Reader's P.O.V
"So, are you coming or not?"
"Alright, just gimme a second!", Angel huffs as he leans close to the mirror and sticks on his false lashes. Cherri flicks a piece of lint off my black shirt as I adjust her hair. She sits on the floor to fix the straps of her bright pink platform heels, and Angel smears a pale shimmery powder from a small black box onto my cheeks.
After a long day of getting involved in various shenanigans, Angel suggested we hit the bar for a drink. We agreed that that was a very good idea, and couldn't possibly result in anything bad happening. So we gathered at Cherri's house to dress up. As the other two finish putting on makeup and accessories, I pace around the room, occasionally finding a little trinket I like and sneaking it into my purse.
After I'd stolen a tube of shiny lip gloss, a pair of red-tinted sunglasses, and a handful of miscellaneous pins and spare change, Cherri says "Alright, I'm done. I'll go start the car. You two join me when you're ready, okay?"
After she'd left, I whisper to Angel "She'll be looking for this for a long time", and, giggling, I hold up a sparkly pink snap bracelet. He smirks. "That's her favorite. You wouldn't steal that, now would you?"
I shove it down my purse. "Oh, relax. I'll return it to her... after wearing it a few times. Plus, didn't you steal her pink-and-white stripey stilettos?"
He stares closely at the mirror as he curls his lashes with one hand and straightens his blonde wig with another two. "We'll just keep that between you and me, alright Hon?" I chuckle. "Whatever. Come on, hurry! We need to leave soon! They close early, remember?"
He admires his reflection in the mirror. "What'cha think?"
I guide him out the door. "Gorgeous! Now, let's go."
He turns to me. "Hey, if we're lucky, we might find some smoking babes to take home for the night. Do you suppose you'll finally find a woman?" I flush, my cheeks turning dark blue. Luckily, the shimmery makeup hides it pretty well. "Oh, stop it!", I scold. "We're just going to have fun! Besides, I don't think I'll find anyone I'm interested in."
But, as it turned out, I was dead wrong.

She was sitting not too far from me with a pink drink in her hands. She was short and voluptuous and wore a beautiful magenta flapper dress. Several men surrounded her, but she ignored all of them. I couldn't help but stare with a curious fascination.
She's beautiful.
Angel catches me ogling and nudges my arm. "Hey, (Y.N), you're drooling." I snap out of it and quickly wipe my face. "What're you looking at, anyway?" He glances at the woman. Cherri joins in. "What are you guys staring at?"
"Nothing! Angel's just being an idiot." Angel's eyes suddenly go wide. "Oh, I get it! You've got the hots for that lady, don't you?", he says loudly. I quickly cover his mouth with my hands. "Shut up!", I hiss. "She'll hear you!"
He grins mischievously. "You should go talk to her." I fervently shake my head. "No way! She won't like me. Beside, look at her! She's already swarmed by men!" I sit back down and take a swig of my gin and tonic to stop myself from thinking about it.
"And none of them have got anything on you!", Cherri exclaims. "Seriously, (Y.N), go say hi!"
"I can't", I insist. She's about to start ranting when an argument bursts out from next to us. I turn to see the woman struggling to pull herself away from some tall wolf demon who'd grabbed her wrist.
"Hey, let go!" She tries to break free from his grasp, but he won't budge. "Oh, will you stop being so whiny? Quit struggling!" The rest of the men start laughing as she continues attempting to free herself. He decides he's had enough of her protesting and slaps her hard on the cheek.
"I told you to stop movi-"
He stops mid-sentence and gasps. He looks down to see the tip of a spear sticking out from his chest. I pull my spear out and he falls to the side. I come face-to-face with the woman, who's panting and starting to cry. I turn to the other men, my now-bloody ice spear pointing at them and my eyes wide. "Which one of you fellas wants to try touching her? Hm?"
They all stand frozen.
"I said, which one of you wants to fucking try touching her?!"
They all break out of their trance and quickly run away. I turn back to the woman. "Ehm, sorry about that." She looks down at the dead body of the wolf demon. She wipes her face and smiles. "Thank you", she sniffs.
"Are you okay?", I ask, concerned. "I'm alright. Don't worry, these types of things happen all the time with me. Trust me, everything's Jake!" She brightens up. "Now, get over here, you!"
She gestures for me to come closer to her. My heart pounds as I step forward. She leans in and gives me a small peck on the cheek.
My heart nearly stops functioning.
"My name's Mimzy", she says. I stutter "Oh, I-I- my name is (Y.N). Nice to meet you." She giggles, and I chuckle nervously along with her while wiping blood from my hands onto my jeans. I catch Cherri and Angel smiling and nodding and giving me thumbs-up.
"Why don't you come sit with me, Love? Let me buy you a drink." Mimzy points at the seat next to her. "O-oh, you don't have to. I actually have my own drink. Let me go get it." I sprint back to my friends.
"There, that wasn't so hard, now was it?", Angel asks. "Yeah, you really stuck it to those pieces of shit!", Cherri assures me. I grab my gin and tonic. "Oh, please. It was nothing!" I wave my hand. "Really, you're giving me too much credit."
"Don't let us keep you too long. Go talk to her!" Angel pushes me away playfully. I take a deep breath and return to Mimzy.
"Oh, that was fast! Please, sit." I do so, and she takes my hand in hers. "I wanted to thank you again for saving me. That was a really brave thing to do." I shrug. "It's fine. I mean, those guys were all bitches anyways. None of them deserved someone as beautiful as you-"
...Wait. Wait. Did I just say that out loud? My face goes dark blue. "Uh- I mean-!"
"Oh, aren't you a charmer?" She giggles and gently swats my arm. "You're making me blush!"
Oh! "Ah, heh, it is true, you know!", I remark. "You... are gorgeous."
She simpers.
Then she abruptly asks, "So, (Y.N), do you like clubbing?"
"I- yeah, I do, actually." She smiles and drinks some of her pink drink. "Well, that's nifty to hear! I own a club, and if you want, you can drop by for a visit. I do live singing."
"Oh, you sing?" Mimzy nods. "I love singing. I've been doing it for years! So, what do you think?"
I smile. "I'd love to go."
"And I'd love to see you again", she says, winking. A blush a little. "Yes, I'd like that too."
Huh, so I guess Angel was right. I did find someone I was interested in after all.
