"Totally win-win," Jax agreed. "It would've sucked to be a zombie." He didn't mind at all that she was pretty much tweaking him about every word he said. Jax could be a sarcastic smart-ass, but it took a lot to really rattle him or make him pissed off. Especially when it was a cute girl with whom he was conversing. They could obviously get away with a lot more.
Closing one eye, Jax considered the movies he'd put on the couch. "Uhm... maybe this one?" He poked at a case. "It's not great cinematic art or anything, but it's a different kind of apocalypse concept. There's some kind of a computer virus some dude put into a mainframe at a college, and it's like, taking over the world. People keep committing suicide and stuff. It's creepy." Like Nick, he wasn't much interested in watching anything about zombies, because they saw enough of that shit in real life.
He had to smile at her from his reclined position when she told him she wasn't getting any pity from him at all. "Fine," he said. "Baseball it is. Because that's the one sport that's boring as hell. Only golf is more boring." That would be a new one: thinking about golf to keep from getting a stiffy. Whatever worked, right? "Or I could think about...clowns. Clowns're scary." He'd read plenty of Stephen King in his time, and that one clown book was some freaky stuff.
He sat up again when she agreed to watch a movie with him and reached for the DVD cases that had spilled to the floor, putting them all back up on the couch between them again. "Why don't you pick?" he suggested. He could watch anything, and he didn't want to put in something she might absolutely hate to watch.
