DG poured the contents of the pot into the strainer as Cain entered the apartment. He gave her a nod and passed over the small container of milk, which she took and set down next to the sink.
"Thanks. Should be ready in a few minutes," she said with a nod to the pot. Cain nodded and held out a small card for DG. "What’s this?" she asked as she set the pot down and reached for the card.
"No idea," Cain stated. "A woman cornered me downstairs and started asking me if I had any thought on a new career." He made a face and DG laughed. "What?" Cain asked with a frown.
She turned the card toward him and smiled. "You've been discovered."
Cain's eyes went wide and his hands went up. "No, only Simon-"
DG moved to the edge of the counter and put up a hand. "No, Cain. I didn't mean... Sorry." DG laughed, still entertained that the simplest phrase could be taken in such a different way by Cain. "It's a Hollywood-thing." She held the card up again. "For the movies. You've got it."
"Got what?" Cain asked, still not following.
DG shrugged and moved back to the sink and the pot. "It. The look."
"What look?" DG dumped the noodles back into the pot and turned back to the stovetop.
"The look that drives all the girls wild," she said dramatically. Cain made that face. "Not that look," DG said with a snort. "The look that, when you're walking down the street, makes all the girls picture you naked," she said with a nod. Cain raised an eyebrow, but DG didn’t notice.
"Actually... around here, the boys are probably picturing you naked, too," she added with a shrug and reached for the milk. Cain shook his head and moved toward the bathroom. He'd just gotten home from work and was in desperate need of a shower, but DG had caught him in the doorway because there was no milk.
So he ran across the street to the grocery and then the blonde woman followed him across the street with her questions. Cain didn't know what she was talking about, let alone what to say, so he kept his answers short and nodded. She gave him the card and he headed back up the stairs.
Without thinking about it, Cain pulled his shirt off and stepped back into the front room, pointing to DG with the shirt. "You don't picture me naked, right?" DG snorted and turned to look at him; her eyes went wide and she ducked back toward the stove.
"Well, I will now!" Cain grumbled and shook his head before heading back into the bathroom and shutting the door.
'Wow!' DG mouthed as she returned her focus to the pot of macaroni and cheese.

This was actually the second scene written after n_e_star directed me to the picture of Zooey. It doesn't actually fit anywhere. Believe me, I've been trying to place it for over a month.
Anyway... HAPPY BIRTHDAY gatechic!! :)
