The movie was one I didn't particularly want to see. Some schlocky horror slasher about an insane doll or tractor or something but you wanted to see it and I wanted to see you, so I agreed to it. I bought the tickets so I got to pick our seats. Back row, all the way back against the wall. Like I said, I wasn't really interested in watching the movie in the first place.
We got popcorn and a soda to share, and made our way back to the theater. The trailers had already begun by the time we took our seats and began to recline them back. You moved to put the arm rest between us down, but I playfully smacked your hand away. Leaning in close enough to whisper in your ear I said, "No way missy. I need to be able to cuddle up next to you if you're going to bring me to a spooky movie like this." I slid sideways, straddling our two red, faux-leather seats, pressing my body up against yours. You giggled and leaned forward, just enough for me to slide my arm around your slender shoulders, and rested your head on my collar.
By the first gory kill, (I think it was a table saw to a guy's kneecap?) I was already getting bored with the basic dialogue and generic plot. My mind wandered to... Other things. Your body pressed against mine in the dark, nearly empty theater. The scent of your hair filling my nose. I ran my free hand down along your side. You were wearing a fuzzy black sweater and the soft fabric felt good against my skin. Playfully I cupped and teased your chest. That elicited an adorable little pout, "Daddy," you whined in a low whisper, your lips lightly touching the nape of my neck as you spoke. "I'm trying to watch the movie." I could tell though, your protests were only half-hearted.
