NaNoWriMo Novel: Ch.5 Popcorn

He picks out one of my dad’s movies that I have never seen before but he claims it is really good. I decide to see just how much he cares for me. When Edwin sits back down, I shift m weight and lay my head on his shoulder. Instinctually, he wraps his arm around my waist. I smile; this was my favorite position to be in while watching movies.

Around an hour later, I sit up and look at Edwin. “You want some popcorn?â€? I ask.

He glances at the clock and so do I; it has been almost an hour since I got home. “Sure.â€? He says, shrugging.

“You can keep the movie going.â€? I say as I stand up and head to the kitchen. I grab the popcorn and put it in the microwave when I hear the movie stop. I shake my head and set the timer for the popcorn. As I hit start, I feel hands wrap around my waist and a head nuzzle my neck before I feel lips brush along my skin.

I smile slightly, and lean back against him.
