Audrey's Audition

"Sure. Go ahead," I breathed. In my current relaxed state, I was highly suggestible.

"Is there anyone special in your life?" she asked. "A woman you spend time with?"

"Ha!" I laughed. "Hardly. In this business, it's either do without, or get with someone else who works here. I get laid plenty, but I wouldn't call it special. Just physical satisfaction. Why?"

"Well," she said softly, standing up again. She sauntered over, and sat on my lap, with her arms around my neck. "I don't know if you're aware of this, but I'm not from around here. I only really know one person, an uncle, who lives nearby. I've heard he's alone, and I don't have anyone else in my life either. It might be nice to spend some time together. Maybe dinner, or..."

"Perhaps breakfast?" I smiled, catching her drift. It might be nice to have someone as a regular guest in my bed. Maybe more than a guest.

"I can even cook," she nodded.

Forget what I said earlier about being twenty-five years older. I really might just keep her, for myself, after all.
