Jesus, what I am I doing here? Jay spun
around on her stool, and came face-to-face with a nervous dark-haired woman.
“Hi, I’m Claire.” Clearing her throat,
Claire extended her hand and waited. Jay watched Claire’s hand as it hovered
awkwardly between them before she dropped it limply to her side. Jay had no
intention of shaking.
“My employer has asked me to come
downstairs and invite you to join her for a drink.” Claire looked
uncomfortable.
“What are you, her pimp? Who’s your
employer?”
“I’m afraid I can’t tell you that. I’ll
need you to sign a nondisclosure agreement first. My employer is a well-known
celebrity.”
Claire’s voice was tinged with pride,
despite the strange situation.
“You’re kidding?” Jay smiled humourlessly.
“A nondisclosure agreement?”
“Yes—” Claire nodded. “—to prevent any
negative press coming to light.”
“Listen, love.” She leaned forward on
the stool, bringing her face close to the other woman and doing her best to be
condescending. “I’m not interested, okay?”
Claire flinched. She obviously wasn’t
used to being told no.
“Maybe you should think about it? My
employer—”
“I’m not for sale. It doesn’t matter
who’s paying. Understand?”
Something in her eyes must have
convinced Claire. Nodding, she backed away and hurried off.
Jesus, a nondisclosure agreement? Time
really does march on. She could remember when you bought someone a drink, made
small talk for an hour, then went back to her place. Of course, she’d never had
a celebrity want to shag her before. Jay wondered briefly who it might be. As
if you would even know. It’s not like you’ve kept up to date with show business
since you’ve been away. Even before, when other girls were poring over gossip
magazines, she read books about gardening.
Before. That was how she thought of it
now. There was before, when things had all looked bright and filled with
promise, and now.
Now was something she didn’t really want
to dwell on too much.
She nursed the beer for a few minutes
longer, unsure why she didn’t just leave.
“Hey.” A soft American voice roused her
from her thoughts. “Did you really call my assistant a pimp?”
The voice alone got her blood up. Husky
and low, it had to be the sexiest voice she’d ever heard.
She turned slowly on her stool, taking
in the woman before her. Long, wavy, golden-brown hair, and large grey eyes.
Surprisingly, Jay knew who she was. Shannon Somebody—she couldn’t remember her
last name. Jay raked her gaze over the woman’s body and lingered purposely on
the full, creamy swell of breasts. Jesus, she is hot.
*****
Shannon usually got pissed off when
someone blatantly stared at her tits. She wasn’t sure why it didn’t bother her
this time. Even from another woman, it should have. Maybe because the woman
ogling her was the same woman who’d just turned her down.
“So, are you going to answer me, or just
carrying on fucking me with your eyes?” Shannon asked as she slid onto the
barstool beside the woman, pushing her tits out a little more. That’s right.
Have a good look at what you just turned down.
When Claire had come back, flustered and
embarrassed, and relayed her conversation with the hot barfly, Shannon hadn’t
hesitated in marching downstairs. It wasn’t often she got turned down—in fact,
she couldn’t remember it ever happening before.
Who the hell does she think she is?
Calling my assistant a pimp? Shannon caught herself at the bottom of the
stairs. The woman was still on her stool looking moodily around the room with a
slight air of bored arrogance which, to her surprise, Shannon found appealing.
She felt the familiar tingle between her legs and decided maybe this prey would
be worth chasing.
“Drink?” the woman asked, ignoring
Shannon’s eye-fucking comment with a half-smile on her full lips.
“Honey, my drink costs eighty pounds a
glass,” Shannon replied. She leaned forward and offered another view of her
chest. To the woman’s credit, this time her eyes didn’t leave Shannon’s face.
“Fuck that then. You can buy me drink.”
Shannon frowned. She didn’t know what to
say because this never happened either. The woman broke into a smile, and it
was like the clouds had parted—she looked even sexier when she smiled.
Shannon grinned in return.

“Where I write”
This is the room I write in. You'll notice it faces a blank
wall and that's because I can procrastinate like a pro and a view to look at
would probably mean I got nothing done at all. You'll notice at the bottom of
the bookcase are a pile of picture frames. My job is to put some nice photos in
them to display. They've been sitting there for nearly two years. You can't
rush these things, can you?
The desk and chair were given to us by my girlfriend's aunt
when she moved house. The desk is rickety and the drawers are broken and my
girlfriend really wants to get rid of it. She keeps sending me links to
websites selling shiny new ones but I'm not having any of it. I like what I
like.
Right in the corner under the printer is my cat Didi's bed.
I thought it would be more comfortable for her than sleeping on the laptop when
I'm trying write. She's not having any of it. She likes what she likes.
