The state of the mansion had greatly improved in the months that had passed since Teresa's hiring. Now that she didn't have any heavy duty cleaning projects, Teresa's workload had dwindled down to daily upkeep and whatever special tasks the bandmembers had for her. As a result, Russel had started giving her more days off.

The extra time made her mind more susceptible to introspection. There was a list of things that were beginning to bother her. Chief among these things was the fact that she hadn't gotten laid since that fiasco of a blind date a month ago, and it was such that it had made her decide to stop trying.

As she finished the day's to-do list, she decided that it was best not to think of it too much. Anyway, it was the weekend and she wanted to go out as soon as possible to get wasted, or stoned... or figured if anything else, Murdoc would probably come by her room eventually and invite her to the bar. Or to his Winnebago for booze and weed. At this point it didn't matter, she was pretty bored.

Ever since the aforementioned blind date, Murdoc and Teresa had become pretty good friends. She'd noticed that Murdoc had taken to inviting her out occasionally when he went to the bar. Other times, Murdoc simply texted her to join him in his Winnebago and the two would listen to music, get stoned and talk about general meaningless bullshit.

Teresa always felt obliged, especially since she had been nursing a secret crush on him. Lucky for her, it wasn't anything she couldn't handle. The only reason she hadn't tried to sleep with him was because she wished to keep her job. Russel had confronted her about the nature of her and Murdoc's friendship and also advised her to be wary of Murdoc. Murdoc later informed her he'd gotten interrogated as well, though he'd been threatened rather than warned.

Then there was the awkwardness that happened after she had made a move on 2D. Teresa was not remotely interested in repeating the experience with Murdoc.

Anyway, Murdoc was usually busy with his groupies so she imagined anything she had to offer wouldn't be novel enough to give her a minute of his time. Teresa was quite alright with this, especially since it was entertaining to watch.

Some of them cried and yelled, others hid their faces in shame but they all had to pass by Teresa's room and she usually received a knock on her door and a request to be let out.

She usually had no problems with this, especially since it tickled her when they'd ask her what their chances with Murdoc were or if he was the type to call back.

If her smirk didn't give the answer away, she didn't know what would.

Of course, in the back of Teresa's mind, she couldn't help but be slightly jealous of these women who'd literally done what she couldn't.

Teresa retreated to her room to shower and get dressed, tonight she'd go out by herself and try to take care of her dry spell.
