“You’re kidding?”
“He’s had some winners, but he hasn’t exactly led a blazing trail over the last couple of years. Still, it feels sudden. Come to think of it, I saw him leaving Jerry’s office yesterday. He didn’t look very happy, but Jerrywould have said something if he’d been given his walking papers then.”
“Huh...now that you mention it, Kurt called me yesterday, a couple of times. The first time he wanted to know if I’d finished with my other interviews. The second time he asked what it would take for me to join his team.”
“What did you tell him?”
“I didn’t want to work in television, then he started badgering me. He wouldn’t take no for an answer. He called was right before you picked me up. That’s why I kept you waiting. I couldn’t get him off the phone and I didn’t want to hang up on him.”
“Maybe he thought recruiting you might save his bacon.”
“I have no idea, but I’m glad I don’t have to worry about him calling me again. He was weird and so annoying. He couldn’t stop talking. I think he was stoned or something.”
“Enough about Kurt. I have three questions for you.”
“Okay, what’s the first?”
“Are you hungry?”
“I’m absolutely starving.”
“Good, me too. Let’s order room-service. Is your butt still sore?”
“Excuse me?” she said, punching him. “What kind of a question is that?”
“If it’s not I’m going to freshen it up. Make sure you behave a little while longer.”
“Yes, it is, and you don’t need to worry. I’ll be a good girl. Next question.”
“Would you like to stay another night? We could hang out here today, then take a run into Beverly Hills in the morning, have lunch, and do a bit of Sunday shopping.”
“A mini-vacation! Sunday shopping That’s a great dea!”
“After we have breakfast, we can pick up a few things at the notoriously expensive hotel store, then pamper ourselves. Have massages, lie by the pool...”
“We can be naughty, make all kinds of noises,” she said with a giggle, “have the manager banging on the door.”
“Exactly!”
“You’re serious?”
“I’m absolutely serious, unless you have other plans.”
“I don’t, and even if I did, I’d change them.”
“Great! Let’s eat breakfast, then I’ll ravage you some more.”
“Before we go to the notoriously expensive hotel store?”
“Yes, before that.”
“Zach,” she said dropping her voice. “Thanks for all this. Thanks for everything.”
“Even your spanking?”
“No. Definitely not that.”
“Seriously?” he pressed, raising his eyebrows.
