Agent for a Cause

I nodded.

"What kind of movies?"

"All kinds except for horror. I frankly don't see the point in those movies. There's enough horror in the world without fabricating more."

"I couldn't agree more with you there!" She said echoing my statement.

Then she asked, "So do you just like to watch them at home or do you like to go to the theater?"

"Both, but I really like the theater. I like the still darkness of it and the sense that I'm about to see something that I've never seen before. I find it sort of relaxing."

"When was the last time you went?"

"It's been a while." I admitted.

"If it's something you like doing then why don't you do it more often?" She asked curiously.

I paused for a moment before answering, "As much as I like the experience of watching the movie in the theater I don't like the feeling of being alone that I have while I'm there."

She squeezed my hand, "Well now you have me! Maybe our next date could be going to see a movie."

"I would like that." I admitted softly.

"It's a deal."

I glanced at her again, but she wasn't looking at me at the moment and I studied her. She'd just given me something precious, her time and attention focused solely on something that I wanted.

It made me want to give her something in return. I glanced around and my eyes picked out a jewelry store and I seized the opportunity presented.

I led her in the direction of it and she glanced forward and put two and two together, "Oh no you don't! This is a cheap date night and in the spirit of cheap date night nothing expensive can be bought or eaten!"

She pulled back on my hand resisting my path to the store and I pulled her close and whispered directly into her ear, "I'm your boyfriend and I hereby overrule cheap date protocol. You're getting something and that's my final word on the matter!"

She didn't resist me any further, but meekly followed me into the store, which surprised me some. I had expected her to put up more of a fight, at least vocally. Admittedly I had a lot to learn about females, and this one in particular especially.

Upon entering the store my mind switched back to the purpose of my visit and I immediately thought of emeralds to match her eyes. Upon seeing what they had though I changed my mind.

The emeralds were too dark for her and didn't capture the spirit of her and then I saw the peridot collection. There lively light green color was perfect for her, one necklace in particular was especially so.
