One day, Julia dropped her phone into a drain, and as luck would have it, Howard was passing by with his gang. He fished out her phone, and that’s how they exchanged numbers.
Julia was raised with traditional values, believing in no early dating, so she’d never encountered someone like Howard before.
She was fascinated by his wild side, racing, smoking, and getting into fights. He seemed so different from other guys, and she fell hard for the rebellious boy in front of her.
Howard wasn’t exactly a good guy, but having a beautiful, prestigious university graduate like Julia as his girlfriend made him feel important.
He loved the status, so he played along, and before long, they were a couple.
I’d met Howard before. It was shortly after he and Julia started dating, and he insisted on meeting her roommates, so he arranged a dinner for all of us.
After a few drinks, Howard’s true colors came out. While Julia was in the restroom, his hand started creeping up my thigh.
I had taken Taekwondo, so I twisted his hand until I heard it crack. Since it wasn’t something he’d want to brag about, he didn’t tell Julia the truth, just made up some story about accidentally hurting himself.
