Chapter 14
"What happened?"Nick anxiously inquired upon AJ's return to that particular floor.
"There's a  sea of reporters she had to swim through down there."
"We'll be fine.  What happened with her?"
"Why are you all of a sudden so curiuos?"
"Come on Age.  I think we both know who's kid this is."
"Is that so?"
"You saw the picture yourself.  You know who she looks like."
"Doesn't matter who she looks like. That woman belongs to me."
"She belongs to you?  No wonder you don't have a woman."
"You're one to talk."
"At least the ones I want to get to know, I don't treat them like objects."
"And you're saying I do?"
"If the shoe fits.  Come on Age.  I don't wanna argue about this but you're gonna lose before you even start."
"Meaning what?"
"Wipe the lipstick off your face and start treating her like a human being."
"And if I don't?"
"Then it's your loss.  She's a  nice girl."
"She slept with both of us in one night.  How nice can she be?"
"You just don't get it do you?"
"Enlighten me young un."
"You live  on such a double standard AJ.  Don't you think women have some of our fantasies in reverse?"
"What  are ya getting at?"
"She wanted two men.  We happened to be there.  End of story.  She had a fantasy fulfilled."
"And now somebody's a daddy."
"Yes.  It's not the end of the world.  I thought it was before but I'm realizing the thought of caring for a child isn't so disgusting after all."
"You crack me up.  You think you'd actually have a chance with her."
"And you would be so much better for her?"
"Yes I would."
"If you honestly believe you would make the best choice, then let her make the decision,"silently plotting with the information of her hotel location after AJ's revelation.


He was at her door not really sure what he was doing but he knocked.
She looked through the peephole.  She opened the door."What do you want?"
"Nice to see  you too."
"I'm sorry.  Come on in,"she stepped aside as he entered the room.  She closed the door."Have a seat."
"Thank you."
"Your friend has the manners of a ape."
"I know.  He doesn't seem to understand women."
"Oh he understands women.  He just understands them physically."
"You have a pretty bleak view him don't you?"
"I'm a  woman.  I see through the barriers.  He throws them up every chance he gets."
"And you're so insightful to this because?"
"Because he's just like me."
"Just like you?"
"He didn't tell you what happened in the elevator?"
"It's pretty evident what happened in the elevator Cindy."
"We kissed."
"Are you sure that's all that happened?"
"I was there."
"No skin off my back but we do need to talk about something."
"Look Nick,  I think we all know that baby is yours but I'm just not interested in getting involved with anyone right now."
"That's not what I was talking about but I would like you to send me pictures of her."
"And how would I do that?"
"The internet."
"Are you sure that's so safe?"
"Not any more discreet then getting through the mail."
"Then we don't have a problem.  One thing though Nick."
"Yeah?"
She pecked him on the cheek."Thank you for being a friend."
"Not a problem.  You have a safe trip,"he hugged her and  left  the room.  There's your angle.
