Ah, horror movies. They are my life. I can watch a horror movie without flinching, without consuming nightmares, and without screaming. However, as the movie began, I wondered if I should touch up some of my acting skills. This idea came into my head as Jake leaned over, “If you get scared, I’m right here.”
I was about to reply with a flippant remark when he settled his arm around my waist… I had two options before me: Pretend to be a pathetic wimp in order the cuddle up closer, or be my normal, strong self and settle for the current position…
Or… I could just cuddle up closer without acting scared. I considered these options as the movie began. As the opening credits flashed across the screen, I snuggled closer, leaning my head on his shoulder. He looked down and flashed a smile at me, settling me more comfortably against him. It was heaven… in the middle of a horror movie.
We sat like this throughout the movie… the blood, the guts, the zombies and grisly murders. Romance was in the air.
