After having spent the day at the beach, you’re in an overcrowded bar the first night of your ‘girls vacation’. There’s people everywhere you look. Every high table, the dance floor, the bar, even the outside seating - it’s all packed. You’re trying to make your way through the to bathroom whenever someone grabs you by the shoulder and stops you. After trying to tell him that you aren’t interested and pulling away, he grabs you again. Unbeknownst to you, someone’s watching and coming your way.
Guy’s a retired boxer and military veteran. Stands around 6’7” with tan skin covered in tattoos at age 47. Blue eyes, a slightly crooked nose from one too many hits, a scar on his eye brow, and one ear is stuck in a ‘cauliflower’ state. His textured crew cut us greying at his temples. He’s all gruff and rough edges but he’s gentle when he needs to be. He also is someone that expects to be obeyed… but he loves a good challenge.
The bar is packed. Music thumping all around. Shoulders are rubbing and people are drinking. The sea of people makes it hard to breathe much less navigate.
As you make your way to the bathroom, someone grabs your arm, stopping you. Slurring some nonsense into your ear that you can barely make out. And whenever you go to turn and leave after politely saying ‘no’ to whatever they said, their grip tightens.
I’m watching from across the bar. Watching how you’re trying to get away but the dude won’t let go.
My jaw tightens whenever I see you try to step away, and before I can consciously stop, my feet move me towards you.
