Chapter 111 A Date With Courtney (Part III)

After we visited the zoo, it was already somewhere around noon. I had already booked a time to check out a movie together.

Shopping... Even though I wouldn't say I like shopping with girls, Courtney has to learn about this place sooner or later.

"Charles... Look at that!"

Within minutes, Courtney found something she was interested in. She grabbed a piece of my clothes and stopped me. Looking in the direction of where she was looking, it was a store that sold plushies.

The first time I met Courtney was when I broke into her room. Now that I remember, her previous room had many life-size plushies or something of that sort.

"You seem excited. Let's check it out."

"Really..?"

I nodded my head, confirming what I had previously said. With my approval, Courtney jolted into the store without awareness of her surroundings.

Luckily no one was in her way. Otherwise, they would've bumped, and more trouble would've come.

Entering the store, this place was a paradise for people that love dolls. The store was filled with families, couples, and even a group of girls.

"Charles! Can I buy these?"

Within seconds, Courtney found two life-size plushies. One was a giant fat walrus, and the other was a giant fat cat.

I could see why Courtney has some attraction toward these animals. Their sizes were adorable if you look at it that way.

The prices of these things won't make a dent in my wallet. Even if I bought hundreds, I don't think I would care. But let's not say that for my time.

"Are you sure? There could be other plushies that you prefer more."

"No. These two are the ones that I want. I saw everything inside."

Did she already explore the whole store? Courtney has only been inside the store for less than a minute. Does she have a skill relating to searching? I never asked so I wouldn't know.

"Are you really sure?"

"Yep."

"Alright. Let's go to the counter."

Buying the two plushies and storing them in her storage space. Having no other business to be in this store, we went around the mall to see what other fun we could have.

We set ourselves free and bought whatever came to mind. From practical to useless, we bought them if we thought they were interesting.

After traveling to the store, the time has come. The movie tickets that I bought earlier were going to start soon.

The last time I was with Reina, I knew romance/drama movies weren't something I would enjoy. This time I picked a comedy movie. Generally, comedy movies were mostly dogshit, but the ones that did it right would be a hit.

Taking the opinion of the masses, the one that is now airing should be a good watch. I had considered that horror or action would not be the best choice for Courtney.

Before we went into the theater room, I had to get snacks and drinks before we went in. Getting the classic butter and salt popcorn, I chose a seat where we could experience it with great joy.

"I didn't expect the movie theater could be this immersive..."

"Welcome to the future."

The movie started, and we watched it with joy. As the review said, the movie had a few jokes that landed.

What we watched was about an overpowered man that would do anything for entertainment. He would mess with people and make funny jokes that I thought were funny.

I took a few glances at Courtney to see how she was holding up, and she was enjoying the movie. After the movie was finished, we exited the room.

"Thinking about the movie, the movie's main character has some semblance to someone I know."

"Really? Who?"

"When I put my finger into it, I can't remember."

We talked about the movie, and the sun was about to dawn. Dinner time was approaching, and unlike the previous dining place, I had a reservation at a fancy place. It was nice to switch up the places where we went.

"Are you sure we should go to a place like this..?"

"Don't you have many experiences in fancy restaurants? The house you own is much larger than mine."

"I had a chef that would make food for me. I never had the chance to go out much unless necessary."

Did she have an agent? She was famous in her world. Now that I think about it, where was Courtney's manager this whole time?

"Uh... Courtney, did you have a manager?"

"..."

She looked at me and said nothing. Her expression must have meant that she had forgotten about her manager.

"Did you forget about your manager?"

"Can you blame me..? She hasn't called me during the invasion... And she was on vacation... You also only gave me a day to think..."

If she words it that way, I can't blame her... I decided to leave the topic at that and eat our dinner. Dinner at the restaurant was excellent as the meat quality there was nice.

After dinner, we went home and sneaked inside so no one in this place would disturb us. We went inside Courtney's room and took a shower.

"Charles... Thank you for today. It was the perfect date..."

Today has tired Courtney out. I noticed this after our dinner date. I could've had sex with her during her shower time but decided to leave it at that.

Before Courtney went to bed, I dried her hair so her hair wouldn't be a mess by the time she woke up.

"Could you stay with me..?"

"There's no reason for me to leave."

Even after taking a shower, the drowsiness had hit. Complying with her request, I tucked her into bed with me beside her.

She latched onto my body as she stared right into my eyes. With how comfortable she must have felt, she soon drifted to sleep.

"Good night."

Since I was already in bed, I might as well sleep here for the night.
