James and Noelle: Movie Night.
James couldn’t help but smile a wide smile when she commented on liking to prove him wrong. “And I wouldn’t have that any other way. In a weird way it’s nice to be shown I am wrong.” He handed her a cola and grinned. “Good choice. I myself am a cola person.” James sat down on the couch and gestured for her to sit next to him. “Now, Connery seems a bit..rough but I assure you he is excellent! And yes. There are tons of movies but that’s because Bond is a classic!” He put in his favorite movie. “This one is my favorite.” He let out a slightly embarrassed laugh. “I’m such a nerd about this. I don’t think I’ve ever shared this with anyone that wasn’t related to me.” He put in Dr. No. “Now, I know loving Dr. No is cliche in a way but it’s...just an excellent movie.” James started the movie and as it started he got into it. “Now, Connery is young in this film but his acting has gotten refined over his career. That’s why he is my favorite actor. Period.” James looked at Noelle and smiled again. He had never noticed how pretty Noelle was and suddenly felt super nervous. She was cool and he liked talking to her but he never let himself see it since she was a few years younger. He was 18 and she was 15. That was wrong. Wasn’t it? He coughed and looked back at the movie. This was confusing. He finished is cola and grabbed two more. Placing the other in front of Noelle. After Dr. No was over and he awkwardly looked back and forth periodically between the movie and her he got up. “Did you want to watch something else? I mean, James Bond isn’t for everyone and I am just happy you saw the first.” Why was it so hard? If she was just ONE year older, he wouldn’t feel so bad. He went to grab the stack of movies and as he did somehow he ended up a few inches from her face. He just stared into her intense eyes for a minute before licking his lips and moving away. “Why don’t we make it ladies choice now? What’s your favorite movie? I’d like to see it. Maybe we can rent it...?” James ran his hand through his hair awkwardly. Had he not come to his senses he would have kissed her then and there.Â
