Deadly Games

~Chapter Three~

The bus screeched to a stop at some random street I’d never heard of before in the old part of town. Old Victorian homes lined the streets and businesses buildings, with beautiful architectural detail that had once probably been extravagant but were now run-down and dilapidated, reached toward the sky. There were tall, greenish-brown street lights were placed strategically to just barely light up the sidewalk. The shops were large and beautiful.
Stylish older woman came in and out of the shops with their expensive Coach purses buying expensive little knick-knacks with their rich husbands’ credit cards to clutter their large homes with.
Hand-in-hand, we strolled down the semi-busy street gazing into the windows and watching the people move around us.
We walked around a corner and my breath caught as I looked up at the grand, gigantic, old-fashioned movie theater. There was a ticket booth and everything. He unlatched our hands and walked to the ticket booth and paid for two tickets. He walked back to where I was standing, marveling at the beauty of the building and said, “I’m going to go use the bathroom, it’s right out back. Wait here, okay?”
I nodded and looked at the tickets. They were for some old movie I’d never heard of before. I smiled to myself as I thought of how lucky I was to be on a date with such an original boy at such a beautiful old movie theater.
“Hey Del!” a voice called to me.
I whipped my head around and saw Ethan from my Chemistry class standing in the ticket booth, waving in my direction.
“Hey!” I said, running over to him. “You work here?”
“Oh yeah, have for five months now. Not the best job, but hey, pays for the gas. Chrissie always wants to go to the big city. A guy needs to pay for that some way.” We both laughed as we thought of his girlfriend and her big city dreams. She wanted to be a huge Broadway star.
We continued to small-talk until I got a tap on the shoulder. I jumped and turned around to face Trey, his expression on his face unreadable.
“Who’s this?” he asked.
“Oh, this is Ethan! He sits right behind me in Chemistry. Hah, he always helps me when I am completely lost. He’s a total whiz at that stuff,” I smiled at Ethan.
Ethan’s cheeks got red as he laughed, “I’m not that great. Just doing my best!”
I joined in laughing.
“Well your best is pretty great!” And I smiled at him in a friendly way. “Well we’d better go inside. Or we’ll miss our movie,” Trey said, grabbing my wrist roughly and dragging me inside.
“I didn’t get a chance to say goodbye to Ethan,” I said as we found seats in the theater.
“Oh, I’m sorry,” he apologized sarcastically. “Did you want to go say goodbye to him or would you rather be here with me, ON OUR DATE?”
I crinkled my eyebrows in confusion. “I don’t understand what you mean.”
He turned from me and sat down in one of the plush, maroon theater seats. “I ask you out on a nice date and how do you repay me? By talking to every guy you see. Could you try not being such a wh*re?”
My eyes widened as I took in what he said. “Wait, what?”
He stared at the screen. “Would you sit down, the movie’s starting.”
I sat down, completely shocked.
He looked at me, noticing my silence, and wrapped his arms around me. “Come here,” he mumbled as he squeezed me. “I just don’t want to share you, babe.”
My heart melted when I heard that. Every girl loves being called ‘babe’.
He pulled me into a kiss and pulled away, inches from my face and moved a stray piece of hair away from my eyes. “I never want to share you.”
Funny how one line made me forget everything.

I can't wait for this story to be over. Which is sad, snce I just started it.
