The Fighter

Korey and I recently visited our friend Dario, who's summering in a touristy town. We spent the day at the beach, tanning and frolicking. We got back to Dario's apartment and Korey and I decided this, as our second night out, would be our big one. So Korey put on a new shirt-worn-as-a-dress (sress)and I wore some silly white shorts.

On our way there, Korey was stopped by a stranger who jumped out of his car to take a picture in front of an iconic statue. We attributed this move to Korey's hot new sress. The three of us meandered around the town for a bit until we determined it was time to booze. When we got the bar, the crowd was mixed and included everyone from the super preppy khaki-wearers to rather trashy bachelorette parties. We were somewhat entertained by this and happily sipped our Red Bull vodkas and chatted with Dario.

Late-ish into the night, a skinhead looking character approached Korey. In his attempts to hit on her, he mumbled some words in what can only be described as gibberish. She just smiled and nodded as usual, trying to be nice. The one question she actually understood was "Is he your boyfriend" as he motioned toward Dario. Korey was obviously uninterested in this creeper, so she responded yes.

And then, Dario was suddenly flying across the room. The Skinhead Creeper had made a poor attempt to punch him in the face, grazing his jaw and pulling on his shirt. We ran to Dario through the crowd that had magically parted. He luckily came out unscathed, aside from missing two or three buttons on his dress shirt. Skinhead Creeper was carried out by a few measly looking bouncers while the others held Dario back. Soon all was right in the world again. Mostly. Dario was quite worried that the failed punch to the face would leave him bruised and possibly even with a black eye. But we kept sipping our drinks until the lights came on.

Korey, what have you (and your sress) done!? She rejected a guy and caused an explosion of events. While he was not attractive or even comprehensive, it's wild that a guy would just want Korey so much he finds it necessary to punch her (supposed) boyfriend! I mean, seriously? They barely conversed because she couldn't understand a word he said! Clearly the Skinhead Creeper was just looking to get into a fight. I just wonder if (when we get them) our actual boyfriends would be willing to throw (or take) a punch for us? I'm not even sure I'd want them to. But I'd be curious to find out.
