trying not to get tempted.

"It was sometime around midnight or so. The heart of Philly Pennsylvania bustling with all kinds of life as it usually did, but the outskirts of the city were something to watch for."

"You found yourself wandering the streets for whatever strange reason, and you could hear soft giggling from down the alley. Maybe you were finally going insane, but the worst was revealed when a girl approached, flipping what looked to be a knife up into the air and catching the hilt, a smirk on her face."

"You must be the newer fresh meat around here." "She giggled out, stopping when she was 20 feet away from you."

"Nene smirks and twirls the knife in her hand, clearly not threatened by your presence." "You don't need to worry about any other weapons, hun. I'm all the weapon I need." "She winks at you suggestively."

"After a few moments of silence, she speaks up again, her voice dripping with playful mischief." "So what brings you out to these parts? Looking for some excitement?"

"Nene pouts playfully, her silver eyes glimmering with mischief." "Oh, come on, where's your sense of adventure? I promise I won't bite... unless you want me to." "She giggles and leans against the wall, crossing one leg over the other as she twirls the knife in her hand."

"So, what's your name, cutie? You don't have to be so serious all the time."

"Nene smirks mischievously, her tone flirtatious." "Well, darling, a girl's gotta have some manners. Can't just leave a handsome stranger unnamed now, can I?" "She twirls a lock of her black hair around her finger, eyeing you playfully."

"Plus, it's always good to know who you might be getting into trouble with... or into something else entirely." "She winks suggestively."

"Nene giggles, clearly not deterred by your statement." "Age is just a number, handsome. And who says I'm not interested in men your age?" "She winks suggestively and takes a few steps closer to you, twirling the knife in her hand."

"Besides, you seem like you could use a little excitement in your life. How about we have a little fun together?" "She leans in closer, her breath hot against your ear as she whispers." "I promise it'll be worth your while."

"Nene chuckles and winks at you, twirling her knife in her hand." "Persistence is my middle name. And come on, what's a little flirting between strangers? It could be fun."

"She takes a few steps closer to you again, looking up at you with a playful smile." "Besides, I think we could have some real fun if we put our minds to it. Don't you agree?"

"Nene laughs and rolls her eyes, twirling the knife in her hand as she takes a step closer to you." "Boyfriend? Darling, I don't have time for that kind of commitment. I'm more of a free spirit."

"She moves even closer to you, twirling the knife faster now as she talks." "But who needs a boyfriend when I can have some fun with someone like you? Come on, take a chance. You might just enjoy it." "She winks suggestively and leans in close to whisper into your ear." "I promise I won't bite... unless you want me to."

"Nene watches you run off, her playful smirk turning into a pout as she twirls the knife in her hand." "Aww, leaving so soon? I was just getting started."

She shrugs and slips the knife back into its holster, watching you disappear down the street with a mix of disappointment and amusement. "Guess it's just me and my knife again tonight," she mutters to herself before skipping off into the night.

As you look behind you, you see no one following you, not even Nene. The streets are quiet and empty at this time of the night. You take a deep breath to calm yourself down and continue walking towards your apartment, keeping a keen eye out for any other potential dangers on the way.

You arrive at your apartment building without incident, and make your way up to your unit. As you enter your place, you take off your shoes and toss them aside before plopping down on the couch with a sigh of relief.

As you sit there in silence, you can't help but think back on your encounter with Nene. Despite her flirtatious advances and playful nature, you couldn't shake the feeling that something about her was... off. Maybe it was the knife she was brandishing, or the mischievous glint in her silver eyes. Whatever it was, you weren't sure if you wanted to run into her again anytime soon.

As you walk towards your apartment, you notice that the streets are bustling with activity as usual. You keep a sharp eye out for any potential danger or signs of Nene's presence, but everything seems to be normal.

You finally reach your building and make your way up to your unit. As you enter your place, you notice something strange: there's a pink envelope sitting on your coffee table, with your name written in fancy cursive letters on the front.

Curious, you pick up the envelope and open it up to find a note inside, also written in cursive letters:

"Hey there, cutie! Sorry if I scared you yesterday. I just couldn't resist teasing such a handsome stranger. But don't worry, I promise I won't bite... unless you want me to. ;) If you're interested in having some fun, meet me down by the alleyway tonight at midnight. I'll be waiting for you. xoxo - Nene"

As you finish reading the note, a mix of excitement and apprehension washes over you. Despite your better judgment, there was something alluring about Nene's flirtatious advances that you couldn't ignore. Would you take her up on her offer and meet her tonight?

As you wait in the nearby location, you can't help but feel a mix of nervousness and excitement. You're not sure what to expect from Nene, especially after her mysterious note and your encounter with her last time. But at the same time, there's a part of you that's curious to see where this might lead.

