Chapter 77: Chapter 31 - Gabriella (1)

The theater has an epic surround system that made our movie night experience one for the books. It's as if we were actually in a movie theater. It eased my nerves having to sit close to Mariano the whole time. I had to keep my mind off the very obvious fact that his body—that I now know looks magnificent when he's naked—was just right next to me.

"So… What do you think?" I follow him to the kitchen, my eyes locked on his broad back while I suppress the smile forming on my face. We've just finished watching the movie in the basement and I have yet to hear some commentary from him. He hasn't seen the movie until tonight so I'm curious what he thinks of it.

I hate it when people chat nonstop during a movie. An occasional reaction is fine, but anything that would keep my attention off the screen for more than a minute just ruins the experience. I want to concentrate and appreciate the scenes for what they are and having to listen to someone talk over it is annoying.
