On a train

Not too tall, tall enough. Short beard, not groomed. Not ungroomed, slightly savage. Flannel shirt, sleeves rolled just below elbows, blue jeans and black boots.

Hair black, dyed. Red flannel skirt, just above the knees. Barbelled nipples pressing against white t-shirt.

Cars empty, takes a seat, plenty of space.

Glance held, slight smiles, back to the phones.

Next stop, 3 guys, not groomed,all savage. She looks at him, changes seat. Ruffians board, hungry looks, she looks tasty.

Small talk with a stranger, he knows up.

So do the savages. Cute girl, looks scared, Mr. Brawny there to save her. Not today.

Glares and catcalling, take it easy.
She with you?
She is now.

Tense moments, next stop. The 3 go in search of easier prey.

Just the two of them. Hi, nice to meet you. Instant attraction. She realizes shes holding his arm, apologies. It’s okay, he reassures.

Next stop, they both depart. Grab a drink? Sure. Heading off arm in arm.
