Hellbound With You (WN)

”Childhood friend? Didn ’t that little girl, Betty, say you don ’t have any male friends? ” he questioned. 

”Hmm… well, I don ’t have any contact with him anymore. I haven ’t seen him for many years now. So I guess, we ’re not really friends anymore, ” she replied, looking a bit nostalgic as she stared at the man ’s face. ”This guy here and I grew up together. We even have the same dream back then. We wanted to become stars. When we were seventeen, we both planned to go for an important audition. We promised to reach our dream together. But I ended up not going to the audition… ” she paused. ”So, as expected, he passed the audition and since then, I never saw him again because we also moved out of the city after that. ” 

Alex watched her intently as she told him that story. It seemed that this was the boy he saw in many of her pictures at their house. 

”Ah, let ’s go, Alex. Tonight ’s the premier so we need to hurry or we might not get a good spot. ” Abi pulled him as Alex glanced sharply at the photo of the man on the poster.  

As Abi expected, there were a lot of people already in the movie theater and they actually got the last seats. Abi was a bit disappointed but Alex seemed to be glad that they were going to be sitting at the furthest row to the screen. 

’As expected with a superstar, ’ Abi thought. They came early and yet they still only just managed to get the last tickets. 

From the start of the movie, Abi and Alex ’s hands were intertwined. Abi was smiling as she glanced at him, squeezing his hand occasionally. Her popcorn sat on her left side and she was feeding Alex every now and again. It was a very nice feeling, having Alex sitting next to her and watching a movie with her. 

But as the story progressed, Abi ’s attention started to be fixed on the screen. She didn ’t let go of Alex ’s hand but the man, who had been more focused on her than the movie, was a little displeased, especially when he noticed the pride and admiration in her eyes as she watched that guy. 

Trying to get her attention, Alex let her hand go and stretched his arm out and dr.a.p.ed it over her shoulder. Abi looked at him and smiled before she returned her gaze to the screen again. Still displeased, Alex moved his fingers and it crawled from her shoulder to her collarbones. Abi jolted and her popcorn almost spilled on the floor.

”Alex… ” she whispered. 

Alex finally got her attention and he smirked triumphantly. He leaned in on her and whispered in her ear. 

”Did you know what couples usually do in places like this? ” he whispered seductively and Abi couldn ’t help but blush.
