Goddamn it, it's fucking cold. He mutters to himself as he trudges through the darkened streets, he pulls the hood of his black jacket down over his head, the beanie only just keeping his ears warm. He leans against a wall for a few moments, rubbing his hands together, watching people leaving work. There are not many, but a few pass now and then. No one works this close to Christmas except these office drones and paper-pushers, why they work for fuck all pay is beyond me, he thinks to himself as he watches a few businessmen trudge through the thick snow to their cars, and others who walk the cold streets to the bus stops.
He shoves his hands in his pockets, feeling his pack of smokes, he leaves them. He knows he shouldn't, it's been a week without one, but he still carries the packet. He takes off down the street to the diner he is meant to meet her at. Ally is her name; they've spoken a few times. He thinks of what he will do to her after they have dinner and drinks together tonight. He thinks of massaging her breasts, squeezing and playing with her nipples. He wonders if they will be large, or small and dark. He thinks of fucking her brains out, he looks forward to it, she has shown a lot of interesting in him and he knows it. She had told him they'd be spending the night at her place, the kinky bitch, he thinks to himself. It has been so long since he'd been with anyone.
He arrives at the diner fifteen minutes ahead of time and orders a coffee from the blonde waitress behind the counter. He removes his hood and gloves, stuffing the gloves in his jeans pocket. Its warmer in the diner, he unzips his jacket to cool down a little. He adds two satchels of sugar to his coffee and takes a sip. The smoke packet still in his pocket presses against his leg, reminding him how badly he's craving one at that moment, he pushes the thought aside with another sip of coffee and a sideways glance at the newspaper beside him.
He sits and reads the newspaper for about half an hour, he notices the time as the blonde from the counter approaches and asks if he would like anything else. He buys another coffee, now growing impatient with his date that has not bothered to turn up. He decides to wait another half hour at most before he gives up.
After finishing with the newspaper he notes the time again realizing he has spent an hour waiting. Fucking bitch, didn't even turn up, what a waste of time. He thinks to himself. He gets up to leave, tossing the paper down on the table and leaving money for the coffees and a tip. He zips up his jacket and slips the hood over his head as he steps out into the cold night; snow has started falling, softly coating the street and cars. By now he is furious and frustrated and really craving that cigarette as he walks down the street back towards his apartment block.
He passes the office building again and sees that everyone has gone home, or so it seems as all the lights have been diminished and the windows darkened. He sees a tall brunette walking towards the same street as he is, the bus stop being just around the corner from an alley there. Still furious he feels for the cigarette packet in his jeans pocket, taking them out thinking to himself; what the fuck, why not. He opens the pack to find there is no lighter.
He approaches the woman now walking in front of him tapping her gently on the shoulder. She ignores him and keeps walking, pulling out a cigarette pack of her own and lighting a smoke, he scent wafting back and filling his nostrils. Bitch he thinks as he looks at her from behind, sleek black high heels, strapped at her pale ankles. She had long legs and a beautiful figure, much like that of the girl who rudely stood him up. She wore a short black skirt and tight white blouse, her nails painted red and brown hair hanging in ringlets past her shoulders.
Would love to fuck her, he thought to himself. Shaking the thought away he raised his voice a little.
"Excuse me ma'am, can I borrow your lighter? Just for a sec." He said as politely as he could, despite still being so angry.
"What? No, get away from me asshole."
