Tuesday night. This was the night our circle of friends hit the theatre. Our local theater had a deal, $5 for all movies. Pick one and watch for less than half the usual cost. It was a great deal and normally, I was excited but tonight, they all flaked on me. Since my wife died, I had been trying to stick to a routine that was fairly unvaried. I wrote for a few hours in the morning, and worked out for an hour every afternoon. Generally, I took care of my needs, then my wants with a sort of lifeless march through time. It was only recently, eighteen months later, that I functioned more or less normally. So, I went to the movies anyway.
The movie was one of the new sci-fi flicks that was a sequel to a set of movies from a decade earlier. But, what the hell, that was me, Wade Thompson, geek. At 43 years old, I still did what I wanted. I played games on the weekends, wrote novels and game scenarios during the week and kept myself in better shape than most of my friends. And just this morning, I had finished the latest installment of my sci-fi series, the Galactic Hunter. Twelve books strong, I had a steady income that more than met my needs. My house was paid for and I had two cars, one for running around and one for special times. I was doing alright.
As is my usual, I arrived early to the show but still found a line of about 20 people waiting. It was going to be packed tonight, it was one of those nights. As we went in, my favorite seats were the first ones taken, so I walked up to the back wall and sat in the center. The theater began to fill and I realized, they were going to come close to capacity. Just as the last of the previews were showing, two girls came down my aisle and looked at the last two available seats other than the down front wing seats, one on each side of me. I made to get up and shift, but the girl closest to me shook her head and squeezed past. I was wearing shorts and am pretty tall at 6'3" and my legs take up a lot of space. I tucked them in as best I could and she managed to get past me with only a minimal amount of leg grind.
She sat, then leaned over to me and said in my ear, "Sorry about that."
I wasn't very sorry though. Her bare legs had felt good against mine and I'd rather enjoyed it. I turned to tell her only to find her face still right in front of me. She had lovely red glistening lips and blond hair with big blue eyes and was so close, if I stuck out my tongue, I'd lick her lips. Our breath intermingled and I smelled the scent of cinnamon on hers. My eyes looked into hers in the dim light and I thought I saw something there for a moment as I mumbled, "Not a problem at all."
She leaned back and crossed her legs then lay her arm over the top of mine on the shared arm rest, her fingers caressing the back of my hand. I turned then to the tap on my shoulder from the other side.
"Hi," said the pretty redhead next to me, "we see you in here every week with your friends. I'm Tina and this is Deb," she said indicating the sexy blond. "Are you all alone tonight?"
"Hi, Tina. I'm Wade," I responded softly in the quiet of the pre-credits. "The guys couldn't come."
She smiled at me, a stunning smile, the kind that flusters guys like me, and grabbed my hand as well. Now there were two beautiful girls, holding my hand while I watched a movie for which I had been waiting for some six months. And the movie was superb. The graphics were awesome, soundtrack was exquisite and the acting was better than average. Okay, no Oscars for the acting, but sound and cinematography were going to be in the running. By the end of the movie, my hands were on the girls laps, where they'd been placed, and they had their bodies pressed up to me where the folding arm rests had been pushed up and out of the way.
"That was excellent," said Deb, "I love these movies. Hey, it is still early and our favorite show is playing in the next theater and starts in like fifteen minutes. Do you want to watch it with us? My treat."
I am a red blooded man, so, what do you think I said? You're right of course, I said yes. We left the theater and Deb bought the tickets and we went into the other theater. I love these twelve plex theaters. The movie was one of the newer movies in a string of vampire, dark love with a young human girl who is torn between the sexy vamp and the handsome rugged werewolf and must decide between the two of them. I think this one was either the next generation or how it all began, I have to say that I didn't get much of the movie actually watched.
Between the movies, I had gotten a good look at my two companions and they were every man's wet dream. Both were tall, though Deb was a bit taller at around 5'10" in her two inch heels. She was wearing a short jeans skirt and a red tube top under a white button up that was not buttoned, simply tied. Her blond hair hung to the tops of her ample though not overly large breasts. Tina had a more petite frame to go with her 5'8" height. Her dark red hair hung to the small of her back and highlighted her green eyes. Her lips, a darker shade of red than Deb, were prone to smile in a way that could melt adamantium, and she smiled a lot. She was wearing a pullover tank top that hugged her curves and showed off her little tits over a skirt just a touch longer than her friends.
We sat in the back row again only this time the theater was almost empty with only a pair of girls way down front. They immediately pushed the armrests up on the seats all around and sat on the seats with their legs pressed against me, arms linked in mine. I was in heaven. I glanced at them each and wondered why me, but I was certainly not going to say or do anything that might stop this.
