At the Movies

On getting to the cinema, he got a good parking space not far from the entrance and they went to pick up their tickets and popcorn and then walked straight into the theater which was almost full by the time they got in.

They couldn’t find seats that were together and eventually found two empty seats that were the last seats at the topmost back by the wall. Keith guarded her at the waist to ensure they got through to their seats carefully. They sat down and he felt it was a perfect place for them as he wasn’t interested in the romance movie but was glad to be in such a position with Kelsey.

The movie was about a C.E.O that fell in love with his secretary and things happened rapidly between them. They soon got married and hoped to start an amazing family but different twists and turns started in their marriage which brought them lots of bitter and sweet experiences.

At different times during the movie, Kelsey wiped off her teary eyes with her tissue and Keith couldn’t understand why she cried over an imaginary tale. He however pulled her to himself, cuddled her, and patted her hair which made her feel better.

She enjoyed the movie very much but Keith only concentrated on her all through.

After the movie, it was time to leave and because it was a full house, there were lots of people leaving the movie theater so Keith and Kelsey decided to wait in their seats for the queue to subside.

Keith then pretended to sleep at this time to see what Kelsey would do and of course, Kelsey kept to her words and jumped on his thigh. As if Keith was expecting it, he grabbed her into his embrace.

“What are you doing?” he asked helplessly

“Making you not to sleep of course”

“You are treading into the lion’s den and will have to bear the consequences” he grinned flirtingly

“Bad boy,” She said as she crossed her legs while still sitting on his thigh

“You forgot that you had a question to ask me,” she asked

“I never forget things, only looking for the appropriate time to ask you”

“So spill it,” she said     

“My question to you ma’am, ……… how did you achieve your perfect figure and I….I really like how you swing it like you don’t give a hoot”

{laugh} …“It's God-given baby, Although, I don’t know what my mama looks like but I guess she gave them to me” she joked.

I’m an ordinary poor girl who’s only highly endowed with what others pay thousands of dollars to get…And it’s not my fault you know”, she said confidently as she smiled

“Mhmm, [he nodded] that’s great to hear, kudos”, he gave her a fist bump.

“And ……..you don’t give two hoots about what you’re causing to me now by sitting on me, right?”

“What do you mean”, she blurted out. Although she knew what happened cos she felt something massive by her thigh.

She changed her position and sat on him with her legs apart while facing him

He let out a groan “You’re driving me, crazy babes. If I start with you, I promise you that I won’t stop”

“What are you starting and who says I’m starting something with you?” She teased.

She tapped him and ordered immediately, “Let’s leave, the hall is almost empty”

“Yes boss”, he said as he tried to get up but adjusted himself before he did.

……………….

They got out of the cinema and decided they still needed to hang out as town was really bubbly due to the holiday and its Friday night again.

“Do you drink?” he asked

“No, I don’t, do you?”

“Nope, but I have an interesting place to take you, come on.”

They got into the car and while he drove, she remembered he took their picture when they were leaving the house so she asked to see it. He gave her his phone and told her the password.

She opened it and navigated to his gallery. What popped up first were series of her pictures and she wondered when this boss turned lover-boy took her pictures.

“I don’t check someone’s phone but I’m seeing my pictures here, am I permitted to scroll through your gallery”

“Of course you can. You’re not mad at me for doing that secretly, are you?”

“Mhmm, I’m still checking through” she teased

She scrolled through and even saw her picture when she met him for the first time at the restaurant. It’s very clear this man likes her and she knew it from the onset but she didn’t want to over-think then. But it’s now very clear to her especially the way he’s been all over her today that they are together for the first time. It’s like they were made for each other and have known for a long time.

“I like all our pictures taken together. They are cute”, she giggled

“Did you see my Mum and my Aunt’s pictures?”

“No, I stopped at my picture at the restaurant”

“Why not go ahead and check more pictures. I’m sorry you can only find just a few pictures… a few of me and some of my mum and aunt….We have a very close relationship as we are all we got”

“They are so beautiful and look graceful” she complimented

“Yeah right,” he said with a smile

“Your aunt is the one whom you said is your mum’s best friend from their University days, right?” she asked

“Yes, do you like her?”

“I do. Why do I strangely feel something about them?”

“Seriously? ….Interesting! …….Probably you met them at the World Art Exhibition you told me you went to last year in New York. They were one of the exhibitors and show-cased lots of amazing first-class artworks that attracted huge investors.

“Oh!  They were the ones? She said surprisingly. I couldn’t have an opportunity to meet with them as lots of people had registered to have a one-on-one with them but little me couldn’t get a chance”

“How awesome would it have been if you came to meet them? I took one-week leave from work to be with them and help sort things out although I designated the management of their exhibition to my Events team members.

I’m sure I probably would have married you long ago if I had met you then”. We might be on our second pregnancy now”. He said as both of them laughed it off

“By the way, where are the pictures of your girlfriends?” she asked

“You saw the pictures already” he answered

“Oh, how did I miss it?” she exclaimed but a silent string of disappointment passed through her heart as she quickly swiped through the picture gallery again to check but stopped when he said – “You saw your sexy pictures, didn’t you”

She burst out into laughter and was quietly relieved to hear that.

“When did I become your girlfriend without my permission,” she said

“Well now you know you are”

“C’mon Mr. Jefferson”

“Excuse me! Call me Keith or Honey”, He chuckled

“Housemate you mean” she joked

“Well that’s better than you calling me Mr. Jefferson”

“But that’s your name”

“Ok, if you call me by that, then I’ll call you by your future name Mrs. Jefferson”

“Awwww”, she laughed about it and didn’t bother to pretend because she guessed his intention already and she had started nursing a loving feeling for him too.

“Anyway, whatever you want to do or say, I’d advise you act fast before you lose out,” she said

“NEVER! …I can’t lose on what belongs to me”. He stated possessively

“You’re so confident about it huh!” she said

At this point, they approached the parking lot and Kelsey turned her head to admire the superbly beautiful environment that Keith brought her to.

"Here we are, my dearest Kelsy-licious" He gave her a sexy wink

This wink and the way he called her just now made her heart to melt and the feeling was enough to drown her into her seat. It's obvious she's beginning to like him very much.
