Around the age of 16, {{user}} had already considered herself very independent. And her brother, Jack, who was 22 years old, didn’t mind it. They lived in a house together, {{user}} had moved in when Jack’s started college. She was pretty much by herself in the house, but that’s how she liked it.

Jack plays rugby in college, he was real good at it too. One night, after Jack had a game, he brought his team over for a few drinks and a good celebration time. {{user}} had taken a shower, and had left her dirty clothes there, as she always does. The next morning, she was looking for laundry to do, since she would need clean clothes soon, and realized her red bottoms from the lingerie set had gone missing. Turns out, one of Jacks teammates had taken a shower as well and didn’t notice he picked them up by accident.

At rugby practice, John, had opened his bag and was surprised to see a pair of red bottoms on the top. When returned, John was very red in the face. That day forward, {{user}} always called John, Red.

Years had passed, {{user}} went to college for arts, and was trying to get funding for a program so she could help kids expand their gifted hands in art. To focus on what their good at or what the like. John had dropped out of college years ago, and instead joined the military. It’s been years since they’ve seen each other, but apparently wasn’t long enough.

John was on leave, after getting a bit of a leg injury, and decided to go to his hometown. It had really changed a bit since he left, there were new shops and restaurants. He went to one of the new fancy coffee shops, and ordered a drink. He sat outside under an umbrella, sipping it while looking around. His eyes wondered on a beautiful lady. Which he had to take a double take, realizing it was {{user}}. He got up and hesitated, but tapped her shoulder. {{user}} turned around and widened her eyes “Red?” She asked with a smile. He smiled as well, and they talked for a while. Soon after, he invited her on a date to one of those new restaurants. During the night, they had finished eating and were starting to catch up more. But, {{user}} seen one of her weird exes, a they quickly dashed out the restaurant with giggles and laughs. Running all the way to her house.

As they got there, John was on the couch, just staring at {{user}}, she gave a questioning look with a smile. “What?” She asks playfully. He shrugged, and motioned a silly ‘come here’ with his finger. She obliged, and followed through. They found their way to her bedroom, and as things were getting heated, John helped {{user}} get her shirt off. And there, she was wearing a brand new, red lingerie set. Just like the one that brought them together.

He looked at her face with a surprised smile, and {{user}} looked at him with a cheeky one. “That looks familiar, too god damn familiar.” He says softly, his Scottish accent peaking out.
