We Kiss, We Make Up
He stopped short and pulled her over to the wall by the doorway. He whispered, "Ri...do you have a mirror on you?" She dug through her purse and handed him a compact mirror.
"Why?" He put a finger to his lips and then held up the mirror. In it, Ria saw Gillian leaning over Cal's desk. "Yeah, so what? They're talking." Eli shook his head and darted over to the other side of the door.
"Hardly." Pulling Ria over to him, he handed her the mirror. "Take a look." She did. "Seems to me like our boss has a thing for our favorite psychologist." Later that day, Ria walked into Gillian's office, only to find her applying a fresh coat of pinkish-brown lipstick.
"Hey, Gillian."
"Ria, can you give me some advice?" Ria knew what sort of hypothetical situation Gillian was going to give her. So she decided to play along.
"Sure."
"Okay. So one of my friends knows that her boss likes her. And it's obvious. But she doesn't know what to do, because she's still married, but her husband's cheating on her, and she doesn't want to tell her husband that it's over. What should she do?" Ria looked over at the door.
"Well..." Ria stopped. Her mind went wacko. She channeled her inner Eli. "WHAT THE HELL?! YOU AND CAL?! OH MY GOD! SINCE WHEN?! HAVE YOU HAD HOT NASTY SEX YET?!" Outside the office, Eli stood there, reading a fax. He stuck his head into Gillian's office.
"Gillian, are you giving Ri a heart attack?" Gillian shrugged.
"No." Ria took a deep breath and lowered her voice.
"But seriously. When did you and Cal..."
"Last week." Ria nodded, and Cal walked into Gillian's office. Ria whispered something to Gillian, and then left. Gillian blushed furiously and saw Ria and Eli watching them from outside.
A/N: This is oh-so short. I will definitely be posting more Eli/Ria stories later, maybe some oneshots. But I must warn you, I like going into uncharted territory. *evil squirrel laugh*
