I abandoned my car and crossed the road in a jiff. I hurriedly stepped into the cinema, worried that I might miss her. She could be in any of the rooms watching a movie, and if she were, I would have to wait for two hours for her to come out of there. My eyes skimmed the whole floor and finally rested on her back. She was facing the board, nibbling on her index finger, pondering whether she should or shouldn’t watch a movie. Which movie? I couldn’t care less. As long as I get to talk to her and get to know her, it’ll be enough for me.

“Should I or shouldn’t I?” she mused.

“Whatever it is, I think you should,” I answered from right behind her. Then she slowly turned around to face me.

Her long and wavy brunette locks swayed as she pivoted. For that moment, my breath caught in my throat as my blue eyes locked with her hazel ones; sparks erupted in me.

“You think I should?” she asked, looking straight into my eyes.

“Wholeheartedly,” I replied softly.

“Which would you prefer?” she continued.

“Whichever your heart desires,” I bantered, eyes glinting.

“Hmm… Have you watched The Martian before?” she spoke again in her husky tone.

“Nope,” I smirked.

“Do you want a gist of it? I won’t tell if you hate spoilers,” she smiled.

For a moment, I was rooted to the spot by her carefree and beguiling smile. Man, I am hooked. Totally and unconditionally hooked.


My Curvy Italian Queen

As I drove out of the parking lot, my mind went back to how Ami almost hyperventilated at the Avenue. I was on edge after I saw her trembling in fear, and I have a hunch this happened after the incident with Richard Kane. Perhaps, she feared someone in the crowd might recognise her, or perhaps at the back of her mind, she didn’t want to bump into any familiar faces. It’s a long shot, but I need to investigate and get to the bottom of it.


One of the places that I’ve been to buy wedding gifts for my cousins was a place called Splurge. This retail shop offers something for every taste and occasion, and it has unique gifts, home decor and even jewellery. In short, it is a shop that provides souvenirs for all ages.
