y o u are not ALONE [ashley]

[Ashley Palmer]

Ashley rolled her eyes at the girl behind the kiosk as Theo
bought the tickets, and ordered the goodies. She gave
the girl a sneer as they moved past the kiosk, and into
the cinema. The main lobby wasn't too crowded. Ashley
ticked her gaze to the various movie posters hanging from
the walls.

She shivered slightly. She wondered why they always
blasted the A/C full force in movie theatres. This was as
close to Antartica they would get. She rubbed her arms,
wishing she had worn something a little less skin baring.
She followed Theo into the screening room. It wasn't very
crowded, which is how she liked it. Too many people equaled
too much noise, which would give her a headache.

Following Theo to the middle back row, Ashley took a seat
in one of the plush theatre seats. She sat back, resting her
foot on the back of the seat in front of her, which was
unoccupied. Her tan skin glowing in the light coming from
the screen. She smiled at Theo. "I heard this movie got good
reviews." she told him.

She turned to the screen as the previews began. Ashley liked
seeing previews to upcoming movies. She got annoyed when
she didn't have a chance to see them, to miss them. But now
she watched the screen, still highly aware of the guy that sat
beside her.

[Theo Spencer]

Theo didn't mind the cool temperature of the screen, as he settled himself into his seat. He was dressed appropriately and so it would only be his arms that would really feel the chill. He watched as she rested her foot on the back of the seat in front. He would have done that had he have not been so tall; it would really be uncomfortable. "Yeah I heard it's meant to be funny. I'm glad its pretty empty. Can't be assed with lots of inappropriate laughing. Like I hate it when you come to the movies and maybe your making out, and some kids laugh and stuff. You can guarentee in a few years it'll be them making out." He shrugged a smirk on his face.

He noted how she was rubbing her arms, presumably from the cold. Her attention diverted to the screen as the previews came on. Theo leaned in closer to her and whispered in her ear. "You cold?" He asked curiously, he wouldn't mind her leaning into him or anything, it was afterall the type of things a friend would do. "You can steal my heat if you need to." He commented, before sitting back and drawing his attention back to the screen. He laughed slightly at the sequence he observed, a smile present on his lips.

The next advert was for something a little more raunchy. "You ever had sex in the cinema?" He asked curiously, his eyebrow raised as his eyes remained on the screen. "Actually I'll rephrase that, what's the weirdest place you've had sex?" She was his friend right? And friends shared secrets. He smirked thinking of his night when he'd had sex in the cinema. He was, like most guys, sexually orientated and he was rather an exhibitionist. Not that he enjoyed having sex when people were there; no far from it. He enjoyed having meaningful intimate sex but he was pretty much game for trying anything once.

[Ashley Palmer]

Ashley raised a perfectly plucked eyebrow at Theo's
question, her eyes still on the giant screen before them.
His question was rather blunt, she found. But it was an
interesting one, to say the least. The corner of her red
lips curled upward in a mischevious smirk.

"Who says I've had sex?" she said to Theo, ticking her
large green eyes over to him. Ashley wondered if she
looked that innocent, or not. Just because she was a prep,
and popular, did that mean people came to the conclusion
that she wasn't a virgin? Which she wasn't.

Ashley had lost her virginity at fourteen. That was just
three years ago. She had lost it to someone who had
meant a lot to her. It had been the perfect first time,
she remembered. With romantic music, and candlelight.
But that was of the past.

"I'm just kidding." she told Theo, off his look. The most
interesting place she had had sex.."In a stall at Myers
nightclub." she told him with a laugh. She could feel herself
blushing, but whatever. It was her first time telling anyone
that, and she wondered what Theo would say about it.
Probably make some dirty joke.

"We were really, really drunk, and he followed me into
the ladies' room. And I pulled him into the stall, and then,
yeah you can guess what happened." she said with another
laugh escaping her lips.

"How about you?" she asked him curiously. If she had to
answer his question, he had to answer her's as well.

[Theo Spencer]

Theo watched out of the corner of his eye, and he laughed slightly, ”Well I’ve heard rumours. And I doubt you are a virgin. I have quite good intuition.” He smirked, although he hoped she didn’t get offended. He knew she had had sex because he listened and talked to the guys in the locker room after practice. ”It would be kind of like saying I was a virgin… which I’m not.” He smiled jokingly.

