Dinner offers and memories from the past

[Jeszika]

It had been a.... interesting, yet long week for Jeszika Gautier, with one person dominating a fair chunk of her thoughts for a majority of it.

Broderick Montgomery.

What was it about this guy? Why did he affect her like this? have her so wound up lie tight coil set to spring? Whatever it was she couldn't bring herself to throw away his number and had failed said number many times only to hang up straight away cos she honestly didn't know what to say.

She sighs before pulling out her cellphone again and looks at the card in her hand again and shaking her head before dailing the number on it.

it starts ringing. She waits as it does so, debating hanging up. She didnt know why she had kept his number, nor called it, but something in her told her to. She listens as it rings... waiting patiently

Brody was sitting in his penthouse before a roaring fire. A glass of scotch in his hand and his eyes staring out the window at the strip's skyline. When he heard the cell phone ring he looked down at his side and saw the number and a little smirk touched the corners of his mouth. The phone was flipped open and brought up to his ear.

Brody:

"....Hello Beautiful."

Jeszika looks surpised as he asnwered

Jeszika: 

"Hello Brody... You know, I don't know why I'm calling you really, everything told me not to... So give me a reason not to hang up or I will..."

Brody: 

"I'm not going to convince you to talk to me Jeszika. You either want to or you don't. I never forced anything out of you, and i don't intend to start now. Why not start by asking yourself....why did you call"

Jeszika: 

"I... I don't know... But some crazy deep down part of me told me to keep your number... told me to call me... Told me that your apology was sincere. While the other part, is screaming at me to run far and run fast... That your nothing but a user looking for a quick fuck..."

She exhales forcefully

Jeszika: 

"So which is it? Are you sincere? Or are you just looking to use me again?"

Brody:

"Is that what you think happened the first time? I used you? Do you not remember biting me? urging me for more? Did you.....not use me in your own regard Jez? Your first time with a man was.....horrible. You found someone who could play your body the way you wanted....did you not yearn yourself for more? Was i not more then a thrill to you? you certianly fled back to women fast enough."

Jeszika:
"I never wanted to be with a man... I never..."

She says this quietly before she shakes her head, frustration growing in her.

Jeszika: 

"Yeah it was good... Amazing in fact... And I'll have you know, I'm not off whoring around after I was with you... A single one night stand with a bar tender is all I have had since I was with you. Yeah I've met Melissa, but not everyone gets to fuck me right off of the first night. I'll have to you me and Melissa havent even slept together yet at all. We havent even kissed!'

Brody:

"Then i suppose you answered your own question Jez. I didn't use you. Til you what. We both have matches at Tragic Engagement. Why don't we go out after? No Alcohol, for you at least, just dinner. A nice steak dinner. Aint nothing in the world better after a hard fight, then some nice big meat...."

A faint little chuckle offered then he added

Brody:

"....No pun intended."

Jeszika: 

"And if I refuse?"

Brody:

"Then you refuse....and i suppose i know where you stand in all of this. Don't i?"

Jeszika: 

"And if I come... Then what?"

Brody:

"Then we have dinner, and take things from there. Perhaps an evening dancing. After that, it's a open slate." 

Jeszika: 

"Just dinner... So this isnt just some ploy to get laid again? There's no strings attached to this dinner?"

Brody:

"Jez, do i strike you as a man who works this hard to sleep with a woman a second time? Everything you have seen....does that strike you as me?"

Jeszika: 

"I guess not... I guess we're having dinner after the show then."

Brody:

"One last qeustion before i go Jez. And feel free to laugh and hang up on me. i am curious. How much of your anger that morning was when you rolled over and i wasn't there to go again?" 

Jeszika: 

"Most of the anger was at awakening to your bitch of a bodyguard kicking us out, and yeah, you kinda not being there anymore. Abandoning me like some cheap whore."

Brody:

"Wanna know a secret Jez?"

Jeszika: 

What?

Brody:

"No woman in my entire life was ever as animated as you. Needed it more. Craved the touch. The feeling. The taste. I've watched many women's hair and eyes, but never with such intensity. Never had a woman in front of me arch her back so hard, desperate for just one more milimeter, or try and gasp and scream so hard at the same time no sound came out. i still...dream about it."

A little smirk touched the corners of his lips at that, hidden, his voice smooth and almost filled with desperate need.

Brody:

"You did that. Goodbye Beautiful."

Though he didn't hang up yet, he waited to hear, her breathing her tone.

Jeszika pauses for a second, memories of that night ruhing over her and overcome her for a second. 

Jeszika: 

Goodbye Brody.

She hangs up the phone and instantly curses to herself.

Jeszika: Shit.. Damnit! Jezzy why are you so stupid! 

She sits down on the bed and pulls out her phone, dailing the one person she thinks she can talk to right now.

Bethany: 

Hello? 

Jeszika: 

Beth... it's Jezzy. Are you busy? 

Bethany: 

No... what's up? 

Jeszika: 

I... I need to talk to you. Can you come over? 

Bethany: 

Be there in ten... 

Jeszika: 

Thanks, B. 

