✔︎Chocolate Ice Cream || Dustin Henderson

Chapter 9

Will

I got all the boys on board with plan. It was movie night today at Mike's, and it was my turn to pick the movie. Molly is terrified of scary movies, and me being the great friend that I am, is going to make her watch one.

If we strategically place ourselves on the couch, we can get Dustin to sit next to Molly. As previously mentioned, Molly doesn't like scary movies, and when she gets scared, she hugs something, and if she's next to Dustin, she'll end up hugging him. It was fool proof, if we make sure that Molly sits next to Dustin.

~Time Skip~

Mike, and I waited for our friends to arrive, we told Lucas to be there early, so the plan will work. Just as Mike was about to radio again, we heard a knock at the door. It was Lucas.

He came in and sat on the couch, leaving only space for Dustin and Molly. Hopefully this will help them realize they like each other.

A few minutes later we hear a knock at the door, and Molly walks down the stairs. She was wearing one of Dustin's old sweaters, with some ripped black jeans, and her hair was pulled back into a ponytail. She waved.

"Hey guys! What movie are we watching today?" she asked excitedly.

"A Nightmare on Elm Street," Lucas said nonchalantly. Molly's face went pale.

"Well shoot," she exclaimed, sitting down exactly where we wanted her to. Soon we saw Dustin walk downstairs.

"Hey, sorry I'm late. I brought food though," he said dumping his food on the coffee table.

"It's okay. You can sit next to Molly," Mike said grinning evilly at Dustin. Molly didn't notice as she was too busy eating the pez that Dustin had brought. This was going to be perfect.

Molly

I told myself that I wouldn't end up screaming during the movie, and I didn't because I hid my face in Dustin's chest the whole time.

Every time something would happen I would whimper, grip Dustin's arm, and hide my face in the crook of his neck. He didn't complain, in fact, he was laughing at me most of the time. I however didn't find this funny. I kept embarrassing myself simply because I can't watch a horror film. It was Will's fault that I kept doing this. He knew exactly what he was doing, and even made kissy faces at me when I actually wasn't hiding.

Dustin was really comforting as well. Sometimes he would wrap his arm around me, he was warm, and he smelled like chocolate and Christmas. I wish I could stay in his arms forever.

Dustin

I'm mad at my friends right now. They keep teasing Molly about the fact that she's clinging to me like a life preserver. It's their fault that we're watching a horror movie. Granted I didn't mind the fact that Molly was basically glued to my side.

Heck I loved how she would whimper, and hide her face in the crook of my neck whenever something scared her. I could feel her shaky breathing on my skin, and I loved how I could feel her body relax when I rubbed her back. She would grip my arm like if she let go the monster on the screen would take her away. She was just so adorable.

"Dusty," Molly whimpered softly as she gripped my arm harder, and snuggled closer to me.

I blushed while the boys smiled like they wanted it to happen. I wrapped my arm around her, and pulled her closer to me. She sighed, and smiled contently, until something else scared her and she whimpered once more.
