My Imaginary Life 10
Jo sneezes. Shah notices her hair is still wet.
Shah: You’ll catch a cold if you remain like that. You must have been in the middle of a shower huh?
Jo: Yeah.
Shah: You should go back and change into some dry clothes then.
Jo: Um.. actually.. if it’s alright, I’d like to stay here a while longer.
Shah looks at Jo for a while.
Shah: Well ok, I’ll get you a towel. You should dry off at least… you can use my room.
Jo follows Shah into his room which is also filled with a bunch of candles lighting it just enough to see. Shah pulls out a fresh towel from the bottom of his closet. He hands it to her and makes his way to the bedroom door.
Jo: Um.. Shah?
Shah: Yeah?
Jo: Could you stay outside the door? And talk to me?
Shah pauses and smiles at Jo.
Shah: Sure.
He steps out and closes the door behind him. He sits down on the floor and leans against the door.
Jo: You’re a chef right? So why are you at home at this time? Don’t you have to be cooking people’s dinners or something right about now?
Shah: I work at a hotel’s main restaurant so I help prepare the breakfast buffet in the morning and then take orders for the a la carte lunch menu in the afternoon. Someone else takes over for dinner. I suppose I’m more of a cook than a chef. I finish work at about 4 or 5 o’ clock so I’m usually home by six. What about you? Come to think of it, you still haven’t mentioned what it is you work as.
Jo: Oh, I don’t want to bore you with that. So why do you have so many candles anyway?
Shah: Oh, just in case.
Jo: You have a hundred candles just in case of what?
Shah: In case there’s a blackout…
Jo: Riiight.
Shah: …or a girl I’m trying to seduce…
Jo opens the door suddenly and Shah falls backwards. He finds himself looking up at a smirking Jo.
Shah: …or both.
Jo kneels on the ground next to Shah’s head and leans over him.
Jo: I bet you say that to all the girls.
Shah: Only the ones I’m trying to seduce.
Jo’s face moves closer to Shah’s.
Jo: Are you really trying to seduce me?
Shah: Is it working?
Jo: Wouldn’t you like to know.
Shah’s handphone suddenly begins to ring. He clears his throat and quickly gets back on his feet. Jo stands up as well. Shah turns away from Jo and answers the phone.
Shah: Hello? *pause* Yeah, there’s a blackout here too. *pause* Maybe it’s the main power grid or something. *pause* Sure. I’ll call you later.
Shah hangs up.
Jo: Concerned friend?
Shah turns to Jo.
Shah: You could say that.
Shah pauses and takes a long hard look at Jo. She’s wearing on oversized set of men’s pyjamas. Jo notices Shah staring at her. She tugs at the pyjamas she’s wearing.
Jo: Oh. I hope you don’t mind. It’s the only thing I could find, plus it’s really comfortable. And besides, it looks much better on me, don’t you think?
Jo strikes a pose. Shah gulps hard.
