Foxy Red
5th of December
It was a cold winter night in December. It was pretty late but the Tinto Café in Fulham, London was still opened. There were not much customers left in the café, a middle-aged man, two teenage-boys, the employees of the café and a young beautiful lady.
The lady sat next to the window drinking a Latte Macchiato. Her long golden hair fell like velvet over her shoulders while her formal black dress accented her petite figure. With her light blue eyes she gazed outside the window. The blond woman already sat for an hour in the café and drank her second cup of coffee. It seemed like she was waiting for someone. Several minutes after she ordered the third cup of coffee a new customer set his foot into the café. It was a pretty plump man wearing an old fashioned suit. His head was round like an apple or an orange and it seemed like he was going to go bald soon. The way how he looked you could tell that he was sweating much. With his stubby fingers he pulled a handkerchief out of his pocket. With that he wiped the sweat of his face. Shortly after the man looked at the other customers he went to the table where the woman was sitting and sat down at the chair in front of her.
The woman pinned her cold stare at the man and began to speak:
"Why did you call me and asked me to come here? I thought that the last time we met I made it clear that I never want to see you again."
The man just laughed with a snort before he answered:
"Cool down my love. I want you to help me with something. I found out that my beloved wife is cheating on me with some other guy. Either we get rid of her or of the man she is meeting."
The man laughed again as if he couldn't believe that his wife is cheating on him.
"I would have an affair as well if I was married to an ugly pig like you. I don't need and want to help you."
said the woman with a sharp voice. Even thought the other customers couldn't hear what the conversation was about they could feel the tense in the air.
After a while the man spoke again:
"Oh my dear Alice you can't reject me and you should know that I know your secrets that no other people should."
The woman fell silent for a moment after the man said that.
