Not so much bad writer's block anymore, but not so much to write either. This is what I have, hope you are amused. Please R&R!
"Speak" Achilles started
"It's nice to hear from you too"
"You know I'm not a morning person"
"Anyways I have another one for you, sending it over now. Look this one has special instructions"
"Don't they all?"
"A great way to start the day"
Briseis got up started to get dressed. She heard Achilles talking in the kitchen and quietly started to sneak out.
"No this one's really specific. You see-"
Achilles was distracted as he saw Briseis fully clothed start heading for the door.
"Where are you going?" he asked
"I'm late for work" Briseis answered
"Work? Where do you work now?"
"Same place"
Achilles was thinking back to where Briseis had previously worked.
"Don't tell me you're still working there!"
"Don't be such a baby about it"
"You're not working at the art school again are you?"
"I work there during daytime hours, it's with a bunch of graduate students and they're all professional about it. And no your cousin hasn't seen me since that night"
"You can't work there!"
"And why the hell not?"
"Because, you can't!"
"That's really not a valid reason"
"I don't want you to go"
"I'll be gone a few hours"
"No that's not what I meant. I don't want other guys looking at you, ogling you. God no. You don't have to work anyways"
"I'm not staying home playing Sandra Lee for you, cooking and cleaning this place. I have a life and intend on living it"
"Couldn't you be a parts model instead?"
"I'm not a girl that's in constant need of being rescued you know? "
"You don't have to work, you don't have to do any of this. You know I make enough"
"No. I don't want to depend on you for everything."
"Why not?"
"I don't want to talk about this. I'm going to be late"
"Briseis," Achilles reached out and grabbed onto her arm, "We need to talk"
"I think your handler wants to talk to you" Briseis answered back
Odysseus was yelling over the phone for Achilles to respond. Achilles attention was diverted for a moment to Odysseus yelling.
"I'll call you back" Achilles hung up the phone and looked back at Briseis.
