A masculine voice startled me, making me shoot to my feet. It was a man, maybe about my dad’s age. “Hey,” He said. “Hi…” “That’s a pretty dress.” he said, stepping closer. There was something that I didn't like about him, about this… “Oh, thanks… Emm... I need to go.” “Wait. Can I have your number?” This dude reeked incredibly like alcohol and other things… “Sorry, I have a boyfriend. He’s over there…” “I don’t see anyone…” “Sorry, I have to go.” “Wait…” The man grabbed my arm when I tried to leave. “Don’t go yet, let’s chat” Oh lord… Should I just shake my arm or scream for Valentin? No, I don't know if this man is going to react violently, I can't take that risk. Usually they give up after saying ‘no’ enough times, so maybe I can get out of this one smoothly. It’s not the first
