There Is Nothing I Do Better Than Revenge (terribly_vane) wrote in afic,
Content to simply lean back, Romilda let the conversation around them flow over her. She was more than happy to be with Robbie and away from the constant yelling and grumbling of the newsroom at the Prophet as the deadline approached. She was glad that he’d agreed to meet up with her and the light tone of the topic of conversation.
“I’ve never been accused of over thinking something before but I’ll take the compliment.” Continuing her flirtatious chatter, Romilda let her glance flit from Robbie’s eyes to his lips and back again as she inched up the power. “Well Mr Stebbins although a gentleman never tells, this lady would say you’re more than welcome to look your fill.” It was easy to tease him though their conversation wasn’t quite as blatent as those she had with friends such as Roger. Plus he was easy on the eye and as shallow as she was, she liked being seen with someone who was cute. It did her ego good.
“Do you ever do something simply because you can Roger? Eat cake, add marshmallows to hot chocolate or buy a pair of shoes that will be worn only a couple of times? I’d recommend it. It’s like eating breakfast in bed. A guilty pleasure but those are the best.” Tilting her head, she saw the way the waitress was listening in to their conversation and wondered if she could make her friend blush. A blush Robbie would certainly be something to see. “Do you like guilty pleasures Robert?” There was a slight hint of something more in her tone as she wondered about her friend, would he rise to the challenge or brush her off. He was someone she could never be entirely sure about.
“Eight pack?” Romilda’s laugh was amused and pleasant at the thought as she shook her head. “Now I know you’re bragging Robbie but I’ll play along. Half of an eight pack is almost as good as the whole thing, right? Since I’m sending you flowers will you tell me all about the girl. Roger said ah..the girl the two of you had talked about over chess is the same one he has. Does Miss Presents-a-Challenge like to eat a lot or is she dainty sort?”
