Chapter 189: Movie Night! [R16]
[WARNING: The end of this chapter shows Cory touching Hailie under the waist without her consent, if you're not okay with it, please skip]
Since Gerald wasn't around this time, while we were enjoying the Castella, Hailie asked one of the butlers to pick her up to a taller chair so she could enjoy it more, because she was having trouble eating.
I took the opportunity to ask if I could try the chair, and yippie, she allowed me to! It was fun, it wasn't as a suffocating as I thought it was, but probably different if you have to spend a whole day in it.
I tried pushing my own wheels around the room and do a wheelie, but Eirlys fake-coughed to signal me that I've overdid my welcome.
After enjoying the castella (and giving half of it to the kitchen because I accidentally bought too much), I get to push Hailie and the three of us headed to the inhouse movie theatre.
"What are we going to watch?" I asked half-way there.
I found myself toying around with the task of pushing Hailie. Of course, I wouldn't put her in danger or make her worry, but I find that her wheelchair was sensitive like the wheels of the shopping carts.
I can just give her a little big push, let go of my hand, see her wheels started sliding, and sped up to stay right behind to catch her… It's really a fun thing to do with shopping carts that I could not explain to anyone who never done it before.
I tried searching with my foot if there was somewhere I could stand on and push both of us, but nope, apparently the designers of these wheelchairs weren't innovative enough.
"Oh! I want to watch Yes Man!" Hailie said cheerfully, just as I accidentally pushed a bit too hard, and she found herself being flung forward and her wheels spin 180 to face the two of us with a very confused, adoring expression followed with giggling.
"Cory…" Eirlys bonked me with her knuckles.
"Kekw, alright alright, I'll behave." I jogged up to grab the handles and pushed Hailie in the right direction again, "Yes Man, what's that? Sounds like a comedy."
"Ding ding ding ding ding! You're right, Cory!" Hailie seemed even more enthusiastic.
She told me she had been obsessed with Jim Carrey movies recently, loved every movie of him. I then asked her… Who Carrey? Never heard of him. Hailie said he played Truman Burbank from The Truman Show, I shook my head, not recognizing him, Bruce Almighty? Nope. The Mask? Kinda but nope, but then she said the christmas Grinch, and I let out a loud "oooouuuh"
That probably said something about me.
"Seems like a wacky guy" I said.
The in-house theater was tucked behind a pair of tall sliding doors covered in dark walnut veneer, these doors made a funny woosh sounds when opened so I hung around and opened it twice before continuing to walk
The moment we stepped inside, the temperature dropped to a pleasant coolness, the lights dimmed automatically to a warm amber glow, and the whole place smelled faintly of butter and new upholstery. Similar to big shots movie theatres! Just less wild on the butter smell.
The room itself curved inward like a half-bowl, with three rows of plush reclining seats arranged in a gentle arc around a screen roughly the size of a small house.
"Daangggggg, you really prepared thoroughly Eirlys!"
A maid came and handed us three boxes of popcorns and movie-like plastic cups with straws for a movie day, now we just gotta choose a seat among all options, I noticed freshly placed blanket on each seat, too.
"I can't stress the value that our staffs in provide in the Sonders' estate." She then shifted her attention towards the maid, "Mirinda… Can you get Gerald in here? Hailie'll need some assisstance getting into her seat."
"I am here, madam."
Gerald appeared just as the words left Eirlys, as if summoned by her command itself.
Eirlys nodded and chose a seat in the front row… Not like movie-theater front row where the view would require you to bend your neck until it dislocated, the seats were positioned quite nice.
I followed Eirlys and sat down right next to her.
Without another word, Gerald moved toward Hailie and picked her up gently by her armpits like lifting a baby. He's not visibly muscular, I'd say, but definitely packing some guns there.
Once Hailie was settled right next to me, we all put down our drinks in the cupholder, and popcorn somewhere on our lap.
That was when… I realized something.
Something horrifying.
