Good days
5.1 Mae West
Spring 1996, Cinema
"This movie should be great! It has really good reviews!", Mae said to Herbert, being very excited about it. After a full week of waiting, he had finally dared to call her. Mae was pleasantly surprised, and right out invited him to the cinema for the following weekend.
"Really? I did read it is creepy...", Herbert replied, somewhat unsure.
Mae wondered if he was scared of horror movies. Okay, maybe it was not the best idea for a first date, but there hadn't been any other interesting choice today.
And who knows, maybe she got a chance to snuggle him when the movie got too scary...
She looked forward to this.
The movie turned out to be not so scary after all, but still quite compelling.
So Mae forgot about the snuggling.
"This movie definitely was great!", she burst out when they went out of the cinema.
"Well... I am not sure...", Herbert said shyly. So he had been scared.
Mae immediately regretted that she didn't grab a chance then. Now it didn't look like any touching would happen anymore today...
"You can pick the movie next weekend", she said, trying to get another chance. "If you would like to?"
His face lit up.
"I would love to! Can I pick you up from work again?", he asked.
"Yes please!", Mae agreed happily.
Next time, she would do better.
To miss a snuggling chance. What a bummer!
ReplyDeleteShe should have picked a more boring movie! xD
DeleteThey look like a sweet couple.
ReplyDeleteAren't they? Oh yes, young love c:
DeleteMae! Get your shit together woman! SNUGGLES ARE #1 PRIORITY (^^)
ReplyDeleteSeems the movie was more interesting ;_;
DeleteHow do,you forget the snuggles?
ReplyDeleteUnbelivable, isn't it?
DeleteMae! How could you forget about snuggling with that handsome man? And he wore a tie!
ReplyDeleteHe had to look fine for his first date with pretty Mae ;o
Deleteso fine!
DeleteHerbert is such a sweetheart! Look how happy Mae's proposition for a second date made him and he didn't even dare to suggest one on his own *cries*
ReplyDeleteHe's very shy xD
DeleteMae needs to peel off his shell first.
Judging from the empty theatre, it looked like the movie had been out for a while or it sucked. XD
ReplyDeleteor, let's say I was terrible at staging it better and place some npc's there. :D
DeleteAnd ofc the movie sucked.
DeleteHerbert is quite passive isn't he? Nice guys finish last. Herbert needs to make some moves. I'm glad he's picking her up. But he needs to do less friendzone activities.
ReplyDeleteyeah ngl he's a little intimidated! 😂 Mae's pretty, young, and quite self-confident!
DeleteI'm not really seeing a whole lot of chemistry going on. Sure, he seems nice enough, but there's a difference between being shy and being bland. I know that's harsh, though. Maybe he'll clme out of his shell a bit as time goes on.
ReplyDeleteCall him bland. It's so far the most accurate description anyone has found for him 😅 But who knows, maybe Mae will make him come out of his shell?