She hangs up her phone and flops down on the bed, dropping the phone on the pilliow next to her. How did she let herself get into this mess? Brody's words had left her confused, bewildered.... 

And strangly turned on. 

God damnit Jezzy... Why did you say yes! 

10 minutes later, a knock is heard on her door. 

Jeszika: 

Come in, B... 

_{The door opens and Bethany Kenyon comes in looking mildly worried.} 

_Bethany: 

_{What's wrong, Jezzy?} 

Jeszika: 

I... You remember how Brody gave me his number the other day? 

Bethany nods, swallowing her shock as best she can. 

Bethany: 

You... called him, didn't you? 

_{Jeszika nods.} 

Jeszika: 

Yes... He asked me to dinner, B. He made me think about everything from that night. B, I said yes! 

_{Bethany just stares at her friend, the words barely rolling into her ears.} 

Bethany: 

Is it... a really real... date?

_Jeszika: 

_{I... I don't know! He invited me to dinner... That's all. Then he asked me if I enjoyed what he did to me that night.} 

_{She stand up and starts pacing.} 

Jeszika: 

He asked me if I was angry that morning cause I could get more of him when I woke up... 

Bethany: 

Get... more?

Jeszika: 

I wanted him again, B... I wanted to sleep with him again when I woke up that morning... I enjoyed it.... 

_{Tears well up in her eyes.} 

<sub>Jeszika:

All of it...</sub>

_{Bethany stands up, nodding slowly.} 

Bethany: 

Has he explained what happened to the rest of us yet?

Jeszika: 

As far as I know, nothing. You guys just coma'ed out on the couch. The only one he had in that room was me. 

_{Bethany nods and then hugs her.} 

Bethany: 

How are you? 

Jeszika: 

Confused... I don't know what I'm feeling... I like girls, B, not guys! But strangely... Turned on by his words... Thinking of what he did to me... 

_{She looks B dead in the eyes.} 

Jeszika: 

I feel dirty and like a fucking whore... But... I like it...

Bethany: 

Me too... 

_{Jeszika frowns.} 

Jeszika: 

You.. too?

_{Nodding, Bethany looks down in shame.} 

Bethany: 

Night before we went to the show... 

_{She pauses, her teeth rattling from the fear.} 

Bethany: 

We went out, Nik, Ash and me... 

_{Jeszika nods understnading.} 

Jeszika: 

You and Carrie? 

_{Bethany nods.} 

Bethany: 

Nik didn't even drink that night, she wanted to be able talk with Richie and Ash ran off to find that drug guy and came back with some really kick ass coke... and Carrie and I both had some before Ashley went off with the druggie guy. Carrie and I shared a whole vial... got really drunk...and then I spent the night in her room... 

Jeszika: 

Look at us both, confused about our sexuality, you doing girls and me doing guys. What a pair we make... 

_{Jeszika rakes her hands through her hair.} 

Jeszika: 

Oh god... what do I tell Melissa? How will she understand this?

Bethany: 

What have you told her so far? 

Jeszika: 

She only knows I've slept with a guy from work. She doesn't know of him giving me his number or calling him. I... How do I tell her? I mean I know we're not together yet... But how... 

_{She shakes her head.} 

Jeszika: 

Maybe this is why I never let myself get tied up into a relationship...

_{Bethany hugs her again.} 

Bethany: 

I wonder if that's me too... 

Jeszika: 

Possibly... what do we do B? I wouldn't say Brody's following my heart here. If I was to follow my heart, it leads straight to Melissa, I think but If I follow my body... Right now its telling me to call Brody back and meet him sooner than after Tragic Engagement... 

_{She looks up at Bethany.} 

_Jeszika: 

_{Am I a whore, B? For feeling that way?}

_{Bethany shakes her head.} 

Bethany: 

No, you're not a whore, Jezzy. 

Jeszika: 

But I'm wanting to sleep with a guy I don't love. 

_{Bethany shakes her head.} 

_{Bethany:
No, you're not...} 

Jeszika: 

Then what am I, B? One night stands are one thing... but wanting to go back for more a second time when love isn't a factor... What is that, B? What does that make me?

Bethany: 

Somebody who's not sure what she really wants.

Jeszika: 

I... Your right... 

_{She looks down} 

Jeszika:
Please, don't tell the others, not yet. I don't think they would understand

Bethany nods slowly. 

Bethany: 

I didn't tell them about Carrie yet either.

_{Jeszika shakes her head.} 

Jeszika: 

I wouldn't do that to you, B. Your secret's safe with me. 

_{Bethany nods gratefully.} 

Bethany: 

I don't know what to do either... 

_{Shaking her head, Bethany sighs heavily.}

Bethany: 

She told me I could call her and I haven't yet. It was almost Reno all over again except there wasn't the early morning after talk about why it wasn't going to happen again like... with us... 

Jeszika: 

Yeah... like us... 

_{She pauses for a moment.} 

Jeszika: 

You know the next show's in Reno, right?

_{Bethany nods.} 

Bethany: 

Yeah... I haven't been back since then. It was too... 

_{Squeezing her hands, Bethany bites her bottom lip.} 

Bethany: 

I was too ashamed and too confused about what happened with us there. And now with Carrie and Brody and it being so close to Vegas and... 

