Chapter 10
Red still had a bit of time for herself and she hasn't seen her friends in a while, so when Cindy asked her to come to her apartment for some help she couldn't say no. Red was looking around the hallway while Cindy was unlocking her front door while glancing back at her.
" So what's with the dress? You look like a Gingerbread cookie." Cindy asks as she opens the door and invited Red in.
" That's the idea I guess since I work at a bakery" Red looked around the small one bedroom apartment, the smell of oil paints invaded her nose as her eyes traveled to the clutter of art supplies in her living room. Cindy didn't have much furniture just one white Chaise longue chair in the corner and a bunch of lamps and colorful paintings on the plain white walls, however what did stand out was the mountain of dry red and white roses on the floor next to the chair, something that looks completely out of place. " Where did you get so many roses? "Red asked as she picked one up to smell
"Here and there, raided the back of flower shops while Randy kept the florist busy and did a little grave robbing at night too."
"You mean you stole them?" Red corrected with her open mouth.
"Hey they were gonna throw the roses out anyways and we only took the old dead roses from graves, nothing serious. " she defended " Make yourself at home while I get the stuff ready" Cindy said to her as she threw her bag on the open kitchen counter while making her way to her room.
Red rolled her eyes and headed towards the kitchen while unbuttoning her pea coat then reaching out to the tea kettle on the kitchen sink, "mind if I make some tea? " she shouted out just loud enough for her friend to hear her.
" Sure, tea bags in the pantry" Cindy shouted back, Red started washing the kettle then filled it up with water and set it to the stove to boil while getting out the tea when Cindy came out of the room with a black plastic bag over her arm. " Here, I need you to take off your clothes and put this on" she said as she starts to open the bag.
Red blinked at her as Cindy takes out a long red cape with a hood and a white short dress that looks like it can be mistaken for laundre, "I'm not gonna put that on"
" but I bought it just for you"
" I thought you needed my help with something, not modeling for you in underwear"
Cindy bit her lower lip and looked down, "Uh about that, the help I need is for you to be my model for a painting I wanna do"
Red groans out "No way"
"Oh come on, it's almost Halloween and there has been a lot of demands for fairy tale characters gone dark, you won't be completely nude and I'll pay you" Cindy pleaded
you should go see the street corners of Fable Town if you wanna see dark, Red thought to herself as she shook her head. " Why couldn't you ask Kristen for help then?"
"Because she's already modeled for me as Snow White last week" she replied while walking towards a medium sized canvas against the wall, it was a painting of Kristen dressed in a yellow and blue dress that's torn, her mouth had blood spilling out while she held a red bitten apple in her hand that had blood oozing out of it, a very beautiful yet frightening painting.
" I can't be drenched in blood Cindy, what would my mother and grandmother say if I get home all messy?"
" Oh you don't have to worry about that, this painting I have the idea of being eerie rather than gory, you're the only one who can pull this off, you have the looks of the perfect Red Riding Hood"
Red tensed at the comment but then relaxed and tried not to smirk, finding it a little funny since she IS red riding hood. " Promise me no nudity is involved? "
" Cross my heart" she replied as she drew an invisible X on her chest, Red sighs and starts to undress, making Cindy cheer for her victory as she heads over to her small blank canvas that's on the easel.
Once dressed Cindy sat her down on the chair next to the window, nodding her to lean over it while she did a few adjustments to her cape then started placing the roses around where Cindy thought it would seem fit, "how long will this take?"
" Not too long since this is a small portrait" she answered as she starts to do a quick sketch of Red in the canvas, they were quiet for a while, both focusing on the job each had before Cindy spoke again. " So you and Travis seem to be getting serious "
Red was looking up at her until Cindy stopped her and ordered her to not move, Red turned her head back to her pose and blushed, "not serious...just close.."
"What's keeping you to from hooking up with him?"
"He's older than me" Red lied knowing full well she had a few hundred years in her. She couldn't well tell the truth, no matter how much she wanted to, it's a secret far too big for herself to share about her Fable community.
So? You're eighteen, he's twenty four, both adults, it's not that bad. Travis tries to hide his feelings, even though he slips up from time to time, and you obviously got a thing for him"
Red glanced up at Cindy and blushed even deeper, "t-that obvious, really? "
" Yep, I can roast a marshmallow on how hot you're gaze is" she said as she puts down the pencil and prepares the paint brush.
