Hey, to be fair, she has a boyfriend, right? Where is he?
“I’m sorry,” the guy says again. “I get nervous around pretty girls. And pretty girls at a horror movie? I’m so lucky to have chosen this exact seat, right?”
Mila digs her foot under my seat. Poking at my ass.
She definitely needs my help.
“Hey, before this starts, can I get your number? I want to text you as we watch this together. Is that okay?”
Mila digs her foot again.
I grab my popcorn and my soda and I stand up.
I turn around.
The guy in the glasses looks up at me.
“Well, hey there,” he says. “Another fan of horror!”
I lean down a little. “Listen, my man. The scariest thing will be what happens to you if you don’t stand the fuck up and walk away right now. Leave this pretty woman alone, okay?”
“Excuse me,” he says.
I reach for his popcorn - with the intention of smacking it out of his hand.
Yes, I’m being a dickhead bully. And, no, I don’t care.
The guy inches back against his seat.
“I’m going to fucking sit there now,” I say to him. “So you either walk away or I pick you up, break you in half, and then you can live in your own horror movie. Got it?”
The guy quickly hurries to his feet and scrambles down the aisle.
I look at Mila and curl my lip.
Without speaking, I step over the row I’m in and I sit down next to Mila.
I place my soda in my cupholder.
I take a handful of popcorn and eat.
She’s looking at me, waiting for me to say something.
I slowly turn my head.
It almost feels like we’re about to kiss.
I even inch closer to her…
“So now you need me, honey?” I ask.
Mila puts a finger to her lips. “Shh… the movie is about to start…”
She looks forward.
And I see her smirk.
