Chapter 1074
Marcus dropped some serious dough on a big house in Lakeview Estates. It didnât get a dedicated movie room like the Blueshell Mansion or Celestial Chateau, but he still splurged on some topânotch projection gear.
At his joint, they got a movie experience that was a cut above the rest, way better than the runâofâthe-mill home projectors.
Marcus said, âI donât wanna watch a fick at home, I wanna hit the theater with you!
Comelia responded, âItâs almost eleven, and weâve got work tomorrow. Letâs catch a movie tomorrow night. You rest up tonightâ
Marcus gently patted her head, âTonight, we stick to the planâ
Time wasnât on his side, it was their first cinema date, and might be their last too.
Comelia didnât quite get why Marcus was so hellâbent, but if he wanted it, she would accompany him.
The nearest cinema was just outside their residential area, it was walking distance.
Hand in hand, they strolled to the cinema. Cornelia had never hit the cinema alone with a guy before, so she was kinda excited. âLetâs see whatâs playingâ
Summer blockbusters were in full swing, plenty of flicks to choose from. A româcom would be a safe pick for a date night, but the one available had crap reviews.
In the end, Cornelia went for a war movie, âWhatcha think about this one?â
Marcus said, âItâs a solid flick â
Cornelia said, âIâll grab the tickets. Front row or back row, whatâs your poison?â
Marcus answered, âIâm treating you to the movies, Iâll get the tickets. How âbout the last row?â
Cornelia said, âSounds good.â
Marcus not only grabbed the tickets, but also went for Coke and popcorn.
Comelia stopped him, âI just wolfed down a ton of buffalo wings. Iâm stuffed.â
Marcus said, âWe donât necessarily have to eat âem. Itâs just what girls usually get, you should have them too.â
Cornelia quipped, âOther girls have a young boyfriend, should I have one too?â
Before, if Cornelia made a joke like that, heâd huffily tell her that he was the only man in her life.
But today, after a momentâs contemplation, Marcus seriously told her, âYou can check out other guys; if you fancy someone, let me know.â
Comelia stared at him in disbelief, âAre you the same Jeremy I know?â
Marcus was never the romantic type, but today he not only asked her out, but also said some scary stuff. Cornelia couldnât help but question if this was really the Marcus she knew
Marcus took her hand, âYou can joke with me, canât I joke with you?â
Cornelia clutched her chest. âYou scared the bejeezus out of me.â
Marcus wasnât the type to joke before, so his sudden joke really rattled her.
Marcus wrapped his arms around her, âThe movieâs about to start. Letâs get our tickets checked.â
Cornelia took the popcorn while Marcus handled the tickets.
They were both stunning, the ticket checker blushed upon seeing them.
As Cornelia and Marcus walked off, they heard whispers, âDid you see those two? Si goodâlooking and classy! Are they some lesserâknown celebs? If so, I bet theyâll be hot stuff soon.â
