Amanda left home visibly cheerful. She felt full of energy. Today, she had decided to look beautiful, stunning even. She paired a tight-fitting black dress with black high-heeled boots. All of this was wrapped up in a voluminous checked coat. She looked totally chic.
"Nothing will ruin my day today," she hummed to herself.
She walked into Wheelz with a smile from ear to ear. Two muscular men sat at the bar, the rest were around the pool table. Anyone with a bit of sense would behave more modestly, but not Amanda. The bikers looked like they stepped out of a scene from the movie "Hell Ride" - rough and dangerous, with a look that would scare many.
"They're probably here since last night," Amanda thought, casually walking towards the bar.
Everyone turned to look at her. She sat at the bar and ordered a coffee with milk, looking as if the ominous atmosphere didn't bother her at all, because it didn't.
"Morning, Leon, how are you?" she asked.
"You stink," a rough guy next to her said.
"Excuse me?" she blinked twice.
"You stink, like a wolf," he repeated coldly.
"Oh no, that's 'Black Opium' by 'Yves Saint Laurent'," Amanda replied seriously.
"If anyone stinks, it's you!"
The biker chuckled, and Leon chuckled louder.
"Apologize to our New Year's Eve organizer," Leon threatened with a serious tone.
"Our what?"
"You heard me."
The biker burst into laughter. "If you say so."
"Anyway," Amanda started. "Oliver found a cover band. I made a few calls, and we'll have exotic dancers. I've already briefed them on the theme. Since Green Garden doesn't offer cocktails, I've hired a Cocktail mixologist. You know the girls love that," she smiled charmingly.
"I heard the news."
"What news?" Amanda asked seriously.
"It seems that Green Garde' is also going to have a themed New Year's Eve party. I found a flyer at the bar this morning."
"Let me see!" Amanda sharply snatched it from his hand.
Ring in the New Year at Green Garden with Pirates of the Caribbean. Costume night, with go-go dancers and exotic cocktails. We're expecting you. Free entry.
Amanda angrily crumpled the flyer into a fist. "If they want war, they'll get it!" she hissed through her teeth.
"Your scent has changed," Leon interrupted her train of thought.
"I explained earlier to your friend..."
"It's not about perfume. It's subtle for now, but it's starting to show."
"What now?" she nervously threw her hands up.
"You've been marked."
"Marked?"
"And considering how many times I've sparred with him, I know who marked you."
"Like cow?" Amanda shouted.
"Close," Leon chuckled.
"It won't work," she stood up, agitated.
"Calm down. Don't react impulsively."
"How can I not react? I reek of him, how can I not react explosively? No man will handle me, ever!" she thundered.
"It's not about handling."
