The mood is not right.

I had a hard enough time telling her how I feel on the dancefloor in just a speedo. I couldn't tell her that I wanted her to be my girlfriend sitting naked covered in writing.

"Maybe some other time Scarlet. It can wait till I put some pants on."

Scarlet frowned at my response. She was not the patient type. "Ingrid, stop the car."

Ingrid smoothly settled the car by the curb of a public street.

"Why did we stop?" I started feeling anxious again.

"Open your door Santiago." Scarlet was staring daggers at me.

"But..." I fidgeted the hands on my crotch "Someone might see me..."

"NOW."

My body acted automatically to her commanding tone. I merely opened the door just a bit before Scarlet pushed me on to the bright and sunny sidewalk. As I stumbled to catch my balance Scarlet crawled out of the car behind me then shut the door. I stood up to look her in the eyes and she grabbed me by the hands.

"Tell me what you were going to say back then and we can get back in the car."

I could already tell what she was doing. Holding my dignity hostage until I spilled my guts. We were on a public street next to a park. Anyone could walk up to us at any second now and see me naked. In fact, I could already hear footsteps approaching from both sides of the street and from the park behind me. I only had seconds before someone came close enough to see me wearing nothing but signatures. I had ****...

"Scarlet...I, I , I..." My heart was hammering, my face was red and sweaty, and...my God...Scarlet looked hot even when she was angry. "WILL YOU GO OUT WITH ME!?" I blurted loudly. "I really like you! I want you to be my girlfriend. OhmygodIamsoembarrassedrightnowIcan'tbelieveI'mdoingthis. Please say yes!" I jabbered out everything in desperation. Once I laid everything out in the open I felt like time slowed to a crawl. She only took a five seconds to respond, but each second felt like an eternity. Standing outside once again in the buff, I could hear the footsteps of potential witnesses getting louder.
