013

"WHAT do you want to watch?" I asked them when we're finally settled with where we should sit. On both single sofa, Amy and Joanna while Eros and I sat on the long sofa at both end of it. I had the remote in my hand and scrolling through Netflix to see if ever they want something to watch from it. At first, it was only Joanna who keeps demanding on what we should watch but as she keeps babbling about how she watched and got surprised with the plot twist Amy disagreed on watching that movie.

According to her, "There's no thrill, you knew already the flow of the story and spoiled too much about it"

Joanna being herself exaggeratedly showed her shock, she even has her mouth open with her hand on her chest and said "I did?" the looked at Eros and I as if expecting us to say no. But when she saw that we're nodding, she pouted and demanded another movie.

But Amy had her eyes on a horror movie and pointed Ouija Board. They agreed. I've never watched any horror movies because it will surely keep me awake later at night. The reason why I prefer romantic movies. I still clicked it, placed a pillow on my lap and hugged it. I don't want to complain because Amy put up with me when I wanted her to change clothes. It's time to give back the favor.

It's already playing when I felt the sofa moved. I looked at my side when I saw Eros moving closer, his eyes are focused watching yet his body is getting closer until it left no space. "What?" I whispered.

"Are you scared?" he also whispered.

"No. I am not" I immediately denied.

"Yeah, Ms. Defensive. Just hook your hand on my arm if ever you got scared. But I doubt that because you're not, right?"

"Yes. You could even go back to your seat because I can handle it. I love horror movies, you've got nothing to worry about"

But as soon as looked at the screen, and it is a scene where the little girl looked into the glass in the top of a triangular wood and saw a black figure. That shocked me and the next thing I knew I had my arms around Eros' and my eyes are buried in his shoulder. I immediately sat up and got the pillow that fell on the floor. I continued watching, and in every scene I will just hug my pillow tightly and force myself to finish the film.

When it was finished, I just have to calm myself down before asking them what they want to watch next. I thought Amy will answer but she's quiet and just listening to what Joanna think of the movie we just watched. "We should watch something light, to ease down my scare. How about some romance film?"

I nodded and looked at Amy "Are you okay with that?" she smiled and nodded.

We played To all the boys I've loved before and everyone seemed to enjoy what we're watching when Eros suddenly spoke, "Don't you think it's stupid to write down what you felt on someone over a letter which you will not even send?"

"It's not stupid! She can't tell that person what she felt and doesn't have much courage to give nor send it" I said

"Then she's a coward" he concluded.

"Stop right there. She's not a coward, it just happened that she can't give the letters because being a girl who will confess to the person she like is pretty big thing. You must have to be brave enough to approach the guy and tell him what you feel then, you must have the thickest face because once he rejected you and you walked into each other, you should greet him as if nothing happened because he's now your newly found friend. How's that?"

"What if he actually likes her?"

"Now that's what I call 'rare'. People usually like someone they can't have and a someone confessing to you will erase the thrill of the chase"

"What if you're wrong? What if what you conclude about people is only based on your experience and is different from others, hmm?"

"Nothing will convince me otherwise" the looked again on the screen just to see that it was paused. I looked at Joanna and Amy, both are looking at our direction.

"Are you both done?" Joanna asked with a hint of teasing in her smile.

"You're both listening?"

Joanna rolled her eyes before answering "Duh? As if both of you are arguing quietly"

"Oh, sorry" then the film resumed. I looked at Amy who's still staring. "Yes?"

She just shook her head and and went to focus on the screen. We became silent, it was only the television which makes a noise around the room. We heard a knock, I immediately said "Come in"

One of our maids came in and bowed before saying "Your mother wants us to deliver the snacks for you, Miss" I nodded, she went outside and moved her hand as if telling someone to go, then a another maid came in with a service trolley. A large round wooden board with two kinds of cheese, lots of crackers, salami and fruits on it was placed on the center table. Bags of chips were also placed, soft drinks, wine with four wine glasses and an ice cream with also 4 glasses and spoons.

"Thank you so much" I said, they just bowed and went out. "Snacks, everyone?"

"This is too much for a snack" Eros noticed while getting a cracker and some of the blue cheese.

"I'm actually shock that this was only what her mother prepared for us" Joanna said while her mouth is full.

"You're saying that this is only few?" the three of us nodded.

"Her mother would put a a lot of food for only two people" Amy said. "I know because I'm usually one of those people who prepare for the both of you"

I just smiled shyly and silently ate. "There's nothing wrong with how your mother prepare for us. It's just that I'm shocked" Eros said.

We ate and started talking about anything under the sun. Then, resumed watching after we're full.
