~~~[START]
{20:30}
"I'm late by 30 minutes," Zephyr looked at the diner door in wonder, thinking of whether the girl he had shown interest in had actually left.
Ding-ding-ding!
The doorbell rang loud as he opened its front. His gaze met an almost empty atmosphere. The remaining waiters seemed to be cleaning the chairs to ready their leave. So Zephyr decided to approach one.
"Hi… sorry," he spoke as the short male waiter caught his attention, "I'm looking for someone, she's… ehh, she's dark, a bit tall, and like… 'thick.'"
[Haha] Nix giggled slightly.
"What's her name?" asked the male waiter, his question probing yet his face flustered, as if trying to reassure himself that the handsome man in front of him was looking for someone else.
"Yeah, I don't know," he spoke in embarrassment, "but trust me, she's not that easy to miss, she's dark, and she even has a tattoo on her arm."
"Yeah, man… I'm sorry, but I don't know her!" he spoke in shouts, as he walked away in haste.
"What was that all about?" Zephyr's mind felt confused as he saw the man's strange actions.
[he was lying]
"Yeah, no shit, Sherlock," Zephyr brushed his forehead in thought, as he gave up on his mission. Moving to the door and pushing open its exit.
"Not even saying goodbye," spoke a voice from behind. Its words sounded rather submissive, as if making an effort to carry the traits of disappointment.
Turning around, Zephyr's eyes only widened. As his gaze caught sight of a woman whom his mind would deem most beautiful.
His gaze locked deep on her slightly mist-colored irises. Her face showing nothing but a wide, open smile.
"You are late, beautiful," she spoke, her body drawing closer as her eyes locked deep with his.
"Yeah, tell me about it, do you know how hard it is to find a person based on their description?" he asked as his voice slightly crackled. "I don't even know your name," he voiced, as he also walked closer.
Meeting in the middle, she raised her hand in greeting as it drew to a stop between them. "Lila," she said. As he drew his hand also, nearing hers and giving a firm handshake. "Zephyr," he announced.
"I'm curious, how did you describe me?" she asked, her words hinting at a bit of play, as if she already knew what it was. "Short, thick, and Asian," she softly laughed, thinking as to how the last word came to play, for she was not Asian but 'black'—or, to be exact, mixed.
______[A Million years later 🍑]
"I have to tell you something," Zephyr voiced, as he placed the glass of half-finished wine on the see-through table. "You are not the only person I'm interested in," he said, his words hiding the little bit of guilt he had, and showing nothing but a touch of unintended confidence.
"And who said you were the only one?" her voice questioned, causing him to flinch outwardly. "I'm kidding," she laughed, as he also giggled, "it's not like we are dating or anything," she continued. "So it's still allowed. And besides, I don't even know if I want you yet."
"What does that mean?" Zephyr grew curious, as she shrugged her shoulders. "That… we find out later," yet her words brought nothing but confusion.
[she means sex]
"Gulp!" Zephyr coughed up some wine, as Nix's words caused him to shiver inwardly.
"I'm kidding," Lila spoke in defense, as her giggles rang loud in the empty, dimly lit diner engulfed in darkness, darkness that spoke to the surrounding windows that stopped its comfort.
____[Skip]
"It's cold, isn't it," Zephyr stopped his pace as he removed the dark leather jacket he wore and hung it on Lila's shoulders. She smiled at his actions and said nothing, as faint blushes appeared at the ends of her cheeks.
"You know…" she was hesitant, "I'm a hunter. So even if I'm a C rank, the cold doesn't bother me that much," yet Zephyr only smiled at her words, as he could feel that, unlike her, the cold didn't seem to bother him at all.
Earlier that day, Lila had told him a lot of things about herself, including that she was a hunter and she only worked at the diner to help out, since it seemed to belong to her parents.
"Yeah," Zephyr spoke in an attempt to answer, "but a man has to do what a man has to do," he smiled at himself. His gaze met the now-empty streets they seemed to be taking a stroll in—it was peaceful, and although some might think it would seem scary since time touched night, the lights from the sky-stretched buildings brought in so much light that it would seem difficult to accuse the dark of being blinding.
"So, tell me, Mr. Beautiful," Lila taunted, as her words carried some type of untainted truth, "how is a 17-year-old with no job, school, or parents making a living for himself?" Her words carried doubt and an increase in unmatched curiosity.
"I'm a criminal," Zephyr whispered, as he smiled, and Lila passed the thought as a mere joke. "I just mostly code and do some cyber security, nothing big, but… enough," he continued, his words hinting at nothing more than the correction of the past.
And they walked. Their words mostly spoke of funny, amusing moments. At other times, they even found the chance to speak about what they loved and their experiences.
"I'm here," she finally uttered. As her body climbed the front gate's staircase that led to what seemed to be a miniature mansion, "You're rich… maybe you should have told me that before I told you about the other person I'm interested in," she laughed at his words, as her body leaned close and stopped his sentence with a kiss filled with hints so moist.
"I want you," her lips slowly uttered, their skin so close that her breath bounced off Zephyr's lips. With that, an instinct, very dominant, forced him to also leap. Grabbing her by the figure and pulling her closer to his being.
He was taller, so she had to stand on her tiptoes for her mouth to lock with his.
After some seconds, her lips moved back and retreated. As her hand raised high, placing a finger on Zephyr's mouth, forcing retreat. His eyes were still closed, as if the pleasure he felt seemed too much to bear its sight.
"You didn't think I would let you in, did you," she said. Her gaze meeting his, as his eyes now opened, revealing the reflection of herself through their ocean-colored irises. Then she leaned in, placing her head on his shoulder right next to his ear. "Call me, Mr. Beautiful," her words whispered, as she pushed forward, causing her body to move back. And, as if in response to her actions, the large gates automatically opened, allowing her to step in, as her face looked back and she waved, returning to the place she once came from.
"That was intense," Zephyr muttered almost in haste.
[yeah, tell me about it] Nix's voice rang loud, [and you even have a boner… disgusting] then laughter, not from Zephyr, but from that suspicious entity that spoke from a part of his being.
