Chapter 69: Date With Dacey - Part 3
Rob was having a hard time keeping still as he sat in the theatre.
In hindsight, Rob felt like kicking himself for not selecting a romantic movie or a horror movie. He knew he had fucked up after watching the first fifteen minutes of the movie that he had picked.
When they reached the theatre, he had seen Dacey eyeing a particular movie poster from time to time when they stood in the queue. Figuring that it was probably a safe bet, Rob bought the tickets for that movie.
With the movie being an action genre, and him being partial to action films, Rob hadn’t thought much about choosing it after seeing Dacey eyeing it. But, just fifteen minutes into the movie the amount of noise, the sheer stupidity, and the senseless comedy that the movie portrayed had already put him off.
If he had been alone, it wouldn’t have mattered much as he would simply tune out this stuff and only pay attention to the action bits and such when they came on. However, that was not an option at present as Dacey was sitting next to him currently.
He could hardly control himself at this point. Her smell was intoxicating in such close quarters and the inane movie was not doing any favors as well. In short, the movie was boring and the woman next to him was more interesting than he had thought of earlier.
To make matters worse, Dacey was completely into the movie. It was as if she didn’t even realize that he was with him. Her complete disregard for his presence made Rob doubt his charm big time.
Now, Rob was struck not knowing what to do next.
He obviously couldn’t strike up some conversation as Dacey was really into the movie. He felt like he would be disturbing her if he did that. If he was into the movie as much as she was, then it wouldn’t have been an issue.
With her intoxicating smell driving him wild with every passing moment, Rob had started fidgeting by the time it was twenty minutes into the movie. He almost leaned into her several times trying to smell more of her aroma but had to control himself at the last moment with some leftover sanity.
He knew that such an action might come off as a bit perverted on the first date. And he didn’t want to form a bad impression on her. He also knew that he needed to do something before this entire thing drove him crazy.
So, he tried to think of some boring stuff and waited for the movie to finish. However, Dacey’s smell and her proximity would once more tempt him back to the original track, making it harder for him to form any other thoughts than kissing her.
