All I really wanted to do was to take Donna back to my hotel, kiss every square inch of her skin and then fuck her senseless, and instead we were on our way to the most inane sounding art event in world history.
"It's a double bill of 300 and 500 Days of Summer." I said, dumbfounded, repeating back to her what she'd just told me.
"Yeah, my friend Evan has this film series going, and I have to go support him, at least put in an appearance," Donna said. She had met me at LAX, and we were taking my rental car downtown, to the arts center she worked at, rather than towards my hotel.
"Those are two of my least favorite movies ever. Why are they showing those two?"
"My friend Evan runs this double bill project, where every Tuesday he shows two movies on a theme. This time the theme is numbers. This is like the 9th one, I think. He started with One Fine Day and Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels."
"That is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. What was next, The Three Musketeers? Or Three Women? The Three Amigos?"
"It was Three Ninjas," Donna informed me. "And Four Rooms."
"Tell me that's a joke."
"Nope, Three Ninjas."
"Ugh." A long pause. "Wait, why can't we at least watch The 400 Blows? That comes between 300 and 500."
"Cause this isn't bougie like that. No French new wave, all Hollywood bullshit."
"So I take it he skipped Fellini's 8 1/2."
"Yeah, it was Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, and Eight Legged Freaks."
"This is the dumbest idea in the world."
She grinned: "Welcome to Hollywood!"
Donna looked so luscious in the dress she was wearing. I knew she preferred jeans, she'd told me so in one of our many chats online, or on the phone, but today she was in this dress that I just wanted to tear off of her.
She directed me towards her work, and we found parking nearby. It was a bland commercial building that had a small auditorium up front, and Donna showed me her office, up a flight of stairs. We made awkward small talk, and it occurred to me that she was just as disappointed with having to attend the movie, rather than be back at the hotel as I was. She fidgeted, checking her phone.
"I think it's time for the movie." She took my hand and led me downstairs. It was the first time we'd ever touched. Her hand was soft and electric.
We took seats near the back. Donna pointed out her friend; he had thick owl rimmed glasses, with no glass in the rims, and distinctly artisanal facial hair.
"Hello everyone, welcome to Movies by the Numbers IX." He said 'eye-ex,' a hipster affectation that had me rolling my eyes. "Thank you all so much for coming. Next week we conclude our program with 20,000 Leagues under the Sea and 50,000 BC. Without further ado, I present.... an oiled up Gerard Butler!" People laughed and applauded wildly. I sighed in resignation. I felt 300 years older than everyone else in the room, even as I was exactly the same as as everyone else in attendance. The room darkened suddenly - clearly this was not meant to be a theatre, it had no simmer switch - and 300 started playing.
I gritted my teeth and let the opening ridiculity wash over me, the nonsense I could hardly follow, something about being abandoned to be killed by wolves, and then somehow parlaying that experience into becoming a king. I couldn't follow it, not least because I kept staring at Donna's legs, making me want to just kneel down on the floor of the theatre, nestle my face between her legs and...
Wait! Why wasn't I doing that? I looked around, saw no one in our row, and moved my hand, boldly to Donna's thigh, holding her in my strong hands, caressing the insides of her leg lightly. She briefly tried to push my hand away, but I was stronger, and she wasn't trying very hard, so eventually her hand just rested upon mine, as I stroked the softness of her inner thigh. I could feel the muscles in her leg relax, under my fingers, and her breath become deeper, and slightly ragged. She wouldn't look at me, she was facing straight ahead, not daring to look down at our twined hands. I massaged her for a minute, relaxing her, easing her into the moment. I heard her breath get slow and deep, something I recognized from one of our many phone sessions, the sound she made as she drifted deeper into one of our many shared fantasies, I made my move.
I kept my hands on her thigh, still stroking, caressing, and extended my pinky, my hand making the same shape someone would when daintily holding a teacup. My hand, strong and smooth on her thigh, and my erect pinky, pressing directly onto her panties, rubbing her right over her clit.
She took a sharp intake of breath, and looked around wildly for a moment, making sure no one was paying attention. Then she slowly slumped slightly in her seat, pressing her pussy firmer against my circling finger.
I grinned madly.
My finger kept its slow steady circles, tracing a pattern on the front of her silky panties. Donna's hips made subtle jinks, rubbing her pussy against me. I could feel a bead of moisture through the fabric. I leaned over, brushed her neck lightly with my lips and whispered to her:
"You are going to lead me upstairs, find a quiet corner, and I am going to pull your panties aside and lick you until you come all over my face." The beginnings of a moan slipped from her lips, until she caught herself. She straightened up in her chair and looked at me to see if I was serious. I met her gaze. She got up, and we silently fled the theatre, and found the stairway.
