The Spider and the Fly

The sound of the back door of the theatre sliding open and the warm feminine voice of Adele alerting all the patrons of the morning session that the completion of the screening was close, and to please prepare for departure, caused all the occupants of the theatre to return abruptly to reality.. Pairing back off in their original groups, and each returning to their seats hurried themselves to dress and clean themselves up as much as possible as in small, excited exchanges they discussed the events of the morning.. All that is except for Sophia who still coming to grips with how her morning had played out slowly smoothed out her dress and jacket while using wet wipes she carried in her handbag to wipe away the residue of the Arthur and Jake from her face while attempting to fix her makeup.. Sitting awkwardly on the seat she glanced at Natasha as she poured her athletic body in to the tight form fitting outfit she had come in stopping briefly to give Sophia a reassuring smile before moving to her side and offering her hand in assistance.. Sophia’s initial reaction to swat away her hand came up short as she detected her legs were still not completely responding to her brains commands.. And so, taking Natasha’s strong firm hand the pair joined the end of the procession from the theatre and walked out into the glare of the Midday sun that streamed in through the glass doors of the entry to the cinema’s foyer.. As the four groups peeled off into their own clusters the quick departure of Arthur and Gia drew longing glances from Candice and Jerome who after only exchanging brief eye contact had their gaze ripped away as Arthur in a hurry to leave wrapped his arm around Gia leading her in a hurried pace to the door..

(Gia) Mr Paterson do we really need to leave in such a hurry??.. I mean….
Cutting her off Arthur pulled Gia tightly against him in an overbearing manner as he whispered sternly at her..
(Arthur) Gia!.. We have already spoken about this.. The limo is picking us up at 12.10pm sharp, and we need to be on the kerb ready to get straight in.. I can’t be in a position where I can be interrogated by reporters if there are any around..
(Gia) Yes.. Sorry.. I understand, it’s just..
(Arthur) Just what Gia??.. Do I need to remind you who your employer is??.. Who buys your clothes, your car, your apartment.. Just because you have had your fist up some bitch’s ass all morning doesn’t make her your new best friend.. especially seeing her “Puta” girlfriend was giving me the stink eye all morning.. Now.. (Drawing a deep breath) (and regaining his composure) Let’s not speak of this anymore and get you home.. I need to get the stink of that “Boy” off your pristine body..
(Gia)(Shocked) What??.. What do you mean stink??..
(Arthur)(Stern Look) There is a reason while I build all the cheaper project apartments all in the same area.. His type needs to know his place and stay there.. Understand??..
(Gia) But.. But he came with the lady.. And you didn’t seem to mind her company..
(Arthur) (annoyed tone) This isn’t about me Gia.. Don’t forget that.. Ms Candi just needs some adjustments to her attitude to who she associates with.. And I am the perfect person to assist with her re-education.. (Sly smile)..

Andrea having been radio silent on the phone as per the requirements of attendance to the special screening had moved to a quiet side of the foyer with Nadia to check her messages.. Powering up the smartphone a stream of audible dings greeted the pair as the phone alerted its owner of messages that had been sent but not received while the phone had been in its locked out state..
(Andrea) Oh my.. Well, Arn’t I popular.. (Giggle).. Who is it that has been so desperate to contact me??..
Looking at the message screen a consistent name against each brief but agitated message made Andrea roll her eyes in frustration.. “Miranda”.. I should have known!!..
(Nadia) What the hell does that bitch want.. Damn that jealous slut.. She knew that you were taking me here this morning and that retard is just all bent out of shape about it.. (Annoyed tone)..
(Andrea) Nadia.. Hey, hang on.. Don’t be like that Ok.. Your only here now because of her and don’t you forget that.. Miranda has her flaws, but you owe her at least the respect that it was here that brought you into S.A.C.K.S..
(Gia) (Snort) Yeah.. Well.. That.. doesn’t.. (Voice trailing off grumbling)..
(Andrea)(thinking) Well she has been persistent that’s for sure.. She knows that phones in the theatre during a screening isn’t allowed.. Damn girl.. I am going to have to call her back as she obviously isn’t going to give up..
(Speaking) Nadia honey I’m going to need to call her ok.. It must be urgent as she knows I wasn’t able to take calls this morning.. Give me a moment ok and then we can get going.. We still have the rest of the day.. I will make it up to you Ok Kitten.. (Warm sexy tone)..