Horrifyingly estatic, in fact.
I looked to my left; Eirlys Sonder.
I looked to my right; Hailie Sonder.
I was sandwiched.
Between the two snow-haired sister.
'AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH'
Is what I would screamed if I had no self control.
I pretended to casually sit back, but inside I was screaming into the cosmic void.
This was it, this was paradise… Hell nah, scratch that, this was the director's cut of paradise with bonus commentary.
DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA.
The amount sexual tension between a few horny adolescents in a movie theater setting?
Did you know on average every 2 screening would have at least one kiss and every 5 screening would have at least 2 genital-touching?
Yeah no, I made that statistic up.
I looked at the four corners of this room… No cameras.
The light dimmed, and the opening credits started playing as all the staffs including Gerald left the room.
But I didn't see any of the logos because I was concentrating on being a good Buddhist and meditate, to my path of reaching Zen and remove all earthly lustful temptation.
But then, oh dear fucking god… Hailie tilted her head, turned over at me with those shiny soft eyes, and slipped her hand into mine, whispering.
"Cory… Are you cold? You're shaking"
NO YOU'RE MAKING ME SHAKE EVEN MORE YOU INNOCENT LITTLE DOUJIN PROTAGONIST!
I've never heard her soft, itty bitty, reserved cutesy voice whispers before, so this was… Transcending.
"Ah no, not particularly… I'm fine um… Ahem, your hand's really warm, Hailie." I whispered back.
"Thanks, you too!"
The movie hadn't even started yet and I was already having a religious, out-of-body experience.
The movie started, but if one would know Cory Jay Smith, one would know that she was not focusing on ain't no movie about a bank loan officer exploring the possibilities of life when he was forced to say "yes" to ridiculous stuff like flying lessons, Korean lessons, instrument lesson, or giving his wallet to a random stranger
Spoiler alert for this 2008 movie by the way: all aforementioned thing he learned/did will inevitably came back to help him pick up a baddie because duh, Hollywood karma where good deeds actually come back to help you.
Half-way through the movie, somewhere along the lines of the main character… Whatever his name is; started saying Yes and getting regrets (Grandma scene).
Hailie was so entranced by the plot that she leaned forward, her mouth half-opened, and her eyes widened with great focus and enthusiasm. It was when my existing boner finally died down and she let loose of my hand and we stopped holding each other and my imaginary boner died down.
And that was when… My lust overcome my reason.
I took my eyes off the screen.
I looked left to Eirlys, who was smiling faintly, probably entertained by the slapstick comedy that was happening on screen. I took a deep breath and make a move that, looking back, should've warrant me being kicked out of the estate.
I put my hand, very gently, on Hailie's thigh through her skirt, using my peripheral vision to check if she reacted.
She didn't.
I applied a bit more pressure… And once again she did not move, she was still giggling at the screen and seemingly appaled by it.
I took a deep breath, and pray… Before gently, very gently… Put my hand lower to her knees, where the hem of her skirt was.
I rubbed my finger on her knee for a second, scratching it basically, to see if she felt anything.
And she didn't.
With that, I gained more confident, and slide my hand under her skirt.
But I stopped, because I needed to regain my breathing. So I pretended to stretch, putting my hands in front together and stretched forward, making sure both sisters saw my hands, they were doing nothing, I was trying to create an alibi for myself… Like, 'You saw it lads, I was stretching, my hands were to myself, nothing to see here!'
Then finally, I got the final push of courage to slide my hand under her skirt, up to her thigh, and placed it on it.
Before I could rejoice the sensation of violating a disabled person who was half the reason why I'm fed and clothed… I felt a sharp pain in my other hand, like someone was pinching my skin.
My left hand… And sitting on my left, was Eirlys sat.
'Oh god… Please no, please no, I'm sorry.' I told myself.
I immediately recoiled, begging that she didn't see anything, and that when she pinched me accidentally.
But when I turned around.
Eirlys Sonder was staring at me with wide eyes.
