Oh a claw machine, come on I'll get something for you, Steven dragged Penelope along leading the way. Which one do you want, he slipped a coin in and asked, anyone's fine, Jackson already got me loads on our bowling date, he was incredibly good at it, she beamed. I'm also really good, I'll get you the brown one, he positioned the claw desperately right above the bear and dropped it, the claw grabbed it and then fell right off. It's okay, like I said I've got plenty, Penelope sighed and walked towards the basketball machine, wait I can really get it, Steven rushed.
He felt so pressured because he noticed how Penelope had hearts in her eyes when looking at Jackson. She clearly didn't put effort into her outfit, just her normal jean and sweater outfit, no lip tint, no perfume, no random wide smiles, he could practically feel her slipping away.
Why does he have to call me to his office every chance he gets, Laura rued the moment he heard her say she was going to seduce him. Come in, he called out when she knocked, you know you don't have to knock, you can just come in, he smiled. No sir I shouldn't, you're my boss so it's just basic knowledge, she grinned with suppressed awkwardness. Why did you give Estella the file you were supposed to bring to me, oh that she giggled, you see I really had to use the toilet, and it was urgent to take your signature, so I sent her. Okay, that's understandable, he nodded, why are you still standing take a seat, he offered, no I'm fine with standing, she dismissed his offer.
Say, can you sing?, Ms Laura, Mr Wayne stood up and began strolling towards Laura, who instinctively began backing up. Sing, not really, she chuckled awkwardly, why do you ask, I'd like to hear you sing something for me, something like what, any song of your choice. Huh, Laura looked up at him perplexed at the sudden request of a song resulting in a wide toothy smile from him, any song of your choice, he repeated. Beads of sweat started to form on her forehead, and she gulped hard, why is he being so weird, she thought to herself, before taking a deep breath. "I tell myself you don't mean a thing, and what we've got got no hold on me", she began singing "only love can hurt like this by Paloma faith". "But when you're not there I just crumble", he suddenly joined in as they harmonized, "and everytime, everytime you go, it's like a knife that cut right through my soul, only love only love can hurt like this".
Hey there, Estella walked into Laura's house, Penelope just left for her last date with Steven, says she's gonna break the bad news to him, I feel kinda bad, she sighed. Anyways, what's up with you and the boss, he just gave us a day off out of the blue, I think these are the benefits of being your friend, she beamed. We sang, Laura started slowly, what was that, you remember when I told you to submit the new product files to him, she sprung up from the lifeless position she lay in, yh I do. He called me in later that day, and asked me to sing um for him, then he sang along with me, huh, Estella raised her brows. I was so confused, much more confused than you are, do you think he's cuckoo, she did a screw loose gesture. Erm.. I sure hope not, Estella cackled, sorry, sorry I'm not laughing at you, I'm sure he's not crazy, she managed to speak after noticing Laura giving her the stink eye.
What do you have planned for Penelope's birthday, Laura changed the topic. Oh, oh, she catched her breath before answering, I'm thinking of throwing a sick sweet sixteen birthday bash, it's gonna be Gnarly, which reminds me where's Patrick, he's definitely the best party planner I know, especially when it comes to Penelope. He's out of town, went to see some friends, but he'll be back on her birthday, he might take a day off and decorate the place.
You like pastries, I'm sure, so why aren't you eating, Steven queried. Oh nothing, I just have something to say, but I should probably finish eating before talking, she nodded to herself trying to muster up the courage to tell him she didn't feel the same way about him. Oh, by the way I'm sure you totally forgot, but I promised to show you around my house, so maybe when we're done here we can go home and you can tell me what you want, he smirked.
Wow, your art room is on another level literally, I wish I could be there everyday looking at those beautiful priceless paintings. You don't need to wish, I can bring you home everyday, my parents would love that, speaking of parents, I didn't see them anywhere, she realized. Oh yh, they're on vacation at a remote island, so I can't even contact them, he giggled. After you, woah, what's with the Victorian style of your room, she asked captivated as she strolled in, my mom insisted the bedrooms be Victorian style. You even have like a mini library in here, I really like your moms idea.
I'm glad you like it, have some tea, he offered with a smile, mm, this is good, she exclaimed as she sipped slowly, yh it's chamomile tea, it helps you rest. So, about what I wanted to say, she started uneasy, sitting next to him on his bed, actually it's, it's about, she shook her head as she suddenly felt drowsy. It's about who I lik…, she plopped onto the bed sleeping off mid conversation.
Where on earth is that girl, she told me she'd be back like three hours ago, what's wrong, is Penny not back yet, Laura walked out. Yes, and she told me she'd be back by five, it's 7:30, I'm starting to get really worried. It's okay, she probably lost track of time, give Steven a call, Laura suggested.
