Moonlight

"How was your aunt?" I asked as I sat on the couch watching TV. Josh just appeared on my side.

"She seems fine... I don't know if I am expecting too much but why is it that people I thought cared for me seem happy without me? I mean it has not even been a month that I had been gone." He said as he looked hurt.

I lowered the TV volume thinking we needed to talk and said, "Maybe they are faking it till they actually feel it? You know, they might be trying to stay occupied so that they don't feel the pain of you being gone."

"They aren't even bothered about finding my body. They don't seem so concerned." As Josh said that, I knew his aunt did something to hurt him.

"Did you see your aunt doing something wrong?" I asked curiously.

Josh sat on the window pane as he replied, "I don't know, she seemed like to be selling the house soon. I don't want that to happen... The house is the last gift from my parents and I don't want to ever sell it. The property is still on my name but I guess my aunt presume that I am dead."

"Well, maybe they are faking it till they actually feel it you know. They might not be knowing another way other than keeping themselves occupied to not remember that you are gone." I shared my thought.

"I could get over with my friends and my ex but my aunt selling the house without even being confirmed that I am dead is too much." Josh looked dolorous and he had every rights, I would be sad to know that no one cared enough to try hard to look for my body too if I were dead.

"It is a good thing to not have your body found by them, don't you think? If they did, they would bury it without a thought." I said.

He sighed and looked at the side as he rested his head on the window as he said, "Thank you for letting me focus on the positive side."

I wish I knew a way to make him feel better but for now the only way to make him feel good was to get his body and soul together which was so hard. I wish I could help him soon enough before he loses all his hopes.

"Do you have a bit of a cash?" Josh asked as he turned to look at me.

"Yeah I do...Why?" I asked.

"Enough to get yourself a movie ticket?" He asked back at me.

"Yeah... Why?" I asked again.

"Let's go watch a movie then." He said as he got up and started pulling me by my hand.

I nearly fell as I was pulled too suddenly from my "comfortable potato couch" position.

"I am in my sweat pants, I need to get dressed in decent clothes, hello!" I shouted and made him stop on his track as he was about to open the door.

"Yeah right, how can I forget?" He groaned.

"Why is that movie so important? I am already sensing it's a war movie or some kinda boring movies only guys watch... If so, I am not going." I said folding my arms across my chest.

"It's a really fun movie, uh...a romantic one... Who's your favourite actor? He's in that movie." He said frantically and was transparent with all his lies.

So I simply kept giving him a glare that he deserved until he spoke the truth.

"Alright... It's a biography of a very famous boxer. Today is the last date and I always wanted to watch it. I am very sure you will enjoy it." He said and gave me a fake pout when I didn't say anything.

I looked away from him in order to control my laugh but he caught my hand and put it between his palms while gesturing to beg me as he said, "Please..."

I couldn't control the laugh anymore and his lips broke into a charming smile as well.

"I got to admit that you are good with emotional blackmailing... Now let go off my hand, I gotta go change." I pulled my hand away from his and started to run into my room.

"Can I come too?" The same old perverted Josh asked.

"Don't you want to go?" I turned to ask him as I waited for his answer while holding the door open.

"I feel like the movie will be worth missing if I would be seeing you naked." I rolled my eyes as an answer to what he said and got inside my room shutting the door loudly behind me.

I heard him burst into laughter after that.

I opened my wardrobe to see what I should wear. I thought of wearing a dress but then it's not like I am going on a date so it would be too not casual maybe. Also people will only see me so I will be alone practically but whatever.

I picked up my black jeans and grey laced shirt. I quickly put them on and went to cleanse my face so that I could put on some natural makeup.

After I was done beating my face on with makeup, I decided to put my hair into a pony tail since I couldn't ever style my hair well.

I only had two hairstyles, either hair down or hair tied up in a pony tail. I really needed to learn how to style my hair in different ways.

I picked my bag and put my wallet inside it before walking out of the room.

As I approached near Josh, he let out a loud whistle. I blushed without a reason or maybe because I wasn't used to getting compliments or stuffs like that.

"Let's go." I said to Josh who smirked on my way.

We walked towards the movie theater and as we reached there, we had to wait in the cue for the tickets and Josh and I were the last people in the line.

I noticed mostly were guys and only few girls were there who seemed to have come with their boy friends and I knew I looked like a pathetic loner.

"Gosh people are looking at me, I look stupid." I whispered to Josh who was behind me.

"Trust me, they wish you were their girlfriend. I wish they could see me so that they know I am with you." He whispered back to me, as his breath touched my neck I quivered slightly not being able to decipher the sensation.

After a long wait, it was finally my turn to get the ticket. I grabbed the ticket and bought some pop corn and then headed to the movie hall with Josh.

We chose a corner seat located at the back since the other ones were all taken. Luckily there few seats still empty on our row which meant, people won't have to sit on Josh.

"Thanks." Josh said with a smile.

"You're welcome." I replied with a mouth full of popcorn.

The movie wasn't that bad like I expected, quite inspiring since it was a biography of a famous boxer. The movie was showing what he had to go through and how he didn't give up to have his dreams achieved.

It made me think of what Josh and I were going through, maybe this movie was sign that we shouldn't give up.

I wanted to watch the movie till the end but unfortunately I felt sleepy in the middle of the movie and the next thing I realized was that I was too tired to sit straight up so my head leaned on something cold yet warm. I dozed off to sleep after that.
