"A MOVIE NIGHT"

Three days later of being free from Zoey's bucket list troubles, I was finally re-invited to it.

At my workplace, I received a call from a hot line and it happened to be her, calling from her school's hot line. Zoey informed me about today's bucket list activity.

I was holding the list in my handbag and I immediately brought it out to check out today's activity. It was a movie night with Sebastian. I gasped out in shock. Zoey isn't going to be there with us. Every thought of this, got me freaking out.

I was at a corner of the bank, lost in thoughts when my fellow colleague walked up to me, to find out what the problem was.

"Hey, hey." She called out to me, but I didn't notice anyone.

"Bianca!!." She screamed out my name.

I finally returned back to the real world. I was surprised to see her standing before me. I tried walking out, but she dragged me backwards.

"What's wrong with you?". She asked me.

"Leah it's nothing." I shoved her off.

"I'm always here for you okay?". She said to me, while I nodded my head with a smile.

She tapped my shoulder gently, and walked away. I heaved out a sigh of relief as I was almost caught today, because of my silly thoughts. I couldn't even focus on my work because of what tonight was going to hold for me. I can't imagine being in a dark theatre room with Sebastian, all in the name of watching a movie.

Zoey was being selfish now, because she wasn't thinking about me at all. I have to find a way to stop this nonsense, because it wasn't making any sense to me again.

**After work hours**

I returned back home very tired. I dozed off on a couch at the living room. Jasmine came back home and found me lying lazily on the couch. She helped me out with my shoes and my handbag. I was still fast asleep on the couch, not knowing when it clocked six in the evening.

Zoey was already back from school,and she wanted to disturb me again, by reminding me of the silly movie night happening tonight.

Zoey sat next to where I laid on the couch, looking at my face. She was moved by pity, seeing me sleeping and snoring stressfully.

Being a banker isn't an easy job at all. So many errands by our heads at the office.

"She passed out after coming back from work." Zoey muttered to herself.

"Yeah. She's been sleeping for three hours now." A voice said from behind.

Zoey turned her head backwards, realizing that it was none other but Jasmine. She stood up from the couch, facing Jasmine.

"Oh really?". Zoey asked her surprised.

"Yes. She needs to take a day off from work atleast." Jasmine suggested.

"We all know that she will never." Zoey said.

Their noise woke me up and I was surprised how I found myself sleeping on a couch at the living room. I jumped out from the couch, landing my butt to the ground. Both of them helped me out with standing up. I looked at them puzzled.

"How did I get here?". I asked them.

"Is this not enough reason for you to take a day off from work?". Jasmine asked me.

"Never. I'll never do that." I said stubbornly.

Zoey shook her head, while I looked at her. I remembered tonight's plan, and I felt like fainting. This little girl was already defeating an adult like me.

"Mum hope you're getting prepared?". She asked me.

"Prepared with what?". Jasmine asked me.

"It's nothing." I answered her, leaving the living room sluggishly.

Zoey followed me behind, while Jasmine stood at the living room, not understanding what was going on between us these days. Zoey joined me inside Jasmine's bed room, wanting to have a private conversation with me.

"I'm sorry I am putting you into all these." Zoey said to me.

"Then just stop it." I said to her.

"No I can't. You lied to me and it really hurts so much. Mr Sebastian used to be your fiance in the past, even though it was a contract relationship." Zoey said.

I looked at her, wondering why she was bringing it up again. I posed, looking at her strangely. Zoey placed her hands on mine, while I looked into her eyes.

"I'm on your side mum. I also want to see you win this case. His family wronged you." Zoey revealed to me.

"So why are you doing this?". I asked her like a C.B.I.

"You're fighting to get what rightfully belongs to you, and it's a good fist. Amist that, you can also fight to correct back your love story." Zoey said to me.

I shook my head, laughing at her words. The only love story I had in the past, was that of I and Liam. She was totally getting all of it wrong. I wasn't interested in any love story with Sebastian.

"I never had feelings for him." I said to her.

"What about that day at the park? Was it your hatred speaking, when you wiped off his blood with your cloth?". She asked me.

Zoey put me on a cliff with her question, and I really didn't know what to answer her anymore. I started pacing round Jasmine's room, trying to distract myself from her question. That question got me choked to be honest.

"Pretend like you didn't hear my question, but I know that I'm doing the right thing". Zoey said to me.

"I was only be caring. I'm not wicked like him." I replied her from a distance.

"Maybe you're scared that he might not love you in return. Don't worry, I also know that uncle has started liking you too." Zoey said to me.

I chuckled, ignoring her reply. I wasn't interested to know anything about that beater. He made my past frightful, and the last thing I would do, is to fall in love with him. Zoey should try harder, I couldn't care less at all.

★★The Movie Night★★

Zoey gave me the location of the cinema, and I was all dressed up to leave. She wished me lucks and I beamed a smile at her before leaving.

Getting at the cinema,I met Sebastian. He has been standing infront of the cinema, waiting for me. I tried going inside alone, but he called me.

I turned towards him, wondering what was going in his head now.

"What is it?". I asked him rudely.

"Are you going to pretend like you didn't see me?." He asked me.

"So what if I did?". I answered him back with a question.

Sebastian grabbed my hand, while I tried pulling my hands away from him. His masculinity was speaking again, and each time it happens, I get traumatized by the past. He's a bully and a toxic person.

"I can walk by myself." I said to him under my breath.

"Don't act stubborn now. If you didn't want this, you would have just refused." Sebastian said to me, dragging me into the cinema.

He took me to a seat into the dark room, while I sat down. He sat next to me. We were served some bowl of creamy popcorns.

"Just remain calm, while we watch this movie." Sebastian said with a low tone, pushing in some popcorns into his mouth.

I breathed out silently, fixing my eyes on the movie before us. It was a familiar movie. I was once watched its thriller on Jasmine's laptop. It was a romantic movie and this was actually a bad movie to watch with someone like Sebastian.

"The mood of the environment is giving love and romance." Sebastian said to me.

"This movie is not for people like you to watch. You should be watching some martial arts." I said to him rudely.

We watched the movie silently, and everything seemed familiar like the situation I was passing through. A single mother, that was abused by her ex husband. I didn't realize when I started crying at the middle of the movie. Sebastian lended his handkerchief to me, and I used it to cover my mouth while I sobbed like a baby.

"You're very dramatic." He teased me.

After watching the movie, we headed outside the cinema. The private cab was also waiting for us. I handed back the handkerchief to him. My eyes were already swollen because of the tears I shedded in there.

"Why did you cry that much?". He asked me concernedly.

"It's none of your business. That woman passed through so much in the hands of her ex husband.

Sometimes, divorce is not always a bad idea." I said, crying again.

Sebastian noticed that my sobs were dragging people's attention to us. He doesn't like embarrassment, and he hurriedly found a way to stop it. He pulled me into his arms, pretending to cuddle me in his arms. He took me to the cab, opening the door of the back seat for me. I entered inside, wiping my tears with the hem of my dress. He sat next to me, while the cab drove off.

"That movie really opened my eyes to hate you more." I said to him.

"Good for you. I don't like you either." Sebastian said to me.

"You're a monster. A bully and a beater." I insulted him.

Sebastian clenched his fist so tight, trying to control his anger so as not to hit me. The cab dropped him at his place first, before dropping me at mine. Everyone was already asleep when I returned. I took a cold bath, and joined Jasmine and Zoey at the bed. It was really a long sad night for me.
