was useless. He wasn’t listening to her. He was amusing himself and she’d turned herself into the punchline of his joke. Nothing new there.
Her shoulders slumped. There didn’t seem much point in pursuing this.
Which was when she realised he’d turned back. He moved like some predatory king of the beasts, deceptively at ease as he padded lightly but with a natural authority through the crowds towards her, and the female in her fluttered responsively.
The way he was looking at her as he approached, she could have been the only woman on the street.
Stupid female—she was going to get torn apart if she wasn’t careful.
He circled her, forcing her to turn, and turn again, as he looked her up and down.
‘What exactly are you going to do for this pay-rise, Red?’
‘Dance,’ she responded with a little frown.
‘Right.’ He winked at her and took off again, and she found herself hurrying after him.
This time he kept it to a slow lope, his attention on her. Maybe at last she could get him to listen.
‘And when do you take your clothes off?’
‘Pardon?’ she squeaked.
‘That’s the bit I’m interested in, Red. I assume I get to see this private dance if I take you back to the hotel?’
Gigi almost hit a traffic sign. She put out her hands to grab the pole.
‘What are you talking about?’
‘Women throw themselves at me all the time. Why would you be any different?’
‘I’m not here for that,’ she said impatiently, trying to work out what he meant by ‘private dance’.
‘“That” is sex, and I can get it anywhere. You’ll have to up the ante, Red.’
She almost stumbled over her feet. Sex? She wasn’t offering him sex! Who had said anything about sex?
But he was getting away, and it shot through Gigi, hot and scalding, that this might be the last thing they ever discussed and he was going to go away thinking she was...well, Solange!
Her legs stopped working and she just stood there, watching his lean muscular form pound a little further into the distance. Frustrated beyond belief.
‘I am not here to have sex with you!’ she hollered after him.
