Flowers in the Heart Part 2

"No, Jenna and I already seen that stupid movie," Fauna said when Scott pointed out the latest romantic comedy that was playing. "I been wanting to see this one, but Jenna's such a scaredy cat to see it; says that kind of stuff gives her nightmares."

"Yes!" Fauna giggled out loud when the killer managed to carve up another victim.

"Fauna, you're not supposed to cheer for the killer," Scott laughed.

"Why not? He's winning," she asked, smile on full wattage.

"You are so silly," he said and kissed her.

A friendly little peck turned into a very heated kiss and they did not pull apart until the ominous music started again.

"Yes!" Fauna hooted again as another victim fell to the crazed killer.

"Fauna, you're so silly," he laughed.

"Want to get a hot chocolate?" he asked; it was only ten thirty, according to the car radio.

"No, um, no, not really," she said.

"Oh, um, okay, I um, I really don't know if there's anything else to do, really," Scott said.

He knew what he'd like to do, but was sure that Fauna wouldn't go for that, not on the first date.

"I um, hey um, listen, Scott?" Fauna said, not looking at him.

"Uh huh?" he said turning the heater on his car down now that the interior was warmed.

"I um, I really don't want to go to the Basin, I mean, not on a first date, you know? I mean, I hope you don't think I'm that kind of girl, but..." Fauna stammered.

"No, no, not at all," Scott protested

"I mean, I really really like you, a lot," Fauna hastened to assure him.

"And I really like you a lot too," he admitted.

"So, um, I guess, um, I guess this is it, then," Fauna said.

"Guess so; um, you doing anything tomorrow?" Scott asked.

""When?" Fauna asked.

"I don't know, um, usually on Saturdays I kind of like going to the mall. In Baton Rouge? The one with the big merry go round in it?" Scott said.
