Tania gave Marvin a smile after coming back from her meeting. He smiled back and closed his eyes, his head laying on her couch.She tore a little bit of fabric from her red gown and sensually moved closer to him. Her every step made him want her right there.
He pulled her to himself and began kissing her on her neck. She moaned softly and he carried her on his shoulder to her bedroom. Her legs hung on his back as they kissed violently,up into the bedroom. Marvin ripped off her pink blouse. Her protruding breasts intrigued him,hidden under straps of bra.She licked her lips seductively and unbuttoned his shirt. Her eyes fixated on his eyes and back at his chest.Her eyes green like a cat's; furious and troublesome. She stopped seeing the symbol on his chest.That spear symbol with two axe shaped blade at the bottom reminded her of something or someone. She couldn't place a finger on it. Then, it dawned on her. Fifty years ago,she had fallen in love with a strange man but he betrayed her. He had that same spear sign on his chest as Marvin's."Are you okay?!" Marvin asked, shirtless and his belt unbuckled.
"Yeah, just a memory glitch!"She said, smiling at him nervously.She wasn't expecting that to happen. He moved forward to kiss her neck but after few seconds,she resisted.
"I don't think we should do it.
I'm a virgin!"she said in a low tune. Marvin stepped back. "Okay,you should have said something. You got me all jazzed!" He said as he puts on his shirt and did his belt.
"I'm really sorry!"Tania said. "Maybe next time. I promise I won't spoil it!". Marvin smiled and gave her a soft kiss on her cheeks. "Okay, whenever you're ready!" Then, he left. Tania,still in her bra and black slack pants. She couldn't help but wonder where,what or who she had seen that mark on. It's been fifty years,yet she look so young and irresistible. Her eyes widened when she suddenly remembered who it was she saw it on. Her fist clenched as the memory of decades ago flashed back. Greg Sallyman, Marvin's father. Her eyes narrowed into an angry frown. She had waited five decades to get her revenge. Now, it's been delivered to her on a platter. "Oh a day to wanna have sex!"she said,in a devilish scheming way. "Greg Sallyman, you're gonna wish you never did that!"she said,an evil smirk plastered on her face.

Marvin couldn't believe he almost had a shot with Tania but didn't get to actually do it. He smashed his fist against the table."Hey, don't get mad at the table now!"a twenty something year old lady spoke from the counter. Marvin rolled his eyes.
Her name was Jennifer, a waitress who had seen her fair share of heartbroken souls and disappointed sexual encounters in the quaint little pub. She had a playful smirk on her face, revealing a glimmer of mischief in her eyes. Her dark hair cascaded down her shoulders, and she leaned nonchalantly against the counter.
"Yeah, yeah, I know. It's just frustrating, you know? I thought I had a connection with her." Marvin said, taking a sip of his coffee. Jennifer shrugged, her gaze on a disgruntled Marvin at the table. "Connections can be tricky, especially around here. You never know who you're dealing with!"
Marvin sighed, running his fingers through his disheveled hair. "You're telling me. She seemed... different, though. Like, mysteriously different. I can't put my finger on it."
Jennifer's eyes glinted with curiosity. She enjoyed a good mystery, especially when it involved the elusive Tania. "Different, huh? Well, that's the thing about this town. We've got our fair share of mysteries, and people are not always what they seem". As Marvin pondered over her words, the privately owned shop's door creaked open, and a gust of chilly wind swept in, causing the dimly lit candles on the tables to flicker. In walked a mysterious figure, cloaked in shadows. The stranger's presence seemed to command attention as they moved gracefully through the room.
Jennifer raised an eyebrow, exchanging a quick glance with Marvin as the stranger approached the counter. "Welcome to Jens, what can I get ya?!".
The figure said nothing for awhile just staring curiously at Marvin who barely even paid attention to the fact that he's being watched by a potential stalker. He was disappointed as he is and didn't want anymore drama than his life already have.
The figure unveiled her cloak to reveal a gorgeous woman in her early forties. She'd a large bosom,great curves and a black silky hair. Marvin couldn't stop himself from staring at her well structured curves and figures.
"I'll have the champagne, please!" She said, raising her glasses with a finger,like some celebrity."red precisely!". She glanced at Marvin once more and they made eye contact. There was something familiar about her, Marvin thought, could it be her eyes,green like avocado or an aura he probably knew.
After collecting her drink,she approaches Marvin's table,her steps felt organized and patterned as she walked gracefully to him. Her captivating eyes locked onto Marvin's, making him momentarily forget the frustrations that had plagued him just moments ago.
