acting and didn’t just want Z list parts where she could show off her boobs like the other want to-be actresses I’d met in the past. "Have you been in a lot of productions then?"
"If you count the roles I’d had since I’ve been out of school, then none, zero." She shook her head and laughed and she walked back to the couch. "Okay. Did you order the pizza or shall I order it?"
"I thought you were going to order it seeing as you offered it." I teaser her.
"Well, I did get the beer and the wine."
"You got bud light, dude." I wrinkled my nose. “The lowest of the low beers.”
"Yeah, but I still got beer and wine." She grinned and I tried not to stare at her pink lips and cute button nose.
"Fine." I grinned "I'll order pizza, what place is good around here?"
"I think there's a place called Mafia Brothers Pizza. It's a couple of blocks away. We can have them deliver or we can walk and pick it up.”
"I'm down for a walk if you are, it'll be nice to see the neighborhood." And also to get to know her better. See what made her tick. See if she felt any attraction to me whatsoever.
"Yeah. I was thinking the same thing. I think there's meant to be a park close to here. I haven't actually gone in it yet."
"Might be nice to walk through it."
"Yeah."
"As we get to know each other, you know, if you really want, we can get down and dirty in the park. I won’t say no if you ask me."
"Really Ethan?" She eyeballed me. “That’s so not appropriate."
"How is it not appropriate? I've already seen you practically naked."
"Yes, and you weren't supposed to." Her face looked at me with a sour expression. Her cheeks were a delightful color of red and I couldn’t stop myself from Iaughing loudly. "Hey, I enjoyed the view. No need to be worried or upset."
"Why would I be worried or upset?"
"I don't know." I winked at her and laughed again as she rolled her eyes at me. "So, do we leave now? Should I order it first? And then..."
"Are you super-duper hungry, right this minute?" She asked, "Because I think they're really quick. It will almost probably be ready in 15 minutes."
"Oh, okay. I mean, I can always eat I'm a guy."
"Uh-Huh? Lucky you."
"Lucky me what? You can’t always eat?"
"I mean, I can always eat, but I wouldn't have your figure, if I was doing that all the time."
"You’ve got a pretty nice figure yourself." I looked her up and down and admired her curves. She had the sort of figure that made you hard in seconds. And I was growing hard as I stared at her. Bad idea.
"So, Ethan."
"Yes. That's my name?"
"What is it you do for a living? You never said."
I stared at her for a few seconds. I wanted to tell her the truth, but in a way, I was glad that I had a different persona right now. She would be one of the first women I'd met as a poor Ethan. I was curious to see what difference that would make in the dating department. "I just got a new job actually."
"Oh."
"Yeah. I'm working for realtors." I shrugged "Not really my first choice, but you got to take whatever job you can get, right?"
"Yeah. That’s a bit funny that you're a realtor and this is the best apartment you could get."
She raised in eyebrow and I started laughing. "No, I'm not a realtor. I'm actually a private investigator. Well kind of."
"Oh wow. What are you investigating? High crime in the penthouse suits of Manhattan’s elite."
"Not really. Have you heard of forensic accountants?"
"Can't say that. I have, sorry."
"Well, basically a forensic accountant goes over the books of a different company or different companies and looks to see where the money is going, and basically that's what I'm doing at this realtors office."
"Huh?" She looked like she had no clue what I was saying. "So you're an accountant and a private investigator working at a realtor's office." She looked confused.
"Okay. No, I'm not an accountant and I'm not... Anyway, it doesn't matter. Let's just say I've been hired to check the books."
"Okay. What realtor's office or am I not allowed to ask?"
"I think I'll keep that private for now."
"Don't worry. I'm not going to show up at your office or anything. No matter how many times you leave the toilet seat up."
She grinned at me.
