Pretty Boy

Maybe I Don't Quite Know What To Say

Hogan seems to have enough of her already though, since he quickly moves his body away from her grip while narrowing his eyes to look at Bre. "What is it that you need now?" He asks.

Bre chuckles at his words, continuing to play her innocent self. "What?" She answers.

My body crashes with nervousness at the exchange they are having as Hogan pulls my body away from Bre and holds my arm with enough possessiveness to instantly make me shudder. "Don't fucking play with me. What do you want?" He says, even more irritated.

Bre's eyes widen from the anger in his voice, yet she still manages to smirk before making a reply. "Fine. We were just wondering.... that since you guys are already here. Why won't we just go on a double date?" She says, enthusiastically.

Collier continues to stare at her with heart-shaped eyes as Hogan's grip becomes firmer in my arms, seeming to burst from his rage.

My mouth slightly opens, waiting for her to bring in the pun of her joke, but she only trails her hand up to Collier's waist and walks off to the entrance, urging us to follow them. "Come on."

Me and Hogan exchange looks with one another, evidently confused, as we debate whether we should go in with them or immediately just run out of the cinema to leave them. Both will probably not be a good option since we'll definitely get our ass beat up if we reject Bre and Collier. It's really messed up how we would even have to second guess their strangely friendly invite, though we know how these two have been unto us.

Seconds have passed with just us staring at each other. The girl from the counter calls out to us to get our order as we pay for our popcorn. My brows raise to look at Hogan as I wait for his response. He just nods, feeling done with more of it, and I sigh with uncertainty as I take my hands to his and settle ourselves to follow them. Because honestly, how bad could it be?

                ********************

It was bad. Really really bad. The whole meeting there was just so awkward that it made me cringe. Bre probably doesn't assume those things though, because she continues to play nice with us and pushes herself towards Hogan.

We take a seat in the theater as Bre settles herself next to Hogan and Collier on my side, leaving both me and Hogan in the middle. How this became a double date while they're in two different seats still doesn't make sense to me. They're up to something, and I couldn't help but be annoyed, knowing how much fun they're having with what they're doing.

"Hey, are you fine?" Hogan asks, holding my hands.

My heart is pounding restlessly in my chest from how uncomfortable I'm feeling, though I don't really want to make Hogan worry, so I just smile at him while hiding my true feelings. Bre may be a bitch sometimes, but it still doesn't mean that I have to ruin her attempts to be close to Hogan again. I know how much it broke him, how they ended things badly and how much he wanted nothing more but to be on good terms with her. Maybe this could be it. Maybe this could be the chance they've been waiting for to mend their relationship again with one another.

My heart lightens from the thought of that happening, and I can't help but smile more when I look at them having a conversation with one another.

The trailers start to play on the big screen, and excitement bursts from inside the room. It didn't take long before the movie finally began. My gaze once again drops to Hogan to look at him, but when I do, his attention is completely focused on Bre's talking. My heart slightly broke from not having to enjoy this with him, yet I didn't make too much of a deal about it and just turned my head back to the movie playing in front of me. Their conversation is not really heard from the loudness of the theater, and besides, I wasn't planning on eavesdropping anyway.