Theo had lost his virginity when he was sixteen. It had been planned, and then he’d regretted it. He thought he’d loved the girl, but he was young and naïve and it was the first time he’d officially been used. The girl had dated him and almost manipulated him because he was on the football team. It was quite sad really but since then he has never fallen for it again. He only sleeps with people he cares about, or people he uses.

He raised his eye brow as she’d admitted her sex place. ”Yeah? I’ve had sex in the VIP bar there, with one of the bar girls.” He smirked he was actually quite proud of the fact since he’d caused a bit of a ruckus having had the VIP bar closed. The VIP’s certainly hadn’t been pleased. The lights in the cinema faded and so Theo couldn’t see her blush. ”I didn’t really think about you as an exhibitionist.” He shrugged coolly.

Theo paused for a moment, and then laughed, ”You initiated it? Nice.” He chuckled quietly as the film began. He thought about where the weirdest place he’d had sex was. ”Well… I’ve had sex in school, in the club, in a bed, in the graveyard… I would like to conquer Michael Myers house. But I guess I’d have to find someone brave.” He laughed shrugging his shoulders, ”Most of the weird places have been when I was in a relationship. I like to… experiment a bit.”

[Ashley Palmer]

Ashley shivered at the mention of the Myers house. She
hardly ever drove by there anymore. Or went anywhere
near it. That, to her, was the haunted house that every
small town seemed to have. Usually those haunted houses
were based on rumors, tall tales to keep the kids in check.
Whereas with the Myers house, it was all fact. It was a
house with a blood soaked past.

Yet something was tugging at Ashley's mind. An idea. She
looked over to Theo, her eyes shining in the light projecting
from the screen. "I have an idea." she told him, a secretive
smirk playing on her lips. "I've never been inside the Myers
house." she explained, licking her lips in anticipation.

"Wouldn't be a thrill to like, explore the place?" she asked
Theo, leaning in close to him. She had heard how kids had
dared each other to step foot into the house, yet they were
usually too scared to do so. They usually got as far as the
front porch, and then they would turn on their heels and
scatter. Ashley wondered what the house was like inside.
What had been left in there, within its crumbling walls.

"What do you say? Do you dare to spend some time inside
the Myers house with me?" she asked Theo, leaning in even
more closer to him. So close that he could smell the vanilla
scent that wafted off her tan skin. Her bright red lips curled
upwards in a Cheshire Cat-like grin.

"Or are you scared?" she teased, her hand coming up behind
him, resting on the back of his neck where she ran her fingers
lightly along the skin, before pulling away with a soft giggle.
Her hands resting in folded in her lap.

[Theo Spencer]

Theo smirked slightly as she shivered as he mentioned the Myers house. To him it was a place of mystery, and the tales surrounding it seemed so proposertous he couldn't really tell if it were true or not. He'd been in the walls of the house on numerous occassions, and he was familiar with the stale stench the walls portrayed. The foisty damp aroma held inside of your nostrills hoping to tease you to come back for more.

To Theo the house was an abandoned family home that had been destroyed by alienation and fear. He cocked an eyebrow as she began to explain her idea. He'd missed the beginning of the film. The beginning opening sequence was always the most crucial part. He guessed he'd just have to wait for it to come out on dvd. He nodded as she told him she'd never been in the house. It didn't surprise him, not many people had. It wasn't really somewhere where people ventured freely or often.

Theo smirked amusedly at her trail of thought, "I guess." He stated his head leaning to the side slightly. "Are you actually proposing that we have sex in there? I didn't actually expect you to set out to complete my sexual fantasy." He laughed sarcastically, rolling his eyes as someone in the theatre told him to shhhhhhhh.

He shrugged his shoulders coolly, "Sure if you want. I'm not scared of the place." He smiled triumphantly, of course he wasn't about to tell her that he'd been before. His galliant bravery was worth much more than that. As her fingers ran across the skin on the back of his neck he laughed as it tickled her skin. "Sure. Lets go. It's not like your even watching this film." He motioned, nodding towards the exit.
