Shameless Whores
I twisted my head to look at Aaron in surprise. “You brought me to a movie?”
That was suspicious… Was this new movie that big of a deal? Why did Vincent and Aaron both want to take me here?
“You’ll see.” Aaron smiled mysteriously.
“Okay…” I looked at him with a frown. It couldn’t be that simple.
“Wait.” Aaron stopped me just before I walked inside.
“What’s wrong?”
“You’re forgetting the best part!” He pointed in another direction, and I followed his finger with a grimace.
“Seriously?”
“Of course!” He grinned. “It’s not a movie without popcorn and Coke.”
“Fine.” I rolled my eyes and let him drag me by the hand to the
concession stand.
“Good evening! Could I interest you in our couple’s package?” The middle–aged waitress offered happily.
“We’re not…” Before I could explain, Aaron hugged me from behind.
“Yes, please.” Aaron rested his head on my shoulder and handed over a $50 bill. “Keep the change.”
She graciously accepted the cash and smiled. “You two are a
lovely couple. Enjoy the show.”
“Thanks.” Aaron steered me toward the auditorium. “Hurry. It’s starting.”
Soon, we were seated. Even though we were beside each other, our bodies weren’t touching.
All the while, my brain felt like it was short–circuiting. Me and Aaron, a couple? Ridiculous…
But the more I thought about it, the more my heart raced.
I tried to focus on the movie, but his large, warm hand suddenly wrapped around mine. My body stiffened. I glanced down at our intertwined fingers, then up at his face. He kept his eyes forward, focused on the movie, and I tried my best to ignore the gentle squeeze of his hand.
I couldn’t express how I felt inside, but it was like taking a leap of faith. We seemed like a normal couple at the moment, holding hands and watching a romantic comedy.
At that point, I didn’t even know what the movie was about. The actress said something that made the rest of the audience laugh, but my attention was still on Aaron. I tried to snap out of it and distract myself with something else, so I grabbed a handful of popcorn and shoved it into my mouth.
Everyone loved the movie, but Aaron and I were the only ones not laughing. We both seemed… distracted. While I was munching on popcorn, a single laugh from the crowd caught my attention.
God, that sounded just like Emily…
As soon as I thought of that, I shamed myself. Even now, I was letting Vincent’s cheating get the better of me. It was to the point where I was hallucinating!
But then I heard Vincent’s voice.
That was definitely him!
My eyes scanned the audience until I finally spotted another couple in the crowd.
Those shameless whores!
Seeing Emily snuggled in Vincent’s arms made me want to dump my bucket of popcorn on their heads!
As my anger flared, my gaze turned to Aaron. He followed my initial line of sight until he saw them too, and he seemed a little surprised himself. Still, I remained suspicious. I
whispered, “Did you know they were here? Is that why you brought me here?”
Aaron didn’t say anything. His blue eyes were filled with
sincerity as he looked at me, and that was enough to make my anger toward him dissipate. The only person to blame was Vincent.
I pulled out my phone and snapped a few pictures of Vincent and Emily holding each other. Then I sent Vincent a few texts.
its Olive: hey where are you?
itsOlive: can you pick me up?
I watched Vincent look down at his phone. Before he could reply, Emily snatched it from him and pulled him in for a kiss.
Damn!
My knuckles turned white.
Before I could get even more upset, Aaron suddenly cupped my chin. I didn’t even get a chance to react before his lips were on mine.
It was gentle, and once he was done, he pulled away and said, “He’s not worth it. You still have me.”
I froze, my heart beating like a drum.
A mischievous gleam appeared in his eyes. “Do you wanna go confront him?”
Thesitated for a moment, but then shook my head. “Forget it. This isn’t a good time.”
I didn’t know why I was afraid to break up with Vincent now. Maybe I was afraid the ordeal would be more humiliating thán expected. Maybe my revenge wasn’t complete yet. Maybe I was worried that… if I broke up with him, I wouldn’t have an excuse to see Aaron anymore…
The thought shocked me as soon as it entered my head.
God, how could I think like that? All this overworking must have gotten to me… I wasn’t thinking clearly. I reached for my drink to suppress my discomfort, but instead I took hold of Aaron’s hand again.
I glanced up and saw him staring at me too. His blue eyes looked even more striking in the darkness. The corners of his mouth drooped in a slight frown and his brown curls fell in front of his eyes. He looked like a puppy.
I just wanted to pet him on the head.
In fact, I did.
Aaron smiled down at me and leaned in for another kiss. I
tried to resist, but he whispered against my lips.
“Don’t move. He’s looking.”
