"I want to take you out," Colten huskily proposes, twirling a piece of my hair between his fingers. My eyes follow the movement of his digits.

"Take me out?" I question, my gaze falling to his lips.

"Yeah," he smiles. "Like on a date."

My heart leaps with excitement. A date sounds fun after the chaotic weeks we've had.

"Okay," I agree. My eyes zero on Colten's lips which are moving closer to mine. In now time, our mouths are attached and moving against each other.

Colten let's out a big breath through his nose, his hand squeezing my ass and pulling me closer to his bare body. A soft moan falls from my lips as he begins to massage my bottom, my breasts firmly pressed against his chest. "Let's go take a shower."

We're both out of breath, but end up taking a shower and then head back to my house for clothes.

"Where are we going anyway?" I ask as we pull into my driveway. I want to dress accordingly for this date.

"Movies," he tells me making a sigh of relief escape my lips. "And some lunch. Nothing too fancy."

I smile and get out of the car with Colten in tow. Unlocking the door, I step foot into the warm house and immediately cover my eyes.

"We eat on that counter!" I yell at Brittni and Jackson who seem to be about to have sex on our kitchen.

"I didn't think you'd be home so soon," Jackson says, so I feel it fine to open my eyes. He's only in a pair of sweats with his chest bare and Brittni is in his shirt from yesterday. I don't know if she's wearing anything underneath. I shutter.

"I just have to grab some clothes," I tell him. "Colten's taking me out."

"Gotcha," my brother nods. Brittni seems too embarrassed to say anything at the moment so I just walk up the stairs. Not before I hear...

"Nice!" By none other than my boyfriend. Stupid boys.

I quickly get changed in a pair of warm clothes that are casual and comfy at the same time. I add minimal make up before heading back downstairs to where my brother and boyfriend are watching yet another recording of their last football game.

"You ready?" Colten asks, standing up from the couch. I nod.

"Be home by eleven," Jackson waves us off. I have no idea where Brittni went, but I'll hopefully see her tonight.

"I will," I roll my eyes and follow Colten out to his car. It's a Sunday and I'm pretty sure the movies won't be too packed. Or will it? Don't most people want to lounge around on Sunday's? Frick.

During the drive, Colten places his hand on my thigh, his thumb making circular motions on my legging clad skin. It actually tickles.

Once we make it to the movie theater, Colten buys two tickets for The Conjuring 2. I don't really care for scary movies, so it's whatever. Since Colten had paid for the tickets, I bought the popcorn and slurpee. He wasn't too happy about that.

"Are you going to hold me if I get scared?" I ask Colten once we've taken a seat. This theater has cushioned seats that are like living chairs. There's a divider between each one which I lift to snuggle up to Colten. He wraps his arm around me and kisses the top of my head.

"I'm already holding you, baby," he whispers lowly. "But I'll fuck you if you are that scared."

I blush. "I'm pretty sure our fellow peers wouldn't like that very much."

"What do you think people do in here?" He asks, looking amused.

"Watch the movie?" I question, confused. At least that's what I do, do other people play board games or some shit?

"Nah, baby," he leans closer, his lips touching my ear making me shiver. "It depends on the couple, but a lot of times, there's a lot of blow jobs going on. Hand jobs too but mostly-"

"Okay!" I pull my head away from his mouth. I had no idea that people did that. I've seen movies and shows where they make out, but never, you know, do that. That's disgusting.

Colten chuckles, gripping my chin and guiding my lips to his. My eyes shut in the moment of bliss, my fingers tugging at the jacket is wearing. I thought it would be a simple kiss, but his tongue slides along the seam of my lips, and now I know otherwise. I part my lips for him, letting his magical tongue explore my mouth while I try to match his movements. Freaking sex God.

A soft moan leaves my mouth, not exactly my fault since Colten thought it'd be appropriate to squeeze my bum. He's had a strange obsession with it since last night.

Colten pulls away first, both of our breathing labored. "I can't get enough of you."

We're still pretty close, so close that every time Colten talks, his lips brush over mine. And it always sends a round of shivers up my spine.

"I can tell..." I breathe, my body horribly effected by him. Why is that?

"You know what?" He whispers, his eyes dark.

"Hmm," I bite my lip as the lights start to dim signally the start of the movie.

