My girlfriend's downfall
Chapter 52

Chapter 52: Chapter 52

Moments later, I lost it. Emerging from the store behind Lily was Logan, grinning like a Cheshire cat in jeans and a T-shirt, his arms laden with shopping bags. He said something to Lily, his smile sleazy, and hurried to catch up with her. His thick, short arm went around her slender waist, his hand brazenly cupping her backside through her thin skirt. Lily barely reacted, not even flinching, letting his hand linger at her waist, a sliver of white skin visible between her top and skirt.

My mind went blank, and I could hardly believe my eyes. I stood there, stunned, as they slowly walked into a nearby movie theater. Feeling all sorts of things, I quickly ran out of the cafe and carefully followed them.

That was it I couldn’t take anymore of this shit something must be done and I knew what to do just haven’t done it since don’t know why I couldn’t do it but this night, arrrghh there’s gonna be some changes

I stepped into the empty movie theater. The lobby was deserted, with only the deep corridors echoing the low hum of the movie’s sound. I stood at the entrance, feeling lost. Was that really my girlfriend Lily? I couldn’t believe it. Just this morning, a few hours ago, we’d been lying in bed together. I could still smell her perfume on my skin. Now, it all felt like a cruel lie.

At dawn, Lily’s phone had chirped softly, waking her. Her smooth, white body slipped from my embrace. Half-awake, I’d watched her sit on the edge of the bed in the dim light. She wore one of my white silk shirts, one bare shoulder gleaming softly. Through the thin fabric, I could see the curve of her back, her slender waist, and the swell of her buttocks barely concealed by a white thong. The sight made my throat tighten.

Thinking about how I had filled Lily’s tender body with my love last night, my heart felt sweet. I’d reached out and touched her thigh. "Lily? Off to work on your thesis again? Want me to come with you?"

Startled, she’d flinched, then quickly recovered. "Ethan, you need to rest. You worked hard last night. I’ll go on my own." She’d tied back her long hair and stood. The weak light from the window outlined her tall, graceful figure, making her look like a goddess, an angel.

"Sir? Which movie would you like to see?" a low female voice said.

My drifting thoughts were snapped back to reality by the voice. I looked away from the dark corridor inside the theater and saw a chubby woman in her forties behind the ticket counter glass.

"Which movie?" the woman with a face full of wrinkles and heavy makeup asked again, sounding a bit impatient.

I didn’t see Lily and Logan anywhere, so I figured they must’ve already gone into one of the screening rooms. I had no clue which movie they were watching, but that wasn’t a big deal. In American theaters, the rules are pretty lax. Most theaters have a dozen or so screening rooms that can fit two to three hundred people. Even though each room shows a different movie, there’s usually just one ticket checker at the start of the corridor, and after that, you can pretty much move around freely.

I glanced at the posters on the wall, picked a movie at random, and pulled out my wallet.

On a quiet morning like today, there wasn’t even a ticket checker. I looked around, stuffed the ticket in my pocket, and left the chubby woman behind. I pushed open the door to the dim corridor.

The walls inside the theater weren’t spotless, but overall, it was clean. You could tell this place used to be pretty fancy. The floor was covered with dark red carpet, and the ceiling had these fancy round recessed lights casting a faint yellow glow. But now, the carpet was full of stubborn drink stains, and the lights above were kinda dim.

I guessed this place must’ve been lively at times, but on this quiet morning, not only were the ticket counter and snack bar empty, but there wasn’t a single person around.

Looking down the corridor, I saw entrances to screening rooms on both sides. Some flashing electronic signs in front of the entrances showed the room numbers and the movies playing.

I wanted to take a step forward, but I hesitated. Why was I doing this? I asked myself helplessly. It was clear that Lily had lied to me this morning. Following them would only make things worse. Thinking of this, I felt a sharp pain in my heart.

Whether coerced or not, she was secretly seeing another man. She’d been forced into a situation before, but now she was willingly Logan’s mistress. Maybe she was even falling for him. My dreams of a peaceful life with Lily had started crumbling again.

What could I accomplish by following them? From what I’d seen, she wasn’t resisting Logan. I couldn’t confront them. I would just be a silent witness to their... intimacy. The thought filled me with rage and resentment. My stomach twisted.

