On-Line to Real Life

Jem's eyes just blinked in confusion. She seemed to have gotten more nervous when he brought that up. Stupid, stupid, stupid! He covered his face with his hands and slowly moved them down. He sighed and just looked over to where Scarlett ran off to. The tension that stirred inside him lessened as he watched her. He loved the way she stood there patiently, how she shone so brightly. Is this love? He continued rocking himself on the swing while keeping his feet planted to the ground.
 
Scarlett hummed quietly as she waited for their ice cream. She turned and looked over her shoulder back at Jem. Her hazel eyes seemed to brighten as she looked at him. I wonder who that girl he likes...hmm I'll ask the agency





Scarlett thought to herself as she grabbed the ice cream after paying it and a man that was around Jem's age was right next to her. "Oh, um excuse me..." She said looking at the man with a slightly confused look. Scarlett bit her lip as the man wouldn't move. She somehow felt very awkward and didn't know what to do. She stole a glance at Jem that seemed to say 'come over here'
 
Jem witnessed a strange man approaching his Scarlett. Not my Scarlett just Scarlett. He stood up quickly and approached them. He hated that desperate plea Scarlett had to throw out at him. Jem flashed a model's smile at the man and said, "Oh I'm sorry did you need something? Perhaps a woman's opinion about your outfit? Well you don't need her. I can answer that question for you. It's not worth it." Jem hardened the last sentence, his eyes glared daggers at the man but Jem kept a playful smile on his face.


Jem placed his arm around Scarlett and took one of the ice creams from her hand and said to her,
"Thank you sweetheart." Jem glanced back at the man once again making sure he got the message.
 
Scarlett moved closer to him and the man simply crossed his arms as he walked away. She suddenly felt like a child and thanked Jem quietly as she ate her ice cream in silence trying to ignore the fact that she had been so, so childish and couldn't even make a man leave her alone. What was she four? No she was twenty one
 
Jem could see some sort of conflict in her eyes. He felt that he was the problem, so he decided to lighten the mood. "I can't believe he had the nerve to go up to such a beautiful lady and not take her hand like this," Jem lifted up her free hand, "And then not kiss it with such politeness like this." Then he kissed the top of her hand, also holding his half-eaten ice cream that seemed to be dripping onto the sidewalk. His eyes shone with much admiration as he looked up at her from his bent position stilling clinging onto her hand.
 
"J-Jem?" Scarlett asked as her face flushed red. She looked at her hand then his ice cream. "Y-your ice cream is melting" she said with a gentle smile. "So anywhere we should go?" Scarlett asked and bit her bottom lip as she moved a bit closer to Jem. Her hazel eyes sparked in interest as her light brown hair fell in front of her eyes slightly
 
He straightened his posture and brought his ice cream in front of him to see it all gone. "I guess I was standing too long in front of a hot gal that my ice cream couldn't handle it," Jem winked. His breath stopped as Scarlett closed the space between them. The rhythm of his heartbeat stammered as he gazed into her hazel eyes. "Up to the lady to decide," Jem wrapped his arms around her waist, throwing his ice cream into a nearby trashcan.
 
"My, my, what a gentleman..." Scarlett said and smiled at him. "Hm...let's see, what about the movies?" She asked after she threw away the rest of her ice cream. She gazed into his dark grey eyes as she felt his arms around her waist. Scarlett tilted her head a bit and looked up at him. Her bangs fell across her eyes and she felt her heart pounding in her chest. Jem certainly is different from those other guys...maybe this will be a really good relationship.


Scarlett thought as she bit her bottom lip once again her hazel graze locked on his grey one.
 
She becomes more beautiful as the seconds pass by.


He gazed back into her hazel eyes. "A movie sounds great," he smiled. "Any particular movie in mind? I don't care what genre it is. As long as I get to sit next to you," Jem asked as he moved his hand up and down her back.
 
"Well why don't we go see what's playing" Scarlett said while she smiled at him, she almost shivered when his hands run up and down her back. She noticed that it began to get a bit windy and she laughed. "Come on let's get out of this wind"
 
He nodded and led her towards the streets of New York. "Um. Do you know where the closest movie theater is at?" Jem asked with an embarrassed smile as he moved one of his hands behind his head rubbing the back of it out of nerve. Never had Jem felt so embarrassed, the last thing he wanted to seem in front of Scarlett was clueless, well now his fear was faced. His cheeks even gave a slight blush.
 
"Yeah right across the street. It's fine if you don't know where everything is. It's cute" Scarlett said slipping her hand into his as they crossed the street. Never had she ever felt so at ease with someone, not even her own parents. She walked closer to him as some girls winked at him. She was never the jealous type so this was a new side of Scarlett. Goodness can't girls tell he is taken? Obviously not.
 
He gave Scarlett a shy smile at her response. As they walked, Jeremiah didn't seem to notice the flirtatious girls walking past them for he was too enveloped in his thoughts of trying to keep the date perfect, or at least perfect for Scarlett. He enjoyed the warmth of Scarlett's hand in his. Jem allowed Scarlett to lead him this time since she was familiar with New York rather than him.
 
((Sorry I have to go to orientation! Wish me luck)) 
Scarlett smiled a bit as they walked into the theater. She looked at the walls since there were listings of what movies were playing and at what times. She kept holding his hand because she figured if she let go a swarm of girls would swallow him up. Hm...I wonder if he noticed those girls when we were walking. I mean I know I noticed them
 
Jem examined the posters with Scarlett. His attention wasn't fully on the date though, it was focused on how Scarlett was standing so close to him. Just a few hours ago I was imagining worse case scenarios, but never would I have imagined best case scenarios. But this, this is better than best. He then looked at Scarlett and asked, "So what are you in the mood for?"
 
((That's fine I understand. I'm already on week 2 of school and already had 3 tests and 4 quizzes.))
 
"Action?" Scarlett said, but laughed a bit since she couldn't decide. "I am horrible at these kinds of things, but shhh that's a secret" she said and looked at him while biting her bottom lip. He certainly is much better than I ever thought he was going to be.
 
"I'm not an expert either," Jem smiled, "And I don't mind action. How about this one with monkeys and guns?" Jem pointed to the poster with an angry monkey holding a gun. "Seems interesting. Oh and the whole tab is on me; tickets, popcorn, drink, candy, and extras. You name it and I'll buy it," Jem said as he pulled out his wallet and pulled out his custom debit card that had a picture of his two cats, Melon and Marshmallow.
 
"Wait are those your kitties?" Scarlett asked in her thick accent. "I love cats they are quite adorable" she smiled as she nodded about his movie choice and took his hand, walking over to the ticket booth. "Two tickets for Return of the Planet of the Apes" she said cheerfully. (Sorry if that's not what it's called I'm multitasking here xD )


@LifeNovel
 
((That's fine I understand I'm doing the same thing too!))


"Oh yeah. These are my kitties, Melon and Marshmallow," Jem said with much pride. The ticket person handed them their tickets. Jem then walked over to the concession stand and turned back to Scarlett, "Do you want anything? I'm going to get some popcorn."
 
"Hm...red liquorish and chocolate?" Scarlett asked hitting her lip and looking up at him with her big hazel eyes. She loved how grey his eyes were and how his hair was messy and wind blown
 
"Chocolate and red liquorice it is," Jem smiled as he looked back into her hazel eyes. Jem knew if he kept looking into them any longer he would be holding up the line. For a quick and painful moment, Jem turned to the attendant and bought all the necessities. Then as soon as the food arrived to him he quickly turned back so that he can be in Scarlett's presence again.
