A/N: What?! Two updates in one day? I know, crazy stuff. But the last one was soooo short, I would have felt seriously guilty if it was the only one I uploaded during my my hour of internet time at the library. So here is update #2!


The Seventh Call: Discussing Men With Your Boss

"Nanao Ise speaking."

"Ah, Nanao? Sorry about that last call, I didn't mean to be quite that abrupt."

"It's fine. And I apologize for calling you a flirt."

"What? Oh, that's fine. I mean, it's true. But I thought you'd want to know – I didn't call Grimmjow. You know, the hottie."

"Good."

"Although I don't see why I shouldn't have. I mean, the reception was totally legit and all, so it's not like he's some random guy I picked up at a bar or anything. But Toshiro didn't seem to like him either, so I guess it's as well I didn't. Call, I mean. Or make-out with him. Although that would probably have been worth it."

Sigh. "No, Rangiku, it would not have been. And why exactly were you talking to Mr. Hitsugaya about that other man?"

Laughter. "You make it sound like we're an old married couple! But why not talk to Toshiro about him - we both met him didn't we?"

"Yes, but Mr. Hitsugaya is your boss."

"You wouldn't talk to Shunsui about a guy you'd both met at a reception?"

"…No. Especially not if I wanted an opinion on his relative attractiveness."

"Oh. Well, that's just you, then. But, anyway, back to the really good reason I didn't call Grimmjow – I met someone cuter!"

"Rangiku!"

Laughter. "Just kidding! Hey, I'm getting back tomorrow afternoon, so check and see if the girls can get together so we can all go out for drinks, okay?"

From the background: "Matsumoto! Are you using the phone for personal calls again?"
