Joey slammed the door with his usual gusto as he came into his still new LA apartment. Life here was pretty different from back in the Big Apple. He still missed his old friends and the Central Perk. What he missed most of all was the attitude of the women. It was as if women here were from a different planet.
He grinned when he saw the table strewn with books and Michael's computer. He hadn't seen these many books since - since never, he mused. His nephew sure was a smart kid. And he wasn't a smartass. He did need some help with women, though, Joey thought, as he walked over to the window and peered out to see if he could spot his neighbor, Alex. While she wasn't quite his type, she was the closest to a sex object he'd seen since he'd moved here.
Alex was sunning on her recliner. She was wearing a bikini that left little to the imagination. She had told Joey she was married, and that her husband was out of town a lot. That, to Joey, was a perfect setup for at least a little hanky-panky. He didn't quite know how she'd take it, but what the heck - nothing ventured, nothing got, or something like that. He must ask his genius nephew how the quote went.
He tapped on the window and waved at Alex when she looked across at him. She smiled and waved back, then returned to her reading. That took Joey back a bit. He expected a bit more reaction. After all, he was the resident cool cat - the J-man, wasn't he?
He fixed himself a smoothie as he thought about how he might be able to turn on the charm. He wondered if the old 'little-boy-lost' in the big city routine would work. Or should he tell her about his vast acting experience.
Maybe he should check with his sister, Gina. She might laugh at him though, or decide to take matters into her own hands. She was a bossy bitch, when she wanted to be, he knew.
Gina hadn't changed all that much in the years since they'd last been together. Her sex drive was still enough to be noticed, even in ol' Vice City. He thought she looked pretty hot, too, although she was his own sister. They had done a bit of messing around together when they were 18, but nothing serious. Just some under-utilized hormones acting up, he thought.
Speaking of those hormones, if he didn't get some action soon, Joey knew he might go nuts, or even back to NY for a quickie on the old turf. He decided to see if Alex might be interested in the J-man. She'd be nuts to pass on that.
He quickly changed into his exercise shorts, slung a towel over his shoulder, and stepped out of his pad. He stepped back in, though, and grabbed some oil. That might help.
Nonchalantly, he strolled in Alex's direction, humming the tune from the X-Files as he did so. He did like that show. Now that was a babe he'd like
to...he broke off his thoughts as he bumped into Alex's recliner.
"I'm sorry - my mind was elsewhere. I'm just going for a swim."
