''Ahhhhhhhhhh!'' Cindy screamed with widened eyes as she clung on to Jimmy for dear life.
''Cindy, calm down, it's just a horror movie. You know that movies, especially supernatural ones are just made up of very unreal special effects, make-up and sometimes, CGI. And all events are happening in a completely fictional universe,'' Jimmy blabbered though he knew his wife understood that movies are just fictitious events made by men's wild imagination.
''Gosh Jimmy! Can't you like just enjoy the move like us?'' Cindy looked at the six year old little boy sitting beside her, he chuckled a bit as he returned his mother's soft smile.
Jimmy just playfully rolled his eyes while grinning, he eyed his family lovingly and found them quite adorable. They continued to watch the film but Jimmy found it very boring and unrealistic. He knew how the movie was made, and so he was not scare at all. He felt his head becoming heavy, as well as his eyes, torpidity was taking place. He became drowsy in a snap. As seconds pass, his head just felt heavier and heavier until he could not hold it anymore, his eyes closed completely and his had fallen onto Cindy's cozy shoulders. Cindy was used to Jimmy being a sleepy head during movies, but she still felt goosebumps and butterflies in her stomach every time he would lean on her shoulder, sometimes she wonders if Jimmy knew what he does.
And yes, he is completely aware of what he does, but he could not help it, he was comfortable, and so was she. Besides, they are husband and wife anyways, who would mind?
Cindy kissed Jimmy's head as she held his hand and inhaled his masculine scent. She continued watching with their six year old son.
One and a half hour later…
''Jimmy, Jimmy sweety, wake up, we're going to our room, the movie's done,'' Cindy nudged and lightly shook Jimmy who was already sleeping on her lap. She could not ask for Aaron's help, for the little boy was already in his room, probably sleeping.
''Jimmy!'' Cindy whispered and continued nudging him. He moaned and he slowly opening his eyes, he stared at Cindy who was staring back at him. She did not say anything and just stayed put.
He lifted his hand and grabbed Cindy's cheeks carefully, his eyes still drowsy and groggy. He pulled her to him quickly and kissed her lightly as he closed his eyes. Cindy, surprised at first, closed her own eyes after a few seconds passed. Nothing was really new. Jimmy would do this almost every time but they still felt all giddy inside like a bunch of love-struck teenagers every time it would happen. Jimmy was still holding Cindy's hand when she slowly pulled away and cannot help but smile. Jimmy beamed with pleasure.
Jimmy slowly stood up and helped Cindy get up, they did not utter any word and proceeded to their room upstairs. They closed the door and went to bed, when suddenly, incessant knocking banged the door. Cindy knew who it was and she had no choice but to open the door. She lazily stood up and Jimmy followed her, walking with heavy steps. They opened the door and Aaron was standing in front of them, with puppy eyes and a pout plastered on his face.
''Here we go again,'' Cindy muttered as she faced Jimmy who had the same weary expression as her.
''Aaron, sweetheart, didn't we tell you that you have your own room and that you have to sleep in there?'' Cindy knelt down and held the boy's hands.
''But mummy, I'm scared…'' He reasoned out, his voice trailing away.
''Is it because of the monsters you saw in the horror movie earlier?'' Cindy asked
The boy nodded slowly.
''There is no need to be scared, son. Everything you saw in the film was just made from-'' Jimmy was cut short by Cindy's glare.
''Don't you dare start with your science rumbling again, Mr. Genius,'' Cindy mumbled while gritting her teeth. She smiled at Aaron and stood up.
''Daddy, I wanna sleep with you and mommy!'' The son whined.
Jimmy and Cindy just looked at each other, their room was spacious, 2 or 3more beds could fit, but their bed was too small for 3 people. Jimmy and Cindy purposely bought a small bed. For more cuddles and snuggles.
''Sweety, next time, not now. We'll prepare a cushion for you so you can sleep comfortable with us, next time okay? Please, not now, you're a big boy now!'' Cindy persuaded and tried to cheer the little boy up, but it was no use.
''Mommy! I know I'm a big boy! But why can't I sleep beside you and dad? I mean, dad's a big boy too, but why can he stay with you? Why's he allowed to sleep with you? He's thirty years old and he still stays in the same room as you!'' Aaron whined sarcastically with his high, childish voice. Jimmy just showed a sheepish grin.
''Daddy not fair!'' Aaron folded his arms and pouted, he marched to his room alone, he's had enough with his persistent parents.
Jimmy and Cindy just shook their heads, still amused with Aaron. They went back to bed and positioned themselves closely together and faced each other.
''You know, Aaron really resembles you a lot, like it's sometimes creeping me out,'' Cindy said
''That's why it's called an offspring Cindy,'' Jimmy said in reply.
''No, I mean, he's got your chocolate brown hair, blue eyes, he excels in his primary school, everything! Like you wouldn't know that we're actually mother and son except for the fact that I was the one who gave birth to him!'' Cindy explained.
''We should have named him James Isaac Jr.'' Jimmy gagged.
''Eww!'' Cindy elbowed him.
''Ouch!'' Jimmy wrapped his arms around Cindy as she became trapped in his embrace and enticing scent once again. She did not resist, she was too sleepy to do so. She felt safe and secure whenever he cuddled her. They went silent as they drifted to their peaceful slumber.
