*Krystal's POV*
Ash and I were sat comfortably in the blue fold down seats we were allocated. When he paid for our tickets he let me choose where to sit, I chose to sit in the back row, on the left hand side. Being the first ones to enter screen 3, we got to muck about and be as loud as we liked. We recited the alphabet aloud until we reached row L, and then did the same again with the seat numbers. It was like being kiddies again back in primary school! We settled into our seats and no more than a minute later, his arm was around me, and my head was resting on his shoulder. He had his feet up on the chair in front of us, his legs crossed over with his boots in the air.

"You better put those cowboy tootsies down when the movie starts, I can't see past your big feet." I jested.

"You know you love them." He teased. "Y'know what they say about men with big feet!"

"Yeah I do! That you’ve got big shoes. And Y'know what that means?" I mimicked him. "Means I can't see past them, so you gotta move em in a bit."

"Fine." Ash playfully sulked, so I pandered to him. I gave him a quick kiss on the cheek and stole his hat. "Hey, looking sexy, Cowgirl." He lifted my chin with his finger and planted a soft kiss on my lips. He broke the kiss but kept his face right near mine, lips still brushing. "Of course, not as sexy as me." He quickly kissed me again and I smiled beneath the kiss. He felt my lips curl up, and it made him smile too. I pulled away and looked at him with a look of sarcasm.

"Jeez, thanks."

"You know I'm joking. You're perfect!"

"Pfft! Thanks, but I'm-"

"But nothing. You're beautiful, in every single way, okay?" I mumbled. "Okay?" He asked again.

"Okay..."

"Good girl." He beamed. "My Cowgirl" he whispered as he rested his head on top of mine."

"My Cowboy." I whispered back, squeezing his hand.

"Hey I kinda like that." He kept his voice in hushed tones, being really soft spoken and sweet. "You're my Cowgirl and I'm your Cowboy."

"Me too." I'm pretty sure I was blushing a little. I was his cowgirl, I was property of Purdy. I let my grip go on Ash's hand and rested it on his lap instead.

"Hey, where are you trying to get to?" He winked at me. "Could you not wait till we were alone at home?"

"What? I wasn't... Did I? Did I touch it?" I suddenly got very paranoid. I hadn't meant to.

"No you didn't darl', I was just playing." He chuckled. "Aww, you've gone really red, I'm sorry I didn't mean to embarrass you or anything, I was just being playful."

"Yeah, I know. Sorry, I'm just a little nervous is all..."

"Nervous about what? Touching me?"

"Well, yeah. All of it. Y'know the sexual stuff?" I was feeling very vulnerable.

"Why are you nervous?"

"Well you've been with a lot of girls. Like, a lot... And I've been with one person. And then with what happened at Whisky... I just don't have much experience, and I don't think I'm ready yet. I'm scared."

"Of what?"

"You." The butterflies in my stomach were doing somersaults. "Well not you, I know you won't hurt me, but I'm just scared that you'll want to do it quicker than I'm ready. You're used to people meeting you in the afternoon and fucking you that night. I'm not like that, that’s all. I'm scared that I'm not right for you."

"Hey, look at me. You mean a lot to me. Okay? I know we haven't known each other all that long, but we know enough. And I know that I love you, Krystal. I love you with all my heart. Not once have I ever felt this with anyone else, it's a first for me too, I'm going to be very honest here, I'm scared too. I'm scared of losing this. Of losing you. I won't push it. I don't want to sleep with you... Well... I do; but I'm not feeling like I want to 'fuck you' as you put it, and leave you. I want to sleep with you, of course, but I want to because I love you. Not because you have a pair of tits and lady parts. You are everything to me. They were nothing. I was just so caught up in a flurry of women that were willing to throw themselves at me that I didn't step back and really decide to try and find a true relationship. To find love." He paused. "I guess it worked out though. If I hadn't been the way I was, then I may have found a different person, and let’s face it, I would be miserable because I am meant to be with you, Krystal. I can't imagine my life without you in it now. The past couple of months have changed my life, a life I now want to spend with you." He smiled at me and I smiled back, happy tears threatening to fall. "I love you." He whispered as he brushed my fringe out of my eyes.

"I love you too."

My heart was throbbing in my chest, and I had a tight feeling in my stomach. He had reduced me to a soppy mess. I stayed in his embrace and we just sat in what seemed like silence, waiting for the movie to start. There was a slight background noise of god awful ‘elevator music’ as CC would call it. I could hear Ashley’s heartbeat. It was comforting. I closed my eyes, and I don’t know how long I closed them for before I hear two familiar voices. One giggling woman, and a very loud over the top man.

“Fuck it! Here will do! Plonk yourself down there Sleeping Beauty, I will go get you a drink.”

I nudged Ash who looked like he had fallen asleep, and quietly told him Abi and CC were here too. We agreed that we wouldn’t bug them and tell them that we are here too, Ash and I kinda wanted some alone time. It was a good job we were sitting at the back, the little spotlights that help you see when you’re walking up the stairs had stopped and we were in almost pitch black darkness, so it was easy to go unnoticed.

Not much longer, CC returned, drink in hand.

“Here you go!” CC slid a mega sized Coca Cola with two straws into the cup holder thing.

“Thank you, twinkle toes!”

“Don’t you twinkle toes me Missy!” CC tickled Abi and she sunk down into her seat trying to retreat.

“Ah no! CC! Sttoooopppppp!”

*CC’s POV*

We talked about what movie we wanted to see and Abi suggested a rom com movie that Krystal and she had seen an advert for on TV, so I said yeah. I don’t mind watching a rom com if I get to watch it with Abi. Corny, yeah, maybe. But hey, she knows I like her now… I did the right thing though, I told her that I didn’t want to do anything about it. I don’t want to drive her away, y’know? Pretty sure it would freak her out if I made a move or asked her out.
We had a right laugh before the movie came on. We pissed about, and I won the tickling war hands down. She gave in and tapped out, the wimp. Once they started we were mimicking and taking the mick out of the adverts. It was ridiculous, what has a half undressed lady walking through snowy mountains got to do with Coffee granules? Nothing, that’s what. We discussed how stupid each advert was, and decided that people should be fired for coming up with these stupid ass ideas. We should run the advertising industry. It would be simple to the point and on topic!
