Movie Night Madness extended preview

Movie Night Madness.

“Thirty bucks for a movie ticket?” Rachel threw her arms to the side. “What the bloody hell are you showing in there?”

The young movie attendant held up his hands. “Sorry, miss. We have to make ends meat just like you and your friend do.” He blinked his blue eyes and turned his attention towards Rachel’s fair-skinned friend. “You don’t have to see the movie.”

Nora slammed her fist down onto the glass desk. “That is absurd. This showing is for one night only. It is bad enough that you are not telling us what is being shown tonight; you have to make this super special show limited to one night.” She turned around and ran her hands through her short red hair. “It’s absurd; that is what it is.”

The young man shrugged his shoulders. “Hey, I don’t make the rules. Look do you two want to pay up or not. We will return to our usual lineup at five a. m. I am sure you two can wait that long, right?”

Rachel shook her head. “We are leaving to head back to California tomorrow morning.”

“Oh, I am so sorry. Well, why don’t you. . .”

Rachel slammed her pale hand onto the counter. “No. It’s quite alright. You don’t need to try and convince us to go anywhere else, my good man.” She turned her head towards Nora and winked her green eyes. “Isn’t that, right?”

“Huh?” Nora gulped. “Oh, right. Ya, we are going to see this movie no matter the cost. Even if we have to give up a limb.” She thrust her arm into the air. “For the sake of entertainment.”

Rachel took a step back. “I wouldn’t go that far. Sheesh.” She reached into her purse. “Tone it down.”

“Hey, look, I am excited, ok.” Nora laughed. “We have been couped up in that hotel room for the last two days while you have been on business calls. Doing what exactly?”

Rachel handed the money over to the movie attendant. “It isn’t really important.

Business stuff.”

“Well, I would like to know.” Nora tapped her fingers on the side of the counter. “As we couldn’t go out and have fun until the very last minute.” She winced as the phone in Rachel’s purse started to ring. “You have got to be kidding me.”

“Sorry.” Rachel pulled out her phone. “My bosses are a bit overzealous.” She raised the cell phone to her ear. “Hello? Yes, I am free. Why wouldn’t. . . Hey!” She narrowed her eyes as Nora snatched the phone out of her hand. “What are you doing?”

Nora raised the phone to her ear. “I am sorry, but Rachel can’t talk right now. There is a bit of an accident.” She closed the phone and laughed.

Rachel formed her hands into fists. “What the hell Nora. That was an important business executive with Fredricks Fancy. You don’t just say no to these people.”

“Well, we do for tonight.” Nora threw her arms out to the side. “Come on. Your endless business has already ruined most of your vacation. Don’t let it ruin our last chance before we have to go home and return to our downtrodden lives.”

“Nora. . .” She took a deep breath. “Fine. But after this movie, I am getting on hold with my associates and apologizing for your actions.” Rachel turned around. “We would like some popcorn, please.”

“Oh, and some taffy as well.”

Rachel sighed. “That too, I guess.”

The movie attended and nodded his head. “That will be an extra five bucks.”

Rachel turned her head. “You are paying for the concessions, Nora.”

“But. . .”

“Think of it as being even for making me hang up on my boss.” She took her popcorn. “Thank you, my good man.”

He smiled and waved at her. “Enjoy the show. I hope it’s to your liking.”

Rachel sighed. “I just knew what it was.” She turned around and walked away as Nora handed the young man some cash. “But I guess that is part of the fun, right?

Having a big surprise to greet us.”

Nora grabbed her goodies and rushed after Rachel. “Hey, wait up. Don’t go into the movie without me. I need to salt and butter my popcorn. Hey! Are you listening?”

***

Paul waited until the two young ladies were out of sight. He then pulled a cell phone out of his pocket and dialed an unknown number. A few moments later, someone picked up on the other end.

“What is it? Why are you calling me so early?”

Paul lowered his voice. “It worked, ma’am. We got some people to take the late-night screening despite them not knowing what they would be in for.”

“Of course, it would work. Why did you doubt it would work?”

Paul scratched at his arm. “It seemed a bit odd to me, ma’am. I just couldn’t fathom why. . .”

“You have to believe more if you are going to work for Pink Moon Emporium? Ugh, no, I don’t know if I like that name either.”

“Ma’am?”

“Sorry. Starting a business is hard. However, my business associate has done a great job with his name and. . . forget it, why am I talking to you about this. Ugh, remind me why you even called me in the first place? I was working mixing some new tonics here.”

“One of the ladies that is going to see the film is from Fredricks Fancy.”

“Fredrick’s what now?”

“You are kidding; you haven’t heard of them? Big well, anything you can think of.

Sports drinks, a cereal brand, chocolate. Ugh, the list goes on. But it’s been rumored their products cause people to alter in size.”

“My products do that guaranteed. And so much more. It’s not a fucking rumor. Don’t waste my time with this, and stick to the plan. Show them the movie. Let them have a good time, so good that they will be a bit “enhanced.” Then I can try and market my new product, one that I didn’t steal. Then I, Vess, will be a known name in the markets.”  She paused.  “But you need to make sure this goes off without a hitch. Get to it and prove to me why I bothered paying you in the first place.”

“Yes, ma’am.”

“And get off the line. I have an important call in a few minutes to ensure I have no connection to your theatre. If something does go wrong, people will not know it was me.”  She laughed as she hung up.

He sighed. “Well, I better hope nothing goes wrong then.”

