the lounge when Lady Davenport stepped in front of her.
“Look…I meant what I said about you being a great asset to my corporation, but I’d be wrong if I didn’t admit to you that I was attracted to you.” “Look…just take a couple of days to think about it…if you are interested, the job is yours, but you got until next week or I take the offer off the table, okay?”
India looked her straight in the eye as she replied, “Let me think real careful about this before I make a decision…I’ll let you know alright.” “Thank you again, Lady Davenport for such a gracious offer.”
As she stepped around her walking out the lounge, India smiled as she thought, “Damn…now that’s a deal that I can’t refuse, but I gotta play this right!” “I gotta make sure that she ain’t playing me.” “But what about my firm and that damn St. Croix…he’ll really think that I was part of setting this scam up!” “I really need to play this right if I want to come out squeaky clean!”

As India strolled out of the lounge, area Danika slowly made her way toward her. She glanced at her as if she knew something was going on, quickly passing her a Long Island Ice Tea.
“So what’s going with the Caribbean Queen?” “I know she wants to taste that cat of yours.”
India laughed as she took the drink and replied, “She’s an extremely interesting woman...one that I could learn a great deal from.”
Danika frowned as she sipped her drink and then replied, “Yeah…I bet, so how’d she like the presentation?” “Do you think you’ll be able to land the deal?”
“Yeah…I think I can, but I have to play my cards right because it could backfire if I’m not careful!”
Danika smiled as she said, “Ooohhhh sooo she wants to do you huh?”
India laughed as she began to stroll toward the bar, “What makes you think that?”
Danika raising her voice slightly, “I saw the way she was gawking at you during the brief…I know game when I see it!”
India stopped and faced Danika as she replied, “Why are you always thinking about sex…is that the only thing that’s important to you Danika?”
Travis turned from his conversation as he noticed the women’s conversation heating up. He excused himself from his banter and slowly strolled over toward the girls.
As he reached them, India was in the middle of her dialogue, “Danika, you have to stop thinking that everyone is trying to get someone in bed!”
Travis quickly intervened, “Hey ladies…what’s going on?” “I could hear you two clear across the room!”
India quickly responded, “Travis everything is fine…we were just about to have another drink…would you like one?”
Danika looked at him with an obnoxious expression as she replied, “Yeah…I’ll take another one but…”
He quickly interrupted, “Whatever the problem is get it nipped in the bud now!” “I don’t want people to see our team in such weak disarray!” “Please ladies…stay focused!”
He turned around and strolled back to his clients as India and Danika got their drinks and strolled over toward a table just to the right of the bar. As they made their way toward the table, Lady Davenport emerged from the lounge area, noticing India and Danika as they sat down.
India turned her head, slowly noticing Lady Davenport staring at her with a mischievous grin on her face. India just smiled slightly as she sipped her drink. Danika noticed the exchange and quickly turned in that direction of the lounge, but saw no one. She glanced back at India as she asked, “What are you smiling at?”
India glared at her, “You know something, Danika…if I didn’t know any better I’d say you’re in love with me or something…Are you in love with me?”
For the first time since they were on this assignment, Danika was without words. She looked at India as she tried to decipher what she wanted to say to answer the question. She didn’t want to seem like some weak ass lesbian or in this case a pussy whooped one as she replied, “Well India…I must admit that I find you extremely attractive and I would love to be with you but…my game is a little tighter then that!” “I just don’t want you to get twisted in this marketing game…that’s all!”
India knew by what Danika said to her that she was sprung over her. Although, Danika tried to hide her feelings, she knew deep down that she was infatuated with her.
