I Wasn’t Scared! | Christopher Vélez
Hola mis papas fritas! Happy Halloween! 🎃 I decided to put something together last minute for y’all and I hope you enjoy it! I hope you guys are staying safe!
“Enough soda and caffeine products to keep us up well past midnight?”
“Jumbo King size chocolate bars?”
“A family size package of mixed candies?”
“Great, I think we have enough food to feed a small town.” Chris joked. “Did I miss anything?”
“Besides turning off the lights, I think we pretty much have everything.” I smiled as he walked over to the light switch before taking a quick glance outside the window. “The weather looks pretty bad.”
“Does it really?” I asked him as he nodded. “Mhmm.. let’s just hope it clears up.” He walked over to the couch and sat down, grabbing our fluffiest blanket and draping it over himself. He made an opening for me so I could crawl in next to him as he patted the seat with his hand.
“Ven aquí, mi amor.” I smiled and made my way towards him, quickly wishing to be engulfed into his arms. He placed his arm around my shoulders and my hand instinctively reached up to grab his own, intertwining our fingers together. He leaned down and kissed my forehead before turning his attention back to the TV. “What should we watch first?”
Insidious… Paranormal Activity… Creature from the Black Lagoon… Dawn of the Dead… The Wolf Man… The Texas Chainsaw Masacere… Halloween…
“There’s so many to pick from… hmm, how about we just - ”
My body jolted as I heard the thunder from outside and brought the blanket up to my nose, covering myself as a small child would when they’re scared. I felt his body rumble with laughter as he brought me closer to him, looking down at me.
“Easy, mi amor, it’s just thunder.” I felt my face get hot with embarrassment as he moved a strand of hair away from my face. “I’m here.” I could hear the pitter patter of rain outside as he continued talking.
“I won’t let anything get you. I will protect you, mi reina. Your big, strong man will - ”
“Ay! Puta madre!” He exclaimed and covered his face with his hand. I let out a laugh as he chuckled alongside me. “Aww, mi amor, were you scared?”
“Scared? Pfft, no. No, I was.. I’m not scared. I was.. imitating you.”
“Oh, really?” I raised an eyebrow at him and smiled. “Yeah, you jumped and brought the blanket up to your face so I had to show you. Yeah.. that’s exactly what happened.”
“Don’t worry, baby, I’ll protect you.” I cuddled closer to him. “It’s just thunder, it won’t hurt you.”
“You were the one who jumped first!”
“Yeah but I wasn’t scared. I was just.. surprised, that’s all. You on the other hand are still shaking.”
“What do you mean “no”? You totally are! Look!” I chuckled and shook my head, bringing his arm up to both of our faces. “See? Oh… I’m the one shaking..” He mumbled as he looked at his hand.
“Mi amor, we’ve been over this. It was a big clap of thunder and it surprised me!”
“Oh, yeah, definitely.” I teased and he shook his head. “Alright alright! Let’s just choose what we wanna watch.”
“No no no no no, I’m not letting this go just yet. I’m having way too much fun.”
“Okay, if I admit I got scared, will you stop teasing me?” He turned to look at me, a sheepish smile on his face. “Maybe.”
“Maybe? What do you mean maybe?”
“Oh c’mon! You were trying to act all tough and be my “strong man” and you got frightened by the thunder as well!”
“I think the only frightened one here is you. I mean, especially since that new study showed that thunderstorms make the perfect cover for.. creepy axe murderers.” He turned his head back towards the TV screen as if what he said was no big deal. “What?” I asked him.
“What?” He looked down at me. “Are you pulling my leg? Are you being serious right now?” I asked him and he nodded. “Oh, yes. Didn’t you read it?” I shook my head as he continued on. “Yeah, apparently, they wait for the sound of the thunder to cover the sound of them breaking into houses.”
I felt the small hairs on the back of my neck raise a little as I listened to his story. “And these creepy axe murders only have one motive… ” He leaned in closer to me as I slowly slid back. He trailed his fingertips down my arm. “Only one thing in mind…” His voice became lower and lower as he kept talking.
“They come in and love to prey upon… ”
“Chris.. what are you - ”
“The ticklish! Muahaha!” He reached down and started tickling my stomach, laughter erupted from both of our ends. “Ch - Chris! S - S - Sto - op!” I kicked and swatted my arms around, trying to push him away from me. He held me close to him as he continued for a few moments before he ceased his tickling.
I caught my breath and quickly switched the roles, straddling his lap as my hands reached his tickle spots. “No no no! Th - The study specifically said.. haha! It doesn’t count if the boyfriends are ticklish t - too!” He laughed and quickly grabbed a hold of my arms, stopping me from tickling him any further. “I haha.. oh my.. argh! Okay! Let’s call a truce! We gotta get through this night, don’t we?” He smiled up at me.
He reached up and moved my hair away from my face. “Okay… maybe I was a little scared, but I’m not anymore.” He placed his hands on my waist as I placed mine on his chest. “I did mean it when I said I would protect you. I wanna keep you safe and I want you to feel that you’re scared, you can come to me.” I smiled down at him and placed a kiss on his lips.
“I won’t judge… even when you jump at thunder.” He laughed as I playful hit him. “Shut up.”
“Ay, even if you mock me for it. That was a bit rude haha!” He looked into my eyes and softly smiled at me. “I promised nothing can hurt you, so long as I’m here.” I leaned down to place my lips onto his while playing with his hair. We pulled away as he ran small circles on my hips.
“So… which movie is first? Or are you too chicken and now prefer to watch a cartoon?”
