The Date Gone Wrong

Unsure, he stayed a few more seconds.
He felt strongly he should go. 
The date had not gone well.
Should he apologize? He knew he was not a talker.

Madame Olenska smiled at him.
“You should stay with me a little longer,” she said.
His face flushed.
He felt the heat.
There was something wrong. 
“My mother is waiting up,” he lied.

Was she was going to cut him up and eat him?
She grabbed his arm with the strength of two weightlifters.
“I said you should stay,” she said.
He was terrified.

He should pull her hand towards him and give her a full body slam. Judo is a good thing in a such situation) P.S.: Hi, Caren, long time no see.

WoW! Caren, This is a good write for Halloween. I was terrified for him. What is she gonna do to him? I get the feeling she's a witch but I could be way off. I still haven't wrote one Halloween perhaps you just inspired me. Have a great day:-) Alexis

I was thinking of an amorous aggressive easily-excited sex-addicted woman but it is kind of Halloween-y. Ha!
