The doorbell rang right at seven o'clock. Roger took once last glance in the hallway mirror before opening the door.
"Hi, Roger," Lindsey said, smiling as she stood on the front porch.
Lindsey looked especially beautiful tonight. It was only the second time that Roger had really seen her fixed up, the other time being the Memorial Day party. Lindsey was a girl that didn't require much makeup to look pretty. She allowed her cute face and tan complexion to stand on its own, with the assistance of a little eye makeup.
She wore her dark brown hair down and styled, as it lay just past her bust with a little curl. Lindsey wore a pink v-neck shirt, which collapsed down just low enough to expose the very top of her cleavage. Her shorts were very short, just long enough to cover everything, but nothing more. The fabric clung to her bubble butt and struggled to contain her strong athletic thighs.
"Hey, Lindsey! Come on in," Roger offered.
Roger and Lindsey exchanged some pleasantries before Roger led her up to the home theater. Lindsey took a seat on one of the couches, which were arranged in two rows of stadium seating. Roger began to fiddle over at the snack bar, popping some popcorn and pouring some beverages.
"Have you thought about what you'd like to watch?" Roger asked.
"Well, I haven't really decided. There are so many good movies that are out right now. I haven't been able to see many of them because of school. I'm really excited about 'Death Score', which is supposed to come out in a few weeks. I love scary movies!"
"Let's watch 'Death Score' then."
"No, it doesn't come out for another few weeks. We will have to watch something else."
"We can watch it. Look," Roger said as he used his phone to control the large projection screen, "the studio already has it on their server. We can stream it, if you want to watch it."
"Wow! Are you serious? I guess I didn't realize you could also play movies that weren't out yet. Let's watch it," Lindsey said excitedly.
Roger walked over to the couch and handed Lindsey a big bag of popcorn and a drink, before taking a seat next to her on the couch.
"I have to warn you- I am a bit of a scaredy cat. I love scary movies, but I jump a lot. Try not to laugh," Lindsey said with a nervous giggle.
The movie loaded and began to play. Roger had never been much for scary movies. The few that he had seen lacked much of a plot and just used people popping out to try to scare people. This movie fit into this stereotype, with poor acting and writing. Lindsey seemed to be enjoying it though, which was all that really mattered to Roger.
Lindsey jumped at every chainsaw wielding psychopath that popped out of a closet. She cheered on the main characters as they ran from said psychopath. Then she would chastise those characters when they did something stupid to get them killed.
"Why not just run out of the house? How can you be so stupid!?!" Lindsey would scream at the screen.
Roger was getting more entertainment out of watching Lindsey react, than he was out of the film itself. The film hadn't been very gory, as most of the violence was implied. However, at the climax of the movie, the main character's best friend got caught by the killer and the low budget film must have used half of its budget to depict this specific killing. The masked psychopath stood over the friend with a chainsaw and began to chop up the character in graphic detail.
"Oh my, I can't watch this," Lindsey said looking away and burying her face into Roger's shoulder.
Roger was more in shock by the feeling of Lindsey on him, than he was about the brutal murder going on in the background. Her soft hair was brushing against his exposed bicep, as she pressed her face against his shoulder. He was close enough that he could smell the fruity shampoo she had used. It was years since Roger had felt the touch of a woman; and even without this being a sexual touch, he was aroused nonetheless.
The chainsaw noise finally stopped on screen and Lindsey sat back up, eager to see if the main character would make it out alive. She was very invested in the outcome of the movie, which made Roger a little invested too. In the end, the main character was able to escape, which led to an excited clap from Lindsey.
The lights inside the home theater brightened as the ending credits began to roll. Lindsey was sitting on the edge of her seat, still hyped about the dramatic end to the film.
"Wow, that was great!" Lindsey exclaimed.
"Yeah it was thrilling," Roger replied trying to fain some excitement of his own.
"I told you I was a scaredy cat," Lindsey laughed.
