She watched as
Robin tossed her hair and pouted. “If I
can’t get his attention he isn’t interested in women.”
Several people
rolled their eyes. “Oh, I don’t think that’s
the problem at all.” Susan smiled her most serene smile at her irritating colleague. “You just don’t know how to attract a man
like Kurt.”
Robin’s eyebrows
shot straight up. “And you do? If that’s true why haven’t you already gone out
with him? Don’t tell me you wouldn’t be
interested in him. He’s hot.”
“Until recently I
was involved with someone else. I wasn’t
interested in seeing Kurt or any other man socially.”
“Well, I think
you’re full of it,” Robin sniffed. “If I
couldn’t get him to notice me, I know you
can’t.”
Around the faculty
lounge a murmur of delightfully horrified voices broke out.
Susan finished her
soft drink and tossed the can into a nearby recycling bin. “I could make Kurt ask me out if I wanted
to.”
“Yeah? Prove it.
Get him to ask you out. I’ll bet
you fifty dollars you can’t do it,” Robin taunted. “All he’s interested in is football.”
Melissa Taylor,
Susan’s best friend cleared her throat. “How
long does she have to do it?”
“Two weeks ought
to be enough for an old pro like Susan.” Robin snickered as her gaze swept
around the lounge. “Would any of the
rest of you like to get a piece of the action?”
Oh, I love this exchange...it shows us the kind of competition between single women.
ReplyDeleteI am eager to see who "wins."
Thanks for visiting my blog.
I wonder how long it'll take for Susan to gain his attention, and how she'll do it.
ReplyDeleteAh, and the competition is on! Great scene, Elaine.
