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

Amidala had told me about Doug and what he could do with a computer at hand. I have faith and trust Ami in all her decisions and judgements. What I didn’t realise was how a computer geek could be so good-looking. I thought he would at least wear a pair of glasses and braces, but I was dead mistaken. Doug Miller could pass off as a GQ cover model. And when he held Ami tightly to his body, my possessiveness flared up.


As Amy sat beside me once again on our love seat, she covered my hand with hers, picked it up and then kissed my knuckles ardently. She gazed at me with her sparkling eyes and whispered, “You are my world and my life. Never forget that.”


She knew what I was feeling, and I beamed with happiness and swooped down to capture her lush lips with mine. Then I murmured softly, “Oh, I never forget, my love, because you are my universe.”


“Wow… I never imagined you would one day meet your prince charming, Amidala,” Doug interjected, grinning from ear to ear.
