Birdie’s look is knowing and I feel my neck heating. I give her a thumbs up and turn just in time to see Savannah stagger a step. I rush the last couple steps to Savannah and swoop in, relieving her of the basket. She grins and nods toward the front.

“Do you mind passing those out to the other side of the auditorium? I have to start the projector.”

Giving her my most discreet smile, I nod. It takes a few minutes of passing popcorn out for Savannah to get the projection on the screen and the sound to play. I make sure Dex and Charlie are comfortable and exchange a few words with Birdie.

But the entire time, I want nothing more than to sneak off to an unused room and bang Sav like a screen door in a hurricane.

She spends the next ten minutes making sure everyone is comfortable, has snacks, and can both hear and see the screen.

It’s sweet, and I’m not mad, but once I’m done helping her, I don’t know what to do with myself. I can’t stand around in the aisle, waiting for her. I don’t want to do anything that screams ‘I’M SLEEPING WITH SAVANNAH’.

That would blow our cover, generally be uncool, and probably somehow get back to Mrs. Glory Brown.

I finally find a seat at the back of the auditorium, several rows behind most of the other parents. When Sav finishes her checks, she joins me at the back but sits a few seats away from me. I move so that we’re only one seat apart and grin at her.

“You look amazing today,” I whisper.

She smiles cutely. “Thanks. Anything new going on?”

“Nope.”

It’s not that I want to hide Holly’s upcoming visit. But she has a history of flaking on important travel plans. There’s no need to bring something up if there’s a chance it won’t happen.

Sav drops her voice so low I can barely hear it, and moves her mouth close to my ear.

“Just so you know, I’m thinking about that thing you did to me last night with your fingers.”

My cock stirs.

“I told you I could find your g-spot.”

The wicked glint in her eyes makes me want to kiss her.

“I thought you just meant with your cock. Which like… duh.”

I laugh a little too loudly and a couple of the parents glance back to see me. I ease away from Savannah even though all my senses want me to do the opposite.

“Shh. We’re supposed to keep it secret.”

“I’m not the one who started this conversation,” she whispers. “You used to be Mr. Doom and Gloom, but now you’re Mr. Dirty Minded. That’s not my doing.”

“I beg to disagree,” I murmur.

Our eyes meet and for half a minute, we both just stare at each other.

Sav breaks first. She pushes out of her chair and walks over to the popcorn basket. She returns with a bag and plops down, opening the bag. She offers it to me first without missing a beat.

Savannah is too nice to live in this world. People who are as sunny, optimistic, and kind as she is don’t stay that way forever.

I take a handful of popcorn and loudly tell her thanks. One of the fathers turns around and frowns at me. I give him an apologetic shrug and he stiffly returns to the movie.

On the screen, one of the Stooges hits the other on the back with a fly swatter and causes his victim to fling himself to the floor. The crowd in the auditorium laughs.

I use the moment as an excuse to move into the seat next to Sav’s and stealthily put my hand on her knee. She looks at me with a happy smile and tosses a piece of popcorn at me. Opening my mouth, I try to catch the kernel. But it sails past me and over my shoulder.

“You’re terrible at this,” I whisper.

Her response is to pepper me with several kernels in quick succession. I miss them all because I apparently lack that kind of coordination.
