Smitten: A Mafia Romance — Chapter 25

Korina was on her Whatsapp app, sitting texting her two best friends as she waited for Cole to show up.

She was putting on a mini floral short sleeved dress, she settled for it as she didn't know where Cole was taking her.

She had no make up on, her hair was let down and she wore a pair of fancy slip ons.

It wasn't really Cold tonight so she thought her outfit was appropriate enough, she intended on taking a coat with her per chance the weather got chilly.

"Is he there yet?" Anne texted.

"Nope." Korina texted back.

"Are you going to his apartment? Are you guys gonna fuck?" Daniella's text came in just as she was about to text something else to Anne.

"Jeez, Daniella I would block you." Korina rolled her eyes as she sent her reply, Dan is such a pain in the ass.

The doorbell rang and Korina knew that it definitely was Cole.

"Coming!" She yelled, "Be right there."

She grabbed her coat and purse hurrying to the door.

"Hey." She said opening the door and flashing her widest smile.

"What's up." Cole said taking in her appearance, "Sorry I came a little late."

"Nah." She said, "It's fine, it's just an hour's delay."

He winced noticing the sarcasm behind her words.

"You seem to grow more breathtakingly gorgeous each time we meet."

"Thank you." Korina blushed, "We should get going."

"Yea, we should."

She put off the lights and got out of the apartment, she locked the door and was about to start walking with Cole when her phone beeped.

Private number- My sweet Korina, I feel the need to tie you up and do really wicked things to you, lay you across my lap for a good spanking, you really going on a second date with him.

Korina clenched her thighs together on reading the message, her face paling too, she found the message quite arousing, whore! Whore! She scolded herself, he's a stalker jeez, a sick one, getting aroused really?

Cole watched Korina's face lose colour and she did a funny movement as she stared at her phone and he also wondered why she looked around as if they were being watched.

"Is everything alright?" He asked with concern.

"Yes! yes!" She shook her head shoving her phone back in the purse, "Let's go."

"Okay." Cole took her hand in his and they began walking.

They made small talk as they strolled hand in hand down the hallways and straight into the elevator.

Cole drove the car into the park of the cinema, finding a suitable park space, he manuevered the car into the space and parked.

"Thank God, I didn't get over dressed." Korina sighed as she took in the surroundings.

"You thought of wearing a cocktail dress?" Cole laughed.

"Not really." Korina said, "So what movie are we seeing?"

"Why not wait till we get in?" Cole said.

He came down from the car went over to her side and opened the door for her.

"Still being the gentleman, I see." Korina teased as she came down from the car.

"And then again, I say, anything for a beautiful lady."

They were holding hands again as they walked into the cinema trying to locate where the tickets were sold.

"So." Cole began talking as they got in, "What do want to see, an action movie, sad, horror or comedy?"

"No! Not horror please." Korina answered, "My life is already horrific enough." She said mumbling lowly.

"What was that?" Cole asked as he didn't hear her well.

"Nothing." She replied, "Let's pick a comedy."

"Okay." He nodded and turned to the sales man.

"Two tickets please." Cole said.

Korina looked around the place, not much people were at the Cinema, she guessed by the way it was kinda scanty.

"You get the tickets." She focused her attention back to Cole, "I would get the snacks." She said turning to go.

"Hey." Cole called her back, "I will pay for everything, my treat." He brought out some dollar notes from his wallet and stretched them out to her, "Take."

"Oh please." Korina snorted with an eye roll, "Keep your money, I would get them myself, it's a fifty-fifty kinda thing."

"But l..." He couldn't finish as she had already scurried away towards the snack stall.

Cole already got the tickets to the movie titled 'just friends'. They walked to the theatre hall with Cole dragging dozens of snack bags of popcorn, gummy bears, candies and crackers along with him.

He didn't even know most of what he was holding.

"Do you really need this much snacks?" He asked whining, he didn't understand why she needed them and why he was carrying most, if not all of the snacks when he was sure he wasn't even gonna eat up to half of it.

"They are so heavy." He complained.

Korina halted in her tracks and turned to face him, "What is heavy? Are you carrying a tractor?"

"It's fucking heavy."

"There is nothing, put those gym muscles to use, will you?" She pointed at his arms, "I think I need much more."

"I am carrying gallons of popcorn, uncountable packs of gummy bears and... I don't even know the rest."

"Oh quit it." She said, "Those aren't gallons, they are medium sized sacks."

Cole scoffed.

"Hey." She glared, "At least I am carrying something too." She showed him the contents in her hand and grumbled.

"You call that carrying something?" He asked looking at her hand. She held her purse and a pack of gummy bears, "Indeed, you are carrying things."

"Ahh, at least I tried." She defended herself, "let's just go, the movie is about to start."

Cole grumbled along the way with Korina glaring at him most of the time.

They got into the theater and located their seats. They took the seats and waited for the cameras to roll.

Cole watched Korina as she munched on her pop corn, he reached out to take some but she slapped his hand away.

"That's punishment for complaining." She waved a finger at him, "Don't touch my food."

He laughed and continued watching her in admiration as she ate and blabbed. It took a lot of time before the movie finally started.

She had already finished two packs of popcorn.

He sighed and turned his attention to the screen, it's gonna be a really long night.
