Girls Like me . Chapter 17. “Yeah, we’ll take a large

“Yeah, we’ll take a large popcorn and 2 small cokes.”  Jake ordered for us.
“Diet.” I whispered.
“Make one of those diet.” Jake smiled at the clerk, playfully rolling his eyes at me.
“What?!” I giggled.  “Diet tastes better anyways.”
“Since when?  You always used to hate diet?” Jake asked curiously.
“Since it doesn’t matter.” I stuck my tongue out at him, blowing him off by walking over to the condiment station to add butter to our popcorn.
I watched the greasy butter pour onto our bucket of popcorn.  Part of me wanted to just let Jake eat the popcorn, I mean, it was so unhealthy.  However, I let it slip just this once, because I hadn’t had movie theater popcorn in forever.
“Got enough butter?” A voice laughed from behind me.
“What?” I said, snapping back into reality.  “Oh sh//t!”
Our tub of popcorn was nearly drowning in butter.  I pulled my hand of off the machine button, taking a few napkins from the dispenser, trying to scoop the excess butter out.
“You can never have too much butter.” I laughed uneasily, clearly embarrassed.
I then turned around, seeing my ex-boyfriend.  The one before Jake.
“Just on time.” I smiled, checking the time on my phone.
“Bree?  Who’s this?”  Jake questioned, carrying our drinks over.
“Oh, this Chaz.” I smiled up at him, then looking back towards Jake.  “Chaz needed something to do today, so I invited him too.”
“Oh, okay.” Jake gave an uncomfortable smile, nodding his head.  “So, how do you two know each other?”
“I’m her ex-boyfriend.” Chaz spoke up before I could.
I had a feeling this was about to get awkward.
“Oh, me too.” Jake responded, avoiding eye contact.
A long silence was taken.
“Okaaay, movie time!” I smiled sweetly, leading them both to the theater.
We scanned all of the isle’s, choosing the very top row of theater seats.
“You can sit in the middle.” Jake said, making sure he didn’t end up not sitting by me at all.
“Okay?” I said, acting like I was totally oblivious to his reasoning.
I took a seat in between the two, silencing my cell phone.
We watched the previews, and the whole theater was silent.  I don’t mean just Jake and Chaz, I mean everyone in the theater, which only added to the awkwardness.  Normally, I hated when people were loud while doing anything in the theater.  But honestly?  I would have been fine if a herd of elephants came stomping through right about now.
Both guys sat next to me, and now, it was only matter of time before someone made the first move.
This was no longer a game,
    it was a competition.
