"Sorry, I didn't see you."
From Create Your Own Story
The tall stocky man shakes his head. "It happens." He looks at you, and raises a thick eyebrow. "What spooked you?"
"Uh," you blush again, admitting it. "This guy sort of grabbed me."
The big guy chuckles. "Can't say I blame him. You're a cute little thing."
Your blush increases. "Thanks."
"I'm Mac," he says, and offers a hand. You introduce yourself and shake - he's got a strong grip, and a rough hand.
"So what brings you out tonight, if you're not looking to get grabbed?" Mac asks.
"It's my birthday," you say. "First time here."
"My first time here, too," the guy says. "In the city for a conference." He regards you. "Happy Birthday."
"Thanks," you say.
"So if I grabbed you," Mac asks, "would you run away from me, too?" He hasn't cracked a smile once, and you're not sure if he's teasing you. He's got this really masculine thing going for him - again, he's not handsome, but he's really strong looking, and you can't help but wonder just how hairy he is under that sleeveless shirt, given the hair all over his arms. But he's more than a little intimidating.
You say...
