Chapter 1074
Marcus dropped some serious dough on a big house in Lakeview Estates. It didn’t get a dedicated movie room like the Blueshell Mansion or Celestial Chateau, but he still splurged on some top–notch projection gear.
At his joint, they got a movie experience that was a cut above the rest, way better than the run–of–the-mill home projectors.
Marcus said, “I don’t wanna watch a fick at home, I wanna hit the theater with you!
Comelia responded, “It’s almost eleven, and we’ve got work tomorrow. Let’s catch a movie tomorrow night. You rest up tonight”
Marcus gently patted her head, “Tonight, we stick to the plan”
Time wasn’t on his side, it was their first cinema date, and might be their last too.
Comelia didn’t quite get why Marcus was so hell–bent, but if he wanted it, she would accompany him.
The nearest cinema was just outside their residential area, it was walking distance.
Hand in hand, they strolled to the cinema. Cornelia had never hit the cinema alone with a guy before, so she was kinda excited. “Let’s see what’s playing”
Summer blockbusters were in full swing, plenty of flicks to choose from. A rom–com would be a safe pick for a date night, but the one available had crap reviews.
In the end, Cornelia went for a war movie, “Whatcha think about this one?”
Marcus said, “It’s a solid flick ”
Cornelia said, “I’ll grab the tickets. Front row or back row, what’s your poison?”
Marcus answered, “I’m treating you to the movies, I’ll get the tickets. How ‘bout the last row?”
Cornelia said, “Sounds good.”
Marcus not only grabbed the tickets, but also went for Coke and popcorn.
Comelia stopped him, “I just wolfed down a ton of buffalo wings. I’m stuffed.”
Marcus said, “We don’t necessarily have to eat ‘em. It’s just what girls usually get, you should have them too.”
Cornelia quipped, “Other girls have a young boyfriend, should I have one too?”
Before, if Cornelia made a joke like that, he’d huffily tell her that he was the only man in her life.
But today, after a moment’s contemplation, Marcus seriously told her, “You can check out other guys; if you fancy someone, let me know.”
Comelia stared at him in disbelief, “Are you the same Jeremy I know?”
Marcus was never the romantic type, but today he not only asked her out, but also said some scary stuff. Cornelia couldn’t help but question if this was really the Marcus she knew
Marcus took her hand, “You can joke with me, can’t I joke with you?”
