Lucy
I walk into the lobby of the palm woods after a day in the recording studio. I am hoping to get in some tanning time by the pool before it gets dark. I get in the elevator and press my floor.
"Hey Lucy."
I jump and see James next to me in the elevator.
"No! I am not going to go out with you!" I exclaim.
"How did you know I was going to ask that?" he asks and his face gets all serious.
"Whenever I see you that is all you ask."
"Why won't you go out with me?" he asks again.
I sigh. "Because-."
He puts his finger to my lips.
"One date. That is all that I am asking." He says.
I groan. "Fine."
"Great. Pick you up at 7." He says and walk out of the elevator. I didn't even realize that we were at our floor.
I leave the elevator and walk to a door I didn't expect to walk to but before I can even think about what I am doing I knock on the door.
"Lucy! What are you uh doing here?" Jo asks me. I can tell she is less than thrilled to see me.
"Look I know that everything is weird between us but I kind of need someone to help me get ready for a uh date with James." I tell her.
"Oh well um come on in." she says and steps aside to let me in.
"So you are finally going on a date with James?" she asks.
"Yeah. I figured that if I go on one date with him he will stop asking me every time I see him." I say.
"Yeah that must be annoying." She agrees and she leads me to her room.
"Yeah it is."
"So do you want me to do your hair or make up?" she asks.
"Uh just make-up. I think I am gonna just try and go casual." I answer.
She nods and starts to do my make-up.
"I really don't want things to be weird between us. I think it would be nice if we hung out another time." Jo says.
"I agree." We look at each other and laugh.
