So after they bought tickets and got snacks, a Sprite for Stacie and some Skittles, a Diet Coke and small popcorn for Isaac and a medium Diet Coke and bag of plain M&M's which Taylor and Erica insisted on sharing, they went to find seats. Erica managed to talk Taylor into finding four seats together because she would feel bad if she left Stacie only with Ike who she didn't know. They moved into the row, Erica first and then Taylor, Stacie and Isaac. As soon as the lights went down Taylor opened the bag of M&M's and pulled one out. He put his other arm around Erica and started to whisper in her ear.
"Open your mouth" he instructed.
She opened her mouth and he gently placed the M&M on her tounge. She did the same to him. Isaac saw this and tried to look really interested in the previews. He was afraid he would end up vomiting on the fat lady with the little red hat in front of him. He silently laughed to himself as a newspaper headline flashed through his mind:
Today, Isaac Hanson vomited in a movie theater on a fat lady in a little red hat. When we came to question Isaac about his digestive problems he replied,"I just don't know. My little brother Taylor was just making out with his girlfriend and I'm pretty sure that would make anyone vomit." That's all from Isaac Hanson. Last we heard Isaac has yet to conquer his stomach problems and has now taken to vomiting on fans...
Stacie leaned towards Isaac,"If they don't cut it out I'm going to puke." she whispered to him.
"I was just thinking the same thing." he whispered back. She smiled at him. He smiled back, a forced, nervous smile.
Maybe I should just hold her hand...what if she pulls away though? God wouldn't I feel stupid. What if my hands are sweaty? Isaac rubbed his hand along his pant leg, okay that's one less thing to worry about. Now I should do it. Why not I mean I'm not ugly or anything...but if she wasn't so beautiful then I wouldn't have anything to worry about. Wait if she was a dog I wouldn't even want to hold her hand and then I would have more problems than sweaty hands I would have a problem with being on a date with a woofer.
The lights went down even lower as the movie started. Taylor started to run his hand through Erica's hair. She rested her head on his shoulder after giving him a soft kiss on the cheek.
This is ridiculous Isaac thought to himself I'm acting stupid I'm just going to reach out and grab her hand. Yeah just reach out and do it...just do it...just reach over and grab her hand... Isaac gingerley reached his hand out and intertwined his fingers with Stacie's. She gave him a small smile and shifted closer to him in her seat.Score!!! Ike thought.
Taylor slid his arm across Erica's stomach and then started to pull it back figuring it wasn't the right time. Not here not now. He really didn't feel like going at it with people all around him in a movie theater.
Erica felt Taylor's arm slid across her stomach and pull away suddenley. At first she was confused but she realized that he was probably right in pulling his hand away. That didn't mean she wasn't disappointed about it though. Trying to make the most of what they could do in a darkened movie theater she picked up her head and softly kissed Taylor on the lips.
All of a sudden Stacie pulled her hand out of Isaac's. "Isaac." she whispered.
"Uh-huh?"
"I have to go to the bathroom."
"Oh," Isaac said relieved that she had pulled away for a call of nature rather from palm sweat,"Okay."
"I'm going to take Erica with me." she told him.
"If you can untangle her from Tay." he said sarcastically
Stacie tapped Taylor on the shoulder. He turned to look at her.
"Do you mind if I borrow Erica for a few seconds?" she asked him.
Erica sat up and pushed Taylor's hand, which had once again found it's way to her stomach, away,"What's wrong Stacie?" she asked.
"I have to go...you know." she said a little embarassed by all the comotion she was causing.
Erica turned to Tay, "I'll be right back."
"Can't I come?" he asked with a devilish grin.
"No Mr. Pervert you can't" she said, "and just to keep you in suspense..."
She leaned down, and kissed him. She gently slid her tounge into his mouth and when he responded...she pulled away.
"Hurry back" he said patting her bottom as she walked by.
"So Stacie...what do you think of Isaac?" Erica asked.
"Well..." she heard the toilet flush, "he is pretty hot and really sweet. I mean he hasn't tried to take advantage of me all he has done is hold my hand so far...pretty nice guy."
"So maybe...we would end up doing this again?" Erica asked hopefully.
"Maybe" Stacie said sliding her a quick smile while she washed her hands.
"What do you mean maybe?" Erica's face fell, "You just said he was a nice guy."
"Well yeah but...the night's not over yet is it?"
"I guess not." Erica mumbled and followed Stacie out of the bathroom.
Isaac Erica thought you better behave yourself
Once Stacie and Erica were out of sight Taylor jumped over by Isaac.
"Hey Ike!"
"What?"
"So...are you two getting it on?"
"WHAT?!?" Isaac yelled
Half the theater looked at them, "Shhhh..."
"Sorry" Isaac said. His face turned beet red and he slumped down in his seat.
Taylor snickered, "No action huh?" Taylor asked again
"No"
"Why not?"
"Because I am a gentleman...unlike you!"
Taylor looked shocked, "What? I'm a gentleman."
"Oh please Taylor. You know maybe the girl can breath on her own without you giving her mouth to mouth recessitation all the time." Isaac joked.
"Oh please it's all her. Yup. Can't keep her hands off me. Girls are funny that way."
On their way back to the theater someone called out Erica's name.
"Yo Erica!"
She turned around and saw three people coming towards her.
"Hey guys! What are you doing here?"
Two boys, Justin and Jared, and one girl, Karen, stopped in front of her.
"Hmmm...let's see..."Justin said, "We're inside of a movie theater...what could we be doing? Oh that's right,"he said slapping his forehead, "We're buying chickens I forgot."
"What no hug?" Jared asked.
"Sorry," she said. She gave them all a hug, "Oh this is my cousin Stacie."
They all exchanged hello's and handshakes.
"Who else are you here with?" Karen asked.
"My boyfriend."
"Ooh," Justin and Jared said in unision and then started dancing around her, "Erica's got a boyfriend, Erica's got a boyfriend, Erica's got a boy..."
"Taylor?" Karen asked.
"Ooh Taylor," Justin said, "what a name!"
"It's better than Justin." Erica snapped
"I'm hurt...really hurt." he pretended to look crushed.
"Anyway," Erica said rolling her eyes at Justin, "what movie are you guys seeing?"
"This one." Karen said pointing to the door.
"Us too!" Erica exclaimed.
"We kind of missed the beginning, what happened?" Karen asked.
"She wouldn't know," Stacie said,"her eyes and lips have been all over the place."
Erica turned bright red.
"Look guys."Erica said,"I got to get back, or actually, we got to get back, but meet us here after the movie. I'll introduce you to Tay."
They all agreed.And thus their fate was sealed.
