[Isabel glances at him then back up to the sky.] It's a super harvest moon. The full moon closest to the autumn equinox but it's not usually this close to the Earth. I heard there were a lot of super moons this summer. I wish I could have seen them.
[Well, that wasn't the reaction she was expecting and she adds a couple inches of space between them. This is New York and he is a complete stranger that just opened with the aroused state of his genitalia.] Behave or you're going to get kneed in your naughty place.
I don't ever see the man in the moon people say is there, though. I look at it and there are darker bits, but I don't think it looks like a face. More like a bunny.
[This wasnt the first time a guy had blown off her warning. In fact, the
stronger the guy the harder they rolled their eyes and this guy looked like
he lived in a gym.] Listen tough guy, you probably arent used to the word
no but if you even touch me, I wont just put you down. I'll put you in the
ground. This is not a fight you can win.
First of all, sweetheart, I'm fuckin' gay so I have absolutely no desire to touch you. Second, don't count your chickens before they are hatched. I'll put you in a worse place then in the ground. Back the fuck off.
[She would never admit that she was nervous but when he admitted to being
gay there was a quick flood of relief before she went right back to
angry.] Why on Earth would you just blurt out to some girl you don't even
know about your arroused naughty place. God! I thought you were some sexual
predator or worst a bro with a death wish and I REALLY didnt want to have
to dispose of a corpse in these shoes. Who taught you how to talk to women?
They should be beaten.
I did say that the moon not your uptight ass, was the cause of my aroused state. It's called a joke. Lay off with the death threats I'm not in the mood for bad jokes.
I'm not uptight! [She would get defensive about that part.] I've never been to New York before, I haven't been mugged or assaulted yet, and when you immediately started in on your [She motions to his junk] stuff all I could think was of course I would try to chat with Stranger Danger.
[With a sigh, she rakes her fingers through her thick hair.] You have a really weird sense of humor.
I wasnt trying to be funny. I was trying to be enough of a pain in the ass
that you might just think I was more trouble than I am worth and you
wouldnt attack me. How was I supposed to know that its normal for people in
New York to start conversations by drawing attention to their man parts? Is
sniffing involved as well? I wouldnt want to be caught in a future faux pas.
Look, I get it, women are taught that all men are out to rape them. And, yeah, I know that's a real fear. It's a real concern. But, come on, I was fucking joking about the moon. Sniffing might be involved, I've been told I'm something of an animal.
Too bony. Seals are better. Been a long time since I was small enough to bother with fish. Baby whales ain't bad.
So surf. I'm Rokea, not a common shark. I can tell the difference between a surfer and a seal. You smell different, you feel different. It ain't hard to tell.
You're right. It was completly rude but I'm nothing if not forgiving.
[Ha.]...Maybe I was a little quick with the threats. [That might be the
closest thing to an apology he's getting.]

You need a computer for that, right?
