Candira said:"What about you? Why are you a reporter?"
Zach watches Kelly stretch out as she tells her story. He listens closely, leaning in with interest. Her double entendre is most definitely not lost on him, though he has mixed feelings about responding in kind. The clever remarks he’d thought would resonate hadn’t all evening. And with Kelly stretching out seductively he has to actively fight the urge to respond with cheesy come-on.
“Eli is the other owner? The guy’s got some enviable real estate. I’m sure he won’t notice as long as we’re thick as thieves.” He returns her wink.
“I didn’t know you could to school for that sort of dance. You think it makes a difference in the end?” Zach muses out loud, letting his own double meaning linger in the air.
Zach takes a moment to push the sleeves of his blazer back up his forearms; the sleeves slide back into place just as quickly. “I’m not sure if looking for someone indispensible is naive. I just hope you have found him or her yet. On my part, I’m a reporter because it pays better than being a bum.”
He smiles crookedly. “It also lets me pry into strangers’ businesses. Pays for cheap beer when I’m not lucky enough to skim off sexy ladies. It got me up here. I like stories, I guess. Making them is ok, but I really like listening to them.”
