#darkwants: evita ft ezra 01

[fcundaticnsofdecay]

he was absolutely the bane of her existence. he had been ever since she had met him years ago. of course he had only recently become a thorn in her side recently. she rolled her eyes at how he seemed intent on making some sort of deal," you know you don't have to look out for me to get under my mom's skirt again, she barely pays attention so you don't have to wait around." she didn't know what game he was playing at but she wanted no part of it. besides it wasn't like she was plastered. it had been a very long day and now it had turned into an even longer night. her hand reached back into her purse to pull out her phone. only to finally glance up at him," you take me home, you don't walk me inside and you keep your hands to yourself, deal?"

ezra placed a hand against his chest, feigning being wounded by her accusation even though he knew evita had no reason to believe him and his thoughts towards her weren't the kind some pure gentleman would have. "as soon as you get in some sketchy looking car with some questionable looking driver that says they're your uber, i'll go home, how about that? and i'll make sure to write down the license plate number for your mother in case you don't pick up your phone tomorrow." dramatically phrased, but fairly accurate to how ezra thought of the situation. truthfully, he was surprised that more people didn't use ride shares or whatever they were in order to prey on drunk girls who wouldn't remember what happened to them, or who wouldn't talk even if they did. as far as ezra was concerned, she was taken a stupid risk, even if getting in a car with him was just as questionable of a choice.

"could have fooled me," mumbled evita under her breath. if it was anyone else she was certain they would have walked away. that she would have been able to get herself home with no troubles. instead she was dealing with someone who was maybe as stubborn as her. she was leaning down to pull off her shoes which were starting to become painful. they were placed in her left hand and she stood back upright," you're being very rude you know," she shot back," i can get an uber, that's the whole point of ride services and i'm not that drunk!" sure she had, had a few drinks but she had switched to water before deciding to call it a night. she shifted her weight from one leg to the other," why don't you go inside and just find some barfly to hook up with?"

"i'm aware of the first part." ezra returned without missing a beat, leaving it up to her to determine if he meant he knew she was a fully grown woman, or that she didn't want his help. both were patently clear, but ezra was very good at ignoring things that didn't suit his whims, and just because he didn't get his way on the first try didn't mean he couldn't be patient. outright defiance was usually a turn off, but a little struggle while things dragged out was fine. it made him think of fishing, how they were still on the line and getting closer even as they fought, unaware their efforts didn't add up to anything. "you're being very defensive, you know. is that the booze talking? because i bet you got here on your own with a lot less booze in your system."

all she wanted was for him to be on his way. after all she knew what kind of man ezra was. her mother never seemed to realize how much she actually knew. she shook her head a bit," i doubt you have a chivalrous bone in your body." truly she had zero idea why he was even bothering. part of her wondered how he even knew where she was. she shifted her shoes in her grasp before digging her phone out of her purse. her fingers flitting across the screen in order to open the app," what is it going to take to make you go home or just away from me?" she was going to put in her address only to see that there were no drivers in the area. her brows furrowed as she put her phone back in her bag," seriously, i don't get why you are doing this."

unabashedly watching her, ezra wondered what the options were of her stepping on a rock or a piece of broken glass from a bottle as she took off her shoes. "i'm the rude one, really? you know, i think at one point a guy offering a ride would be called chivalrous." that all depending on context and he knew it. a guy offering a drunk girl a ride was usually questionable, but ezra was fully planning on making evita sound like the unreasonable one. "if you're going to call an uber, why don't you do that instead of walking around barefoot? although depending on the driver you get, maybe walking barefoot would be safer." he didn't acknowledge the comment about the barfly, but he had to admit it was one of the classier ways he'd been told to fuck off and she wasn't wrong about his taste.

"do you have any idea that i'm a fully grown woman who doesn't want or need your help?" asked evita, struggling to not hit him. she truly cursed the day her mother had met ezra because it resulted in him being a protector. at least that was the role that he was trying to push himself into being one of her mother's friends. she was so tired of playing the role of dutiful daughter when it hadn't been her choice to move to the states in the first place. she rolled her eyes as she glanced down at herself," maybe it's what i want but it's really none of your business, is it?" truly she was so perplexed and it was because she had never had a male figure in her life to look out for her," besides, i got here on my own and i can get myself home."

"do you have any idea what happens in this part of town? you'd have people worrying sick about you if they knew you were here, now come on and get into the car." play up the idea that there was a threat she didn't know about? check. plant little seeds of guilt about how her actions impacted other people? check. "you're lucky you didn't run across anyone coming out of the bar, one of the guys coming out of there would see the way you're dressed and think it's an invitation. that's not what you want, is it?" for all ezra knew, it could have been because he was sure that she had the makings of a whore, he just wanted her to be his whore, his and no one else's.
