Larry leaned against a column outside the exit gate at the London airport.  He spotted Shauna coming through the crowd and stood up a little straighter.  She saw him too, but walked right past him then doubled back.

"Aye, shawty.  You kinda cute.  You got a girlfriend?"

"Nope.  You got a man?"

"Nope."

He took her hand and they started walking toward baggage claim.

Shauna cleared her throat.  "I really don't have a man, you know.  I'm not seeing anybody."

"Yeah.  I know."

"No, you didn't know that because you couldn't know that.  But now I'm telling you."

"Yes, I did know."

"How, Larry?  How could you possibly know what I was doing five thousand miles away in Atlanta?"

"I told you...I got people watching you."

"Whatever, boy."  Shauna turned her attention to searching for her luggage.

Larry dropped her hand and left her standing by one of the carousels.  He walked off slowly doing a countdown in his head.  Un, deu, trois...

Like clockwork, she ran up behind him and put one hand on her hip.  "What people, Larry?"

He grinned and kept walking.  He loved messing with her head.

"Larry, what people?"
