9. Stars

The theatre wasn't too full, maybe a few people spread out.

I whispered in his ear as we walked up the steps. "You pick where we sit."

Harry nodded, picking a seat in the middle of the theatre.

"Good choice." I said in a hushed tone.

We settled into our seats, giggling under our breath at a few funny previews.

He grabbed a piece of popcorn, chewing it happily.

"Thank you for buying my popcorn, Harry." I whispered in his ear.

He shook his head, looking over at me with glistening eyes. "Anytime."

I decided to shift the popcorn to one side of my thigh so I could get a better reach of his hand.

I intertwined our fingers, running my thumb along his weathered skin.

"Your hands are so big." I giggled.

"No." He squeezed mine. "Yours are just so little."

"Oh give me a break, I'm big." I said a little louder than I should have.

"Shh!!" Someone shushed me from behind.

"Oops." Harry looked over all embarrassed. "Sorry."

"Why did you apologize?" I whispered to him. "I was the loud one."

Harry shrugged his shoulders. "I'm not sure.."

"You're too nice." I leaned my head back, meeting his gaze. "Stop being so perfect."

Harry scoffed. "Impossible."

As the movie progressed, I couldn't help but look over at Harry throughout the entire movie.

He looked so excited.