Red sighs and looks out the window in thought, "I just don't wanna date"
" don't or can't? " Cindy asked as she continues to drink in the color of the hood to the canvas, trying to capture the exact shading. " Someone you're afraid of finding out Red? Your mom and Nana maybe?"
Red felt a sweat drop rolling the side of her forehead, getting uncomfortable with the questions, she hates how Cindy is hammering down every nail she got, and Red can't even move a muscle "I just don't know what would my mother say"
" Psh, what can she say? You're a grown woman with needs, what's she gonna do anyways if you do go out with guys? Call the cops?"
Red blood went cold at that, swallowing hard by the image of Bigby ripping her friends to shreds for knowing too much, even though they don't.
"or you're gonna regret it when I catch you"
" Still...I-i don't wanna risk it.." she hesitantly said
Cindy glanced up from her work to Red's face, studying her for a long while before going back to the canvas. " whatever or whoever you are afraid of, you shouldn't let It control you Red. If you truly want happiness, you should take risks, no matter the consequences, or stay alone and miserable for the rest of your life..."
Red's chest went tight on that, feeling the loneliness creep up at her by the mere thought. She went silent, no longer having the heart to continue on with the complicated subject.

The streets were dark, dimmed out street lights where the only source of lighting the way for the man Bigby was chasing. Once again Bigby had a call about a woman screaming in the apartment building, followed by a few beating sounds and a man yelling. Another husband beating up his poor wife he thought when Bigby was heading to the apartment door, until he heard the sounds of fabric ripping while the woman cried and begged no.
" Son of a-" Bigby grunted out as he stormed the rest of the way and kicked down the door to see a man with a red beanie stripping the clothes off from the woman on the living room floor. The man quickly got up and threw the torn up skirt with great haste.
" Hey hey! Let me explain! This whore owes me a free night! " He defended himself but Bigby didn't care, he lashed out at him and punched him in the face, making him bust the window with his head. The Fable cried out and rubbed his head as his eyes looks around for an escape.
Front door or fire escape? Bigby thought to herself as he pops his knuckles, knowing that those are the only two options they always pick to get away, or there is option 3, which no one hardly goes for. "Give it up Smee, you can't out run me or beat me in a fight, just give up and come quietly and I promise I'll go easy on you when I kick your ass. " Bigby gave his option as he crossed his arms. The former pirate glanced down at the crying hooker as she reaches for her skirt, he than looks back at Bigby, eyes full of fear. He picked up a lamp from the floor and threw it right at Bigby, he covered his face with his arms and looked back up to see Smee heading out the window. " Fire escape it is" he said out loud as he jumps out after him.
Smee tumbled his way down and ran into the street ally with Bigby on his heels, luckily for Bigby, Mr. Smee isn't a fast man. It didn't take too long to catch up and beat him down to a pulp in a dark dirty alley. " Please s-s-stop! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! " The Pirate begged.
Bigby took out his handcuffs and forced Smee's arms behind his back. "You're under arrest" he started as he cuffed him down and dragged him to his feet. " I would have expected this from your old Captain, not you Smee" Bigby said with disgust.
" N-n-no, Captain would never-" Mr. Smee tried to defend his caption but stopped, not seeing the point in arguing in his situation.
"A lot of loyalty for a low life asshole" Bigby grunted out, remembering reading the files of Captain Hook and his crew, all known for thievery and rape, and few that live in the very building Red lives in. That rubbed Bigby the wrong way.
Mr. Smee made a face of anger then looked away, "we may have been nasty back in the day but the Captain never stooped low to rape a low class whore, he perfered the young looking beauties with talents"
" Oh really? Like who?" Bigby asked, making him worry that Hook could have his eyes of Beauty or even Snow White.
" Like I'd tell you who my caption fancys" Smee scoffed, only to shriek in fear as Bigby raised his fist up. " OKAY OKAY! DON'T HIT ME!" He begged. " He's been going to the Trip Trap to check out Red Riding Hood sing!"
