All elements are either products of the author’s imagination or are used fictitiously.
Anything else is a coincidence.
Jocelyn was about the same age as Nicole and Daniella, was taller than all of them and was very thin. She was married to a nice kid Brady had seen running around the bank a couple of times. Jocelyn got right to the point.
“I been sent to gather 411 on you,” Jocelyn said.
Brady smiled.
“I’m not allowed to say for who though.”
Brady looked around.
“It’s Nicole and Daniella, isn’t it?”
Jocelyn would’ve made a good spy. She did not look around in shock and her face gave nothing away. She pretended to be going through some paperwork.
“There is no way for you to know that,” she said tactically.
“Well, they’re both standing there looking at us. Staring at us, actually, like we’re a jury deciding their guilt or innocence. That kind of clued me in.”
Jocelyn laughed. It was true; they were standing together outside of Nicole’s office, Nicole with her hands on her hips and the pair could not have been more conspicuous had they been waving at them.
“They both like you.”
“Yeah, I can tell. I like them, too, I ask either one of them out, they say yes. No doubt.”
Jocelyn, still inspecting paperwork, nodded.
“What are you going to do?”
“Hell, I don’t know. I ask one out and not the other, I hurt the other. I don’t want that.”
Jocelyn nodded.
“You ask none of them out, you miss out on their charms. And they both have more than their share.”
Brady nodded.
“Plus,” Jocelyn noted. “They both have humongous boobies. You stare at them constantly.”
“I do not!”
“OK. My bad. You’re right. You don’t. I don’t know what I was thinking.”
Brady laughed. Jocelyn was right. He scratched his head.
“I don’t want to not ask neither of them out…” Brady let the sentence trail while Jocelyn laughed.
“That didn’t make any sense, did it?” Brady asked.
“No, Sir,”: Jocelyn said as if passing judgment. “It did not.”
Brady chuckled, looked down, scratched his nose.
“You’re not seeing anybody?” Jocelyn’s tone made it clear this was the question she had been dispatched to ask. Neil shook his head.
“No, no one seriously for a while. Really kind of looking for something serious.”
“Daniella is looking. Nicole is seeing someone long distance. They get together most weekends. She’s just doing it so she can say she’s seeing someone. She’s looking, too.”
“I’d like to see both of them…”
Jocelyn picked up her paperwork and held it against her chest. She had to go.
“They are both free Friday night.”
