Brand New Moves

Violet was taking her sister and sister's boyfriend to the airport and then had plans on going to Rachel's to do Violet's hair again.

Nick is going to meet Steve at the office to go over a few things for the business. Nick has been distracted the last few days. Everything was busy again. The month of June was nearing its end and Philly had finally gotten used to the new normal.

When Nick pulls into the parking lot there is an unfamiliar vehicle in one of the spaces. He gets out, assuming it must be Steve's. On his way in he collects the mail. The door was already unlocked, "It must be Steve." Nick thought.

As he enters his office, he is busy looking through the various letters. He was so engrossed in sorting these bills, he didn't notice the other person, sitting on the couch in his office.

"Hello Nicholas." The cadence of the voice has more familuarity than the voice itself. He turns around and sees her leaning back on the couch.

"Sasha?! What?... How?... Who let you in?" Nick stammers, he was thrown off not just by her presence, but by her beauty. She was wearing an amazing form fitting white cocktail dress. Her hair and makeup were done to perfection.

"Steven let me in for our interview, he told me you were free today, so I came by, seeking work." Her smile was bright, and she spreads her legs, just enough to attract his attention to that area, then she crosses them, when she has his full attention. Sasha stands up, walks over to Nick, and puts her arms around his neck.

They hadn't been in such close proximity since before he started the business. Nick kisses Sasha. She kisses him back then steps away from him. She left him hanging in the air, wanting her.

"It's been so long since we last kissed, Nicholas." She shook her hips walking back to him and presses herself against him. "Since the last time we danced, I've learned some brand new moves." Sasha whispers in his ears. "I'd like to try them on you." Nick was hooked.

They got talking and she made some innuendos. Before long, he turns on the camera and begins the interview. They go through the normal round of questions, and she continues to make passes at Nick. Her seduction didn't end until he agrees to take her to the Rainbow Room.

When they were done, Nick takes Sasha back to the showers and leaves her to get his checkbook. Not finding it in his office he remembers they would be in Charlotte's desk.

As he writes out the check, he hears the fountain. The bubbling and light splashing. He pulls out his vape pen and smokes away his guilty conscience, before he signs over the usual amount to Sasha.

Sasha returns from freshening up and Nick gives her the check. She thanks him, kisses his cheek, and leaves. The whole time, he hears the flowing water of the fountain.

He hits his vape again and again.

It's now night time. Nick is fresh from a shower and sitting on the couch with his third drink, playing on his phone when Violet finally comes home. Pandora bounces around the kitchen, happy to see her, and also begging to be taken for a walk. No sooner does Violet close the door, but Pandora scratches at it.

"Nick, did you take Panni out today?"

"Huh?" Nick asks, uncaringly.

"Forget it. Mommy will take you out, won't she?" Violet puts on the dog's leash and takes her for a walk.

***

Violet returns with Pandora. The dog runs straight to an empty bowl, and looks up at Violet. Violet fills the water bowl and places it back in its spot. Pandora drinks like she's never had water before, lapping and lapping.

Violet takes off his hoodie and hangs it. She looks around to see Nick's glass on the table, empty. No Nick. The bedroom door now closed.

She kicks off her shoes and heads to the bedroom. When Violet arrives, she notices he is already asleep and snoring. Nick never even notices her purple hair. Violet fell asleep next to Nick in spite of his snoring, but when she did, it was with a feeling of being unfulfilled.

Late that night, Steve pours over the new video data he was sent, and begins editing. There is nearly an hour of footage to view, across 24 camera angles.

A day later, Steve finishes the video and releases it to the internet.
