she said, alarmed. “How about a movie?” I held her hands, brushing my fangs against the small bones of her fingers, growling softly when she pushed them further toward my mouth. I sighed. “Maybe it will be good for us to distract ourselves.” “What is a movie?” Callie sounded curious, feeling her way around the bed as she stood up. “You’ve never seen…” I stopped speaking as I remembered she was blind when awake. “It’s a story created by people, where they act out scenes to tell it. There are themes like horror, action, comedy, and… romance.”

But good, if he won’t come to me, I’ll go to him and I’ll take what I want in front of everyone knowing he won’t protest even if he wants to. The thought sits heavily in my chest as I walk into the cinema room. The lights are already low, the big screen casting flickering colors across the walls. Dave is taking up half the back row. Aria’s legs are stretched across two seats in front. And right in the middle sits Roman with Vivienne tucked against his side, her head on his shoulder like this is exactly where she belongs. My stomach twists, but I keep walking. The in-house cinema is a space for ten people, and with Aria and Dave

A small mechanical bird on the side table tilts its head and chirps in a comically formal voice: “Cinema room, Princess.” I follow the path of scattered red petals down the corridor. The private cinema has been transformed. The usual recliners are pushed aside. A low table sits in the centre of the room covered in a dark cloth, two place settings already arranged. Soft string lights are strung along the ceiling, and dozens of candles in glass holders throw warm, flickering light across the walls. The large screen is dark except for a slow loop of night-sky footage and the air smells like rose. A lot of them are present.

Gianna found me sitting in the living room, hugging a pillow, staring at the television screen that I hadn't turned on. "Madam, it's already seven o'clock. The event starts at eight." "Let's go, Gianna. Let's watch a bad movie." Gianna raised an eyebrow. "A bad movie, Madam?" "Elena's movie. Honestly, I've seen the trailer. Her acting is terrible." Gianna smiled faintly. "Then let's watch it together." --- The cinema was luxurious. Crystal lights sparkled on the ceiling. A red carpet stretched from the entrance to the inside of the theater. Many people were dressed neatly, women in long gowns, men in suits and ties. It felt like a party, not just watching a mo

" Why it's so dark here? " I asked myself again. Then I look at my front. " What is this screen in front of me? Am I in the cinema? " I was like on the big screen in the cinema but the only difference is that the shape of the screen is like an eye, a perfect sphere almond-like screen like a human eye. Then I hear a cry of a baby and I saw the whole face of a woman. I saw how she smile so big. Are they in a castle? Their place looks like a royal place.

The wind blows through my short air and kisses my face with a gentleness that I can not describe. Soon, the four of us come to a stop in front of a large building that has the word CINEMA written on it, it also has the name of the movie that is going to be played this evening. It is a new movie that I have not seen, and it looks interesting. “Thank you guys for allowing me to experience a short version of doing cardio at the gym,” I joke, and they all laugh. “Oh, she does not have a ticket,” The third friend says, I still do not know his name, I think I should ask.

“I know you love movies!!” Nathan’s voice booms with bliss as we were standing before the gigantic building of “ROCK CINEMA”which was written in bold golden red prints. People was buzzing around the premises, couples holding hands, teenagers in pairs or groups, families and friends. Everyone on smiling faces, gisting and giggling. Rock CINEMA is a very busy centre and the most fun place to be.

“It’ll give us a chance to leave reality behind for a bit.” Braxton has the most amazing cinema room, with comfortable seating and a huge screen. The sound system is the same as most movie theaters. I smile just thinking about it. We don’t watch a lot of television or movies, but when we sit in there beneath a blanket and I can cuddle in his arms and lose myself in a romance movie, it’s a great way to take my mind off of everything.

Then his eyes dropped to the dip in my neckline and warmth flooded my core. The room darkened suddenly and I couldn't help the fleeting feeling that came along with it. And I’m not sure it was the darkness or Xander’s unspoken promise. The seating fell in silence as the white light of a projector lit up the white canvas on stage, a slideshow followed suit. Some old folks first talked about the history of winery, planting grapes to reaping to fermenting. But my mind was on pause, save for the fact that the man I started obsessing over was still next to me.

Carlos stands and leaves, and I watch everyone, but Lorenzo leaves the room. “Hey, have you managed to watch a film in the cinema room?” He grins at me, and I shake my head in response. “Well, come on.” He pulls me up and through. Sitting down, I glance around. It’s fucking crazy. This room is far too big, but it’s a cinema room. Still, it’s big. “What sort of film do you want?
