After Movies Novels & Stories

Don’t get me wrong, I’ve had the occasional fling, but it wasn’t a habit of mine. “Let’s let it be for now and watch a movie or something, okay?” “Yeah, that sounds good.” I let Z pick the movie, I didn’t care enough to have an opinion. I would either end up overthinking this afternoon the entire time or falling asleep. I am trying not to do either but couldn’t for the life of me tell you what has happened during this movie. Some killer trying to kill for whatever reason. Zain loves these stupid horror movies. Usually the more ridiculous the better for him. I am not a big fan. When I was little, I would have to watch cartoons after watching a scary movie. I wanted to be grown and not be scar

“Hope, how did you do that? It's impossible to talk to him, and I almost called to tell you not to come, and...it happens” Armin ran a hand through his hair nervously, and rightly. It was midnight, by this time he should have been in his bed, asleep. However, he was at the station with two lawyers trying to clean up her employee and her friend.

"There's good news and bad news. Helen didn't take the death of Mr. and Mrs. Carlton very well. She vanished on the same night. She hasn't resurfaced in almost six months. I think she has left Aldenvine. The Toxic Hive bases in Aldenvine have also been moved. "Ms. Miller … left with the others. The Black Ravens have yet to be seen. I'm not sure if the mission has been canceled or if they're just hiding." All leads had gone cold. Following the departure of Toxic Hive, a lot of the events from the past became shrouded in mystery, and the truth was also concealed. "The good news is that our research team has already finished the tests for the M-1 drug you brought back. We're able to formulate i

“Oh you no you love it, Sarah winked at her. Everyone settled for the movie and no one even minded that Sarah had already started it few moments ago. At the end of the movie, everyone was teary except Jessie who looked totally bored out of her wits. Sarah and Marie were sobbing their hearts out. So much for watching the movie a hundred times, Amy smiled inwardly. Amy grabbed a tissue and wiped the single tear that had trickled down her left cheek. “Alright ladies. That's tears. Save them for the next movie. It’s discussion time, my favorite, Ava announced, sniffed and continued. “So Amy this is what we do after seeing a movie, we discuss it and share our thoughts about it.

The movie had long since finished. “Finished without me?” he asked playfully. He wondered what she was trying to find in the credits. It was unlike her. Jessica on the other hand, didn't even realize when the movie had ended. Adam picked up the remote and wrapped his arm around her. She was cold. Adam took a look at her to see if anything was off. She was doing a great job at looking stress free. He bought it. “Wanna watch something else?” he asked. Jessica reluctantly nodded in affirmation. He was back on the main menu, looking for a good movie. Both of them wanted a comedy to numb down what they had just been through.

"The Nexus brings people together, making everyday challenges easier to overcome." The last part of the video featured a montage of cheerful faces—families using the Nexus at home, children in classrooms, and medical staff working together smoothly. The screen turned to dark, and the words *Connecting Lives, Changing Futures* emerged, accompanied by the gentle hum of inspiring music. As the video concluded, the room exploded. Applause erupted from the audience, and some people rose to their feet, their enthusiasm and appreciation apparent. The melody flowed over me, filling the room with a bright energy that appeared to pulse in sync with my heartbeat.

Justina added, a bit calmer, “And a tray of fruit. Grapes, maybe strawberries. Something fresh to balance it.” I chipped in, “Don’t forget chocolate, they are my favs.” Judi beamed at me and nodded to the maids. They wrote everything down and left, trying not to laugh at how demanding Judi was. As soon as the door closed, Judi spun around. “Perfect. Now, movies. We’re starting with a comedy. Something ridiculous—” Justina cut in, “Not one of those slapstick ones, please.” “Fine, fine,” Judi said, pretending to be offended. “We’ll start with Mean Girls, it's very classic. Then a rom-com—maybe The Proposal. After that we'll watch one horror. The Conjuring. We can scream together.”

Period. [Everything that has happened between us—the mistakes and slip-ups—is mine alone. Do not blame anything on her, and do not even paint her as the bad guy. These are all unfounded rumors created to foster a malicious narrative against her. [I've already sought legal action from all relevant authorities. This is the least I can do to protect her reputation and name.] The video was taken down soon after. Meanwhile, Damian's post prompted another heated discussion. Bella read his post, too. As she switched her phone off and put it down, she sighed, her mind embattled in complicated feelings.

“What are you picking?” “I’m not sure…. we have seen all these so many times.” The door flew open as Brett, Hayden and Steele walked in. “I got a movie!” The relief on Spencer’s face was funny. “Thank you! I was struggling.” “What did you bring?” Vivian walked away from me and looked at what Brett had brought. “The Day After Tomorrow.” Jo, Cade and Beau chose that moment to walk in. Jo’s cheeks were flushed. “Finally, get some action?” I asked, in our mind-link.

The morning after the attack, the penthouse was silent except for the faint beeping of medical machines and the low hum of police radios downstairs. Elara sat up on the couch, wrapped in a blanket, one hand over her stomach, the other gripping Lucian’s sleeve. Lucian hadn’t let go of her since dawn. Marek rested in a separate room, stabilized but exhausted. Elara exhaled shakily. “Lucian… what happens now?” Lucian rubbed the bridge of his nose. “Now? I will keep you safe. And Marek. And the baby.”
