I am Anima (Awkward Moment)

I was sad when the movie ended. I sighed and slowly got up, turning towards Jesse and Ceirra to ask them what they thought about the movie. I froze.
Jesse and Ceirra were oblivious to the world.The credits were rolling across the screen but they were plastered to each other so passionately it really ought to be illegal in public. It’s a little awkward for people like me. Especially when the person like me is on their first date with the guy they’ve been obsessed with for at least a year.
I stared at them for a moment, deciding that I was going to give up my scheming for good.
“Um,” I said finally.Jake was doubled over in his seat, laughing. I didn’t really get what was funny.
I raised my voice, “A- hem.”
Ceirra opened her eyes, saw me, and pushed Jesse away, a look of horror crossing her face.Jesse turned to look at me, unrepentant.
“Now that you two are done. Do you think we can go?” I asked testily.Ceirra was blushing furiously, and Jesse was glaring at Jake, who was still laughing hysterically.
