Jess' Pov
My heart was beating out of my chest as I picked up Piper for the movie. We sat in silence as I drove.
I held open the door.
I used my manners.
I was being a good guy to her.
So why wasn't she talking?
We sat down in our seats and a trailer for a horror film came on. It wasn't too scary until the jump scare at the end of the trailer. Piper grabbed my hand as she gasped. I turned to her. "Sorry." She whispered. "No, no, it's okay, really." I said.
As the movie went on, I found my arm wrapped around her and then, at the romantic scene...I leaned in and kissed her lips.
