Mista... do you ever check out a girl's body? Sometimes we've gotta do something a little drastic in order to get your attention... a little push, and squeeze and you get that extra something that draws the eye.
[ ah, that kind of convo again... there was that look to him, hands to his chest before leaning in closer ]
... Hey, did you want to go hang out in your room?
Dunno, I never got that far with anybody to find out, but I would assume that at that point the guy is too excited to care about those details.
[ with a smile she carefully pulls away with a weave of those nine tails, making her way to his bedroom. she was thankful that was enough to distract him, not that she didn't care about his feelings on the matter of the people he's lost, but more that she doesn't want him dwelling on it more than necessary for his own sake. ]
What kind of movies do you enjoy watching? We could watch something while we hang out together... Make it fun for the both of us, right?
No need to apologize, you had no warning to accept the conditions as they are.
[ it was easy enough for her to overlook the state of things, it's not like she came over to be impressed by his grand housekeeping or something. for now she instead takes the moment to sit next to him on the bed only to watch him thoughtfully ]
Dude, I thought we covered this in the closet before. This is a no judgement zone, if you like romcoms then you like romcoms, it's no big deal. I mean, there's a reason why they take up a good portion of the market, right?
But Pretty Woman... that's pretty specific... Did you also watch Runaway Bride and My Best Friend's Wedding?
Anyway, whatever choice you make is fine by me. Watching things with others is far more entertaining than just watching it on your own.
Ah, yeah I guess we did kind of cover that already...
[ He flopped down on the edge of the bed beside her, letting out a heavy sigh as he leaned back to prop himself up with his arms. ]
They were okay, but Pretty Woman is a classic, I could probably watch it a million times and never get tired of it. The Bridges of Madison County too, but it's not as much of a staple as Pretty Woman...
[ There was a shrug as he just slid all the way down onto his back and stared at the ceiling. ]
We could probably watch any of them I guess, I'm not sure how easy they are to get here.
[ oh comfort, that makes things better. laying back beside him jolyne finds herself looking up at the ceiling, the slight tilt of her head as she was trying to find some shapes much like cloud watching. the only distraction was the revelation that mista didn't really have these movies on hand. ]
... Are you trying to tell me you haven't attempted to get any of these movies yet? Why not?
[ jolyne, please remember that mista is forever poor. never forget. ]
Like I guess we could see if they have an equivalent on prismaflix, but I gotta warn you now sometimes the changes could be... interesting.
[ there was that shift now, glancing around before catching sight of the remote and taking it up ]
... I forget you're from a time before hearing the phrase netflix and chill. Here, this is way better than a movie rental place, you don't even have to leave the house.
[ it was a few steps to get the application open and getting her information put in ]
You pay a monthly fee and you could watch all the movies you want... but again, they're very much prisma renditions of movies... Let's see now, pretty... iris. Yeah, I guess that works.
[ There was a shrug as he settled back again, brow lifted as he watched her get everything set up. ]
So you can watch it anywhere but you still pay for it the same way you do when you go out and rent a movie? You pay for the month and then for each movie?
[ selecting the movie she moves to lay back again, conveniently snuggling onto mista comfortably while still being able to watch the screen ]
Hm? You just pay for the monthly fee, they don't charge for each movie. Technology has come a long way, when they first started you had to get the DVDs mailed to you, you could pay to rent up to three at one point. But now you don't even have to fuss with that anymore.
You could keep using my account if you want, it's no big deal.
Hmmm? Really? I mean, it costs you money so I should probably pay you back or something...
[ He didn't fight the fact that she was trying to snuggle onto him, even as a faint flush settled on his cheeks. She was warm and she smelled nice, why would he complain? He shifted just a little, carefully bringing an arm up around her and staring intently at the screen.
Just focus on the movie, there's not anything weird about this. ]
[ oh nice, he brought his arm around and oh how comforting that was in this position. it was comforting enough that it got jolyne to make herself even more comfortable against the other as she shifted for her legs to hug onto him ]
So like with the original movie... what’s that like? Is it like this? Why is it your fav?
Mmmm, it’s mostly like this? I mean, with less...uhhh...alien stuff, obviously.
[ It was clear that he was putting a lot of thought into this, unconsciously swirling his fingers over the surface of her shoulder as he kept his attention on the screen. It was hard to explain, wasn’t it? Or at least it felt like it was hard to explain sometimes and Jolyne didn’t exactly com off as the romantic type. Still, it wouldn’t hurt to try and express what she was asking. ]
It’s hard to say really, I mean there’s a lot to like about it, it’s a classic! Like...it’s a modern day fairy tale, you know? And it’s romantic as hell, even when you wouldn’t expect it to be. Have you really never seen it? Like, really really?
Well yeah, I would think it would be with less alien stuff...
[ that little bit of attention was so nice though, instinctively getting her to nuzzle against him affectionately as her hand moved over his chest to find a nice spot to rest and hold onto. whatever she was feeling couldn't really be hidden with the way those tails lazily began to sway. ]
Mmm... I think you forget, I was born about ten years after you were, I grew up with a totally different set of movies. Like 10 Things I Hate About You, or that remake of Sabrina with Harrison Ford... that's the movie I really like when I was growing up.
[ somehow admitting that much managed to make her fluster some in response, closing her eyes as she tried to brush past that. ]
As I got older I took a liking to suspense movies, but romcoms are still okay too.
[ That action in itself was strangely sweet, flush rising to Mista's cheeks as her hand settled so nicely on his chest. His attention was pulled away from the movie for moment to watch the almost mesmerising sway of those tails. ]
...seriously, the remake? It was just a lazy rehash. Nothing against Harrison Ford, but the original is so much better.
[ Of course, that was the thing that he was going to choose to focus on. ]
What can I say? Bogart and Holden weren't hard sells for me if I have to be honest, likely honestly Bogart was so overrated as a romantic lead in those days and honestly I just never saw the appeal. And besides, there was like a good forty years between the releases, I think it's okay if it's just a rehash at that point.
I mean, it could've been a lot worse, you should see what they did when they remade Clash of The Titans. Now that was a true crime to cinema.
[ she hadn't even bothered to move all this while, taking great comfort in resting against mista in this position. although with the shift of conversation to suspense movies there was that pull to get in closer and nose against his throat affectionately ]

Sorry about the mess...
[ It was a mumbled apology, Mista frowning to himself before settling on the edge of the bed with a sigh. ]
I like romcoms and if you laugh about it I'm going to kick you out, got it? I like Pretty Woman the most.
