478: A MOVIE

A MOVIE

"Where are we going?" Hope was very giddy. She didn't look like a girl who just broke up with her boyfriend.2

Probably, Hope didn't think of Oliver as her boyfriend at all and didn't feel guilty either because that boy had seen and treated her wrongly.

"How about a movie?" Kace raised his eyebrows questioningly. "Or, do you have something in that pretty little head of yours?" He tousled her hair and enjoyed the moment when Hope's expression turned unsightly as she slapped his upper arm.

"Don't mess with my hair." She pouted cutely and this only made Kace laugh, he was very happy now. "Hm! Going to movies? Cool!"

"Check what movies are playing in the Kingstone city." Kace gave her his phone as his eyes focused on the road ahead.

Kingstone city was the closest city to mystic river village and since the small village didn't have a theater, the only way to watch a movie was by going to the Kingstone city.

The ride between the two places would take around half an hour by car.

"What genre do you prefer?" Hope took the phone and started to search what kind of movies were playing now.

"I am fine with all genres." Kace shrugged his shoulders. Actually he wasn't into watching a movie, but teenagers like Hope, would usually go on a date to watch one, thus Kace too wanted to experience it with Hope.

"Thriller." Hope saw one of the posters that picked her interest. "I want to see a thriller movie."

"Are you sure?" Kace glanced at the girl beside him. "A thriller movie for our first date?"

"Why not?" Hope beamed at her choice of movie. "We need some adrenaline!"

"What an absurd reason." Kace chuckled. "Thriller movie it is."

After that, Hope spent her time until they reached the Kingstone city by singing at the top of her lungs. Her voice was not really harmonious and she often missed the tone, but Kace enjoyed it nonetheless.

Kace glanced at Hope for more than a dozen times since they got into the car. The girl was wearing a blue tee shirt and pared it with a white skirt, which was ten centimeter bellow her knees.

She was so cute with her hair that was tied up into a messy bun.

"White and blue, huh?" Kace grinned as he teased her. "Is that to represent me?" His blue eyes and his white beast.

However, Hope didn't answer his question. She just pulled out her tongue and made a face. "Don't be so cocky!"

After that, she sang again, not caring about her surroundings, as she felt very happy now.

============== 

Inside the theatre, Kace and Hope looked like most of the couples around them; holding hands, teasing each other and smiling most of the time.

Kace was sure there was no one who knew them there. It was very rare for the people from the village to go to this city, as they would prefer to go to Iloned city, which was bigger than this and only took ten minutes longer.

Hope didn't know why, but she really enjoyed these moments and felt very comfortable with Kace beside her. Probably because she had known this man all her life.

It felt very natural to be with Kace, holding hands, talking and everything as if they had been a couple for years.

With iced chocolate and a small box of popcorn in her hands, and a handsome guy beside her, Hope walked into the theatre happily.

This moment was very perfect!

Until she heard a woman's voice calling Kace's name.

There were many kinds of women, but this particular one, who was now approaching them with her slender legs and full breasts was the kind that Hope disliked the most.

"It really is you." The woman's curly chestnut- colored hair tumbled around her shoulders as she walked forward. Beside her, there was a man as tall as Kace.

"Abby." Kace acknowledged the woman curtly as he pulled Hope closer to him, which automatically drew the woman's attention toward her. "Leon." This time, Kace grinned when he greeted the man behind the woman named Abby.

"What are you doing here?" Leon raised his eyebrows, amused with this sudden encounter.

"Dating my girl." Kace nodded at Hope, diverting the limelight onto her head as he smiled proudly.

"This is the girl…" Leon's hazel eyes traveled to the girl beside Kace. "Time really flies, she has come to the age that you can date her now."

Abby tilted her head as she scrutinized the girl in front of her and Hope really didn't like the way she stared at her, which she reciprocated with a cynical smile.

"What are the two of you doing here?" Kace knew Hope was uncomfortable with this situation. "I thought you were in the southeast."

"There will be a coven in the north and every witch is invited." Abby replied to Kace's question. "And he wanted to come with me, since it had been years since the last time he came to the north." She tilted her head toward Leon.

Hope was at a loss with this conversation, as she didn't have any idea what they were talking about right now.

However, she hated it every time Abby answered Kace's question, though those questions were not directed at her.

It was clear to see that Kace didn't want to talk to Abby, but this woman turned blind a eye to every sign that Kace was giving to her.

Such an annoying person…

"Kace," Hope tugged his sleeves, "The movie is about to start."

"We will go first then," Kace directed his words at Leon.

But then, Abby had Kace's ticket in her hands. "Oh, this your seat number." She raised the ticket.

"Give it back to me." Kace talked solemnly, but his eyes flickered with the color of red.

Leon, who saw this situation, immediately snatched the ticket from Abby's hands and returned it back to Kace.

"Our seats are right next to you, why don't we go together." And all of a sudden, from empty air, Abby conjured up two tickets with seat numbers that were just next to Kace and Hope's. "Shall we go?"
