At The Movies

Many years ago, when I was working in Seattle. I got bored one night. I was tired of going out drinking, and my wallet needed a break from visiting the strippers, so I went out to catch a movie. I got there a little early, and it was a good thing because the theatre filled up pretty quickly. I sat slightly back of center in the upper area. On my left was a couple of teenagers and to my right was a guy and his girlfriend and the girlfriend was sitting closest to me.

The theater had those great seats where you could lift up an arm so you could snuggle up to your date, and I had not pulled the right side arm down, so the woman next to me was a little close. I didn’t mind. She wasn’t hard to look at, so I took it as a pleasant little bonus.

The couple talked while we waited for the movie to start. I could tell that she did not want to be there from the tone of her voice. The way he said, “We’ll watch what you want next time. I promise,” suggested this was a common occurrence, and she was more than a little pissed about it.
