Feeling drowsy and inebriated from too much alcohol that I took all because I was angry I lost my promotion to my colleague due to my gender. I sat down quietly in my booth pondering why the female gender is considered weak and inferior. After all the hardwork I had put in to get that promotion, I couldn't believe I would be disregarded because of gender. SHIT! I cursed out.
I emptied the last bottle of beer in front me, then I realized I was being watched by a man sitting in a booth opposite mine. Though I was dizzy from the alcohol, I could tell that he would be coming up to my booth soon and I don't think in my inebriated state I would be able to make good decisions. So, time for me to leave. I signaled for the waiter to bring my bill as I went through my purse for my credit card.
"Hi, looks like you are not in a good condition to drive home?"
Shit! How did he get here so fast? What do I tell him? Gosh! I can't think! Urggh!
"Hi there! I will be fine. You need not worry" I said as I grinned like a joker.
The way he looked at me I knew I looked ridiculous. So to end the awkward moment for us, I quickly offset my bill and left the bar. As I stepped out of the bar to wait for a cab, my knees felt weak and it could hardly uphold my body weight. So I sighted a concrete bench a few feet away from the bar and braced for the longest walk of my life. As I got to the bench, I sat down with my purse held to my chest tightly, blinking my eyes and not long, my body gave in to sleep.
The next day…
Thud...
Hearing that sound activated my senses. Though my eyes were heavy, my body was weak and there was a stabbing pain at the back of my head. In general I felt like I had been hit by a truck.
"Hey Sleeping beauty! I thought you would never wake up."
The voice sounded strange, slightly hoarse, bull-like and then it struck me that the voice was familiar. Opening my eyes, he was standing in front of me all huge, with a white towel wrapped around his waistline perfectly, his broad shoulders portraying his strength and his feet were bare. Snapping myself out from being hypnotized by his body that was built to give pleasure, I realized I was in fresh and clean undies.
"What?! Oh Lord! Did we?! Did anything happen?!"
As I panicked, I quickly wrapped myself up with the bed cover as I was looking for my things and clothes.
"Hey! You need to relax. You won't find any of your things here" he said.
"What?! I need my clothes! Or hold on to it. I am leaving." I said as I wanted to get out, I slipped and fell hitting my head then I saw black.
"Hi Missy Flash! Don't try to run away again please. My patience is brittle as of now."
Looking at the face of the stranger who walked up to me at the bar before I left. I realized he must have picked me up from the concrete bench I last sat on. He actually saved me from some many situations I must have exposed myself to.
"Eliana… my name is Eliana" I said as I began to gather my thoughts together.
"I am Jack. Now would you not try to run again?" he said to me with a smirk.
"Sure I will, if you can confirm we did nothing last night"
"No, I promise you we did nothing of such but I would love to do that someday" he said as we both laughed.