Maybe I could find some clues? Maybe I could confirm if that was really Lily? Maybe I could find out Logan’s intentions? On the other hand, my heart came up with countless reasons not to leave. I didn’t know what to do, so I gritted my teeth, took a heavy step, and randomly walked into a screening room. The movie hadn’t started yet, and some phone commercials were playing. I pulled up my collar, kept my head down, and held my breath, my heart almost stopping. I must not be seen! I silently prayed.

If Lily and Logan were really here, I didn’t want to blow my cover. My gut was telling me that I should just observe I didn’t know why but i wanted to see what was just going on and know how to approach it.

The theater’s AC was pretty weak, making it a bit stuffy. Still, I pulled my collar up and scanned the place with my peripheral vision. I picked a seat near the door on the left side of the middle aisle, trying to be as quiet as possible, and slowly sat down. Once my eyes adjusted to the dim light, I started looking around for Lily.

The theater was almost empty. Even though there were rows of seats, only a few old guys were sitting in the front row, clearly not Lily and Logan.

I figured they weren’t here and was about to leave when I heard a low, seductive moan from behind me.

What the heck! My muscles tensed, and my heart sank. That was definitely a woman’s moan. Could Logan be assaulting Lily in public?

I quickly glanced towards the sound, which came from the most secluded corner on the left side of the theater near the emergency exit. Only four seats were in that row, and the innermost one was half-hidden by a wall, making it a perfect spot for a secret rendezvous. No wonder I missed it earlier.

I took a closer look and almost lost it. A young girl was kneeling on a chair, and a guy was sitting beneath her. She had fair skin and wore a simple black dress, but it was hiked up to her waist, showing off her white thighs and plump butt.

Hmmm The clothes were different; it wasn’t Lily. I hissed , steadied myself, and kept watching that corner.

The girl had light brown hair and looked American. She was leaning down, hugging the guy beneath her, moving up and down, making the sound of fabric rubbing together. She seemed to be holding her breath, and her soft moans were mostly drowned out by the ads playing. But I could faintly see the guy’s cock moving in and out between her legs.

Even though the girl wasn’t Lily, I was still shocked. I knew Americans were more... open, but this... I’d never imagined this. Lily and I had seen couples cuddling in dark corners, but never this. Maybe the empty theater emboldened them.

Even though the theater was pretty empty, there were still a few people up front. If they turned around, they could totally see the couple going at it. Despite the seatbacks offering some cover, the girl’s white butt was still visible. Either they were lost in the moment, or the thrill of potentially being watched was part of the appeal. As I watched, the man lifted her dress even higher, nearly exposing her entire back.

Damn it! Logan picked this place to meet Lily; I knew it they were up to no good. Maybe in another theater, there’s a girl with her white butt exposed, writhing on a guy, completely unaware she’s being watched. And that girl might be Lily! The thought was unnerving, and despite my rising anger, I felt I had to calm down I wasn’t going to do something that will have me deported because of some girl.

Even though watching the girl’s round butt and white back excited me, I had no mood to stay here. Finding Lily was my top priority. I quietly left the theater and, with a burning heart, entered the one across the hall.

Today was really not my day! I cursed under my breath as I checked theater after theater—eleven in total—and my heart stopped each time, but still no sign of Lily. Instead, I unexpectedly encountered three couples making out in the corners. Initially shocked, I soon realized why. The thrill of a dark theater was undeniably arousing. Moreover, with the cost of American hotels, a theater date was a steal, almost like saving a week’s worth of lunches for young lovers. But the more I considered it, the more anxious I became. Was this Logan’s plan to take advantage of Lily?

No! It couldn’t be. I once had tried to kiss Lily and touch her body in a theater, but she blushed and firmly refused. The most we had ever done was making love in a car by the beach at night when no one was around. Lily would never accept such intimacy in any public place. Logan couldn’t succeed, not with her.

But Logan had leverage over Lily, those photos! Maybe Lily would give in to him, no not maybe I knew she would give in to him My mind was in turmoil. I tried to calm myself and carefully entered the last theater in the cinema. As before, I covered my face and sat in the leftmost seat near the aisle, slowly scanning the surroundings. The movie had already started, with rhythmic music playing, and the flickering light from the screen allowed me to barely see the surroundings. The movie was some teen flick, nearing its end, with just a handful of elderly viewers scattered in the front.

Sitting in the chair, I covered my face with one hand and started to turn my neck, slowly glancing towards the secluded corner that other couples had chosen. Damn it! Although I had seen Lily and Logan enter this cinema, although I had already expected it, seeing Logan holding Lily in a corner of the theater still filled me with anger.
