The same in every different way
A Story by Phae
You know what they say about opposites, does it apply here?
| She'd be the perfect poster girl for poise and grace- how boring. Decorum was way too over rated anyways. He liked his women with an edge of crazy, more fun for both of them. Pretty, yeah, he'd give her that. He'd also say she was ice all the way down.
Little miss perfect with no hair out of place. All business too, he wondered how she was able to pull off wearing that shapeless and probably overpriced jacket and still look so good. He wanted the meeting over soon..
His eyes were so cold, his face remote. He could be a frigging robot. She smiled inwardly. Robots had perfect bone structure didn't they? He was gorgeous, she had to admit it. She'd never seen hair so dark or eyes so blue. It was too bad he was such an ogre.
All those good looks were wasted on him. He'd been ogling her legs when she'd first entered the restuarant and hadn't even bothered to hide it. Such boorish behaviour, he thought he was all that, oh please...
The one thing they could agree on, was they couldn't stand each other's company longer than they had to. They both ordered their drinks, he had a scotch, she favoured an iced tea.The drinks sat awkwardly between them as if serving as referees.
Her cellphone rang making them both jerk with suprise, then his did also. After a few minutes, her caller hung up. She looked down at the device accusingly, wanting to smash it against the wall. She delibrately placed it beside her drink, not looking up.
He'd already replaced his smartphone inside his pocket. He downed the glass of scotch in one swallow, she stared calmly into her teacup. Only the slight involuntary shiver, gave away her feelings of inner turmoil.
They looked everywhere but at each other. She wondered how he could be so calm. He wondered why she wasn't throwing a hissy fit. They could look over it or under it, at the end it'd still be there.
Finally he caught her eye and said emotionlessly, "If we're going to be partners for the next year, there are some things you need to know."
Like we're bethrothed, he added silently with all the disgust he could muster. S**t. |
