The Edwards Family's Herfordshire Estate... Part 5

Sevral hours later.....

Daniel: Um.......... wow.......

Nathalie: Mmmmm.....ole....

Daniel looks over at Nathalie.

Daniel: Wait there..... don't move.

He pulls over an easel and canvas and starts painting a picture of Nathalie.

Nathalie: Oh...oh God...I must look a wreck! You don't want a picture of me like this, do you?

Daniel: You look beautiful...... I want a picture of you exactly like this......

Nathalie covers her face, her hair framing her beautiful face. She lays back, groaning...

Nathalie: I hope I don't make you want to quit drawing...

He walks over to her and repositions her hands.

Daniel: Women as perfect as you..... is the reason man started painting in the first place

Nathalie: Listen...if you have the hope diamond stashed somewhere and we're on a sinking boat....we really need to rethink this whole thing...

Daniel: Nope no diamonds...... just a somewhat decent artist in his crummy flat with a naked girl who should according to conventional thinking be miles out of his league

Nathalie: Oh, stop it. If anything....you're out of mine.

She lays a bit more naturally...

Nathalie: I...is this better?

Daniel: That's great.... try and relax just a little more..... lay your head down and get comfortable beautiful..... and point those stunning eyes my way.

He smiles.

Nathalie lays down and looks towards Daniel with 'come hither' eyes....

Nathalie: Your bed is sooooo....comfy....

Daniel laughs.

Daniel: Are you trying to distract me, temptress?

Nathalie bats her eyes slowly and smiles...

Nathalie: Who......me?

He looks her up and down and licks his lips.

Daniel: .....yes...... you.....

Nathalie: I'm...innocent, Dan-iel....totally innocent.

She yawns and pulls the covers over her...

Nathalie: Mmmm.....are you almost done.....cause....I'm not...

Daniel's phone rings...

Daniel: Hold that thought....

Daniel picks up the phone.

......Hello?

Voice: OI! DANIEL! It's Johnathan! Hey, the mates are wondering where you are. We're out at the pub if you want to drink with us. Besides....looks like Marlon and Julia are on again and off again...

Daniel rolls his eyes.

Daniel: Hey mate.... yeah sorry I've been absent..... I had a..... stroke of good luck recently.....

You want me to come out now?

He looks at Nathalie and chuckles......

..... I'm in the middle of..... doing something very..... very important right now.....

Johnathan: Oh....oh wait, are you with that girl from the club? I thought the date was over by.....OH! Right, right...

Daniel: Anyway..... send the guys my love...... but I am exactly where I want to be right now.

Nathalie smirks and crawls over to Daniel...slowly. She takes the phone...

Nathalie: Mmmm....hello?

Johnathan: Um...hi....um....

Nathalie: Johnathan, right? Could you do me a favor, hon? Could you tell Daniel that though his artwork is beautiful....his fingers should be doing...other things right now?

Johnathan: ....um.....y....y....um.........I think I just creamed my pants...

Nathalie laughs...

Daniel grabs the phone from Nathalie.

Daniel: So....... yeah........ bye..... I'll see you at some point...... maybe.....

He hangs up and joings Nathalie on the bed laughing.

Nathalie lays back laughing herself....

Nathalie: I don't think he was joking...
