Chapter 2

"Hello? Beksa Riley speaking?" "Heya Bek', its Ace. How are you today?" Beksa sighed. Ace was a cool guy, but his ego was bigger than the other guys she'd dated, and she HATED guys with egos the size of a small African country. "Hello Ace. I'm mildly annoyed. It's 8:30 in the morning, please don't buzz me at this time." she said firmly, but kindly. "Look, Beksa. Have you thought anymore on that position I offered you? You would be wise to accept it as soon as possible, or another lass will get it. And that's not what I want" "Ace, I don't accept mission offers JUST because the commanding officer has a schoolboy crush on me. I don't sink that low" "What gave you that impression?" "You suck up to me, insist I come on your mission, make me sick with all the letters you've been sending me sprayed with something that smells like Lynx deodorant AND you go gooey when you hear my voice. Is that enough?" "OK, so maybe I do. But you are a good girl, and I think that you should come on my mission," Ace didn't understand why she was resisting him. "You only want me to come so you can make love to me!" Beksa found herself yelling down the phone "I'm not a slut ok? Maybe I don't want to be on this mission because I have other arrangements! And who in their right minds would have a crush on a stupid smegger like you!!" She slammed the phone down and crashed back on her bed. She was shaking from yelling. Ace had seemed so nice when they first met. Now Beksa realised that he was a love mad gimboid with a lower IQ than a rotten apple. She would never sink to his level.
