Sherelle Green - Nights Of Fantasy

“I have a question for you before we do the last thing. Have you ever snuck onto a tour bus or into a concert?”

She looked at him inquisitively. “That’s a strange question. I guess, no, I’ve never done either one.”

“Have you ever thought about doing anything like that? Breaking the rules by sneaking into someplace you didn’t belong?” He studied the way her eyebrows rose before she smiled.

“Actually, I have always wanted to sneak into a movie theater. You know, pay for one movie and then when it’s over, sneak into another.”

Perfect. “Well, luckily for you, that’s exactly what I had planned.” He grabbed her hand and led her to a local movie theater that only played two movies a night. Sneaking into a movie theater this small would definitely give them a rush and, if his plan worked, the item he’d placed earlier would still be waiting in the larger theater.

“Did you really have to pick the smallest theater in Miami?” Danni said as they approached the side door. “What if we get caught?”

“All they can do is kick us out,” Jaleen said as they hid between the theater and another building. “Around this time, an employee should come out here to dump the trash. If it’s the same guy who has worked the last couple nights, he’ll prop open the door, so that’s our window to rush in.”

“Are you insane?” Danni whispered, looking over her shoulder at the people in the distance. “You promised me a fantasy date, not an illegal date.”

“Being fed by your favorite chef was a fantasy. Besides, sneaking into an eight-dollar movie isn’t that big of a deal. We’ll be fine.”

On cue, the door was propped open and the employee went to take out the garbage. “Showtime,” Jaleen said as they sneaked through the door and hid in a darkened corner. Once the employee closed the door and went back to work, Jaleen held Danni close as they made their way to the movie theater. When they were in the clear, they blended in with the crowd in the lobby.

“See, that wasn’t so bad, right?” he asked.

“I guess not, but that was still nerve-racking.”

“Excuse me, sir,” a voice said from behind them. Jaleen watched Danni’s eyes widen in fear.

“May I help you?” Jaleen asked as he turned around. He held Danni’s hand, trying to ease her nerves.

“Can you take our picture?” the man asked as he and his companion pointed to a life-size advertisement for an upcoming movie.

Danni loosened her grip on his arm.

“Sure.” After snapping a few photos, he led Danni to the top corner of the movie theater. Luckily, no one had taken the seats nearest a wall fixture even though the movie was going to start soon. He lifted his hand to grab the bag he’d placed there.

“What are you doing?” she whispered.

“Getting this,” he said as he sat next to her and untied the bag of cheese-and-caramel popcorn. “I figured you may miss Garrett’s popcorn from Chicago, so I brought some down with me and hid a bag in this theater for us.”

She shook her head in disbelief. “I can’t express how much you’ve surprised me today,” Danni said, accepting the bag he handed her. “And, yes, I’ve missed Garrett’s since I’ve been here.”

She was still looking into his eyes as the movie started. He couldn’t read every emotion, but he read the most prominent one...gratitude.

I wish I could see this look in her eyes every day.

He tried to ignore the voice in the back of his mind but as she curled into his arm and dug into her popcorn, it was the only thought that remained.
