Three, two, one
Beep
The movie starts
The lights are out
It’s a thriller and
I’m on a date
Her curfew is eleven
It’s only seven
The movie is a scary one
‘Bout a killer in a small town
Just like ours
She grips the arm rest
In anticipation
‘This is my chance’, I think
I rest my hand on top of hers
I blush
And look away
Hoping this wouldn’t end my day
I turn to her
She’s looking away
Then turns to me
Rosy red cheeks
But puts up no struggle
A real scary part
She gasps, popcorn spills
She whispers to me, “This is giving me the chills.”
I hold her hand even more firmly
She leans into me
And I into her
The movie is over too soon
Leaving we find a bench
Chatting idly
She passionate about books
And I, history
Smiling nonstop
Her curfew is almost up
I take her home
Parents glad, I made it in time
Parting phrases
I leave the porch
The door opens
She moves to me
Kisses my cheek
Tells me to call her soon
Leaves
I smile

I very much like the way this gives you the feeling of a first date that went very well. The small things that you notice and think about long after, especially at the beginning of a relationship. I also like that though it is more tame sexually than kissing or sex, it still has the intensity of the moment. Very well captured in such few words. Bravo, sir.