Bigby raised his eyebrows in surprise of the answer. " Red sings at the Trip Trap? For how long has this been going on? "
" I-i don't know, not that long. She's been working as a bartender but sings for extra tips on Fridays, rumor has it if you pay her well enough she'll uh, take care of you in the back. If you know what I mean"
Bigby felt sick to his stomach, he punched Smee in the face to get rid of that disgusting look on his face when he giggled at the thought. " move your ass, taking you back to the Woodlands"
Once Bigby locked him up, sighed the paperwork and got the name and number of the victim, he barged into his own apartment in frustration. He took out a Midas Gold and gulped it down before crushing the can and slamming it down to the table. " Who the hell even came up with that lie anyways? " Bigby asked out loud, thinking back at the rumor that supposedly went around.
He washed his face in the kitchen sink and reached out for the rag that hanged on the wall by the small calendar. It had to be a Friday, Bigby growled at that looking away from the tiny calendar while shaking his head. "Not gonna go, it could even be a lie" He grunted out as he took another beer and say himself down to the only sofa he got, he turned on the tv and started flipping channels.
After flipping all 3 of his channels for the 3rd time, Bigby sighs and turns it off and pushed himself off the couch chair, he stretches his arms over his head and lightly sniffs his armpit and made a face of his own stench.
Did ran after 2 guys today. He reminded himself as he starts to strip his clothes and heads to the bathroom, he turns on the valve of hot water, leaving it to run for a while as he takes off his boxers. Bigby glances at his reflection in the cracked mirror of his bathroom, rubbing his rugged chin as he stares at the dark bags under his eyes.
" When was the last time I had a full nights rest? " He asked out loud before sighing and taking out his toothbrush, he grabs the tube of toothpaste and squeezes out on his brush and sticks it into his mouth as he steps right under the shower head. Bigby brushes his teeth as his body gets soaked under the hot water, burning his skin yet giving him soothing comfort all over his muscular aching body. Once done brushing he reaches over to his bar of soap and starts to scrub off the grime.
Bigby would scrub harder each time Red came into mind, as if he can wash her out of his head by doing so. It bothered him as what Smee said to him about Red 'taking care' of those who pay her, like as if she was some whore. " She's a virgin, she's not like that" he said to himself as he scrubbed his arm harder.
you can be a virgin and still take care of men... That thought made Bigby stop completely, what if that was the case? What if she does whore herself? What if she just lied to him and is not a virgin at all? And all he's been doing is arresting fables who probably already slept with her, Red might have been a good innocent girl in the old days but now that she has changed she possibly lost all respect to herself.
Bigby got pissed off at very questions he himself brought up, he quickly washed his hair and rinsed his body off before turning off the valve and stepped out of the shower, yanking the only towel he has right off of the wall as he walked back into the small open area of the apartment. He dried his hair up a bit before throwing the towel over his shoulder and lit up a cigarette, letting the water drip down from his still naked body. He inhaled the smoke while glancing back at his calendar, still thinking of the information Smee said about Red working at the Trip Trap.
" No..still not going" he told himself, he tried to look away again but the image of Red still lingered in his thoughts, eating him alive if she was really there or not. After one long moment Bigby sighs and puts out his cigarette in his ashtray full of butts and ash and starts to get dressed.
" Just for 5 minuets...5 minutes and I'm out of there..."
XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX
Red blushed wildly as she grabbed a hold of the corners of the table, Holly was zipping up the back of the red sleeveless dress that was just too short. Her breast so close to spilling out and her white panties would expose every time she would lean over as the dress would inch up, Red rather had the white dress back on than this one, it was like a nuns robe compared to this.
" Do I REALLY have to put this on Holly? This is just wayyy too exposing" Red squeaked out as Holly adjusted the back.
" Hey, not my fault you came in late and still had the bakery uniform on, be grateful one of Lily's old dress was here in the back" Holly replied as she turned over Red and fixed her hair up a bit.
Red still couldn't understand how Lily fit in this dress, Red was slimmer and shorter than her yet she could fit into it. She kept to herself about it however to avoid Holly's wrath, Red added more red lipstick on as Holly takes a peak out the door where Woody was talking care of the bar for the troll as she helps get Red ready. " How do I look? " Red asked as she fixed her cleavage.
" You look like bait, but it's gonna have to do" she replies as she steps aside and picks up Red's coat to hang, Red takes a peak out of the crack of the door and gulps out loud. The Trip Trap looked like a house of villains, almost every seat and stool was taken. There was Jafar, Gaston, Captain Hook, Rumplestillskin, and many others Red hasn't seen before. She took a deep breath as she reaches over to her guitar and pulls the strap over her head when Holly said something that caught her attention.
