Jeanne’s Pov:
We walked into the breathtaking cinema and I gasped as I looked around.
This was my first time here and it was beautiful.
Molly held my hand as she walked beside me while I walked beside Alex who’s guards were behind us.
Immediately the people around noticed us – Alex – they all got excited.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
Whaaat? It’s loverboy Alex!
Oh, my God! Are you kidding me?
If not for the guards behind him, I’m sure they’d have all been crowding him by now.
Alex…
Alex…
They all couldn’t stop saying his name as they also started taking pictures of him.
We went over to the receptionists who also became excited.
“Good evening, sir.
“Good evening ma’am. We’re glad you’re here” one of the ladies said with a wild smile.
“Yeah. We’re here to watch Elena of Avatar” Alex replied and looked at Molly.
“It’s not Avatar, Alex. It’s Avaldor” she said and he shrugged and looked back at the receptionist.
“Oh, sir. I’m sorry, but that was shown yesterday; not today” she replied and Molly flinched.
“What?” She shrieked.
“But Chloe told me it would be shown today. She’s such a liar”.
She sighed despondently.
Woah!
So we just came all the way here for nothing?
“Well…I guess we should be on our way then” Alex told her and she huffed.
“Uhm…but sir, we do have a lot of interesting movies to watch over here. You can take a look” the receptionist said and gave us a list of the available movies.
Alex went through them briefly and passed the list to me.
“I’m not a fan of movie. What do you think?” He asked and I ran my eyes through the list.
I can’t believe he’s asking me to make the chose.
“Uhm…The divorce” I said and pointed to it.
“That sounds boring. Who’s planning a divorce among you two?” Molly asked and the receptionist laughed.
“I’m sorry, pretty. But we don’t have any kid shows tonight. You can only find them during the day time” she said and molly and molly groaned.
Then, Alex booked our tickets and we moved over to the food section.
Each of us carried what we wanted.
Molly took some popcorn, sausages, biscuits and limca drink.
I took some popcorn and a bottle of coke. While Alex just collected a bottle of coke as well.
One of his guards stayed behind to pay for everything while we proceeded to the movie hall.
“I love you, Alex!” Someone shouted from the crowd and he turned back to see who it was, but couldn’t spot her from the crowd.
He just smiled and waved at the crowd and we continued on our way.
Wow! I wonder what it feels like being a celebrity.
We walked into the enormous movie hall which had almost been filled up and found our way to the back to get a seat.
The people who we already there couldn’t believe seeing Alex in the same hall with them.
Hah! Oh, my gee! It’s Alex!”
Gosh! Do celebrities always receive such treatments each time they’re in public places?
Alex, Molly and I went to the backback while one of his guards followed us in and sat behind us.
Almost all the people there kept turning back to look at us until a computerised voice spoke from the speakers:
*quiet, please. Movie in progress*
I noticed Alex heaved a huge sigh of relief and finally, the lights went off and the movie started. Just the bright light from the TV reflected in the room. And the sound systems were superb.
Wow! Now I’ve known the difference between watching a movie from the cinema and watching at home. I’ve always thought it was a waste of time and money.
people who came with snacks started eating from theirs and molly didn’t hesitate to open hers as well.
She consumed the sausage and went for the biscuits immediately and next, the drink. . The popcorn was the last thing she ate with relishment.
I also opened my popcorn and coke and started eating with courtesy.
Alex just opened his coke and sipped from it and that was it. He didn’t touch it again.
The whole place was quiet and just the sound of the movie could be heard. I leaned properly on my seat and tried concentrating on the movie.
At the start of it, it was noted it was written and produced by Faith Lucky. I think I’ve heard of that lady before.
It seemed interesting.
It was a story of two young couples who married forcefully because they were betrothed to each other.
They didn’t really want it, but their hands were tied since their families willed them to it.
The boy’s name was Robin. And the girl’s name was Andrea.
Robin hated it to the core that he was forced to get married to Andrea because he had someone else whom he loved. He always saw her as a bad luck and wished he wasn’t with her.
And Andrea…she didn’t entirely like the idea of getting married to Robin, but she liked him.
A part of her was happy she ended up with someone like him and she prayed someday, he’d get to like her.
She fell in love with him.
She badly wanted to be the perfect wife, but her work kept getting in her way.
She was an accountant and barely had time for herself, nor her family.
It pained her a lot but Robin didn’t seem to care much about it.
They remained married for five years and Robin only made love to her once in a blue moon.
One day, one terrible day, she found out a disastrous secret; something she wished she didn’t have to know.
It shattered her life; her dreams, although, they didn’t let the secret known to us at that moment and it got everyone kind of curios.
She returned home, frazzled to tell her husband about it. But to her greatest surprise, she caught him having s*x with a lady right on their matrimonial bed.
Geez! What kind of a husband is this?
I turned and looked at Molly and she had placed her tiny head on Alex’s shoulder.
Ah!
Definitely she’ll be asleep within the twinkle of an eye.
