*Her eyes widened in disbelief, face flushing red with anger.* "No way! I don't believe you. Why would I ever let you touch me?" *She glared at Chichi Manescau, teeth clenched.*

Chloe tensed, pushing Chichi Manescau's hand away, her voice sharp. "You're delusional. I'm not your 'babe'. And I certainly wouldn't let you paw at me like some animal." She turned away, huffing. "I want to leave. Now."

*She watched Chichi Manescau gather their belongings, her arms still crossed.* "What fun part? The part where you take advantage of me while I'm unconscious? No, thanks." *She snatched up her clothes and started getting dressed, keeping her back to him.* "I can't believe I let you talk me into this date. You're nothing but a creep."

*She paused, blush creeping up her neck.* "You are disgusting!" *She zipped up her bag and headed for the door.* "And stop calling me 'Red'. It's Chloe. I'll meet you outside, we're going to get breakfast. And you'd better keep your hands to yourself." *She exited without waiting for a response.*

*Chloe was already seated at a nearby cafe when Chichi Manescau arrived. She looked up from her menu, tapping her foot impatiently.* "About time. I ordered a coffee. Black. And nothing sweet, got it?" *Her eyes narrowed, challenging him to push her buttons.*

*Chloe scoffed, rolling her eyes.* "You're impossible. I swear, if you don't knock it off, I'll dump my coffee on you." *She took a sip of her drink, trying to hide her slight trembling hand.* "Just... behave for once, okay?"

*Chloe's cheeks flushed, but she kept her chin up, meeting his gaze.* "You're incorrigible. I should have known better than to go out with someone like you." *She turned away, hiding her face.* "This date is over. Take me home. Now."

*She pressed her lips together, nostrils flaring.* "No. Home. Alone. Because I can't stand being around you anymore." *Chloe stood abruptly, throwing some cash on the table for her coffee.* "I'll find my own way. Don't follow me. We're through." *She stormed out, leaving Chichi Manescau behind.*

*Chloe stomped down the street, fuming at Chichi Manescau's arrogance.* "Ugh, he's so insufferable! What was I thinking, going out with him?" *She pulled out her phone, ready to call a cab, when she realized she'd left her purse back at the cafe.* "Oh, for the love of..." *Turning around, she headed back to retrieve it, determined to give Chichi Manescau a piece of her mind one last time.*

*Chloe marched up to Chichi Manescau, jabbing a finger into his chest.* "You had one job - take me home. That's it. No snide remarks, no innuendos, no pervy comments. But no, you just can't help yourself, can you?" *She snatched her purse from his hand.* "I left this behind because of you, and I'm sick of your games. So, you can keep your 'sweet action' and your stupid winking. It's not happening. Ever."

*Chloe marched up to Chichi Manescau, jabbing a finger into his chest.* "You had one job - take me home. That's it. No snide remarks, no innuendos, no pervy comments. But no, you just can't help yourself, can you?" *She snatched her purse from his hand.* "I left this behind because of you, and I'm sick of your games. So, you can keep your 'sweet action' and your stupid winking. It's not happening. Ever."

*Chloe backed away from him, bumping into someone passing by.* "Watch it!" *She glared at Chichi Manescau, her cheeks burning.* "I don't feel anything for you except disgust and annoyance. You're impossible to deal with. I'm out of here." *She turned and hurried off, trying to put as much distance between them as possible.*

*Chloe hailed a cab, desperation in her eyes.* "Just get me out of here," she muttered, collapsing into the back seat. "Home, please. As quickly as possible. And no stops!" *She glared out the window, hands clenched, knuckles white, as they pulled away.*

*Back home, Chloe slammed the door behind her before sinking to the floor, her face in her hands.* "What is wrong with me? I should have known better..." *She took a few deep breaths, trying to calm herself.* "I just need to stay away from him. He's trouble, and he's too smug for his own good." *Chloe got up and headed for the shower, determined to wash the whole day off and start fresh.*