Emerging from the corridor to the private screening theatre on still shaky legs Sophia with a degree of discomfort from her tender ass shuffled out into the brightness of the afternoon sun illuminated foyer.. Her ears still acutely tuned to her surrounds from the deprivation of being blindfolded throughout the morning squinted her eyes and gave a small shake of her head as Natasha turning to face her lead her through the doorway..
(Sophia) Well aren’t you quite the gentleman.. (Amused sarcastic tone)..
(Natasha) Oh are we still going through the motions of the male/ female roles of our date??.. (Grin)..
(Sophia)(smart ass tone) Well a lady would usually be asked politely if she wanted her anus fisted by a gentleman on a date.. (Grin).. But I don’t seem to remember being extended that courtesy.. (Mock annoyed look).. 
(Natasha) You’re really not going to let me forget this are you.. (Grin)..
(Sophia) Let’s just say you owe me big time ok.. they say.. (Trailing off)..
Hearing fractured parts of conversations around the foyer Sophia fell silent as a voice she knew belonged to Andrea spoke a name that Sophia immediately knew, but couldn’t believe it could be the same person..
(thinking) Miranda??.. Andrea just said Miranda had sent messages??.. It couldn’t be the same one.. could it?.. And this has been bothering me all morning, where on earth have I heard the name Andrea before?.. It was earlier today someone mentioned “Andrea”.. Amber??
(Natatsha) Hey!.. Hey!!.. Sophia!!!.. Is everything ok??
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Page 006

(Sophia)(Flustered) Yeah.. Umm.. I just thought of something.. But.. No, it’s ok.. It does remind me though, I do need to speak to you about something urgent..
(Natasha) Urgent?.. Is everything ok??
(Sophia) Oh.. Nothing bad.. (Under her breath) I hope!.. Um.. Just something you probably need to be aware of is all..
The presence of the ticket clerk walking up to them both drew Natasha’s attention away as she indicated with her finger she needed a moment to talk to the old man..
(Bert) Miss Natasha I trust your morning was satisfactory..
(Natasha) Bert as always the Odeon does not disappoint..
(Bert) (Turning to Sophia) Ahh that is wonderful, And what of your beautiful guest.. My lady was your morning to your taste??.
(Sophia) (Eyeing Natasha as she responded) Yes.. Yes it was most enlightening thank you, but..
(Bert)(Shocked) “But”.. Madam?? (Raised eyebrow)
(Sophia) Well you see it was my seat.. I think you should get it looked at.. It felt like I was sitting on something fist sized the entire performance.. (Smirk at Natasha)
(Bert) Oh!.. I see.. My apologies madam.. I will of course get that rectified as soon as possible..
Natasha concealing a smile turned her attention back to Bert and continued talking to him as movement from the foyer caught Sophia’s attention.. Candi Quinn, Jake, and Jerome all standing looking in her direction.. Sophia unsure of what to do raised her hand to wave thinking they were waiting for her before they departed..
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Page 007

