“Tch,” Levi uttered with disgust. The subway was just too filthy for him. What with the thousands of people who use it every day.
He took a sip from his cup of black tea and noticed a girl falling asleep. She looked tired and had bags under her eyes, although her make-up and (h/c) hair were on point. She wore red stilettos shoes, black skinny jeans, and a red leather jacket. She was clearly out all night. Levi couldn’t deny it, she looked fierce and attractive. A bit too sexy, he thought. She might be harassed in her current condition, especially in this neighborhood.
As if on cue, a tall blond guy grabbed her ass and asked if she wanted to have fun with him for a bit. She glared at him for a moment, “If you wanna go home with your hand attached to your body, kindly take it off my ass,” she said with a forced smile. “Oh, playing hard to get, huh? That’s cute, but come on. Who are you fooling sweetheart? You know you want this.” Her eyes widened, still grinning. I was about to step in but then she pushed the man on the ground and stepped on his neck with her heels. “YOU DO NOT WANT TO MESS WITH A GIRL WITH A HEADACHE. Now, if you want to live for another day, you’ll apologize and move your sorry ass out of this train,” she said yelled. “Why the fuck do I have to apologize bitch?” he said, in between his heavy breathing. She stepped harder on his neck earning a groan from him. “APOLOGIZE WHILE YOU’RE STILL IN ONE PIECE,” she shouted as she pulled a knife from her pocket.
The guy finally gave up, apologized and ran immediately. The people on the train ceased speaking and stared at her in awe. Even I have to admit, I’m impressed. I didn’t think she had it in her. She looked tired and was clearly smaller than I am. She saw me staring, and glared at me. I’d have talked to her if she didn’t look so pissed off. “Tch.”
~Friday, 11 PM~
The bar was already packed when Levi and Hanji went inside. Strobe lights and a cacophony of loud music and chattering filled the place. Men and women grinded against each other. This wasn’t really his scene, too loud and disgusting for him. He did like drinking though, so he agreed when Hanji begged him to accompany her after work.
“Can I have Gin and Tonic,” a girl said. He recognized that voice and added, “Make that two please,” as he sat next to her. His hunch was correct. It was the girl on the train. She donned a red corset and black skinny jeans that made her figure even more prominent. She replaced the red leather jacket for a black one, but kept the same red shoes.
“You look familiar, have we met before?” she said, eyeing him.
“We’ve probably seen each other on the train,” he mentioned, not wanting to reveal he saw her this morning.
“Oh yeah, you were the guy staring at me this morning. Are you following me?” she asked, frowning.
“Don’t flatter yourself,” he answered, drinking his beverage.
“Please, I saw the way you were looking at me. Let’s save some time and address the fact we both find each other attractive. I’m (first),” you said confidently and asked for another drink. He was definitely handsome, and seemed like a challenge, you thought. Even better.
Levi was surprised with how confident and straightforward you were. You knew what you wanted, and you knew exactly how to get it.
“Levi. My name’s Levi,” he said and moved closer. He whispered, “Try to remember that name. You’ll be screaming it tonight.”
