The Gang of Romance

The Mystery Woman

One shining night in downtown Chicago, you come running out of The Exotic Ray, the biggest BDSM club in the whole city. You run blindly while not too far behind you, your friend October follows yelling after you. 

"Athena wait!" 

You don't even notice through your pain and tears. You continue running until you can't anymore. You drop to your knees right as October reaches you and takes you in her arms. You sob into her chest.

 "I can't do this. It hurts so fucking bad." 

She takes your chin in her hands and looks you in the eye. 

"SHH. You will be okay. I know it hurts like hell right now but you are strong. You'll get through this."

 You look at your best friend and struggle to speak what is on your mind. 

"I loved her. How could Camilla just ditch me for some other girl after all this time?" 

You say as you tear your collar off your neck and throw it in the water below.

 "I don't know Rain. But I do know that she isn't worthy of your love." 

"I just want to fucking strangle her. Dammit!" 

"As much as I would love to see that, she would just enjoy it."

 "Yeah you're probably right." 

You sigh. 

"Can you take me home now, Web?" 

"Of course let's get you home." 

She pulls you up off the ground and walks you home.

The next day rolls around and you wake up feeling like you got run over by a truck.

 "Ugh."

 "I better get dressed for the day."

 ✵DING ✵ 

"Who the fuck is texting me at 6:30 in the morning?" 

 You walk over to grab your phone off your nightstand. You glance at the screen to see a text from an unknown number.

 "That is definitely not something you wake up to everyday, might as well see who this is."

 You open the message. 

" I know you don't know me but I'm not here to hurt me." 

You think to yourself. 

"Should I respond? Fuck it why not." 

You start to type back...

" Who the fuck is this and why are you texting so early in the morning?" 

She responds. 

"How about we meet face to face?" 

"Where do you want to meet?"

 "How about at the coffee shop on the corner of 16th st." 

" Okay be there at 5." 

 Exactly 5 minutes later you show up at the coffee shop and pull out your phone to text the person. 

" I'm here. Where are you?" 

You see her texting back. 

"I'm sitting at one of the front tables." 

You turn to see a stunning bad ass of a woman with enchanting green eyes. She is so perfect. Her tattoos and scars make you hot all over. You stand there wondering whether you should just go up to her or stare for a minute.
