at me with tears in my eyes and took the hanky from me and wiped her tears.
"Thank you" she mumbled while still crying from the movie.
***
Reeve handed me the hanky and I took it. For the second time again he saw me cry. I should've watch it alone but somehow knowing someone is there for you is so heartwarming. I wasn't able to focus on the first parts of the movie. It's like I'm feeling tensed. I don't know why I asked him to stay for some ice cream. I know he wouldn't refuse but I don't want to hear him refuse so yeah I'm totally hoping he would say yes.
I could feel him looking at me some point but every time I turn my head slightly he's totally focused on the movie. Maybe I am imagining things. Stop assuming girl. Not happening. He's here to help you with the baby. No more. Yes more. Arghhh stop it. Stop it.
I didn't think this movie was such a tearjerker. I was holding onto his handkerchief after wiping my tears. Wish I could keep it as a remembrance. Oh gosh why am I like this. Is the Kenji effect? Where you yearn for someone?
***
We watched movie after movie. I can sense her tiredness but she stills give it a go. We were both leaning on the couch when I suddenly felt her head on my shoulders. I was shocked at first so when I tried to check on her I found she was asleep. Finally she got tired from fighting her sleepiness. I grabbed the remote on the the table carefully not to wake her up. I switched the TV off and then placed my head on her above her head that's peacefully resting on my shoulder.
Oh boy... The night's going to be longer...
***
I felt myself snuggling its like I have human pillow beside me. It's fragrance is so intoxicating. I wanted to snuggle more. It felt so secure at the moment. I was brought back to my sensed when I heard Kenji crying. Oh I remembered we were having a movie marathon and I fell asleep. Yes I fell asleep but where did I fell asleep?
When I opened my eyes I saw myself hugging something with a blue shirt. When I looked up I saw the guy wearing the blue shirt. My eyes widened upon the realization that I am snuggling with Reeve. I used his arm as my pillow and his arms were encircled on me. I lifted my hand gently not to wake him up. Good thing I bought a big couch and we we are able to fit in it. I carefully removed his arm and then I sat. Finally I was able to get out of the couch without waking him up. I straightened my clothes and then went to my room to pick up Kenji.
I was humming and consoling him while preparing his milk.When I gazed my eyes on the sleeping Reeve at the couch I could feel myself blushing from the embarrassment of sleeping with him on the couch.
Oh Sachie... I sighed... Now you know that things will be different from now on...
