WISHFUL-THINKER10'S POV
I was pretty sure Cheryl found herself quite near. She was deeply engrossed in our obvious flirting, melting herself down slowly into the magma of her jealousy. Professional and personal jealousy. And I should move myself at the rhythm of those bad vibes. I got to work with all that.
- Are you looking for someone? -Tracy asked me suddenly.
- Hmmm?
- You are here but at the same time you're somewhere else, Arlene. Tell me what's on your redhead brain. Tell me what you're searching for.
- No-one.
- You got that syndrome "low profile girl who become a star", you're seeing paparazzis in every corner. We're safe and sound here.
- Now the boss of the paparazzi is speaking, I guess.
- There's noone more discreet than us as far as our private life is concerned. Don't fear. Our secret will never be revealed.
- Are you kidding me? All the gutter press knows that Tracy Cabañero can get the scoop of the year. And you're the one who have spread the news.
- Oh, I just let two workmates know about it. I was so thrilled. And I also wanted that all my competitors could be green with envy, of course.
- Discreet is not the adjective I would use to describe any of you.
- I rather meant our other secret. You know, something called sexual tension. Noone will know that apart from undress your soul in an interview, I want to undress you over my bed.
- One dirty Martini is not enough to lose my mind tonight. Besides, all this time without hearing from you, not getting in touch told me I couldn't be of interest to you as I originally thought so...
The twist was necessary now. She was bolder and bolder. Some breath was mandatory. Arlene Atkins needed to play the offended lady role.
- Of course not... it's just I was pretty busy. I'm most interested in you.
- I know, you only want to sleep with me -I escaped a sigh, with overacted sorrow.
- Since you told me you are impenetrable, I feel myself like Alexander the Great. I'm trying to conquer you, is that a sin?
- It's not a sin, it's a pipe dream. And what's more, the only thing can get us together is a deal. But it seems more and more complicated.
- Redhead... that's why whenever we're meeting up, you show yourself all dressed up that way.
- Which way?
- Making me wonder how you look starkers.
- It's not up to me what people's dirty minds as you can lucubrate.
