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

My heart couldn’t take it any longer; it was bursting with contentment and euphoria. I never expected Anakin’s parents to be very doting, and both of them is such an affectionate couple. It is no wonder Mom and Beth were best friends, for there were similarities in their traits. They are sincere and guileless; they never expect anything in return for their unending kindness and devotion. I have finally found someone that I could call Mom and Dad in place of my own.


The dinner was the best I ever had in a long while. The meals were succulent and tasty, so much so that I took second helpings. Sitting across me was Anakin, looking striking and mouthwatering in his suit, and he was staring at me libidinously. I blushed at the lustful stares from him and tried my very best to concentrate on what Beth was saying next to me.


“We have to discuss your wedding, honey,” Beth said. “Have the both of you selected the date yet?”
