The credits rolled over the screen. People were getting up to leave the place. Bette and I seemed to be frozen in our seats. The kiss had been magical, but neither of us seemed to know what to do now. Eventually, Bette got up, looked at me and smiled. I felt a rush going through every part of my body, even through the parts I didn’t know existed. I smiled back at her, got up as well and she took my hand. We walked out together.

We went through the cinema both dazed. We walked their, hand in hand, barely any space in between us. If people were watching, we didn’t notice. 

The temperature outside was nice. We walked to Bette’s car, she opened my door and I got in. A few seconds later, she sat down behind the wheel and took a deep breath. She lied her hands down on the wheel and turned to look at me. She cleared her troat. “So, did you have a good time?”

I smiled and nodded. “I had the best time, Bette. I’ve never had this much fun on a date.”

Bette smirked. “Did that happen to have anything to do with our little popcorn-incident?”

I blushed and chastised myself for doing so. “Maybe, maybe not.”

All kinds of emotions were going through me at that moment. I already knew that I liked Bette a lot from the first day I met her. She had been giving me these looks from the first day. I had noticed her jealousy whenever Eric talked to me and tried to impress me, whenever he was hanging around me in such a way that it was nearly impossible for anyone else to spend time with me. Still, I couldn’t say that I loved her and I knew she didn’t expect me to, it was way too early for that. Yes, we knew each other and had done so for quite some time, but we didn’t know what it was like to be together as a couple.

The ride home was filled with nervous banter and chit chat. She stopped in front of my house way too early – I would have given anything to spend more time with her, to spend forever in her presence from that moment on. I wouldn’t have minded to be attached to her hip, something I had never felt before. I must admit that it scared me a little, but not enough to keep away from her. Nothing could do that.
