Lana had an unexplainable expression all over her face because she had mixed emotions.

“Choose a movie first and leave all these baseless talks.” Liam instructed with a serious face.

‘Is he for real? Why is he always challenging me?’ Lana inwardly complained. If she retracted her hand at that moment, would it mean that she was feeling something?

‘And what the heck would she feel? Heart fluttering! From where is Liam enriching his vocabulary nowadays?’ Lana’s hypocrisy was on active mode again, and she was well aware of it.

Lana helplessly looked at the screen to look for movies instead of creating a scene and debating with him. Her hand was warm, and she did not mind holding his hand either like that.

She smiled as her eyebrows raised. She heard men hated horror movies, so she replied, “Let’s watch that one.”

Liam’s facial muscle flinched, followed by a gulp while staring at the screen Lana was pointing. It was a horror film. How he hated those kinds of films.

Seeing Liam’s expressions, Lana smirked triumphantly.

“Don’t tell me you’re scared of watching that? I heard that movie is the scariest of all. You see, I like those kinds of movies. I love horror the most.” Lana casually commented.

Lana then pulled Liam to buy the tickets and snacks. Liam tried to compose himself and said, “Are you sure about it? I mean, there are a lot of other movies to choose from.”

“Yeah and you let me choose so I picked what I really wanted to watch. I don’t like romance movies, so it’s better not to watch if your faint heart could not take the horror movie.” Lana beamed.

“Nah. I’m Liam Sy… Horror movies are nothing. What do you take me for?” Liam boastfully commented and pulled Lana to the ticket booth and snack booths.

“By the way, do you still feel sick if you’re in a close space without someone being with you?” Liam asked as they walked inside the cinema.

“I’m not sure since I haven’t been in a close space alone since I’ve been cured.” Lana answered. She never tried to check since it scared her that her nightmare would come back, so she avoided being in a situation like that.

“You can now let go of my hand,” Lana mumbled because Liam still held her hand.

Lana felt Liam’s hand gently squeezed hers while they sat in their seats.

“Why? The movie is about to begin. You might need my hand in this genre of movie or my arm. I won’t mind,” Liam whispered in her ear with a serious tone.

Inside the cinema, Lana gasped some air because of Liam’s shamelessness.

“Aren’t you taking advantage of me?” Lana snorted. She frowned when she heard no response from Liam, so she turned her head to look at him.

Her lips parted as she stared at Liam. “Are you alright?” she asked because Liam was spacing out.

Liam nodded and murmured in a serious note, “I don’t like horror movies. It’s scary.”

“Huh? Then why were you acting so brave a while ago? You should have said that earlier.” Lana scolded. Liam looked at her and said, “It’s okay. I wanted to try to watch this since they said the movie is good. Lana, let me borrow your hand and arm for a while, please.”

‘Borrow his hand and arm, huh? Whose borrowing now?!’ she wanted to hiss but rolled her eyes instead, wondering if Liam was only playing a trick on her? But his voice sounded genuine, so she let him be and sighed.

The movie was about to start and the intro itself was making the audience scream already. Lana felt Liam move closer to her, and he was now hugging her arm.

“I can’t believe that a man like you could be scared that easily.” Lana scoffed with a twitched mouth. It felt so weird… A grown up man hugging her arm because he was afraid of a horror movie.

“It’s scary…. Ghosts are scary…” Liam answered. He did not like watching creepy horror films like that because it gave him goosebumps.

Yes, it was scary, but he was not scared. It was a good justification though to get close to Lana. He was so close to her. He could smell her scent and feel her warmth that felt so nice.

Lana was actually right in accusing him. He was indeed taking advantage of her, but Keira seemed right when she told him to act a little shameless, since Lana was not abruptly pushing him away from her. He felt so happy at the thought of Lana slowly getting used to his touch.

“The living humans could hurt and even kill you, Liam, not the ghosts… They are scarier… You should be scared of the living, not ghosts.” Lana remarked.

“I’m not scared of the living Lana, and I am capable enough to protect myself and my wife both from them…” Liam whispered in Lana’s ear. Everyone inside the cinema was feeling goosebumps because of the movie while Lana was getting the hairs of her skin up because of Liam’s lips that almost touched her ear.

She abruptly moved her head and paused because her lips touched Liam’s face. Their eyes met. Lana unconsciously bit her lip because of the awkward atmosphere.

They were not watching a romantic movie, so how come that scene was happening to her now? Was it a common cliche whenever you go out in a movie? Lana heard of it where couples often kissed or hugged while watching a movie.

‘Is this what they talk about? The momentum where you feel like kissing each other.’ Lana mused because she was feeling the urge to kiss Liam in that moment.

Before she could start a debate with her mind versus heart, she felt Liam’s lips pressing on hers. Her mind was declining, but her body was inclining and the electrifying sensations that ran through her body won the battle between her heart and mind even before it could start.

She subconsciously raised her hand and placed it on Liam’s neck for support while she answered his gentle kisses. She even pulled him for more when she felt him breaking the kiss that he started.

‘I’m doomed!’ Lana mocked herself inwardly before pulling herself back and breaking free from that intense kiss.