"Hey Red, why don't you wear this? " she asks as she holds out the pendant necklace Travis gave her. Red would always carry it around but never had the courage to put it on, it just felt better as a good luck charm than jewelry.
" I i uhh.." she tried to explain but Holly waved her excuses off as she wraps the red ribbon around her neck and ties a bow to the side, she tied it up like a choker but left it loose enough for the pendant to hang.
" Okay, now you're ready kid. Knock them dead" Holly said to her as she slaps Red's butt before walking back to the bar. Red shook her head and caressed the pendant with her delicate fingers, feeling strange wearing it for the first time. She grabs ahold of the guitar neck and took deep breathes, getting mentally prepared then finally steps out of the back room and into the bar, where eyes automatically wandered to her and fables starts whistling to her.
Red went right to the corner of the bar, where Holly dimmed out the lights and added one red bare bulb above just for her, Red plugged herself into the amp and adjusted the volume, the Trip Trap is a small bar so she didn't needed to have it that loud. " How's everybody doing tonight? " she asked the crowd of fables, getting a positive response as an answer. Red gave out a small giggle and smiles as she plucks a string of her guitar, feeling the familiar rush going through her body. "Hope you boys are ready for some fun tonight" Red smoothly spoke out as she started to play.
The night was full of life and drinks, the Trip Trap was booming, Holly was pouring drinks one after the other, the little bar was full of cigarette smoke, making the air hot and heavy and it was all thanks to Red. First she played 'Black Magic Woman' by Santana for the opening, next was 'Devil Got a Hold Of Me' then 'What Difference Does It Make? ' by The Smiths, the crowd was loving it to the point of surprising Red.
After the end of the the 3rd song Woody brought her a glass of water to ease her throat as the crowd was getting more drinks for themselves. "So how about some requests for the audience huh? " Red asked, making her giggle as some fables shouts out, only to get songs by bands she hasn't learned to play yet. " Sorry guys don't know most of those songs" she nervously giggles as some guys gave her a playful 'Aww booo' then laughs afterwards.
" How about 'Damaged Goods' by Gang of Four? " a man with a British accent called out, Red scanned the crowd and spots the man sitting at the bar with a drink in his hand. He tilts his black hat up, revealing his tattooed face to Red. It was none other than Georgie Porgie, a very popular man from what she hears. " Unless you don't know that one as well" he smirks at her.
Red smirks back at him while raising her thin eyebrow, she was too much in her zone to be weary of the man. "Now that I can do" she said to him with a wink, causing the other men to make wooing sounds and more whistles as she started to play the song. Red glanced around once more before licking her red lips for moisture before she started to sing.
"The change will do you good
I always knew it would
Sometimes I'm thinking that I love you
But I know it's only lust
Your kiss so sweet
Your sweat so sour"
Georgie kept his eyes on Red as she sang, slowly bringing his drink to his lips
"Your kiss so sweet
Your sweat so sour
Sometimes I'm thinking that I love you
But I know it's only lust
The sins of the flesh
Are simply sins of lust"
Red became lost in her own music, beads of sweat rolls down her skin, each time she rest her weight on the other leg her red dress reaches up higher, unaware that her panties were beginning to show.
"Sweat's running down your back
Sweat's running down your neck
Heated couplings in the sun
Colder couplings in the night
Your kiss so sweet
Your sweat so sour
Sometimes I'm thinking that I love you
But I know it's only lust
The change will do you good
I always knew it would
You know the change will do you good
You know the change will do you good"
Holly poured out a drink to one of her customers, finally having a moment to look up at Red's performance rather than listening, she let's out a silent gasp by the very image of her. Red moving her body as she tares up her guitar, strands of her light chestnut colored hair stuck to her face due to her sweat, and Red licking her lips whenever she pauses her singing for a breath. Holly looked around her bar, noticing almost every single male fable staring at her with hungry eyes. Time to prepare the crowd control bat...She thought to herself.
"Damaged goods
Send them back
I can't work
I can't achieve
Send me back
Open the till
Give me the change
You said would do me good
Refund the cost
You said you're cheap but you're too much"
All of the fables in the bar started cheering and whistling
"Your kiss so sweet
Your sweat so sour
Sometimes I'm thinking that I love you
But I know it's only lust
The change will do you good
I always knew it would
You know the change will do you good
You know the change will do you good"
They started going wild, getting louder by the ending.
