"How long are you planning to keep pouting?" Emily asked with a huff as she took a sip of her drink before returning her attention to the box of popcorn.

The movie was about to start in a minute or two and she already could not help but attack the snacks that they had bought.

When she received no response from the man sitting beside her, she raised her head to look at her right, finding Kaiden slouching in his seat with a displeased expression on his handsome face.

She bit lightly on her lower lip to stop the smile that was threatening to bloom on her face. She raised her right hand and softly poked Kaiden's cheek twice with her index finger.

"Stop reading too many romance novels. We can enjoy ourselves here in the mid-row just as much as those people in the back rows." She told him sweetly before she returned her attention to the big screen.

Kaiden remained silent for a couple of seconds before he quickly took a glance at his mate before saying in a low tone, "No matter what, the truth is that you ruined my plan. I need compensation."

Emily turned towards him with her eyebrows raised high as she asked, "What compensation?"

The smile that suddenly appeared on his face made warning bells ring in her head but before she could find a way out of the situation, it was already too late as Kaiden suddenly stole a soft quick kiss from her.

The man smiled cheekily at her as he grabbed his own popcorn bucket before turning his attention towards the screen. His face was all smiles as he was now quite pleased after getting the compensation.

"You...!"

Emily could not find the proper words to reprimand the man so she just decided to let the matter go as she too turned her attention back to the screen. The movie had already started and she wanted to enjoy it.

It was around ten or so minutes later when she felt Kaiden moving beside her. He grabbed her arm and snuggled closer to her before resting his head against her shoulder.

"What's up with you?" She asked him as she tried to look at his face.

"Don't mind me. I'm just trying to enjoy this as much as I can." Kaiden muttered in response as he softly rubbed his cheek against her bare shoulder.

Since she was wearing an off-shoulder black summer dress, her collarbone and shoulders were completely bare. She was not only being sensitive to his skin against hers but also to his soft silky hair that was rubbing her skin.

Kaiden probably noticed her sensitivity because he suddenly moved his face up to look at her square in the eyes before he suddenly placed a soft kiss against the crook of her neck, making Emily gasp.

She hurriedly placed her hands over her mouth to stifle her voice before hurriedly looking around to see if anyone had noticed them. Thankfully, everyone was busy enjoying the movie and probably no one noticed Kaiden's shamelessness.

"Kaiden...!"

She whispered his name in a warning tone as she glared at him.

"Alright! I won't do it anymore. Let's enjoy the movie." Kaiden said as he looked at her with a serious expression before once again placing his head against her shoulder.

Just when Emily thought that he was being sincere this time, she felt him lightly brushing his fingers against her left wrist, the place where her soul mark was hidden.

She hissed lightly which made him stop for a second before he resumed brushing his fingers against her sensitive skin.

Right! When it came to his touches, she was always sensitive from head to toe. No matter which part of her body he was touching, she always felt like she was ready to melt in a puddle.

After a while, she finally got used to his fingers moving against her skin and relaxed enough to enjoy the movie.

The good thing was that Kaiden acted like a decent man after that as he too watched the movie in silence and with great interest.

He was finally content with just hugging her arm as if his life depended on it!

***

Two and half an hour later...

"Angel, I thought you were just joking back then," Kaiden whined like a child as he tugged on his girlfriend's sleeve while following her into the makeup section.

They did buy masks and sunglasses before heading towards the PVR but he thought that she did it because she was a little bit angry back then. Little did he knew that as soon as they came out of the movie hall, he would need to put those things on so that no one would interrupt them anymore.

His angel knew how to hold grudges!

"Stop whining. And what's the big deal about wearing a mask?" Emily questioned him as she picked up two light-colored shades of lipstick.

"No problem with the mask... but can I take off the glasses? After all, we are inside..." Kaiden trailed off when he noticed the look on his angel's face.

"The answer is no. Your eyes are even more dangerous than your luscious lips. You need to hide them both." She stated in a determined tone before turning towards the mirror.

On the other hand, Kaiden found himself smirking after listening to her words. He was suddenly feeling proud of his looks. It's not like he often got to hear his girlfriend complimenting him for his looks. Now, he was in love with his lips and eyes, they were his precious treasures and he needed to keep them protected for his mate.

A frown appeared on Emily's face as she looked at her lips in the mirror. After thinking for a while, she turned to look at Kaiden with a beautiful smile on her lips.

"Here, let me try them on you." She said while taking off his mask.

"Huh?" Kaiden looked at her in confusion but then he saw her opening the light pink shade of cream lipstick as she moved closer to him.

-

Emily chewed on her lower lip as she closely inspected Kaiden's lips that were now painted in two different shades - light pink and light red.

"Why don't you take a look and tell me which one looks better?" She asked him as she helped him to move towards the mirror so that he could take a look at his lips.

However, Kaiden did not follow up as he immediately turned to look at her as he spoke, "Actually, they both look great. Their smell is light and pleasant. And most importantly, they both taste a little like vanilla. I like it."

Emily stared at the man with a puzzled expression on her face as she asked, "Why do you care about the taste?"

Kaiden's eyebrows went high as he looked at the girl like he was looking at someone stupid.

"What are you talking about, angel? Taste is nearly the most important point that needed to be considered here. What if you bought a lipstick with terrible taste? It will ruin our kiss!"

The attendant standing a little away from them could not help herself as she chuckled softly but quickly controlled herself as she turned away to address the other customers.

Seeing that they were once again alone, Emily turned to look at Kaiden as she scolded him, "What nonsense are you talking about? Don't you dare..."

"Angel...! I'm being serious. It's a good thing that so far you have kept using lipsticks with sweet tastes. Otherwise, our kisses won't be this much... mmph...!"

Kaiden was silenced when Emily suddenly covered his mouth with her palm as she glared at him.

"That's enough! You can stop here. Shameless!" She mumbled before taking off her hand from his mouth as she once again made him wear the mask.

Without wasting another second, she decided to buy both shades of lipsticks and moved towards the aisle filled with thousands of skincare products.

Though she did not like to wear makeup often, she still provided her skin with the care that it needed.

She spent quite some time selecting the products from her favorite brands before she finally moved to make the payment. The good thing was, Kaiden remained silent throughout that entire period.

As they walked out and headed towards the elevator, Kaiden asked her, "Are you angry that I did not offer to pay for your shopping?" He sounded genuinely curious.

Emily stopped in her steps as she turned to face him with a glare. "Do you think it will make you the perfect boyfriend if you will pay for my stuff? Or do you think I'm unable to afford my daily basics?"

Kaiden took off his sunglasses as he looked at her with twinkling eyes as he answered, "I'm happy that I did not offer. I'm a smart boyfriend. Let's go."

He took hold of her hand with his free hand, since his other hand was filled with the shopping bags, and pulled her inside the elevator.

The soft smile that was playing on Emily's lips was the proof of how much she enjoyed the date and Kaiden was also happy to see her smile. He loved her smile... he loved her!
