baby, can’t even remember where she works,” he sympathized giving her a hug.
“You’re a dick,” she laughed squeezing him tighter.
Letting her hold him for as long as she needed she finally looked up at him smiling. Giving her a kiss on the forehead they began making their way to work. Walking along Lily thought she recognized someone further down the street.
“Is that Ms. Johnson?” she asked placing her hand just above her eyes to get a better look.
Squinting he saw that it was. “What the hell is that old bitch doing up this early in the morning?”
Walking towards the doors of the apartment building she owned Ms. Johnson seemed to be carrying an arm full of papers. Her husband bought the building over forty years ago with some mid-size lottery money. When he died some years back Florida Johnson just kept on running it herself. Being in a favorable area the very old and well-kept building has turned into a nice retirement income. Renovating the building joining apartments together they became large enough to attract a lot of wealthy people who shell out large sums of their wealth just to live there. Being a regular at Sips she frequented the coffee shop throughout the day joining in on current tabloid gossip and all the local juicy stuff.
Lily thought she was close enough and yelled out, “Hello Ms. Johnson.”
Perking up Florida looked around and caught Lily and Todd walking up the street. “Lily,” she said cheerfully giving them a wave. “Hello Todd,” she said matching the cheeriness.
“Wonderful day,” he said.
“Don’t think the day has even started,” she replied with a chuckle.
“What are you doing up this early?” Lily asked lowering her voice as they approached.
“Have to show the apartment.”
“The big one on top?” he asked enviously.
“Mm-Hmm. Looking for something immediately.”
“It’s a bit early to look at apartments,” Lily suggested.
“A bit early for a lot of things child,” Florida said trying to put her papers in order.
Suddenly a police car flew down the street causing Florida and Lily to take notice.
Todd however was still looking up at the building. “The one for $5200 plus?”
“Todd,” Lily said smacking his arm for being rude.
“It’s listed,” he said defending himself.
Florida just laughed. “That’s the one.”
Whistling he looked up at the building again. “Single . . . family - what’s the scoop?”
“Todd,” she said slapping him again.
“Single, business owner – of what I don’t know but, sounded very gentlemen like,” she said smiling slyly at Lily.
“Yeah, gentlemen like,” Todd agreed raising his eyebrows making fun of her.
“That’s nice,” she said getting embarrassed.
“Please girl,” Florida said, “How long has it been?”
“Long time,” he answered for her, tattling like a snotty little kid.
“Mm-hmm,” Florida thought aloud.
“Hasn’t stalked her for weeks,” he tattled again while doing a little dance. This time Lily gave him an ‘I’m going to get you’ look.
“We women have needs Lily,” the older lady reminded her.
“Yeah,” Todd said holding his left hand up making a circle with his index finger and thumb. Then taking his right hand and using that index finger to go in and out of the circle.
Florida frowned and shook her head. “I meant companionship.”
“I thought that was companionship,” he said still running his finger in and out of the circle.
Lily slapped his hands, “Idiot.”
“What is wrong with you Todd Jacobson?”
He just shrugged when out of nowhere another police car flew down the street with its lights silently flashing.
“What the fuck is going on?” Todd asked finally taking notice of something other than the price of the loft and Lily’s sex life.
“Probably for that murder that took place last night,” Florida said shaking her head.
“Murder?” Lily asked in a gasping daze.
“That would be the second one in as many weeks,” Todd