"I'm kissing you goodbye
I'm kissing you goodbye
I'm kissing you goodbye"
Most of the fables in the bar started to help out Red at the chorus of the song while others continues to cheer.
"(Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye)"
"I'm kissing you goodbye"
"(Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye)"
"I'm kissing you goodbye"
"(Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye)"
"I'm kissing you goodbye"
"(Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye)"
Red started to join the singing crowd with the end as they reach towards the end together.
"(Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye)
(Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye)
(Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye)
Bye!"
Red gave out a huge smile as everyone gave a louder cheer and started throwing money in her tip jar that was on her stool. She places her guitar to the side and quickly fixes her dress before giving a bow. She looks up at Georgie then, hoping to see any signs of approval of her song performance. She smiles at him as he raises his glass and gives her a wink before taking a drink.
"That was quite a performance you put up Red, Woody complements her as she walks towards the bar with her jar.
" Thanks Woody, it was awesome! " she cheers
" I bet it was, you looked like you were getting real into it" Holly spoke next.
" Good thing Gren decided not to come tonight, he'd start flipping tables with all the screaming" Red laughs as she reaches for the water Holly gave, but failed when a tall man reached at Red and pulls her close to him by the waist.
" That was quite a lovely show you put on my dear," said a man with short brown wild hair, dark eyes and a prosthetic hand. Had on a long black leather coat and a belt with a gold buckle, making him look like an urban pirate until it hit Red on who this man was.
" Captain Hook I presume? " she asks as he looks down at her, his dark eyes wandering down at her cleavage, making her feel uncomfortable.
" You presume right my dear, Killian Hook at your service miss Red," he tipped his invisible hat to her.
" Oh, well it's very nice to meet you Mr. Hook..." Red politely said as she tries to slip away from his strong grip on her hip but he held her closer to him.
" My miss Red, may I have the pleasure of buying you a drink? You must be thirsty for something stronger after your performance" he said with his smooth accent as his good hand creeps down below her dress, he was lifting it up and snaked his hand under and gently rubbed her over her panties. Red choked on the water and quickly pushed his hand away from her.
" Sorry, I dont drink while I'm working, and I for sure as hell don't drink with pigs" she shot back as she goes to hide behind the bar in order to stay away from Hook.
" Oh my dear, you must relax and let loose. As well as take a risk, you never know, you might actually like what this 'pig' can do. " he said to her
" I rather not, so don't you dare go near me." Red puffed out as she hides her tip jar behind the bar.
Hook gave her a smirk and reached out to touch her face but Holly quickly grabbed ahold of him from his wrist "Watch what line you cross or you're gonna lose your other hand pal."
Hook gave her a nasty look but then quickly puts on his mask and gives her a charming smile. " Didn't know there was a line to cross, my apologies Miss Holly. " he says to her as he retrieves his hand back.
Holly guides Red to the door to the back room as he eyes him then faces Red. " Take your break in the back Red, before you do though I need you to take the crates of the empty bottles in the alley, it's cluttering up the place"
Red was about to say something but then looks back at Hook and nodded, "Okay, thanks Holly" she thanked her before she quickly retreated back. Red made haste as she was organizing the empty bottles of liquor in order for them not to fall and break when she takes them out, she unlocked the back door and started to take out each create one by one, shivering as the cold air hits her bare skin. Red walked further out in the alley and bends over to carefully place down the create to avoid making loud noises when she heard the sound of the door closing, she quickly gasps and pops up when she sees the man named Georgie Porgie smirking at her with his hand on the door.
" Now ain't that a lovely site to behold" he said to her as he walks towards her with a cocky grin. Red blushes at his words, realizing that he saw her butt as she bent over. She quickly pulls her dress down the best she could and crossed her arms over her chest to hide the evidence of what the cold air was doing to her.
" W-what are you doing? " She tries to sound firm.
" Oh just hear wondering if a lovely thing like you needed help, forgot your coat I see. "
" I figured I could have done this quickly, didn't realize it was this much though. " she honestly confessed, Georgie stood in front of her looking down at her petite figure as she tries to avert her eyes to his gaze.
