Now You Steele It, Now You Don't
by Suejue
"Hawaii," Laura declared pushing her way through, once
he opened the door. "They have beaches, and I'm sure we
can find someone to make you a pina colada. Fred's waiting downstairs,
our plane leaves in an hour." With plane tickets in hand,
she was obviously ready to go, complete with flower in her hair
and island attire. He stood there dumbfounded for a moment. "C'mon,
don't just stand there. Aren't you the one who prescribed this
trip?"
He smiled apprehensively not sure to really believe that Laura
was actually going through with it.
"I'll be right back." He disappeared into his bedroom
and came out minutes later with a small bag.
His hopes for a romantic weekend alone with Laura were dashed
when he saw Mildred waiting in the limo wearing an Hawaiian print
blouse. As he put his luggage in the trunk, he pulled Laura aside
inquiring, "Mildred's going too?"
"Well you thought it would be good for agency morale,"
Laura reminded him.
"Are you sure you didn't ask her just to keep a buffer between
us again?"
"I called the hotel and signed her up for every tour and
hula lesson they had to offer." Laura said intently.
"No buffer?" Remington clarified.
"No buffer," Laura confirmed.