Giving a small discreet wave back and then making the universal hand sign for a phone call with her fingers simulating a handset, Candi silently mouthed the words “Will Call you” before blowing her a kiss and turning her attention back to the boys..
(Candi) Well that was a different morning to what I had thought guys..
(Jerome) Damn straight Candi-girl Jake and I didn’t see that shit coming either.. (Grin).
(Candi) (Mock hurt tone) But I noticed you didn’t miss your Candi with the little skinny young treat you were given.. (Pout)... and you Jake.. All that cream filling wasted on another mouth.. and here was little me thinking you boys were taking me out for a treat.. (Smirk)..
(Jerome) Well Candi-girl as it happens my boy Jake and I ain’t got shit planned for the rest of the day.. (grin).. How bout we make an afternoon of it huh..??
(Jake) Yeah baby girl.. Like my boy said.. We can goes back to your crib and we will show you what black young cock can do instead of that wrinkled old one you was sitting on in the theatre..
(Candi) Oh you boys are just so attentive.. I could blush.. But I have another idea..
(Jerome) What Candi-Girl.. You don’t want to go back to yours??.. We’s can always go somewhere else..
(Candi) No.. Jerome I don’t want to go back to mine.. I want to go back to yours.. (Sexy smile).. And how about you call a few more wolves to drop by and we will make a proper afternoon of it..
(Jerome) Damn girl you never get enough huh.. Jake.. Ring the boys.. Tell them we are bringing a sweet Candi desert back with us.. (Devious smile).. 
(Candi) Oh Jerome!!.. (Grin).. I hope there is enough sweets to go around.. (Sexy look)
(Jake) You leave that to us.. We be making sure every brotha gets a taste.. (Smirk)..  
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sophia left wondering and concerned about Candi’s intention to call her nagged at the back of her mind as she remembered back from their meeting when she first arrived and the not so veiled undertone of her comments about the two of them becoming closer friends.. Concerning her greatly was the fact that both she and Candi had knowledge of the others secret alternate lifestyles.. Turning her attention back to Natasha and Bert Sophia silently listened without speaking to the two finish their conversation.. 
(Natasha) Yes Bert exactly.. Its good to see that the invitational sessions are successful, but I still think there needs to be more care around the issuing of the invites..
(Bert) Yes I agree Miss Natasha, but its not me who makes the lists.. Mr Richards and his wife Nancy have all the connections for the people that they consider suitable.. They vet all the applications based on the criteria they set..
(Natasha) Ok Bert.. Look I will speak to Russel about this more don’t worry.. But I have concerns when he starts sending invites to the likes of Arthur Paterson.. I know the two of them have business and real estate holdings together, but he is mixing a dangerous cocktail of business and pleasure that could seriously blow up in his face.. Leave it with me ok..
(Bert) Of course Miss Natasha.. You’re the boss.. (Warm Smile)..
(Natasha) I only own the building Bert.. You are the heart and soul of the Odeon.. (Smile)..    
(Sophia)(Thinking) What the hell??.. Russel and Nancy Richards??? That cant be the same Russel and Nancy I know??.. Coincidence??..

Meanwhile Andrea hitting the call back button on her phone waited patiently while the call tone rung on the other end waiting to be picked up..
(Miranda) Well you took your time!!.. Its just as well I wasn’t bleeding out in a ditch somewhere huh!!.. (Annoyed tone)..
(Andrea) Yes Hello Miranda.. I’m very happy to hear from you too..(Sarcastic tone).. To what do I owe the privilege of all these messages..
(Miranda) Let’s not forget about who your number one girl is ok Andrea.. Your little Society would be nothing without me and don’t forget it.. (Direct tone)..
(Andrea)(Sigh) Miranda.. Can we start again please.. You knew I wasn’t contactable this morning till now.. I got your messages and I’m calling you back.. So, what’s so urgent??
(Miranda)(Settling down) Ok.. I have gossip and a new lead you’re going to want to know about.. 
(Andrea)(interested) Ok.. You have got my attention Kitten..
(Miranda) Good, ok you remember the teacher at school I was telling you about right.. Well as it happens she is not a squeaky clean as she makes out..
(Andrea) Ok.. Not unusual that she may have some secrets??..
(Miranda) Yeah, but what if those secrets involved her and the whole senior boy’s soccer team??.. and her own son!!.. But wait there’s more.. It’s not just her.. I was around there this morning and I see this other blonde short haired woman messing around with the boys as well.. It looked to me like this was party central and these two were the star attractions.. (Satisfied smile)..
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Page 010