" Well good thing I'm here to keep you warm" he said as he leans in, "I have deal for you love, how about you leave this dump and work for me, I'll pay you handsomely and you get to sing and dance on a real stage"
Red leans back away as Georgie gets closer, her back bumps into the wall of the building by doing so. " I uh, thanks for the offer, but I am not interested"
" Just think about it Red, you would be the main attraction in the Pudding and Pie. Men will throw money at your direction just to see you dance for them, I can teach you many things girl, on stage and even in the bedroom, went I'm done with you, people are gonna be begging to have a taste of your pie love" Georgie started to caress the curves of Red's body, making her flinch and push away.
" I'm not interested in anything, and if they want a piece of 'my pie' they should try the bakery then" Red shot back before she started to walk away until Georgie grabbed her by the wrist and slams her back against the wall.
" I don't like smart asses love, you best find something useful with your mouth before I find something else for you " He hissed at her as he leans his body over hers.
" Get off me if you know what's good for you! " Red threaten as she tries to push his slim body away from hers.
"Would you consider my offer if I tell you I can protect you from greedy hands? Or hand in the situation with Hook, or how about away from the Big Bad Wolf? I've heard The bastard has been stalking around your apartment, maybe he wants to finish the job with you" he says as he thrusts his pelvis close to Red's hips, making her skin crawl.
" I rather take my chances, so now leave me the hell alone! " she yelled the last sentence as she tries to him but Georgie grabs her fist and pushes them up against the wall and leans in to her face.
" No can do love, not until I get what I came here for" he whispers to her as he goes in for a kiss, Red tenses her body and shuts her eyes as she feels his lips ghost over her red ones, but was saved by the sound of a familiar voice.
" Georgie!" They both looked up at the direction of the voice and saw Bigby standing at the front of the alley, "didn't you hear what the little lady said? " Georgie growled at his direction as Bigby heads up to their direction, "leave her the fuck alone, or you're gonna answer to me"
Red looks up at Bigby with surprise yet relief to see him, could never picked a better time for him to show up. Georgie scoffed under his breath and pulls away from Red "I'll see you next time Red," he said to her before walking away. Red sighs and fixes her dress as Bigby walks up to her.
" Are you alright? " He asks
"Yeah, I'm fine. Thanks for the help..." Red replies as she pulls her hair away from her face. Bigby averts his eyes as Red turns away to avoid her breast from popping out of the tiny dress. " Damn creeps.." she whispers more to herself rather than Bigby.
" What do you expect with a song like the one you picked? " He reminded her as he glances over his shoulder.
" You were here the whole time? I didn't see you in the crowd"
" Just arrived at the last song.."
"I see.." Red raised an eyebrow as she crosses her arms, " are you here to ask me a million questions again? "
"I uhh, just came for a drink. Didn't think it would be this full." He lied on the drink part but had to be honest with the crowd part, that took him by surprise.
" What are you doing out here then? "
" Now who's the one with a million questions, " Bigby smirks at her.
" A girl gotta be careful, you've been popping up at my home, hope you're not stalking me"
" Only been doing my job to protect the fables of our community" he answers her as he steps closer, feeling the mischievous wolf inside him come to life, Bigby can never understand why but it always seems like Red is the only girl that brings the bad out of the wolf.
" Oh really? Then why-" Red was cut off by the sound of the front door of the Trip Trap slam open, a group of loud drunken fables started walking home together, slurring and singing together with arms over each shoulders and dragging a passed out man. "Crap!"
" What's wron-woah!" Bigby tries to ask but got cut short when Red pulled him closer to her by his coat.
" You say you protect fables? Prove it right now! " she whispers to his face as then pulls him further to her to the point of his body touching hers.
" Red, what are you-"
" Shhh, hide me!" She interrupted him as she hides her face to his chest, Bigby glances back at the group of men and realized some were Hook's pirate crew as they cursed like sailors. He looked down Red and sighs as he wraps her up in his long brown coat to hide her like it was a curtain and held one arm around her waist as his other arm rested above her head and against the wall.
" You know the alley is too dark for them to see," he reminds her.
" I don't wanna risk it, I'm trying to avoid Hook and his crew, now shush" Red whispers to him as Bigby rolls his eyes. His ears perked as one of the pirates mentioned Ref.
" Mm mm mmmmm! The Red looked amazing tonight"
" Good enough to eat up in the bedroom! " another fable shot out while the rest laughs, Bigby let's out a low growl and Red simply blushed and looked away.
