Thread: Fox at Bay (Alan23 x Sweetred)

Angela was rummaging in her purse to get out the change to pay Paul. She was feeling a lot better now that she was here. Paul was such a nice man, and she really liked him. She thought he would be the kind of man she would love to have around her. If only she wasn't so damn shy when she saw him. Like now, here they were, alone. Normally there were more people in the shop, and that was times when she absolutely wouldn't dare to talk to him direct. And now she was alone, with him, in the shop. He had even smiled at her. And such a sweet smile. But she thought he probably has a girlfriend already. All good guys had girlfriends or were married. And who would want to date her. He probably could do a lot better then her. That were all thoughts that shot through her mind. But she also knew that now was her change if she was ever going to get a chance to ask him just for a cup of coffee or something maybe, now would be the chance. She handed him the money for the buns, and cleared her throat. Building up courage, she brushed her finger through the palm of his hand. Oh dear God, she thought, please help me with this! Uhmm... Paul... uhm... can I... uhm ask you uhm... something please...? she stuttered as she looked up at him trying to give him her best smile. Unfortunately for Angela, her best smile when she was this nervous gave her more a silly look then a seductive look. She saw Paul nod his head at her questions, and gathering her nerves once more, with another brush through her hair, and from her her hair her free hand went straight down to the hem of her jacket. She had the hem between two fingers and plucked a little at it, as she finally again cleared her throat, and looking at him straight, said Would uhmm would I mean, I ummm no, uhmmm can we uhmm have a coffee uhm together maybe uhm someday Paul? I uhm know you uhm must be busy and uhm all, but uhm and uhmm.. I understand if you uhm... can't ... She fell silent after that. She hadn't heard the bell at the door ring when she finally had gotten the nerve to ask Paul to go out for a drink with her. She hadn't heard and she certainly hadn't noticed that another person had then entered the shop... Snowflaik just couldn't remember when she had laughed so loud and so hard. Oh my GOD, it was hilarious when that stupid bitch Xianna had come down, in her naked butt. Down the stairs. Oh my, the silly cow hadn't even thought of waiting till school was out or something... How stupid could she really be. Snowflaik hadn't been the only one who had seen Xianna walk down though. Her group of school friend had been with her. They all had had such a good laugh. And the look on that girls face when she had seen them standing there laughing at her. She had turned just as red as her mum's hair. Just that stupid John had interfered with her plans. How stupid of him to walk up to Xianna and tell her, Snowflaik that she was going to far. Where did his stupid objection come from. Was he becoming a choirboy all of a sudden. He had given his jacket to Xianna, so she could cover her bottom and legs with it. He had apologized on her behalf to him. Where did he get the nerve to speak on her behalf. She wasn't going to apologize. For one if someone needed to apologize, it was her. Just for being here. Snowflaik had not said a word to John anymore after that. But she had given him the finger, and that certainly should have been enough to make him realize that she wasn't going to talk to him again. Standing up to her. No way, nobody did that. And certainly not now. John had had enough of the bullying of Xianna. He actually liked the small blond girl, and thought it was so unfair of Snowflaik to bully her this much. Letting someone walk through school in her naked butt, was not fair, and not done. So when he saw Xianna walk down the stairs, he had made a decision. He walked up to Xianna, who was halfway down the stairs and had handed her his jacket. Here Xianna, use this to cover yourself. He said, giving her his friendliest smile. He had seen the fear and sadness in her eyes when she had looked up at him. And it almost made him melt. So he had apologized on behalf of Snowflaik. And then, when he had turned around, Snowflaik had given him the finger, before she walked away with the rest of the group. Well, so be it, he didn't want to be part of a group that did this sort of things.