Rachel waved Nora over. “Over here.” She smiled as her friend worked her way over and slumped down. “Looks like we are the first ones here.”

Nora looked back and forth. “That is a bit odd. I would have guessed more people would have been here by now.” She held her watch up. “It is only what? Five minutes before the movie starts. Where is everyone?”

Rachel sat back and sighed. “Hey, I doubt everyone wants to pay an exorbitant fee to get in. Remember, it was thirty bucks.” She laughed. “I think they have better sense than we do.”

Nora laughed. “Well, that is why I get my friend to pay for me. I get to see the expensive movie without much issue.”

Rachel laughed. “Well, don’t feel too bad. I am using the funds of my company to see this.” She lowered her voice. “Don’t tell the higher-ups at Fredricks Fancy. They would be furious.”

“Oh, trust me. I wouldn’t know where to find anyone who works at Fredricks Fancy in the first place.” Nora threw her head back and laughed. “Well, besides you, of course, Rachel. I know where I can find you in a heartbeat.”

Rachel gulped as the screen flared to life. “I guess no one else is showing up.”

“I guess not.” Nora pulled out her phone. “But no one to say we can’t have these out, right?”

Rachel narrowed her eyes. “Put that away. You will have to wait until you are truly alone for that nonsense, Nora.”

“But. . . huhhhgh.” She slid the phone back into her purse. “Spoilsport. Why can’t you just have fun and take advantage of this golden opportunity.”

“I. . .” Rachel looked at the screen. “Oh, bloody hell, the movie is already starting.”

“No previews?” Nora put her hands behind her head and leaned back. “I could get used to that. Watch previews online and just come here for the main course. What a good idea.” She winced as Rebecca jabbed her in the side. “Oww. What was that for?”

“Quiet. I am trying to watch.”

Nora threw her arms to the side. “There isn’t much to watch right now. All that is on screen is some big-breasted lady walking around a town.”

Rachel nodded her head. “I know. It is really cool, right.” She watched as the woman on screen took each long step, her breasts swaying back and forth. “It’s almost hypnotic.”

“I. . . oh wow. I see what you mean.”

Rachel watched as the figure on the screen started to do a little dance, feeling something strange well up inside of her. “Ohh, what this lacks in substance, it makes up for in feeling.” She felt her heart pound. “So much feeling.”

Suddenly the woman on screen walked into a massive stone building and slipped on a tight latex bunny suit. Sweat dripped down Rachel’s neck as she watched. “Oh wow, that is so hot. I . . . almost feel like I am there.”

“I know what you mean. It feels so weird.” They watched the lady in the playboy bunny outfit hop around for a bit before the screen finally shut off. Afterward, Rachel and Nora shook their heads and snapped back to reality. “What just happened? I zoned out.”

“I don’t know.” Rachel scratched at her chin. “Weren’t we waiting for the movie to start?” She tapped her hand on the armrest of her chair. “I wonder how long that will be still.”

Nora took a bite out of her popcorn. “It better start soon. I am ready for some heart-pumping action.” She jumped to her feet and kicked the air in front of her. “Hihiah.”

Rachel shook her head. “Not everything is an action film, you know.”

Nora crossed her arms and looked away. “And you don’t have to fit into the stereotypical chick flick. Ugh.”

Rachel rubbed her face. “It is a good thing there is no one else here right now to hear this fight.” She took a deep breath. “I like chick flicks; what is your problem with that?”

“Oh, no problem. Expect that I think you should have moved on from them when you were ten!”

“I. . .” Rachel moaned as her body started to tense up.

“Oh, did you realize I am right, and you were wrong?” Nora laughed. “What a happy day indeed.

“No.” Rachel hugged herself. “I am sweltering and weird.” Her nipples hardened and pressed against her shirt. “Ughgh.”

Nora raised an eyebrow. “Umm, what is going on? You are not having a delayed orgasm from seeing that movie attendant?” She sighed as Rachel moaned. “I can understand a bit if you are. He has his looks, I guess. But if you are going to feel this way, you should do so in front of him. Not well. . .”

Rachel looked up. “What are you talking about? Do you have any idea what an orgasm looks like?”

“Well, of course, I do. . .” Her face turned red. “Why wouldn’t I.” She sneered at Rachel. “Look, we are talking about you and your growing boobies.”

Rachel raised an eyebrow. “Boobies. Why did you call my breasts boobies?”

“I what?” Nora held her hands over her lips. “I didn’t mean to. Let me try again.” She took a deep breath. “Boobi. . .” Her eyes widened. “No, that is not how you say it. Ughh!” She shook her head. “Look it like doesn’t matter what we call them, ok. They are swelling like balloons.”

Rachel looked down at her chest and gasped. “Oh, gawd. What is going on.” She winced as her blouse tightened on her chest. “Like fuck sakes.”

Nora giggled. “They are all big and bouncy now.”

Rachel crossed her arms. “Don’t laugh now slut. Your chest is expanding as we speak.”

Nora giggled. “Like ya, right.” She threw her hand out. “Like an absurd thing could ever happen to. . .” She looked down at her chest to see her t-shirt slowly push itself outward. “Like, oh my gawd. What is happening?”

Rachel shrugged. “Well, when you. . .”

Nora’s eyes lit up. “I like love it.”

“Huh?”

Nora jumped to her feet. “Like, don’t you?”

Rachel scratched at the side of her head. “I like think there is a screw loose in that head of yours.”