" Gonna go kick his ass" Bigby grunted out but Red quickly wrapped her arms around his waist to stop him.
" You seriously gonna start a fight with a bunch of drunken pirates that hate you in front of a bar full of MORE drunken guys that hate you too? "
Bigby sighs in annoyance and wraps his arm around her again, their was loud crashing sounds coming from the alley, Bigby glanced at the entrance to see one of the fables was knocked down into the trashcans.
" Watch where you bloody go!" The one on the ground yelled.
" You should watch where you're going you codfish! Need to take a piss" the over sized man said as he started walking deeper into the alley. He was a big muscular man out of the 6 men, it was possible Bigby could take him but would be in trouble if his buddies helped him out. Red froze by the sound of the heavy footsteps getting closer to their location, until they stopped just a few feet away from them and unzips his pants.
The smell of urine invaded Bigby's sensitive nose, tempted to snort out the disgusting smell but kept quiet and buries his nose in Red's soft hair. She smells of sweat and smoke due to playing in a crowded room full of men smoking, but underneath it all Red smelled of roses that made Bigby's heart beat faster, he tangled his fingers in her silky smooth hair, getting lost in her feminine scent.
Red was too worried to notice Bigby's actions, she swallowed a ball of saliva and tries to focus on something else then the thought of getting caught. She hides her face in Bigby's chest and takes a deep breath, getting it caught in her throat by the unfamiliar scent and blinked her eyes. Bigby smelled of soap and freshness and something else that Red can only describe it as, 'manly'. She blushed at that as she removes her face from his chest and looks up only to have her eyes meet with his.
They both stared at each other, body squish together and senses at a high. Bigby was about to say something but Red blinked away by the sound of the big man walking away with the other drunks. After a few moments they both broke apart, averting there eyes away from each other as they adjust themselves.
" You owe them money or something? " Bigby asks, not looking at her. Red crosses her arms and shook her head.
"Captain Hook was a perverted jerk to me, wanted something I didn't like. So I was worried that maybe his men might kidnapp me for him or something. " Red confessed her worries as they both looked at each other at the same time.
"You don't have to worry about Hook for a while. " Bigby said while lighting a cigarette.
" Why should I not worry, "
"I saw what he did to you at the bar, gave him a few words of wisdom if he ever bothers you again. "
" Which were? "
" If he touches you again he's gonna lose his other hand" he puffed out.
" Very wise words indeed"
"Yep. Even took his fake hand as a demonstration" Bigby said as he pulls out the prosthetic hand from his coat pocket, Red raised an eyebrow at it by the sight of the blood on its fingers.
" What's with the blood? " she had to ask
"Oh I uh..kinda smacked him around with it" he confessed while waving the hand around.
Red couldn't help herself at that, she started laughing out loud by the thought of Hook being slapped with his own hand. Bigby smirks at her reaction and starts to chuckle himself while throwing the hand in the dumpster.
" We should get you inside or you'll freeze to death" Bigby said to her as he reaches the small of her back. Usually Red would have hissed at him and pushed him away but after what he did to Hook and hid her from trouble, she was in a friendly good mood.
" Speak for yourself, your hair is still wet, hop out of the shower and changed? " Red asks as she reaches out to comb his hair with her fingers. " You're gonna get sick"
Bigby rolled his eyes at that, "worried about my health suddenly? That's a first" he teased as he messed up her hair.
"Yeah, don't get used to it though, it's a one time deal" she said to him before walking away out of the alley.
Bigby eyes her down as he follows her out as well, reminding himself that the road to Red's forgiveness takes patience and baby steps.
hope you guys enjoyed it! Sorry for the wait, I had writer block so I just kinda messed around for a while. Started watching Once Upon a Time on Netflix and zomg I am loving iiiit! I was also browsing the Web for Red Riding Hood stuff and found a coloring book of Little Red and Georgie Porgie. I was like 'OMG IDEA!' So there you go.
Hope you guys liked the choice of song for Red to play, I just LOVE Gang of Four, and to me 'Damaged Goods' is right for a new stripper. For those who haven't heard of them I highly recommend looking them up, as well as the other choice of songs.
Don't forget to favorite, follow, and write a review about it. I missed hearing you guys thoughts, cause you know, mine are in the gutter lolz.
Until next time.
