This continues from here...
Interview.. Done.
Short-changed myself though..
In a room of thirty job seekers..
The only person not wearing a suit was..? Yours truly
Needless to say.. A few weeks later..
A 'you don't suit our requirements' letter came through the post..
But.. I digress..
Bought my tube ticket..
"MIND THE GAP!!" The auto voice boomed as I boarded the train..
My brain ticking over the earlier encounter with Paige..
"was she flirting with me?
Nah! She couldn't have been.
I shouldn't pre-judge someone I'd only just met..
but what if she..?
she's probably just a nice person
But the hand..??
Innocent gesture..
Some people are touchy, feely when conversing..
Yeah.. Must be.."
Thus the battle raged..
between good and evil..
As I approached her door..
I scolded myself..
"GET A GRIP!"
Then..
I reached for her doorbell..
No response..
Lights were on..
her car was parked..
I buzzed again..
Her voice..
"Roc?? Come in, it's open"
Stepped gingerly across her doorstep..
I heard her voice again..
from behind a closed door..
"I'm in the bathroom, make yourself comfortable..
..I'll be with u in a bit."
TV was on..
Tyra goofing around as usual..
I glanced round..
Flat screen.. Leather seats.. Bang & Olufsen speakers.. The works..
Heard her footsteps..
"Nice place.."
"Thanks" she said, as she popped her head round the door..
"Come into the room, so we can tal.."
"I'm cool.. I'll just chill here.."
"C'mon.. I need to show u some jobsites on the computer as well.." she said as she walked away..
Her room looked like a toy store..
Pink sheets.. Teddy bears everywhere..
She had a towel wrapped round her..
round her back and under her arms and back again..
Another one round her hair..
I thought to myself, "if she dares suggest I rub her back or something.. i'll just storm out!"
"Please sit down" she said, tapping the bed.
"Thanks for this morning," I said, "I was.."
"What do u think of this town then?" interrupting me mid-sentence..
"Cold innit? it gets real cold and lonely sometimes.. end up wasting money on heating, when u could be cuddled up with someone under a duvet"
"Uhm.. I can imagine" I said wryly, as I watched her hit the power button on the desktop..
Taking it as my cue.. I tried another tack..
"So the C.V that I en.."
"You know I've never really wanted much from a man" she said.. Cutting me short again.
"I've only wanted a guy to be there for me on those cold nights..
Someone I can cook for once in a while..
Someone That I can cuddle while watching tv..
You know? Basic stuff"
"I'm sure a lady like u won't have a problem getting a man."
"So u find me attractive then..?"
"Jeez!" I thought to myself..
But before I could respond..
"Oh! Do me a favor please and pass me the mirr.. Nah! Don't worry i'll get it myself.."
As she stood up.. smiling..
Her towel dropped to the floor..
'SHITTTTTT!'
