“Daylight robbery, but fine.” He hands her a hundred dollar bill and we leave the office and head to the elevator.
“Up or down?” she asks as she goes to press the button.
“Up.”
“Ooooh,” she grins knowing.
“Stop that. Why are you looking at me like that?”
“Because you’re going to see Loverboy.”
“Marina. He is not my lover.”
“Yet,” she winks and I groan loudly.
“I’m ignoring you.” I look away from her and I’m grateful when the elevator beeps on Jack’s floor. “I will see you in a few minutes.”
“Sure and I’m Meryl Streep.” I can hear her laughing as the elevator goes back down. I make my way to Jack’s office, knock and enter. He’s standing by the window, looking even more gorgeous than normal.
“Good morning, Katherine.” He heads over to me immediately and my legs tremble at the lust in his eyes. Shit, I shouldn’t have come.
“Good morning.” I say stiffly and move away from him.
“Please, have a seat.” He gestures to one of the chairs and we both sit down, just staring at each other. He eyes me like he wants to eat me and I eye him like I have no clue what he’s thinking. We sit in silence for about five minutes, just observing each other.
“So,” he says, “the play was interesting.”
“It sucked,” I reply as I shake my head. “But interesting is another adjective you can use, I suppose.”
“I think we should talk.” He leans forward on his desk and rolls his sleeves up.
“That’s what we’re doing.”
“No, I want to talk about us.”
“There is no us.” I swallow.
“Remember when you pretended to be my girlfriend?”
“I remember.”
“You seemed really into it.”
“Maybe I wanted to keep my job.”
“I don’t think squeezing my cock was required for that.”
“Maybe not.”
“And the other night when we had phone sex.”
“What about it? I was tired and horny.” I yawn like I’m bored. “It was nothing.”
“Liar.”
“I’m not lying. What’s this about, Jack?”
“I was wondering if you think about me. I was hoping you’d come over after the play that night.”
