"What did you see in me?"Heather felt her own trepidation increase tenfold the more the man in front of him stared at her like a piece of meat in a butcher's store. The redhead found herself lightly panting as adrenaline still kept on flooding her body; her thoughts always coming back to the thought of pulling out her switchblade in defense of an immaterial attack."Quite an easy question~" The uncanny COO teased as he put his arms on the table, a relaxed smile on his face as his blue orbs kept on flitting back to her chest. "You're simply a sight to behold. Added to that a clear hard-working attitude and the innate qualities of being a teacher, you'd make a fine mother.""Wha-Whu!-" Heather stuttered like crazy, the incredulity of his answer both flattering and scaring her. "Excuse me?" What was this guy thinking?!"I answered your ques
A small glimpse...⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛"Heather! Wait!"Dio shouted as his date all but ran away from him, her body language betraying her own awkwardness and shame at her previous actions. The COO grit his teeth as he can only watch his subject disappear through the bar's exit. This was not what he had planned for this evening! Can he-"Your orders..." Their previous waiter announced, before tapering off as he realized that the COO was now alone in his table. "sir..""Tch." The miffed COO stewed in his seat, too perplexed at what just happened to him. "I'll foot the bill."Mechanically, the businessman pulled out his credit card, simply not caring about the large amounts of food that were still in the waiter's hands. Wh
Time moves forward...⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛A chilly Saturday afternoon greeted the red-haired teacher as she tugged on the sleeves of her usual white cloth jacket. While walking the long stretch of road that was the University Belt wasn't exactly her ideal scenario of reaching her destination, the weather was at least pleasant enough that she won't sweat for the few minutes of brisk walking that was currently required of her."Tch. Another accident down the road I assume."Heather clicked her tongue as she continued to trail the reason for her slowly aching feet. It wasn't a common occurrence, but traffic tended to build up fast whenever some sort of accident happened down the way. Noting that her taxi wasn't moving anytime soon, the teacher elected to simply walk for the rest of her brief journey; getting out just before h
The pair were currently seated right in front of the counter of the bar side of the Sun and Moon. Often called the Velvet Room by its bartender and owner, its cool atmosphere and delicious drinks made it a popular drinking spot for both young and old alike. And while it also served the city's more... 'unsavory' clientele, it didn't stop Heather from appreciating its velvety blue charm whenever she actually decided to go for a round of drinks. It also helped that the owner was a mutual friend of theirs."You broke my door.""I most certainly did not, Soap! Don't make me pay for it!"And right now, it was certainly a good thing that they were pretty close acquaintances with said owner.Heather can't help but put a palm on her forehead as she watched Liz frantically sign her way out of her own stupid stunt, with their silver-haired bartender
"So," Liz started, her voice now weaker than it already was before the night started. "Ready to talk about it?""As ready as I'll ever be."Heather nursed what she counted to be her 5th glass as she contemplated on how to break the news that she actually went on a date last night. While the two older women were people that she could trust with her life if push came to shove, she didn't exactly want the endless teasing that would undoubtedly spring forth from the discussion the next time they met up again."Promise me both that you'll never make fun of what I'm about to say." The redhead demanded, but she knew deep inside that she's pleading more than anything."Of course." Soap affirmed, a serious tone coloring her voice. "It's only proper.""You know that I'm the very image of confidentiality." Liz seemingly
To both of their credit, Liz and Soap merely blinked at the revelation of her date's identity; their expressions still as serious as they had been before they had the information. Heather briefly observed them both, determining whether or not they had any questions for her.The silence between them was the only indicator she needed for her to continue."He- How should I say this... propositioned me? On a visit during my school's Foundation Day." Heather recounted, arms crossed under her chest as she felt the curious gaze of her friends land on her face. "He was apparently a principal sponsor and thus invited to give an opening speech on the first day.""Huh. Interesting." The blonde stroked her braid with her left hand as the other stayed put on the right side of her choker. "Quite a surprise considering he's not one for humble celebration."<
