The Stalker

Chapter 12

A couple of days past and after another show the cast went back to the busses, but not before they took pictures with the fans, that waited outside. There were a lot of fans outside, all wanting to take a picture or getting an autograph. While Sharna was taking a picture with a fan, her phone rang and she checked the screen, it was an anonymous caller and Sharna hung up. While she walked back to the bus, she realized that in the last couple of days, that anonymous caller had called her more often. With that still in mind she got into the bus and sat down.

“Hey Shar, did you hear me?” Val asked, while he sat down next to Sharna.
“No, sorry. I didn’t hear you. What did you ask?”
The rest of the cast also got in the bus and Val decided not to answer that question yet and wait for the others to get back to their bunks.

On most evenings Val and Sharna tried not to be to annoying for their friends. They went on dates together and when they stayed in the bus, mostly because they didn’t have time to go on a date, they took into account the feeling of their friends.

Tonight they wanted to watch a movie, they was everyone but Sharna and Val, but they didn’t say anything. The bus was made ready to watch a movie.

Sharna whispered in Val’s ear: “What did you want to ask me?”
“I wanted to ask what you were doing on your phone. You were completely drawn into it.”
Before Sharna could respond, Val continued: “But that is not important right now. You know what I want. I want to watch a movie with you close to me. Tonight I don’t care about the others. I’m going to show them how much I love you.”

Sharna was glad she didn’t need to respond to Val’s question. She wanted to tell him about the anonymous caller, but she didn’t want him to worry. Which he would definitely do.

There were blankets and cushions on the ground. There was more space on the ground, and that way everyone could join in to watch the movie. The rest was already seated and Val assumed that they all thought Val and Sharna would sit apart, because they did the other time. But tonight Val guided Sharna to the couch, where they would lay a little higher than the rest and wouldn't be disturbed during the movie. Val pulled Sharna down with him and Sharna sat between Val’s legs and he wrapped his arms tightly around her.

The lights turned down and the movie started. Sharna had no idea which movie was on right now. Val was kissing her neck and that got all her attention. She tried not to make too much noise, but Val was tickling her on purpose and he knew she couldn’t help but laugh. At one point during the show Val had turned her head so he could kiss her. They silently kissed, while the rest was watching the movie.  

It was probably halfway throughout the movie when Lindsey asked: “Who wants some popcorn?” The lights were put on and everybody had to adjust to the lights for a second and then they saw Sharna and Val lying together. Cuddled into each other arms, not quite aware of the rest of the cast watching them.

A couple of seconds later Sharna pulled apart from Val and watched her friends standing next to them. She gave them a small smile and bit her lip. Val also smiled at the rest and said: “Yes, I would like some popcorn.”

Everybody started to laugh and turned away to get the food. Val pulled Sharna close again, her head resting on his shoulder. The popcorn and the rest of the food was brought in, they turned out the lights again and the movie started. Sharna tried to follow the rest of the movie. But laying here with the lights out, in Val’s arms, in a warm and tight embrace, Sharna fell asleep. Her head was resting on his chest.

Val noticed Sharna was sleeping and hold her tight. He couldn’t help but smile when he thought about the fact the woman of his dreams was sleeping in his arms. When the movie was finished and the lights turned on again, Sharna woke up. But the warmth from Val’s body and the tightness of his arms around her prevented her from completely waking up. She fussed and Val gave her a kiss on her cheek.
