Gina
“Ah, what makes you think I will just tell you what I want?” I asked Zander.
“So you want to be mysterious and a challenge.” Zander said to me.
“No, just being ambitious. Sometimes it is best not to play all your cards at once.” I told him.
“Why Gina, are you trying to flirt with me?” Zander suddenly asked.
“Oh, if I was flirting with you, you would know it.” I laughed at him.
“I see.” He said moving closer to me and talked low so only I could hear, “Sometimes playing out your cards at once can be very beneficial. You never know when you have the golden opportunity.”
I pulled back my head to look at him. He had this very serious look on his face. So I leaned in to him and spoke low so only he could hear me.
“I’m not that easy, you can’t get into my pants just like that. Your girlfriend just left and I am not that girl.” I said to him, getting up.
I turned to the others at the table and said, “It is getting late, I’m going to get going. Great night girls.” I said to them.
I walked away from the table, pulling out my phone to order a ride back to my place. Just as I got to the exit of The House of Blues, I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned, and saw Zander.
“I’m not trying to get into your pants. I’m sorry it came off that way. I’m not used to being around a woman who actually knows more than what the current fashion style is. I’m sorry.” He said to me.
“Hmm, well maybe stop hanging out with a model who thinks she better than everyone else will help you with us normal girls.” I told him.

Gina is a firecracker. Normally all I have to do is flash a smile and I got a girl swooning over me. Not Gina, she called me out.
Sure, the idea of going to bed with her is in the back of my head. There was something else that intrigued me about her. So I excused myself and went after her.
I wasn’t expecting what came out of her mouth. She summed Natalie up in that one sentence, but she also called herself normal.
“I would not say you are normal Gina, in the encounters I had with you, I think you are far from normal.” I said to her.
“What do you mean? I’m not a model, I like to actually eat food, I got student loans, so I’m in debt, I work for what I have, I rent an apartment, I got a dog, to me that sounds like a normal person.” I told him.
“No, that makes you extraordinary. Trust me, models are not always the best company. I would rather have a conversation with you than be photographed with ones like Natalie.” I told her.
“My car is coming, this conversation is becoming weird, you're trying to prove something to me and in all honesty, we don’t know each other more than a few times in passing.” Gina said.
“Very true, thanks for the drink.” I said to her. Time to drop the conversation.
“For what it is worth, you can do better than that model.” Gina said as she opened the door and left the restaurant.
I looked at the door Gina just left out of. Gina was definitely one of a kind. I went back to the table and only Sara was at the table.
“Where did the other two go?” I asked her.
“To the patio, to see who is playing there. They will be back. What is going on with you with Gina?” Sara asked.
“Nothing, just trying to figure her out.” I told my secretary.
“Zane, she is a good girl. She is a hard worker and honestly a great employee of yours. Don’t do anything stupid.” Sara said.
“You know, employees are not to talk to their boss that way.” I said, raising my eyebrow up at her.
“Well, right now you are not my boss, no one knows who you really are right now. So I can talk to you like that.” Sara said.
I smiled at her. This is why Sara is a great secretary for me.
When I got back to my penthouse, my phone was vibrating in my pocket. I pulled it out to see it was a message from Natalie.
N:| I forgive you. I need you.
I sighed and deleted the message. Time to end things with Natalie. She was fun for a while, but she doesn’t do it for me. Tonight showed me she definitely leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I didn’t go after her when she stormed off.
I slumped down on my couch and grabbed my laptop. I started looking up Gina Lombardi on social media. How normal is Gina really?
