Honey
I stepped off the stage, my heart still pounding from the adrenaline rush of my performance. As I made my way towards my table, I was intercepted by a man. He was tall and handsome, with a confident smile that seemed to light up the room. “Excuse me,” he said, his voice smooth and inviting, “I couldn’t help but notice your performance. It was absolutely breathtaking.” I paused, my eyes widening slightly in surprise. While I always enjoyed compliments, I was especially pleased to hear that my performance had been so well-received. I had given my all on stage, and I wanted nothing more than for people to enjoy themselves. “Thank you,” I replied, my voice a little shaky. “I’m glad you enjoyed it.”The man leaned in closer, his eyes sparkling with interest. “Would you like to join me for dinner?” he asked. I hesitated, my mind racing. I wasn’t interested at all. I glanced down at my watch, feigning surprise. “Oh, I’m so sorry,” I said, “ I have people waiting for me.” The man’s face fell, but he nodded understandingly. “Perhaps another time,” he said. I smiled politely. “Maybe,” I replied. As I turned to leave, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of relief that I had avoided a potential awkward situation. Just as I was about to step away, Avion approached me. He had been watching the exchange from a distance, and he gave the man a knowing look. “I’ll take care of her,” he said, taking my hand. The man nodded and walked away, his disappointment evident. Avion and I continued on our way, and I couldn’t help but feel a sense of gratitude for his timely intervention. Even though Avion was another man I wanted to avoid, I was grateful for his help in getting me out of that situation. I was surprised to find that I enjoyed his touch despite my initial reservations. As we approached our table, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of warmth and comfort. It was as if he had a way of making me feel safe and protected. But why? And why him?
