Chapter 395: In the Queue

We sat at the last seat like nothing had happened. The movie had reached its intermission, and people were slowly getting up and leaving the auditorium. Some were talking about buying popcorn or soda, while others headed to the washroom. The lights in the theatre had turned on a little, making everything brighter and more normal again.

"Phewwww..." Aeri stretched her legs out in front of her and let out a loud exhale. She looked tired but happy, leaning back in her seat with a small smile on her face.

"You look tired, girl. Is everything okay?" I asked, reaching over and gently brushing her hair to the side of her face.

"Tch..." she expressed, curling her lips and giving me a hard gaze. She knew exactly why she was tired — from all the sex we had just had in the dark corner of the theatre.

"Hehe, just kidding, I know, I know," I said quickly, raising my hands a little to calm her down before she could pull my cheeks again. I gave her an innocent smile, trying to look sorry.

"Good," she said in a straightforward tone, crossing her arms but still smiling a little.

People were leaving the rows slowly, chatting and laughing as they walked toward the exits. A few kids ran ahead excitedly, while couples held hands and talked about the movie so far. The theatre felt alive and busy during the 15-minute break.

"Should we also go?" I asked, looking at Aeri.

"Yeah, please. I want to wash myself a bit," Aeri said, picking up her small handbag and standing up from her seat.

"Yeah, me too," I replied, sighing as I stood up along with her. "Let’s buy something to eat as well."

"Sure, let’s go," she said, nodding and looking back at me with a soft smile.

We both walked together side by side down the steps and out of the auditorium. Our shoulders bumped slightly every now and then, but we didn’t care. It felt nice and natural to be close like this. The hallway outside was crowded with people standing in lines for snacks and drinks. The smell of fresh popcorn and sweet sodas filled the air, making my stomach rumble a little.

I hummed a happy song under my breath, feeling all light and content as we moved with the crowd. After everything that had happened — the hospital, the worries, and the intense moments in the theatre — this simple evening out with Aeri felt really good. She walked beside me, her short white skirt swaying with each step, and her hand brushed against mine a few times.

"You seem very happy for some reason," Aeri said, hitting me lightly with her shoulder as we came out of the theatre. The cool evening air felt nice after the warm, stuffy auditorium. People were walking around us, some heading to the snack counter, others chatting about the movie.

"I have many reasons to be happy, you know," I replied, wrapping my arm around her shoulders and pulling her close. I leaned in and kissed her cheek softly, feeling her soft skin against my lips.

"Shh... now... don’t start it again," she said, giggling and pushing me away gently. Her cheeks turned a little pink, and she looked around to make sure no one was watching us too closely.

"Yes, yes," I said, laughing along with her. I raised my hands innocently, but I couldn’t stop smiling.

"Go now and get something to eat. I’ll be right back from the washroom," she said, gesturing toward the food counter with her hand.

"Alright, miss," I replied, giving her a low bow like a servant. She rolled her eyes but smiled as she walked toward the ladies’ washroom.

I headed to the popcorn counter, but the line was long. People were standing patiently, chatting and looking at the menu boards. "The queue will take a lot of time," I thought to myself. I decided to go to the washroom first instead.

I walked over to the men’s washroom and stepped into a cubicle. *Prrr* I started peeing, and my mind suddenly flashed back to the sex I had just had with Aeri in the theatre. The memory of her riding me, her moans, and how good it felt made me smirk to myself.

"Hehe..." I chuckled quietly, lost in the thought.

The old man in the next cubicle glanced over and saw me laughing alone. I felt a little embarrassed and quickly coughed. "Cough* cough*" I straightened myself up and finished quickly.

"Sighh..." I sighed as I came out of the washroom, brushing the back of my hair with my hand. The lobby was still busy with people moving around during the intermission. I looked around for Aeri, but I didn’t see her yet. "Is Aeri back?" I thought, scanning the crowd near the washroom area.

I stood there for a moment, waiting. The theatre lobby smelled of fresh popcorn and sweet drinks. Bright lights shone from the snack counters, and the big posters of upcoming movies hung on the walls. People laughed and talked excitedly about the first half of the film. I felt happy and content after the intense time we had shared in the dark theatre. Aeri had looked so beautiful and wild on top of me, and the memory made me smile again.

Finally, I saw her coming out of the washroom. She looked fresh, her hair a little neater, and her cheeks still had that soft glow. She spotted me and walked over with a small smile.

"Got the food yet?" she asked, tilting her head.

"Not yet. The line was too long, so I went to the washroom first," I replied, taking her hand gently. "Let’s go together now."

She nodded and held my hand as we joined the snack line. The queue moved slowly, but we didn’t mind. We talked about the movie so far, laughing at the dramatic scenes and guessing what would happen next. Aeri leaned against my arm, her shoulder touching mine comfortably.

Even with all the people around us, it felt like it was just the two of us. The evening was turning out better than I had expected. After the stressful days, this normal, happy time with Aeri felt like a gift. I squeezed her hand gently, and she squeezed back, smiling up at me.
