Description

— I don’t object, — the big man pulls the earphone out of his ear and sizes me up.
— Sorry, what? — it takes a moment for it to sink in.
— I’m not against sleeping with you. That’s what you meant, right?

For a split second, shock renders me numb—along with it, fear rolls in. When we stepped into the elevator, I didn’t think in vain that standing next to someone like that on a single square meter feels uncomfortable. An adult. Powerful. Enormous.
The kind of attention that seems to pass straight through clothing and makes your skin break out in goosebumps.

— I didn’t offer you anything, — having gathered myself, I say clearly, praying only that the elevator will stop as soon as possible. — If in the dog’s nickname “Keks” you’re imagining something improper and decided you’re being offered it just for the fact that you exist—then your ego has already made it to your brain. See a specialist.

I whirl around and practically fly out onto the floor the very second the doors open.

God, please let us never meet again.
