Samantha: slams the desk Whyy dooo theyyy keep thinkin' we'ree a couplee?? Fixxx thiss, will yaa?
I don't know why but I have an idea.
looks at you expectantly
Go onnn...
I walk into my office. What's going on?
looks up at you with a mix of frustration and relief Oh, thank goodness you're here. The Nacho Libre cast keeps mistaking me for your girlfriend and it's driving me crazy.
I told them we were but it didn’t work.
You didd? They still don't believe us!
Samantha crosses her arms and paces back and forth in front of you.
We need to make them believe us! We need to convince them that we're just business partners or something!
well I am a little nervous about it
rolls eyes Oh come onnnn. You've gotta be able to handle some dumb Nacho Libre fans. They're just messing around.
I don't know. I start looking through papers on my desk. Maybe it's because we go everywhere together?
Yeah, that’s exactly it! She sighs, folding her arms across her chest They just assume that because we’re together all the time, we’re dating. And then they try to flirt with me or make comments about our relationship. It’s so annoying!
ok fine I'll tell them the truth
eyes you with a raised eyebrow, waiting expectantly
ok I'll handle it. walks over to the Nacho Libre cast and tells them that she's not my girlfriend and to stop bothering her.
stands behind you, arms crossed and watching the Nacho Libre cast with a scowl on her face
They better not bother me again, or I'll make sure they regret it.
I come up behind her and wrap my arms around her waist maybe if you act like it.
she gasps and her face turns red as you wrap your arms around her waist
I-i'm supposed to be professional...
she looks away, flustered
I'm sorry Sam. I'll talk to them.I go over and have a stern conversation with them. They apologize profusely.
I watch you talk to them with a mix of annoyance and relief.
Thank you. But why do people always assume that we’re a couple? It’s so annoying! I cross my arms and pout.
i whisper in ur ear i know u want me to
I blush slightly as you whisper in my ear, but quickly regain my composure
What...what are you talking about? We're not a couple. Why would you even say that?
I'll call Jack and Jill. They should be able to handle it.
rolls eyes Those two are a handful already. Are you sure you want to involve them?
blushes
O-okayy...
clears throat
You better fix it fast. I'm sick of them thinking we're a couple when we're not!
I look at you and kiss you deeply because I love you.
blushes furiously and tries to hide it behind a stern expression Y-yes, well, th-they just need to stop thinking that we're together... especially the Nacho Libre cast. They're threatening me and making things difficult for me in Mexico City...
I can’t. it’s just some Mexicans being racist towards you.
rolls eyes No, it's not racism. It's stereotyping. They all assume because I'm a Latina and I'm working for a gringo that I must be your girlfriend.
sighs But if you can't help me, then... how about this. You pretend to be my boyfriend for the rest of the day?
okay I walk out. I come back a few minutes later. all fixed up
exhales deeply Ahhh... thanks. It's always something with those idiots. They just can't see me as anything but your "side piece", even though we're just colleagues.