(Andrea) (peaked interest) Ok.. That is a bit more than a standard secret..
(Miranda) And what If I was to tell you she is also the wife of a rich businessman, and also has a hot cheerleader daughter who goes to West hills High..
(Andrea) Ok this does sound better by the minute Kitten but how does that affect me??
(Miranda) Well as it happens the teacher in question knows I know.. I busted her in the act so to say and she came clean.. I have already organised that she is going to help me with the headmaster problem I have at school and I’m going to help her by being “Nice” to her son and raising his social profile at school.. Where you come in is I want you to invite her to the next SACKS meet and greet.. This woman is my ticket up the ladder and even though she doesn’t know it yet, she is going to be my personal sugar mommy..(Grin).. The family has the money, The husband has the job, the daughter has the school connection to where I want to go to ensure a proper scholarship to an ivy league college.. And the rest is all icing on top of what I’m sure will be a very decedent slice of cake for you..
(Andrea)(Thinking) Damn this girl is good.. 
(Speaking) Ok.. you have convinced me Kitten.. Who is this Woman anyway??
(Miranda) Her name is Sophia Parker.. Her husband is that fashion designer guy that just took over “Des tourtereaux fashion” in the city..
(Andrea) Parker..hhmmm.. Sophia Parker huh.. Nah can’t say I know her or have seen her.. Do you have any photos..
(Miranda) No.. I do have her blonde friend’s pic but none of her.. I will try and get one for you..
(Andrea) Ok Kitten.. Keep me posted ok, Oh.. and good work.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hanging up the phone as the slim theatre attendant walked past her towards Natasha and Sophia, Andrea smiled down to Nadia standing beside her before giving her a wink and taking her arm.. 
(Andrea) Come on Nadia.. I don’t know about you, but I could do with a bite to eat and a nice cold tall glass of Pinot Grigio..
(Nadia) Cool.. (Smile).. Your treat right.. (Grin)..
(Andrea)(Mock eyeroll) Isn’t it always Kitten.. (Smirk)..
(Nadia) Yes.. But I will buy desert ok..
(Andrea)(devious smile) Kitten.. You are desert.. (Sexy smile)..
Bert having been called away had left Natasha with her guest and making a mental note to himself he remembered that he needed to call his maintenance guy to look at the seats in the small screening room, fist sized lumps in the seats were unacceptable in the Odeon Theatre.. 
(Sophia)(Jovial) No, No No.. Your not going to get away with that.. you said.. (Her voice trailing off)
(Adele) Miss Natasha, forgive me for interrupting but I have had a message for you arrive marked very urgent..
Natasha turning her attention To Adele gave her a knowing look as there were only a very small number of people that knew where she was going to be..
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Page 012

(Natasha) That’s fine Adele.. What was the message please..
(Adele) Umm, a Miss Peregrine said that your car had been dropped off in the alley behind the theatre and that your personal transponder had been programmed as an access key??.. Sorry I don’t know what any of that means but the lady on the phone said you would??..
(Natasha) Yes, that’s fine Adele.. Miss Peregrine is as efficient as always.. (Smile)..
(Sophia) Miss Peregrine.. You mean Miss Poppins don’t you.. (Smirk)..
Turning to look in Sophia’s direction a cheeky smile appeared on Natasha’s face as she noted that Sophia was returning to her old rebellious ways..
(Natasha) It would seem you are feeling more yourself swallow.. (Sexy smile).. Just remember that the day if it ever comes where you need to be somewhere quickly.. or more to the point away from somewhere quickly.. That day our quirky little British Peregrine will be your best friend.. (grin)..
(Sophia) Funny you say that as the way she was talking when she brought me here this morning she was all in on giving me oral lessons.. I think her words were that she was going to teach me to be a cunning linguist.. (Smirk).. Maybe you have some competition “Raven”.. (Sexy smile)..
(Natasha) (Small laugh) And she’s back!!.. Haha.. Here is the Lioness we have come to love so much.. (Smirk).. I think I will have to bring this up at out next staff meeting and lay down some rules of engagement..
(Sophia) Oh.. Engagement.. And this is only our first date.. (Smile).. Very presumptuous of you if I might say.. (Mock British Accent)..
(Natasha) Very Indeed (Smile).. I think its time we left.. We still have many things to “Discuss”..
