Teresa: I was sitting in my bosses office waiting for him to come in. I couldn't stop thinking about the night before. Abs...that kiss...."Alright Teresa! Let's here your report!" Bill-my boss-said and he entered his own office and sat behind his large desk. "Well...um..I sort of have bad news" I said nervously. "What sort of bad news?" he asked suspiciously. "Well I...I didn't make it as one of Five's dancers" I said the last part very quickly. "What!?" Bill exclaimed. "How are you suppose to get aquainted with the group if you aren't one of their dancers!?" He yelled. "Well, I did meet them all" I said sharply. I did not appreciate being yelled at. "Great!" Bill said with a change of tone. "So, you met Richard Breen then?" He asked. "Yes, and um, about that..." "What about it?" he said, eyeing me. "Well what if I dated one of the other lads? I mean, this Abs-that's what they call him-character well he's kind of-" I searched my brain for an excuse. "He's kind of closed up if you know what I mean. It'll be loads easier to get dirt from one of the other lads. Maybe Scott? J?" Bill sighed. "No can do Teresa. Scott's engaged, J's got a girl named Dani and I believe that Sean guy has a girl named Suzanne" "Well what about that other Richard? The one they call Ritchie?" I asked hopefully. Bill shook he's head. "He's had a steady girlfriend for ages. It's that popstar Nikki Taylor, have you heard of her?" "Who hasn't" I said bitterly. Why did all of them but Abs have to be taken? "Looks like you've got your work cut out for you Teresa. You're going to have to get a date with this Abs guy without being a dancer." I stared at my feet and grimaced unhappily, "I already have.." "What's that?" Bill questioned. I looked up and said "I already have" "Really? Smashing! Well you better go work on your notes then! Go on, get out" he said excitedly. As I was walking out the door Bill called to me "Oh and Teresa? Remember: It's you're job. Don't mix business with pleasure. Just get the dirt and then get out. Don't get involved emotionally" I nodded and walked out but as I remembered the kiss I knew that his warning was too late.
