Cigar Smoke

Alice let the door to the office fall quietly behind her. The room was dark and smelt of smoke. Alice kept her back turned, and the money clutched to her chest. Her breathing increased as she heard him take a puff of his cigar. The room was large. It's wooden desk in the center. Alice knew she was late and she knew he knew she was late. And that was the last thing she wanted.

She heard a long inhale and exhale.
"So, you finally showed up? I was scared I'd have to send someone looking for my money or collect it myself,"

Alice turned around.

"And you know what that would have ment for you toots? I know you do. Don't want to remind you of Gary? Nice fellow, too bad he was late." His voice was a little smooth, would even call it sexy, but it held a subtile threat.

Another inhale.
Another exhale.

Alice was standing forward facing his desk. She could see him put his feet on the desk, smoke rising from the cigar in his tanned hand.

"I presume you want the money?"
It took Alice alot of will power to force that whispered question. She honestly hatted the silence and she hated standing in the same room as him. She just wanted to get this over and done with.

"Oh~ girl does have a voice." He leaned forward removing his feet and resting his head lazily on the hand holding his cigar.

The only light was from the layered curtains, creating lines of horizontal light and the gental glow of the cigar. She watched the smoke dance near his hand. The way it moved and danced was angelic, it looked almost like it belonged between his fingers.

"Come here and give me the money darl."

Alice's eyes moved from the smoke to be meet with his golden eyes.
