“…and I want popcorn,” Renee said, as we headed inside the movie theater.
I squeezed her hand. “Anything else, your highness?”
She shot me a grin. “Yeah, you could at least pretend to be happy about us going to the movies.”
I sighed. “I just don’t see the point. Anything they’re showing here, I can get on bootleg and we can watch at home in our theater. I could’ve had Rell’s ass go get us some damn popcorn and Twizzlers.”
“Rell is off tonight.”
“Yeah, because you said so.”
“Zo, you were skirting close to slave labor with him. Don’t you think the man deserves off days?”
“Doc, he doesn’t even work a full eight hours a day. He drives when we need him to, washes the cars once a week, and works the gate controls when needed, and we barely ever have company.”
“But he basically has to be ready to drive or answer the gate at all times, and let’s not mention how he has to be ready to go on any errand you think up at any time of the day or night.”
I shook my head. “You’re too soft-hearted, but that’s probably why you’re with my ass, so I won’t complain about it.”
We got our tickets to the latest Kevin Hart buddy cop comedy and moved to the back of one of the concession lines.
“Damn,” I mumbled, “look at all these people in here. We could’ve stayed at home and watched this same movie, naked, with my hand between your legs.”
“But the popcorn. You can’t beat movie theater popcorn,” she said, with a serious look on her face.”
I leaned in and kissed her, murmured, “Shit, Doc, I could pop some microwave popcorn and line it up on my pussy and eat for days.”
She smiled, and softly said, “You are so nasty.”
“You like it.”
“Yeah, but not enough to leave. Your antisocial ass is going to this movie.”
I groaned.
We had finally made it to the front of the line when I saw him—short, ugly as hell, standing there with some unfortunate woman. I stared him down, hoping he’d notice me. When Robert Mattison finally looked in my direction, I slowly smiled at him and then made a little lunging move in his direction. This fool actually jumped and yelled, “Ah!!!” Then he took off running, leaving his date behind. He ran into a whole family that had just entered the lobby, knocked down what looked to be the father.
All the commotion made Renee turn around, and say, “What in the world?”
I shrugged, my eyes on her ex, who’d fallen to the floor with the man he knocked down and was now scrambling to his feet. “I don’t know. Something going on by the doors.”
Popcorn in hand, she stared at the scene. “That looks like…never mind. You ready?”
I nodded as I leaned in to kiss her. “Yeah, baby. I’m actually looking forward to seeing this movie now.”

“Hurry, Zo! You dragging up these stairs knowing I got to pee! I should’ve just went downstairs.”
“Damn, I’m moving as fast as I can. Shit, I’m older and bigger than you, and you just expect my ass to hop up these stairs?”
I could hear her let out a loud sigh from behind me, and I smiled, stopped at the top of the stairs, and looked back at her.
“Zo, move your old ass out the way!”
I shook my head. “Not unless you kiss me first.”
