ChinaDoll nightclub, London.

Suzi laughs

Suzi: Probably not with our..... older patrons..... but anyone under the age of sixty sure..... Self defence always appeals to the female demographic.... plus you can grab the interest of the dancers..... yeah.... I think you're gonna have a pretty long waiting list.....

Nathalie: Well...here's hoping.

They arrive at the house...

Nathalie: Well, here it is. What do you think?

Suzi: Wow.... you weren't kidding.... you are close.... and I know how expensive property is around here.....

Nathalie: Is it really that high around here? I mean I know the houses are nice and all....

She unlocks the door...

Nathalie: Daniel, hon. We have company.

Daniel is reclining naked on the couch.

Daniel: Oh...... hey Suzi.....

He runs upstairs to find clother.

Suzi: Well.... aren't I getting an eyeful today.....

Nathalie: Oh....um...right. I forgot about that...

She looks back to Suzi, blushing...

Nathalie: Um....so how about that really strong drink?

Suzi: I think that's a... really.... good idea....

A voice from upstairs.

Daniel: ME TOO!

Nathalie walks Suzi into the kitchen and then to the bar area. She gets behind the bar...

Nathalie: What's your poison? I think....shots will be involved....heavily...

Suzi: Tequila!

.....ahem.....

please.

Two rather large shots of Sauza Diablo Silver are poured...

Nathalie: I like this one alot. Great Agave taste...with a hint of green apple and grapefruit. It...

Nathalie stops herself...

Nathalie: Sorry. I used to tend bar in New York and Japan...

Suzi: Sounds like you've had an adventure or two..... decided to give the whole settling down thing a shot huh?

Nathalie: Yeah. I've been traveling the world since I was...God, twenty. I figure it was time to try to find a great guy to settle down with. It's...been hard. No one's really wanted me before I met Daniel.

Suzi: Difficult to believe....

Nathalie downs her shot like a champ and pours herself another one...

Nathalie: Everyone keeps saying that...but...it was true.

Suzi downs her shot.

Suzi: Well... Danny always was smarter than the average male.

Nathalie pours her another one...

Nathalie: Yeah...he said something about getting out from under Shell when I met him. She seems.....clingy....

Suzi: You mean manipulative.... she's been using him for as long as I can remember.....

Nathalie: So you know the whole thing from college, right? What happened, exactly?

Suzi: I wasn't there from the beginning..... it was high school when it started.... had a crush on her since Junior high.... eventually plucked up the courage to actually ask her to senior prom.... she said yes, kept him on hold.... then turned up with the Captain of the Rugby team.... didn't talk about it much..... obviously made an impact though.... he was really shy with grils in College..... I don't think he spoke to me once in the first month we were living together.... it was cute.

Nathalie: That's a damn shame. He's so...nice. Ugh...I hate bitches that act like that.

She downs her next shot and pours another one...

Nathalie: I wish I would have found him sooner. It's kinda nice being around someone who didn't know who I was at first.

Suzi: Um.... why? .... who are you?

Nathalie: I'm Nathalie De Silva. I was the former Shimmer World Heavyweight Champion and I usually work as D.J. Rainbow Angel.

Suzi: Nope.... not ringing any bells..... sorry.....

Nathalie shrugs...

Nathalie: Ah, well. Doesn't matter now, I guess. So...how about you? I know Daniel mentioned that....and me and my blabber mouth...said that Johnathan had a crush on you. Any special person in your life?

Suzi: Nope.... nobody.... why? You have some handsome musclebound nephews you could hook me up with?

She laughs.
