Movie Night

It had been a long hot day for my girlfriend and I. We were going to head home, when we meet two nice looking young men. The four of us talked for awhile, then they asked us to go to a movie that night. We said OK, call me at six so we could work out the details. My girlfriend had never been on a date, how were we going to get her out she exclaimed. Tell your mother the truth, we are going to a movie just do not say there will be four of us. It all seemed very simple to me. I picked her up, then the two young men. All was working great, off to the movie we would go. The movie was going great and everything was just fine. What a wonderful time we all were having. With his arm around her, he whispered into her ear, I am a married man. She dumped her soda into his lap. The movie and night came to an abrupt end. Date Written: 6/20/2021 True story. I was 17, she was 16 and the men were 20.

A very interesting story. It could have been worse if he had not revealed the truth though. Nicely written, dear Paula.