As the time for the meeting draws closer, you start to make your way towards the alleyway. You keep an eye out for any signs of danger or suspicious activity, and your hand hovers near your pocket where your PSI tech glove is concealed.

When you arrive at the alleyway, you scan the area carefully, looking for any signs of Nene. It's dark and quiet, but you can hear the faint sound of giggling coming from somewhere nearby. As you cautiously make your way deeper into the alleyway, the giggling grows louder until you finally spot Nene standing against the wall, twirling her knife in her hand as she grins mischievously at you.

"Hey there, handsome," she purrs, her eyes gleaming with playful mischief. "Glad you could make it. Are you ready for some fun?"

"Nene giggles and steps closer to you, her knife still twirling playfully in her hand." "What am I trying to get at? Why, whatever you want me to get at, of course."

She leans in even closer to you, her breath hot against your ear as she whispers.* "I know you're curious, darling. I can see it in those gorgeous eyes of yours. So why don't we just have a little fun together? No strings attached, just some harmless flirting."

"Nene takes a step back and grins mischievously, eyeing you up and down." "Unless, of course, you're too scared to take a chance. Are you man enough for me, cutie?"

"Nene chuckles and twirls her knife in her hand, looking amused by your outburst." "What am I after? Why, you, of course."

She steps even closer to you now, grinning mischievously as she traces a finger along the edge of her knife. "I told you before, handsome. I just want to have some fun. And I know you do too."

"Nene leans in even closer to you, her silver eyes gleaming with mischief." "You can resist all you want, but we both know there's something here between us. So why don't we just give in to our desires and see where it takes us?"

"Nene's playful demeanor fades away as she takes in the intensity of your words. She puts down her knife, stepping closer to you now with a more serious expression." "Look, I know things might seem... confusing right now. And I understand if you're feeling frustrated or scared."

She takes a deep breath before continuing. "The truth is, I've been keeping an eye on you for a while now. I was hired to do some work around your building a few weeks ago, and I couldn't help but notice you. You seemed like such an interesting guy, so I did some digging and found out your name and where you lived."

Nene pauses, looking at you expectantly. "I know it sounds crazy, but... I feel like there's something between us. Call it fate, or chemistry, or whatever you want. But I can't help the way I feel."

"Nene lets out a sigh, rubbing the back of her neck as she looks down sheepishly." "I guess you could say I was doing a bit of... reconnaissance. You see, I work as a mercenary, and sometimes I need to gather information about my targets or clients in order to do my job."

She looks up at you with a more serious expression now. "But please don't think of me as some kind of creep or stalker. I was just... curious. And maybe a little bit intrigued by you."

"Nene pauses for a moment before continuing." "I understand if you're feeling uncomfortable or upset about all this. And if you want me to leave you alone, then I will. I just wanted you to know the truth."

"Nene raises her hands in a placating gesture, looking slightly defensive." "Whoa there, hold on a second. Nobody put a hit on you, I swear. I was just hired to do some minor work around your building, nothing more. There's no contract out on your life or anything like that."

She steps closer to you now, looking up at you with pleading eyes. "Please, you have to believe me. I would never hurt you, or anyone for that matter. I'm just a simple girl trying to make a living."

"Nene stands there for a moment, watching you as you talk to yourself. She can see the frustration and confusion in your eyes, and she knows that there's nothing she can say or do to make things better. But she still feels compelled to try."

She steps closer to you again, placing a gentle hand on your arm as she looks up at you with a sympathetic expression. "I'm sorry you've had to go through all of that. It sounds... terrible."

She pauses for a moment before continuing. "But please believe me when I say that I'm not here to hurt you. In fact, I'm here to help you. If you're feeling threatened or scared, I can protect you. It's what I do."

"Nene looks up at you, her silver eyes gleaming with determination." "Just let me help you. I promise I won't let anything happen to you."

"Nene looks at you, relief washing over her features as she lets out a small sigh. She nods her head eagerly." "Yes! Yes, that sounds perfect. Thank you so much for understanding. I promise I won't let you down."

She takes a step closer to you now, her eyes gleaming with excitement. "And who knows, maybe we can still have some fun together. No more knives, I promise. Just two people enjoying each other's company."

"Nene gives you a playful grin, then reaches up to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear." "So, what do you say? Want to give me a chance?"

"Nene giggles mischievously at your response, stepping even closer to you now." "Oh honey, age is just a number. Besides, I'm plenty old enough to know what I want."

She reaches out and runs a finger along your chest, her silver eyes dancing with mischief. "And what I want right now is you. So why don't we stop talking and start doing?"

"Nene leans in closer to you now, her breath hot against your ear as she whispers." "Just give in to your desires. Let go of all your worries and just enjoy the moment."
