The dark nights had already begun to draw in. Belinda and Peter had agreed that no matter how busy work was they would set one evening a month aside to be ‘date night’. So far they had been fairly successful having managed to continue this for the best part of 4 years. Although neither was poorly paid for their jobs, the usual costs of mortgages, bills and food meant they didn’t have the largest disposable income. It would be worth it in the end.
Maintaining a healthy ‘date night’ meant taking advantage of voucher websites, special offers, mystery shopping sites and show review forums. Tonight’s date was courtesy of a show review forum, free tickets to the advance preview of a hypnosis show. In exchange for the tickets between them they needed to write a short review and complete a quick survey, not bad for a free night of entertainment. And of course entertainment was all it was.
Neither Peter nor Belinda had much faith in anyone truly being hypnotised, they had both seen shows on TV where ‘audience’ members, or rather actors carried out actions at the will of the hypnotists. It couldn’t work.
As they entered the theatre and showed their tickets they found themselves laughing at the conversations they overheard. “How could anyone believe this rubbish,” Peter said in a hushed tone as they worked through the throng of expectant guests. “I don’t know how anyone falls for it either,” Belinda agreed. Both trying to keep their opinions low key, thankful for the tickets and a new opportunity.
They worked their way to the bar and were unsurprised when the cost of the two drinks came to almost the same as the face value of one of their tickets. As they moved through the bar area, Belinda attracted the odd stare, a custom Peter was now well accustomed to. Her bleached blonde hair shimmered in the lights cascading over her shoulders, the subtle hint of cleavage, and the well fitted dress. Even Peter caught himself starring sometimes at her beauty, secretly smug that in the last six years it was only him who had been enjoying the pleasure of what lay beneath, her toned, tanned body, her slim curves.
Their conversation continued as they discussed in depth their scepticism of hypnosis, looking around the crown guessing the likely participants based on how they acted. Whilst also identifying the most gullible looking. They both viewed tonight as a bit of fun and entertainment. After all a good hypnosis show was just that a performance to be enjoyed.