Jeszika: 

What happened between us... 

_{Jeszika looks away and smiles.} 

Jeszika: 

You were amazing, B. If you do go with Carrie, B, you're going to make her a very happy woman. I have no hard feelings there. What happened, happened, nothing we can do about it.

_{Bethany nods ashamedly.} 

Bethany: 

I'm sorry I wouldn't admit I liked it... or that I would have wanted more at the time... 

_{Jeszika blushes a little.} 

Jeszika: 

Me too. 

_{Bethany smiles gratefully.}

Bethany: 

What do you think I should do about Carrie? 

Jeszika: 

Go to her, tell her how you feel. She's a nice girl, B. She'll help you through this. 

_{Jeszika sits down on the edge of the bed.} 

Jeszika: 

Me on the other hand... Thanks to Brody, I'm feeling a little... peckish. Might have to hit the bar myself and see if I can find someone to scratch the itch for me.

_{Bethany chuckles for a second before shrugging, a wild thought entering her head.} 

Bethany: 

You could always show me how to please her. Not have to worry about whether you've stumbled into another situation. 

_{Jeszika frowns looking shocked.} 

Jeszika: 

You want... us to sleep together again? I can't say I don't want to but... won't that make things awkward between us again? 

_{Bethany shrugs.} 

Bethany: 

I want you to teach me... 

Jeszika: 

Ok, I will. 

_{She smiles a little.} 

_{Jeszika:
How much do you already know?} 

_{Bethany shrugs, shaking her head.} 

Bethany: 

Honestly... I've never done it sober before so... I don't remember a lot.. 

Jeszika: 

That's true. Well.... 

_{She pats the bed next to her.} 

_{Jeszika:
Come sit, and learn.} 

_{Bethany nods, sitting down next to her.} 

Bethany: 

Thank you for this, Jezzy Belle... 

Jeszika: 

Your welcome B. Now... 

_{She brushes a stray piece of hair of Bethany's face.} 

Jeszika: 

With a woman, its best to start of gentle, a slight caress here, a soft touch there... 

_{She runs her hand gentle down Bethany's arm, and then traces is across her chest, her fingers skimming just across the top of her breasts.} 

Jeszika: 

A light A gentle kiss, a brush of lips on lips... 

_{She does exactly that, laying a gentle kiss in Bethany's lips.} 

Jeszika: 

You guage what she wants by her reaction, what she does as you touch certain places... 

_{Her hand traces down Bethany's stomach, staying on top of her clothes as that hand then traces along Beth's thigh. first one side, then the other.} 

_Jeszika: 

_{The art of tease is good here, you let hands travel close... yet not going exactly where they want.all the while, raining kisses.... All... over her...} 

_{She kisses Bethany's jaw, then down her neck, down her chest. her other hand reachs up and cups Beth's breast in her hand, her thumb teasing as her lips and tongue tease at her neck.} 

_{Aroused, Bethany only manages to murmur out to her friend.} 

Bethany: 

Take me wherever you wanna go... 

_{Jeszika nods and continues the lesson all night long.} 

_{******************************************************}

_{The next time we see Jeszika she stands in front of a camera set up on the balcony of her house. She's dressed in track pants and a singlet, like she's been training, or is about it. Her hair is tied in a pony tail behind her head and she wears no make up.}

_{"So this week, at Tragic Engagement, I'm facing off with a man called DOnzig. A man who, as he claims it, has never fought a woman before, but then in the same sentence, admits to being a woman basher?"}

_{A look of disgust crosses her face.}

_{"Its guys like you that make me sick Donzig... Guys like you who seem to think its ok to beat on defenseless women, and a pregnant one at that. Well... I don't care who the in blue hell you are, but that fact alone warrents a bullet in my opinion... You know..."}

_{She pulls a small box out of her pobket.}

_{"There could well be a bullet in this here box with your name on it Mr Donzig."}

_{She smirks a little.}

_{"It's a good thing I'm not a defenseless woman then huh? SO you've never fought a woman who could hit you back? You see that puts you as a disadvantage somewhat. I've fought many men like you, put many down over the years too. I never had illusions that you would take it easy on me. If you think that, your fucken deluded. If I wanted men to take it easy on me, I wouldnt be in this business. If I wanted men to take it easy on me, I wouldnt have trained with my brothers growing up. I wouldnt have gone to every dojo I could find in New Orleans training with the boys, honing my craft, in not just wrestling, but Judo, Capeoira, Kickboxing, Ju Jitsu, Krav Mall. Truth be told, I'm probably more adaptable and better equipt for any situation in that ring than you, so don't go telling me I don't want you to fight me with all you have cos god damn it, I want nothing less from you Donzig."}

her frustration is now evident on her face.

_{"And Donzig... Size has nothing to do with it. I've downed men bigger than you before and I'd gladly do it again just to wiped that fucken smug look off your god damned face. Speed and skills can out match strength easilly when used right. You'll see Donzig, I will show you and everyone else that I am not a bitch to be underestimated."}

_{The Camera cuts out, leaving us staring at blackness.}