"These lips aren't the only ones I want to kiss," he growls, his teeth nibbling on them. The meaning behind his words has my face heating up as well as every other part of my body. With one last peck, Colten turns his attention back to the screen while I try to ignore the heat between my thighs.

This is going to be a long movie.

•••

I stand corrected when throughout the almost two hour showing, Colten had the right mind to touch me. There weren't that many people in the theater, but still.

I would slap his hand away, but this seemed to drive him further, so he would keep doing it. I told myself to just ignore it, but when he began to rub my core through my leggings, I flipped. He laughed at me, like it was some sort of joke, but I didn't think it was funny.

It was one thing to tease me when we both knew we would be doing stuff, but to do it in a movie theater, hell no.

"You're overreacting!" He call out, grabbing my forearm and turning my to face him.

"I'm not mad," I tell him. "It just wasn't the right place for all that."

"What about my car?" He smirks, his eyes glazing over with lust and hunger.

"How about home?" I smile. "I'm starving. Can we go get something to eat?"

"You want something to eat?" His eyes darken, pulling me to his chest. "I'll give you some to eat."

"Not that," I shake my head, my cheeks reddening.

"Same thing," he shrugs and I push at his chest, laughing when he nearly falls over a couple. He apologizes, but they glare at him anyway.

"Way to ruin their mood," I giggle making Colten grimace. "I bet you just cock blocked the poor guy."

(I wrote cocky locked the first time and I'm still dying from it xD)

He laughs. "Sucks."

We start walking towards the little cantina that's not too far from the theater. It's more like dinner than lunch since it's already getting dark out, but I don't mind.

The hostess directs us to a two seat booth in the far back of the little restaurant. It's so cozy in here. Why haven't I been here before?

"It's freezing outside," Colten shivers, shrugging off his jacket.

It is, but I love the winter so the harshness of the season doesn't faze me much.

"Yeah," I agree, taking off my coat as well, before looking through the menu. The waitress comes by to take our orders on drinks and then I'm back to trying to find a meal. "This is like a Coney Island."

"It is isn't it?" Colten nods, looking around. "The only difference is that this place seems more classy and prepared."

I nod in agreement with that. Don't get me wrong, I love a Coney Dog as much as the next person, but they aren't some where you'd go for a date. It's just too casual and a bit unprepared like Colten said.

"Can I talk to you about something?" He asks, after we get our drinks and order food.

"Yeah," I nod, leaning on the table to listen closely.

"What did you do with Dustin while we were broken up?" As much as I would love to keep that behind me, I know Colten deserves to know. Especially, after I had told him we were dating.

"Nothing, really," I shrug. "We kind of just hung out. He was easy to talk to and listened when I needed him."

"You didn't kiss him?" He asks, looking strangely calm which had my nerves buzzing. Usually when possessive males like my boyfriend were calm, that meant they were thinking of ways to kill another person.

"No," I look down. I didn't, but his intense gaze has me feeling like I did.

"What's this then?" He asks, sliding something across the table. It's a rectangular, velvet box. "Open it."

I look up at him only to see a vacant look on his face.

Taking a deep breath, I open the box and first see a note. My gaze switches to Colten for a second before I open it.

Nikki,

I've really enjoyed your company the past two weeks. You have an amazing personality that makes me forget all my problems for a few minutes. You always had a way of making me laugh when no one could and I thank you for that.

I got you this charm bracelet for your birthday because you deserve it. With everything you went through with Colten and the break up, I felt you needed it. I had made sure to save up just enough money to get this for you because you are an amazing girl who deserves more than what she's given.

I really hope you like this little present from me, and maybe you'd want to go on another date sometime? These past weeks have been great and each day I learned a little more about you, I really like you. Just call me whenever you want to hang out. Xx

Love Dustin Capri

P.s. Happy birthday! You deserve it.

I lift my head from the letter to see the charm bracelet sitting neatly inside the velvety cushion. I bite my lip to get rid of the emotion that's threatened to break through. It's beautiful. Too beautiful.

I want to take it out of its box and put it on my wrist, but I think otherwise. I don't deserve this, Dustin was wrong to give this to me. I need to give it back. With that being in my mind, I place the note neatly into the rightful place.

"You read it?" I question Colten while looking at the present.

"Of course I did," his voice his husky.

"And what do you think?" I finally look up, to see the emotions swirling in his hazel iris's.

"I think you love me and he was never more than a friend to you."
