This was the first time I heard him talking so animatedly about something. We reached the cinema floor and some of our classmates were waiting for us at the entrance. Izzie handed out tickets, while Noah gave Lance our refreshments. We went hurriedly inside to find seats. I could make out the heads of Charm, Val, and the rest seated near the middle. Lance and I were at the back: Izzie and Noah were in the row in front of us. Our class was scattered all over, and we can hear Val’s voice reverberating inside the cinema. Suddenly, the lights went out and the movie started. It was a funny, romantic movie and I was quiet all throughout. I was transfixed. Tom Hanks was really cute plus the story o

Despite Michael being an asshole, he was quite fun to watch movies with. We were in the sixth? Seventh? Eighteenth? Honestly, I had lost count of how many movies we had watched the moment we had taken a break in the afternoon. Yes, fucking afternoon. Before I blinked, it was thirteen minutes past twelve. We had to take, like, a two-hour break to eat something other than popcorn and use the bathroom. By the time we returned, it was another marathon. Who knew early 2000s rom-coms were so addicting? It was now my new favourite genre.

“You recommended a lot of documentaries to me, remember?” “Yeah, because recommending you rom-coms would have made it look like I'm flirting with you,” I said, remembering how much I wanted to talk to her about the romantic comedies from the 80s when she mentioned that she has basic tastes and just love to feel good rom-coms. “It wouldn't! People suggest romantic movies to each other all the time.” She sat up to see if I was joking about it. “You're serious about it. I didn't know that.”

Julia Roberts had her style. There was a different charm about movies made in the '90s and once you start watching there was no turning back. And we didn't. After Pretty Woman, Liam insisted on Notting hill but I wanted to watch The Crush. By the time it was three in the morning, we have watched both our choices along with My Best Friend's Wedding, resulting in my never-ending yawns this morning. "Hey!" Bethany's singsong voice woke me up and I looked up to see her standing on the threshold of my office next to Alicia's who was currently in Russia, leaving just Bethany and me and two guards.

A moment later, he did the same, leaving just enough space between us to feel the quiet awareness of his presence. We picked out a classic romantic comedy-something light, something that didn't require too much thought. The kind of movie that made you laugh so much, effortlessly. As the scenes played out, we found ourselves laughing at the same moments, unconsciously leaning toward each other. Our shoulders bumped once, then again, but neither of us pulled away. The warmth of the room, the easy comfort between us, the flickering light off that screen-it felt like the kind of evening I hadn't realized I'd been craving. Something simple. Something real.

"Surely you get a vote in this too. You don't want some sissy chick flick, do you?" "If I get a vote, I'd have to let my slaves vote too. I'm not sure we wouldn't get the same movie, plus it's your date. If you'd gone to the theater, you'd be facing the same choice, except without us. If it were up to me, I might be voting for an old classic like 'Casablanca'. I might make a suggestion though that's not a recent movie which you might not have seen called 'Love and Other Drugs' with Anne Hathaway and Jake Gyllenhaal. It's both a romantic comedy and features some great sex scenes and nudity by Anne. Perhaps something for everyone, but I leave it to you."
