"Sure, mate.Jess has my … digits."He looks at me."Listen, I'm tired from the flight, but I had to come to see for myself that you were here."He looks to Gaby."Gaby girl, do bank this cash in my office for Seary."Then he stands and nods his head to me."As usual, it has been an incredible evening in your company."

"Likewise, my old friend."

He kisses his palm, and I kiss mine, and this time we shake hands.He pats Aurei on the shoulder as he turns to walk away."You're the luckiest bloke in the world."

"Affirmative."Aurei agrees.

"Hooroo!"He says as he walks off.

Paul, Steve, and Scarlett look at the two of us.Paul speaks first."Vegas?"

"Yes.I'm a dancer in a club out there."

Scarlett slaps the table."Well, that fucking explains a lot!I've never seen anyone dance like you before."

Paul asks."Which club?"

"Been Jammin'."

Scarlett rolls her eyes."Fucking A!That's the premier nightclub out there!"

Steve asks."You're a celebrity?"

"No.I'm not a celebrity, but I've danced for some."

"This is so cool!I love Vegas!"Scarlett asks Paul."Have you ever been to Sin City?"She doesn't wait for his answer."I love it there.The gambling, the slots, the shows, the nightclubs!"He pulls her to him and kisses her to shut her up.

Steve looks at Aurei."Is that how you two really met?"

"No," Aurei says firmly."We met in the apartment building."

"But you saw her in Vegas?"Paul asks as he ends the kiss.

"Yes.I saw her dance there before we met here."

"When?"Steve asks.

"On my trip in November."

Paul smiles."Ok then.This didn't just happen.You checked her out."

Scarlett giggles."You're a celebrity!That's so fucking cool!"

I say again."I'm not a celebrity."

"Around here, you are!And what about that Aussie dude?He's hot!I'd do him!Gaby, have you done him?"

Gaby slides onto Steve's lap and says to Scarlett ."No, but isn't he fucking awesome?I just love his accent."

Steve rolls his eyes."He looks a little wormy to me."

She giggles."Not everyone can be the stud you are, Steve-o."He puts his hand on her ass.

Scarlett stands."Can I have a pic of us all?"

Steve and Gaby stand behind us.Paul and Scarlett sit on the floor in front of us.I sit curled up on Aurei's lap.She snaps the usie.

"Perfect.Thanks!"
