Ian sat down, placing his drink in the cup holder and settling his popcorn on his lap. He had been wanting to see this horror movie for quite a while, but he preferred it when there was almost no one else in the theater. So, just like with nearly every movie he went to see, he waited until he estimated the movie was in its last week in the theater. Over the years, he'd gotten pretty good at it. He was happy to see that he had guessed correctly once again. There was a few teenagers in the middle rows, a couple closer to his age off to the side and himself, all the way in the back row.
Checking his watch, Ian saw there was only a couple minutes before the previews should start, so he just munched his popcorn and entertained himself with the repetitive trivia and quotes on the screen. With just a minute or so to go, a very attractive woman entered the theater. She seemed to be in her mid-thirties, as he was, with lovely dark hair cut at shoulder length. He watched her slender body climb the stairs until she was also in the back row. To his surprise, she came all the way over to him.
Indicating the seat next to him, she asked, "Do you mind if I sit here?"
"Not at all," he replied. If a beautiful woman wanted to sit next to him, he certainly wasn't going to complain.
She smiled at his response. It was a dazzling smile, with perfect white teeth, and it seemed to illuminate her entire face. Being this close, he could see that her eyes were a deep blue color. "Thanks," she said, taking off her coat and sitting beside him. "I couldn't find anyone to go with me to see this movie, and I just hate sitting alone."
The lights went out and the screen lit up. Ian offered the woman some of his popcorn and she accepted, treating him to another of her bright smiles. "Thanks," she whispered. "I was afraid of being late so I didn't get a chance to buy snacks." She munched on her handful of popcorn. "Maybe I'll get something before I leave."
They seemed to like the same kind of movies. As they watched the previews they both laughed at the funny ones, rolled their eyes at the predictable plotlines, and smiled at each other for those that looked entertaining. Ian found himself enjoying having this lovely creature next to him, and began to hope that she might be one of those women who were clingy during horror movies. He didn't really expect it, but he could hope.
The movie started and they both watched, snacking on the popcorn and even sharing Ian's soda. It was almost like a date, he thought, just very spur of the moment. They shared a shy smile after they both jumped at a scary part on the screen, and the woman seemed to blush when she realized she had grabbed Ian's forearm. He went back to watching the movie, acting as if the contact was no big deal, but almost cheering on the inside. She was one of those women, he thought with a smile.
She released his arm, but rested her hand on his leg instead. With her eyes focused on the screen, she ran her hand up and down his thigh, squeezing gently. Darting a glance at her, she seemed not to notice what she was doing. At least, she seemed totally intent on the movie, and not what her hand was doing. He could feel himself getting a little hard as her hand slowly massaged his leg.
