She's Somebody's Baby
Chapter 2 – One Rejection at a Time
Ari shut his cell phone and threw it across his office in rage right as Vince and Eric were walking in.
"So I take it that the vacation with your ex-wife didn't go so well" Vince said taking a seat down on the couch.
Ari just glared at Vince and Eric as they sat there looking as if they didn't have a care in the world.
"Something must've happened…weren't you suppose to come back next week?" Eric asked him.
"Finally! Someone fucking remembers!" Ari stated as he walked towards Vince and Eric.
"So, I got some news from the studio and-" Ari was cut off by Vince.
"We know Ari…that's not why we're here…we're here because we think it's time that you get back into the game" Vince said to him.
Ari just stared at Vince with a blank stare.
"Get back into the game? Get back into the fucking game…are you kidding me? Vince, E, I truly do appreciate your concern for my now single cock but it's ok…I'm doing fine" Ari answered them.
"Ari, it's been almost 5 months now…it's time to start dating again" E said to him.
"Guys! I'm fine! Really…that vacation is exactly what I needed…I've never felt better" Ari said as he went over to his desk and started going through a stack of papers for no apparent reason.
"Come on Ari, we could set you up with some girls…we already know what your type is" Vince said.
"Mr. Gold, Mr. Lawson from Universal is on Line 3 for you" Christine said as she popped into Ari's office and then popped right out.
"Hold that thought" Ari said to the guys as he picked up the phone and answered the call.
"So she's your new assistant…Mr. Gold?" Vince asked after Ari hung up the phone.
"Yes, her name is Christine and trust me…both of you have a better shot getting fucked by Cameron Diaz then you do with her" Ari answered them.
Vince and Eric exchanged confused glances.
"Why didn't you flip out on her for coming in here and interrupting us?" Eric asked Ari.
"It's not like we were talking about anything of fucking importance" Ari said back to him.
"So what? If that was Lloyd you would've ripped him a new one by now" Vince said.
"You're right and he would've loved it too" Ari answered them.
"You're so in denial" Eric said.
Ari just glared at the guys, knowing that they were right. Why didn't he snap at Christine? Normally he would've said something degrading or horribly mean and probably make whoever it was, cry…well at least Lloyd did. Ari's thoughts were interrupted as he saw Vince and Eric talking and laughing amongst themselves.
"You like her" Vince said.
"I'd like to fuck her like an animal on the couch you guys are sitting on but I don't like her…she's not my type" Ari said.
Vince and Eric looked at each other as they both stood up from the couch
"I don't know Ari, I think you like her…I caught you staring at her before while we were talking" Eric said.
"That's bullshit and you fucking know it" Ari said back to him.
"Well…if you're not interested in her…then you won't mind if I ask her out" Vince said walking towards the door with Eric right behind him.
Thank God Vince and Eric's backs were facing Ari because if they weren't then they would've seen the look on Ari's face and it wasn't happy.
"Like I said before, good luck…she's not into Hollywood Heartthrobs" Ari said.
"We'll see about that" Vince said as he left Ari's office with Eric right behind him.
Ari walked over to his blinds and used his fingers to make a space in them. He watched Vince standing in front of Christine who was sitting down at her desk. They were both smiling and laughing which made Ari feel jealous.
"Figures…she probably is into Hollywood Heartthrobs" Ari said out loud to himself as he continued to spy.
Suddenly, he saw Vince's mega watt grin disappear into a somewhat disappointed frown.
"Yes!" Ari hissed out loud as he watched Vince turn around to Eric and Turtle, shrug his shoulders and walk off with them following behind.
Ari continued laughing to himself as he sat back down at his desk and turned to his computer. He knew he was right about Christine which made everything all the more complicated.
