In Denial Ch. 10
"Uh-huh. Yeah," Miguel responded as Theresa was listening curiously. "Sounds great. We'll see you there at 9:00PM."
"So?" asked Theresa. "Where are we going tonight?"
"A club called Sizzle." Miguel handed Theresa her cell phone. "So you have two hours to get dolled up for you know who."
"Are you are suggesting that I'm interested in Fox romantically?" Theresa was holding back from laughing.
Miguel gave a shrug. "Sis, I know you better than anyone. I can tell when you're interested in someone and that someone happens to be your co-star."
"Ha...that's a good one. Miguel, seriously, he's a friend. He's my co-star for goodness sake."
"What does that have to do with anything?"
"Everything. You know how I feel about mixing business with pleasure."
"So Fox would be your pleasure!" Miguel was grinning from Theresa's statement. He knew that she let something she didn't want anyone to know slip, but it was too late. She couldn't take her words back.
"I didn't mean that. It didn't come out right. What I meant was I would never date a co-worker because it could complicate things, and I enjoy having as little drama in my life as I can."
"Sure sis. I believe you," Miguel said in a tone that suggested he didn't believe his sister at all. "Well go get ready otherwise we'll never make it to the club."
"Hey! I can get ready in no time," Theresa replied defensively.
"This is coming from a person who takes two hours to get ready to go to the supermarket. Let's make a bet then. If you can get ready in one hour, I'll be your slave until I leave. But if you aren't ready in time, you have to dance with Fox the entire night and admit that you like him."
"It's a deal."
"Uh-huh. Yeah," Miguel responded as Theresa was listening curiously. "Sounds great. We'll see you there at 9:00PM."
"So?" asked Theresa. "Where are we going tonight?"
