Dinner guest

Deena stares at Roy a second longer than needed. Driving the point home that she realized how beautiful Charlotte was.

“Hey Charlotte, what a surprise....”

Deena cut off Roy abruptly “Yeah, Charlotte? Why would you happen to show up to our house this evening?”

Charlotte smiles awkwardly and responded with what almost seemed like embarrassment
“ Well, I wish I was um you know?”
The couple stared at the young twenty something.
“I am here um, here to talk to Mr. Dawson about keeping me past my internship. I don’t want to get fired and there is like no where hiring you know. A girl Like me, you know?”

Deena noticed her frustration and tried to ease the situation she had intensified “how about you join us for dinner Charlotte? I was just about to go pick up pasta from Leon’s down the street!”

Charlotte fidgeting and still looking nervous eyed you then your wife
“ if you don’t mind?”
Deena hugged her and then hugged you, then whispered in your ear.
“This girl sounds like one of those crazies, I figured we be nice then you can fire her if she loses her shit” Deena then walked to the door and put on her shoes
“See you two in a few! Call me if you guys want anything extra”
And Deena walked out the door leaving you alone with Charlotte.
