Smitten: New Actress

Smitten: New Actress
 
     “Rowena, a new girl will make an appearance on our show. She will be a love interest for my junior partner in the fictional insurance company. Don’t worry your pretty little head but she wants me to show her the ropes in love scenes.”
     “Invite her over for the noon meal. At least I’ll be part of it when you do the lunch thing with her.”
     “Smashing idea sweetheart, be sure to fix your better than sex rhubarb pie.”
     “Now that you’ve introduced sex into this conversation with regards to the young lady I am a bit miffed.”
     “Oh, don’t go into a pout. Once she gets the hang of things I will fade out of my role as her mentor in love.”
     “Have you kissed her already?”
     “Well in a manner of speaking but just a peck on the lips.”
     “Did she react audibly? Your wife needs to know what you are up too.”
     “I’m just an elder actor guiding a blossoming young actress.”
     “Did she request your guidance? Or did you volunteer your services?”
     “She bemoaned her lack of experience to which I offered my help.”
     “You know matzo ball soup will be the entrée for our lunch date with her. Sweets might imply that I’m consenting to your off-camera romance. The best I can do is grin and bear it.”
     “You know honey she’ll have to watch you and me making out to learn how it’s done.”
     “She may say she needs hands-on direction.”
     “Her own hands are mandatory for homework.”
     “Please leave that for her to figure out.”
     “At her age solo rehearsals are a given.”
     Ro asks, “Do you think she practices in front of a mirror?”
      “That wouldn’t surprise me at all.”
     “Is that because she is beautiful compared to me with my love handles?”
     “She strikes me as a Narcissus type.”
     “Hopefully the looking glass will be kind to me as the years pass.”
     “If any but beauty is reflected I’ll sue for libel.”
