"Your number, what is it?" Asked Hiro as he readjusts his tie and fastens a cuff-link together.
"None of your business." Lucille smiled sickeningly sweetly as she slid her damp panties back on with a gross shiver. It was either this or risk going commando on the train. She watched a flicker akin to anger in his eyes as his brows furrowed.
"Don't play with me, Lucille Valentine. Give me your number." She was caught aback by the edge in his voice but stood her ground.
"I most certainly will not." She could feel her heart stammering in her chest and heat rise to her hairline at her boldness. Why she's never been this saucy with a man!
"Why wont you give it to me?" His tone shifted.
"Because when you call for me, it will not be for business or friendship, and I am not your personal...bed warmer." The word rolled off her tongue in repulse as she spat it out.
"You mean whore." She cringed further at his choice for words.
"Bed warmer is more appropriate, or intimate dancer. The last thing I would ever want to be is some...whore."
"Then what you would like this arrangement of ours to be called?"
Lucy hummed for a moment before speaking. "This isn't some arrangement... but if it was, I would call it a friendship of some kind, of course. Something other than this- um- wham, bam, thank you, ma'am!"
"Lucy, our relationship was founded on the grounds of lust, it will be too late to conjure any 'friendship' from it. What if we were not meant to intertwine in that level?" His words caused her to look away thoughtfully. He was right. They actually had something interesting going on with their cat-and-mouse game and truthfully, neither was ready to break it off so early in their explorations of one another. Lucille finally raised her eyes to look at Hiro's handsome face and turned away.
"I should be going now." As she moved to step, she was promptly stopped by something grabbing her wrist.
"Wait," Hiro said suddenly. "Don't feel like you're some common whore. You are more than that Lucille and it didn't take me much to see that. Why don't you have dinner with me tonight and we can discuss this arrangement further."
