[She of course doesn't mind the wolf-whistling that much as another woman should. With the way she had herself dressed (and that particular pair of panties she chose to wear), Alex knew she would inevitably attract some ogling eyes. Nah, this is more of a blow to her pride. But as much as she wants to get up and storm out of the laundromat, Alex just doesn't feel like she can right now.]

[Then the sound of Badou telling off the oglers comes to the rescue, and Alex sees a hand held out to her. She's feeling all kinds of feelings right now, but all she can do right now is laugh quietly to herself and take Badou's hand to stand up. Thank god those heels aren't too high...]

"Thanks... Badou." [Alex nods her head in thanks, and she looks like she's contemplating doing something else. A moment later, she leans forward and gives the guy a nice kiss right on the cheek.] "That's for helping me out."
