"Romance? This isn't a..."

She'd pause for a second, before shaking her head.

"The closest we got to romance is that one Zombie movie from a while back, and some porn flicks. Either of those sound good?"

"Enough do to keep the lights on. Why, got a movie you need help finding?"

She completely disregards the scary comment. She gets it enough.

📲 "That's a good angle. Should we have another movie night so I can see if it looks that good from every angle?"

"Alright. Go ahead and get stripped down. Gotta check the white balance on the camera. Wanna make sure there's enough lighting in here so you actually get to film something worth watching."

Thankfully, this wasn't her first rodeo. She had seen plenty of porn actors come in, system full of boner pills, so she wasn't shaken by the obvious straining of his pants.

It was a good size though, at least thats what she thought.

In the room it was more of a disturbing atmosphere. Fake blood on the walls, a pillory, a rack, a wooden horse, whips, chains, harnesses, swings, etc. Much larger than the room upstairs.

She'd turn around, looking at the money as she rolled her eyes. She'd take it as she looks at him.

"My name is Amaris, by the way. If you're going to ask out people, make sure to get a name. Don't wanna end up like one of the girls in these movies, eh?"

A smile as the receipt prints. She'd take her own number and scribble it on the receipt.

"Just in case. See you later, Robin."

She would chuckle as she rolled her eyes.

"Oh no, another crying customer, whatever will I do?"

An obvious joking tone in her voice, as deadpan as it might have sounded, the statement ended with a chuckle. She'd ring her up and hand her the tapes.

She would watch and chuckle, before taking her phone back.

"I'll shoot you a text after I close up. As for food, I'll pick up a pizza on the way over. Any toppings you want or definitely don't want?"

She'd gently motion her over towards the counter to finish ley her finish paying.

She'd squat down in front of the door and lean over just a bit, her surprisingly shapely ass looking pretty good as she fiddled with the lock on the door.

She'd look at the amount of cash he casually pulled out, looking back up at him before she'd carefully take just two of them.

"Usually we don't upgrade, but it's not reserved for today, so why not."

She'd reach under her shirt, putting the money in her bra, before grabbing the key.

"Yeah, yeah, method actor. Got it. Those are some impressive effects though. Is that like, fog machine stuff or should we open a vent so we don't suffocate."

She was used to folks in costumes, and she was a little more difficult to make uncomfortable. As far as she knows, it's just a good costume.

She'd pause, taken back a bit. She was used to creepy old men or crusty horror nerds asking, but not a cute girl. She thought for just a second, then a smile as she pulls out her phone and hands it to her.

"Well, I can't just close up shop early, but go ahead and type in your number."

"Oh, a 'friend' huh?"

A dry chuckle. It was a bit amusing to her to see him suddenly seem bashful. She quirked a brow when he asked about the door.

"VIP area. Gotta fork over at least double what this room costs to get that room to film. More on theme for the main company that films here."

"Sure, try 'em out and let me know how you like them. Just, wash your hands before and after your done. Don't want crust on the tape."

She'd give a dry chuckle, grabbing the two tapes and handing them to her.

In that room there was a trap door, with a padlock.

"Now, what kinda flick are you shooting? Got a few different costumes and shit back here for you."

She'd suck on her teeth, not backing down, but instead she would just exhale and shake her head.

"Fine. Come on. It's back here."

She'd get from behind the counter, leading the arrogant man to the back room. Opening it up it was pretty bare bones. A bed, some bdsm equipment.

"Recommendations?"

She takes the ID, giving it a once over before handing it back, leading her to the movies.

"Depends on how much horror you really want. Slash N' Squirt is a good start. Do you want something with people or monsters? If monsters, go with 'The Creature who eats Cock and Poon"

Another eye twitch, before she leans over, her eyes like daggers as her forced smile still sits across her face.

"It's in the backroom, past the beads. And the only way I'm getting on camera is if it's on the news for assaulting a rude, chauvinist customer who doesn't know how to behave."
