Soap Opera "As The Mouse Moves" - Wednesday June 26th 2002
Starlene hung up her cell phone and walked from the hallway back into the living room towards her sister Tiffany.
"Who was that Starlene?" Tiffany asked already having a good idea after having overheard most of the conversation.
"It was Megollo," Starlene said walking into the living room. She took a seat on the sofa next to her sister.  She bent down and started to put on her strappy high heels that she had just kicked off after coming home from an evening with Stanley.
"What did he want?" Tiffany asked suspiciously.
"He wanted me to let him come up, he's parked out there," Starlene said pointing to the window.
"Did you see him out of the window?" having watched her sister walk to the window earlier with the cell phone.
"Yeah, go look. He's right out there," Starlene said watching Tiffany get up and walk towards the window overlooking Washington Square Park. Tiffany gently pulled the sheer drapes back and glanced out of the window to the curbside below.  She saw the long white limo and a handsome muscular young man.  She noticed the thick dark hair, expensive clothes, and gold chain just before he glanced up towards the window and flashed a broad smile.  She quickly let the sheer drapes fall and jumped back from the window.
"Starlene you can't go down there," Tiffany said as her heart raced.
"He's good looking isn't he?"
"Yes. But he works for Nicole's Father.  We've read in the newspapers a couple of times that her father is a suspected crime boss in Florida.  You can't get involved with this guy. Besides you're engaged to Stanley," Tiffany said shaking her head.
"But Stanley's been cheating with Nicole."
"Does that make it right for you to cheat with her Father's associate?"
"No.  I'm not planning on cheating. I just want to string him along a little until Stanley sets a date for our wedding," Starlene said pulling the straps of the sandals up on her heels.
"You aren't going down there are you?"
"I have to."
"No you don't."
"He said he'd wait there all night if I didn't come down."
"He'd go home sooner or later.  Let him wait."
"I'll just talk to him.  I'll tell him that I can't get involved. Maybe he took things the wrong way last night when I let him kiss me."
"Nicole said that you went to a room with him in the Plaza after you guys had drinks together."  Tiffany's eyes narrowed as she watched Starlene pulling her sweater down in the front to show more of her voluptuous cleavage.
"You know I didn't do that," Starlene said taking her lip-gloss from her purse and quickly applying more of the peach color to her full well glossed lips.
"You didn't let him get his way with you?" Tiffany asked.
"No, Tiffany.  I'm not like that," she said running her hand through her long blonde hair then picking up her purse from the chair.
"Starlene this could be very dangerous."
"Well, do you think I should let him come up here to talk?"
"No."
"Then I'll be right down there.  What could possibly happen?" she asked.
Tiffany watched her young sister as her hips swayed in the short skirt and her stiletto heels echoed on the hardwood floor as she walked towards the front door to leave.
