Bad Boy: “Hmm, sounds very good to me …”
Cowgirl: “U r tired from paddling?”
Bad Boy: “No, not really, didn’t go on the boat, had to prepare for filming
by two different TV stations.”
Cowgirl: “Ok, was thinking, I’d love to give ya a nice massage on ur head
and back.”
Bad Boy: “YEEEEEESSSSS?????”
Cowgirl: “When u lie between my legs, I can give nice head massage.”
Bad boy: “I want it all over …”
Cowgirl: “I am a bad, bad, bad girl!”
Bad Boy: “Never mind my head … oh, maybe the other one!”
Cowgirl: “Back scratch should be comfy.”
Bad Boy: “We know how bad you are, not badder than me though!”
Cowgirl: “Haha!”
Bad Boy: “I am the real bad, bad one … dirty mind, horny all the time …”
Cowgirl: “Thinking of you makes me horny now...”
Bad Boy: “You are getting to me too, playing the same movie in
my head, over and over …”
Cowgirl: “I don’t really want to become a juicy fruit right here in the office …”
Bad Boy: “That’s ok, but you’ll notice that you are becoming wet.”
Cowgirl: “What if I want to come?”
Bad Boy: “Go to the little girl’s room and just help yourself. You’re
also making me hard … thank God I’ve got a desk to hide it.”
Cowgirl: “Haha, this is totally bad, bad, bad!”
Bad Boy: “I think tomorrow we’ll both have a problem! When you
arrive, I need to do a room inspection FIRST THING, to make
sure you are satisfied with the service, facilities and all, but I
also have to be on time for dinner , so people don’t get
suspicious.”
Cowgirl: “Well, I’m not sure. How would that work?”
Bad Boy: “Wear something easy to remove, and put back on.”
Cowgirl: Haha, this is just bad, bad, bad, man! It’s summertime
anyway, things are easy to remove, … I’m soaking wet now,
baby!”
Bad Boy: “Want me come over???”
Cowgirl: “Yup.”
Bad Boy: “I love a wet girl …”
Cowgirl: “Na, I am a juicy fruit!”
Bad Boy: “Like to taste that juicy, sweet fruit … would u like that?”
Cowgirl: “Wet?”
Bad Boy: “Me tasting it?”
Cowgirl: “Sure I would love that”
Bad Boy: “Good! Did I tell you before that I cannot make babies
anymore? Got “clipped” after my second daughter was born.”
Cowgirl: “So?”
Bad Boy: “So I only shoot blank ammunition.”
Cowgirl: “I don’t mind! Haha, we are talking like we are going to do
something bad right now.”
Bad Boy: “That’s right, exactly, I am sooo ready! But, it’s not bad, it’s
something wonderful to enjoy. We need to do it slowly and take
our time …”
Cowgirl: “I have time, plenty of time; but we don’t have a venue?”
Bad Boy: “I love to touch, kiss and cuddle as long as possible. We can
meet in your room … remember? You need to do an in-depth
interview with this BAD BOY! I’ll call you when I can come to
your room and you just keep the door open, is your number still
xxx xxxxxxxx?”
Cowgirl: “Aren’t there monitors in the hotel? You’re not afraid people
will see u on the video? I don’t feel safe.”
Bad Boy: “Of course there are, but I’m wearing my hat, sunglasses,
bandana, and a pipe.”
Cowgirl: “Haha, oh God, u r cute, man!”
Bad Boy: “Don’t worry, I run this place. Nobody will disturb us.”
Cowgirl: “But I feel …”
Bad Boy: “You are sitting at my table tomorrow, can’t wait to be close
to you.”
Cowgirl: “You have the seating arrangement? Am I right next to you
darling? Now I’m nervous, when it’s really coming to reality …”
Bad Boy: “I told May that you are the only one I know and the only one
who speaks English, so yeah, probably …”
Cowgirl: “What shall I wear to impress you?”
Bad Boy: “You impress me wearing absolutely NOTHING, but not there.
My little secretary will probably sit next to me, too …”
Cowgirl: “Little? I’m not sure I met her?”
Bad Boy: “She’s short, on the plump side and just out of college. Not my
taste though, if u know what I mean? I like strong, intelligent,
cuddly and sexy women …”
Cowgirl: “U r telling me I’m your type?”
Bad Boy: “Wouldn’t do this if you weren’t my type. I am VERY selective
and haven’t had a lover in years, just fell for you when we met
last year, I guess, but didn’t want to push it. Wasn’t sure if you
wanted it?”
Cowgirl: “Well, I had a crush on u and didn’t dare even mention it, and u
asked if u could drop by when visiting Shanghai and have a
drink, but we never did.”
Bad Boy: “True – I was never alone.”
Cowgirl: “So, can I be your little secret lover?”
Bad Boy: “Sure can … I like that!”
Cowgirl: “What does a lover need to do?”
Bad Boy: “I don’t want you to do something you feel awkward about …
you always need two to tango!”
Cowgirl: “We’ll do whatever I feel like doing: think about u, dream
about u, talk to u in my mind, picture your strong arms holding
me tight.”
Bad Boy: “… and I’ll always honor your wishes.”
Cowgirl: “I do think u r strong enough to be my man!”
Bad Boy: “Are you strong enough to be “just a little lover”?”
Cowgirl: “I am definitely strong enough to be your woman!”
Bad Boy: “Women ALWAYS has to pull the short end of the stick …
and you know my situation here. But yes, I’d like u to be my
woman. Gotta run, will talk again when the coast is clear …”
