Waiting in line at the cinema, no one noticed who was at my side. Beaus hand never left mine and standing side by side we were just like every other couple around us. His cap was kept a little low over his forehead, but nothing that made him stand out. He paid for our tickets and before he could do the same for the popcorn, I had it taken care of.

“I could have paid for that, I’m taking you out remember?” He reached over and had some of my raspberry slushy earning a glare from me considering he said he was fine with a plain coke.

“Yeah, but I’m not going to let you pay for everything after all those roses!”

“Don’t worry about money, I got that covered.” He kissed my cheek, his lips cold from the frozen drink and I wiped my cheek as if I was disgusted.

“I’m not worried about it, but I’m not going to let you throw it around on me.”

“Can’t I spoil you?”

“Of course, just in tiny doses. You don’t need to try and impress me” He seemed confused, and I remembered what he said about getting Julia everything she could possible want and it still hadn’t been enough. “I have you, that’s all I want.”

We found a seat towards the back where it wasn’t as crowded as the rest of the theatre and getting comfortable I was glad he chose somewhere new that had the movable armrests. Turning the single seats into a two-seater he yawned and put his arm around my shoulders, holding me close as the popcorn balanced between us.

“As if I didn’t see that coming” I teased and all I got in response was a piece of popcorn being thrown at my face. By the time the movie finished, Beau had stolen all of my slushy and unimpressed I took the last of his coke. We walked out with me still under his arm, my arm around his waist and we blended in unnoticed, even though I saw three people with Taking Back Monday band shirts on.

“Late lunch?” He offered and we found a restaurant nearby. I didn’t hold back, ordering a burger and milkshake he did the same. We talked easily, sharing fries as we ate and he told me all about what happened in Canada. It was hard not to be inspired by how much passion he had for performing, it was a huge part of him and I’d never seen him happier.

“How did you eat all of that and the fries, plus all that popcorn?” He teased as we left, and I only shrugged rubbing my belly which was stuffed.

“I like to eat?”

“I’ve never gone out with a girl who would eat real food and actually eat all of it. I’m impressed!” He kissed the tip of my nose and thankfully all that food stopped the butterflies that swarmed through me. “Ready for part two?”

“There’s more?”

“Sure, we’ve done the movie and eating thing, now time to do something fun!”

“I wish you’d said something, I wouldn’t have eaten so much” We headed towards the pier and I really regretted having a full stomach at the sight of the rides and Ferris wheel.

The rest of afternoon we played mini-golf, messed around on the carousel and as the sun began to set we had a carriage to ourselves on the Ferris wheel and as beautiful as the sunset was, it didn’t matter as we sat side by side making out like teenagers.

“Today has been amazing, thank you” I reached and kissed his cheek, his smile making me smile. We walked along the pier which was lit up like a Christmas tree in the night. The weather may have started to cool down, but it didn’t stop the crowds and finding a free table we ordered dinner.

“I have one more thing planned so don’t think it’s over yet”

“Any clues? If it’s more rides, I’m not eating dinner!”
