Yet another warm August evening and I've actually got plans. Feigned nonchalance combined with genuine indifference should make for an unmemorable evening. What I like about him, though, is that he doesn't seem to mind. E.J.'s his name. What kind of a name is that, anyway? I want to call him Ed like everyone else does, but he warms to his initials being used.
I switch horses on the guy, changing venues from a walk around the lake to a movie at my place. I doubt E.J.'ll have any qualms about this. Trying to get him to pick up the movie before he comes over proves to be moot because he doesn't know the area, nor does he have a membership at Blockbuster.
I stay on the phone with him to navigate. This nervous twenty-three year old manages to miss the turn anyway, which forces him to drive around the entirety of the lake. It might be my fault for not giving him directions to turn until he passed the house but I'll never admit it. Why should I?
He smells great. We're flying down the road in my car, making fifteen mile an hour stops at those pesky signs. I wonder if he thinks that I normally drive this erratically. Upon our arrival to the store, it doesn't take long for me to pick something out. "Brick" sounds interesting. He'll agree with that I pick out anyway. I smack him thrice for his sarcastic remarks. Not because they bother me, but because physical contact is good.
A quick tour of my place is given before announcing that I'm not going to be wearing the clothes I have on. Much to my relief, E.J. promptly turns and says that he'll be out waiting in the living room. At least he's not a perverted psychopath! I leave the mace in my drawer after changing into my super-comfy Superman pajamas. Next to no effort but I know he'll think I'm cute. Guys are so easy!
"Brick" turns out to be a bomb. He keeps harassing me about my poor selection but I remind him that he'd agreed with me on it. I knew I asked him for a reason! Thirty minutes into it, E.J. has had enough and puts in one of my only non-chick flicks, "Wedding Crashers."
After the movie, we exchange verbal jabs for awhile as he drawers nearer to me. The next thing I know, we're spooning. It feels nice and I'm cool with it so long as he doesn't try to do anything else. After all, we've only known each other a few days. Moments later, he takes out my ponytail and runs his hands through my hair. Even if I thought it was wrong, I wouldn't have halted him.
I invite him to sleep in my bed, but not before I warn him about getting fresh. E.J. regrettably declines and returns to the couch. Better safe than sorry, I guess. Think I'll give him a call tomorrow.

ADD was such a hit, why not create a way to label shorter posts for those who might SEEK that sort of thing out? Those who might be bored of otherwise fluffy and longer posts?
Just because one girl shakes her chest to get her way doesn't mean we should all comply blindly.
=========
agreed, why not mark any short story ADD...or Short or some shite to indicate that it isn't going to make your eyes bleed.

Jesus. ADD was such a hit, why not create a way to label shorter posts for those who might SEEK that sort of thing out? Those who might be bored of otherwise fluffy and longer posts?

Just sayin.

Rules? I thought the idea now was that ALL short fiction was to be marked with ADD? I forgot to on my "Gum" post but I actually thought that was a good idea.

I read the rules but I just didn't want to follow -all- of them. I probably could've picked out a title or something from the list that would've fit, but naaaaaaah! It was enough of a challenge to keep it at 500 words or lower and even more complicated to write from the perspective of someone else. I guess I could've just taken out the "A.D.D." part of the title but that was the motivation for limiting the word count.

Although I would question your choice in movies.
