123- Long-Lost Buddies

"Don't remember me, baby? It's not even a month since we had such a good time at your place," Marissa didn't want to be judgmental, but the way Gerard was acting, it was clear that he wanted to hide it.

He knew this girl.

"I … I think…" he chuckled awkwardly, "you are mixing me with someone."

"No, I'm not," she brought her face near his and grinned like she was enjoying his discomfort, "You told me, your name is Simon, but I saw your ID. It was Gerard," she then turned to look at Marissa and winked, "Am I right, baby girl?"

She asked for confirmation and Marissa could only nod and then started sipping her soup. Poor Gerard might be looking for ways to get rid of the girl and Marissa was sure that she wouldn't go away unless Gerard paid her handsomely.
