SUCCUBUS

Excerpt:

i certainly didn’t expect THIS to happen, but that’s always how it goes, isn’t it? in the midst of another insanely crowded shoreditch steel-wood-and-glass-bar. this awesome girl. she kind of wades forward, smiling, through a vast ocean of faceless, chatty, after-work binge-drinkers. venus rising from a foam shell. but draped in a scarlet-red, sexy laser-cut cocktail dress. the most staggering face i’ve ever seen. at first i think i’m dreaming, it can’t be me she’s moving towards, smiling at. but she adamantly floats precisely to the place where i’m standing. on invisible angel wings. and a couple of seconds later, now only a few steps away from me, she still hasn’t stopped smiling. my knees feel like butter and the situation hits me with utmost sincerity. adrenaline. hair stiffening on the back of my neck. fucking hell, i MUST be dreaming this. jesus. how unbelievably beautiful this girl is. i’ve never ever seen anything like it. black hair, white skin, green eyes. i almost drop my drink. almost shit in my pants, really really really.
“you look very sweet, babee. wanna buy me a drink?”, she says, still smiling. every-word-is-on-the-beat – wow!
“sure. what you fancy?”
“bloody mary?”
“sure, of course. don’t move.”
pause. “i won’t.”
