I give it two months and he’ll be proposing. After you left he was so tore up he wouldn’t even look at another girl for years,” Kate relaxed back in her chair.
“He’s just going to have to get over it. He can’t expect to call dibs on me just because we used to be an item,” Ani’s voice was matching the irritation spreading throughout her body.
“I am surprised he hasn’t peed on your leg already,” Kate laughed.
“That’s disgusting, Kate.”
“Just give it some time and I’m sure he’ll ease up. Maybe go on a date with someone new and let him know that you aren’t playing around,” Kate suggested.
“Well…” Ani’s voice trailed off as excitement began taking over the irritation. “What’s the story with the bikers?” Ani asked.
“Why?” Kate looked at her as if she knew where Ani was going with this conversation.
“I’m just wondering,” Ani tried to be convincing.
“Lawd help me!” Kate leaned forward onto her desk and whispered, “You have it for one of those bikers don’t you?”
“No!” Ani protested, trying to wipe the shit eating grin off of her face. “Ok, I might have met one and he may have piqued my interest.”
“Piqued your interest? Jesus, Ani, you’re gonna start wearing leather under drawers aren’t you? Riding motorcycles and smoking cigarettes too,” Kate smiled proudly over at her.
If there was one thing Kate was not, it was a prude. Kate had been a free spirit since before she and Ani had become friends. She had always lived her life to the fullest, practicing the play first and ask for forgiveness later motto.
“I’ve only talked to him a few times and I don’t even know if he will call me.”
“You gave him your number?” Kate’s face exuded the shock in her voice, “This is not the Ani I used to know. Where is she and what have you done to her?”
“She’s forever locked away in the shy and reserved closet she belongs in,” Ani smiled.
“I like this new Ani. I think she and I could get along great,” Kate’s eyes were devious, “So if he does call are you going to go out with your new sweet meat?”
“I don’t know. Cash wanted to do something this weekend so I’ll have to find an excuse to get out of that.” The guilt of blowing him off began settling in her stomach.
“Tell him that you and I are going out and if you need to back up that story, then just let me know when Knight Rider is going to pick us up,” She smiled playfully as her eyes glanced toward the door and Jill’s head came leaning into the door frame.
“Ani, I’m sorry to interrupt but I have a customer here that I need help with,” Jill smiled apologetically between her and Kate.
“Sure, let’s walk to my office,” Ani stood, “This conversation isn’t over, Kate Benson.”
“I look forward to finishing it,” the devious smile spread across her face once more before turning back to her computer.
As Ani followed Jill over to her office she glanced toward the customer sitting at Jill’s desk. He was dressed in the same ragged leather cut and tattered jeans as the men she’d seen the day of her interview.
As they stepped into her office she closed the door, “What’s wrong, Jill?” Ani could see the concern on Jill’s face, something about this man wasn’t sitting right with her.
“Well, he wants to open an account with over twenty thousand in cash. Of course, that threw up red flags and when I asked him how he’d acquired the money he refused to tell me. If he won’t tell me I can’t fill out the proper regulation paperwork and in turn I cannot open the account,” Jill talked nervously.
“Ok, do you want me to speak with him?”
“If you wouldn’t mind.” A look of relief washed over Jill’s face before she left back toward her desk.
Ani removed the papers and folder from her desk just as Jill came back, showing the man into her office. She stood to shake the man’s hand, but he refused and plopped down sideways into
