What is Love?

Chapter 23 Date Night?

I was shocked, "What?"

He stared at me blankly,"What?"

I changed the subject pondering "What movie are we going to watch?"

"Oh wow I never thought of that! Gosh, Mia you are a step ahead. What do you wanna watch?"

"I don't know." I lied, I wanted to watch a comedy romance but I wasn't going to tell him that!

"Well there's Snow Globe or Snow Bride. Which do you prefer? "

Wow Christmas. "Aren't we feeling Christmasy?"

I saw him blush. "I guess you could say that."

I giggled, "It's up to you."

"Alright Snow Globe it is then." He popped it in and sat right next to me, our elbows almost touching.

I covered my mouth with my hand. "Um.. I don't think this is the movie." It was Sam as a five year old at Christmas, a home video.

He gasped and turned red. "Oh my let's pause this and find the actual movie."

"Fine by me, but um where's the remote?"

"No clue!" As he looked at me with embarrassment.

"Um.. let's shut the DVD player off and listen to music."

"Well if you say so....." He mumbled the last part as he stopped the DVD player.

"What was that?"

"What was what?"

"Oh never mind. Say I got to use the restroom. Where is it?"

"Upstairs. First door on the left."

"Thanks." And I ran upstairs.

...

I found it and locked myself inside and pulled out my phone.

I texted Logan.

Me: Hey if you still want to chat, meet me in my backyard. Sincerely, Mia

I breathed out deeply.

My phone rang.

Logan:  but it's raining.

Me: Come On, Logy Just do it!

Logan: UGH Fine......Um Mia, you wouldn't happen to be wanting to meet with me in your backyard to make Sam jealous would you?

Me: Nope why would you think that?

Logan: Oh just wondering because yesterday when he threw you on his back, you seemed pretty happy.

Me: Oh I was tired and I was glad didn't have to walk.

Logan" Whatever you say.

I stepped outside and I sat down on a lounge chair and Sam reached for his jacket but instead he patted me on the back.

"Um.. if you want your jacket just ask."

My phone rang. Logan was calling me.

"I got to take this." I got up and walked to the back door.

"Hello?"

"Hey Mia, I'm at your backyard but you seemed not to be home."

"Oh well I a...um..."

"When are you coming outside?"

I could tell Sam was listening because he pulled me into a big hug. I was in his arms.

"Oh give me minute."

As soon as I hung up Sam released and asked "What's wrong?"

"Oh Sam, I had fun today it's just I have to go now, see you soon."

He wrapped his hands around mine. "But your mother doesn't get home til 7.......It's 3."

I released my hands from his and said "Bye Sam."

He blinked and said "De sha voo"

"What?"

"Oh when we were talking at school before I moved here, you said that the exact same."

I stared into his eyes. Wow he remembered that long ago! I cleared my throat. "Is that a problem?"

"No no not at all it's..."

I cut him off. "It's what exactly?"

"Perfect" and he reached for my hands but I pulled away and ran outside.

"Mia, Can I just say that......."

He sized me up and down and then looked at m back yard and he stood staring at something.

I forgot what was in my backyard.

I entered my backyard not realizing Logan.

I felt something rip Sam's jacket off my back. I turned around 'Logan give me that back!"

"It's not yours." and he through it in the mud in front of Sam.

He grasped my hands and said "Look I lo..."

I cut him off. "You know what? "and I ran over to the teary eyed Sam and picked up his jacket.

"I'm with Sam now so just forget it Logan, remember we broke up."

I put my arm around Sam's shoulders and said "Let's go inside, I need a breather and beside my mom isn't back yet."

I could tell Logan was smirking. "So it was true! I should of known."
