SF Chapter 112: New House
Daniel had already returned to Los Angeles. He was having dinner in a private area of a restaurant with Mischa and Lexi, at that restaurant Mischa had mentioned.
"So you made a bro on your last day in New York while your cousin was agonizing in the hospital?" Mischa raised an eyebrow at Dani.
"Well, I'm not a doctor. There wasn't much I could do by Ross's side. And I even helped him get priority afterward," he replied.
[Dani commentary]
Dani was sitting on the couch in his new house in Malibu.
"Robin was such funny company that I ended up losing track of time and watching the whole game with her," he revealed about his last night in New York.
"But I went to see Ross afterward, and he still hadn't even been seen yet."
"I solved the whole problem with money. God, I love being rich!" he finished.
[Commentary ends]
"And it's justified. She was such an incredible bro," Dani defended himself.
"It was a she?"
"Yes, Robin was very beautiful. But she was more of a tomboy type," he replied without shame. "I don't think I'm going to see her again."
"At the end of the game, I remembered Ross and ran straight to the hospital, forgetting to get her phone number," he said with a little regret.
"Oh, too bad for you," Mischa made a face.
"It is, isn't it?" Dani nodded, receiving an attempted kick from Mischa in return. But he managed to trap her leg with his own, locking it in place.
"Dani!" she complained, as he tried to pull her closer.
Lexi, who was holding a stack of pages in her hand, stopped reading and looked over at the two of them. "What are you two doing?"
"What are you doing?" Dani shot back. "Reading while your friends are right in front of you."
"Even if it is my script... did you like it?" His expression changed completely.
"I think it's pretty funny so far," Lexi gave her opinion. "But how come after I left New York, you ended up almost finishing Knocked Up? Didn't you work on Percy Jackson anymore after that?"
"I got bored. And then I suddenly felt inspired to write an adult comedy," he explained.
"Dani!!" Mischa kept whining, since he had taken off her flat shoe and was trying to tickle her.
But a knock on the door made him stop, and the girl quickly straightened herself in her seat at the table.
When the waiter walked in, they looked like just three normal friends.
"Here are your Eggs Benedict," he said, placing a plate in front of each of them.
Mischa read the description of the dish. "A molecular gastronomy rendition of eggs Benedict. The cubes are deep-fried Hollandaise sauce."
Dani stared at the tiny yellow cube, with some fancy decorations on the side. He even lifted the plate comically, as if checking whether there was anything else besides that.
He picked up the fork, put everything in his mouth, chewed, and swallowed.
"Wow, it's pretty good. Bring me five more of these, please," he asked the waiter.
The waiter froze for a moment, a little caught off guard, but then replied, "Right away, sir."
Before he could leave, Dani called him back over. "Here," he said, discreetly handing him a small stack of bills.
"I'll probably keep bothering you, so I might as well give you part of your tip in advance."
"Thank you, sir," the waiter replied respectfully, though there was a clear satisfaction on his face.
"Just call me Dani."
He nodded and went to place the order.
After the waiter left, Mischa mocked him. "You're so unrefined, Dani. You know nothing about etiquette."
Dani stared at her. "Let me teach you something, my beautiful messy friend."
"Etiquette isn't about knowing what an entremet fork or a hors d'oeuvre fork is for. That belonged to a nobility already in decline.
And to a failed modern bourgeoisie - they have nothing left except this, to try to set themselves apart."
"Real etiquette is treating people with respect. Especially the ones you could be rude to without facing any consequences." He finished.
Mischa was staring at him in surprise, until she finally noticed that he had stolen food from her plate.
"Ahh!" she exclaimed. "Give it back, you little ruffian." She tried to take it back with her fork.
"Ouch," he winced, after getting jabbed in the arm.
Lexi just gave him a judgmental look while eating hers delicately.
Dani stared back. "Don't even try to pretend, Lexi. Do you want two more?" he smirked.
She calmly held up three fingers, unfazed.
-------‐-----------‐-----------‐-----------‐-----------‐---------
After a while, and after trying several different kinds of food, they had reached dessert.
"Whoa, I ate well," Dani said with a satisfied smile. "Loved it. Very different and tasteful."
Mischa glanced at him from the corner of her eye. "Treating fine cuisine like it's your afternoon snack..." she muttered.
"So, I already got the key to my new house. It's very nice. How about we break it in?" he said, making a very suggestive proposal.
Lexi looked at him flatly, but then her expression shifted. "Is your screening room already set up and ready to use?" she asked.
Dani looked at her, then turned to Mischa. "Out of every room in the house, of course the first place she'd want to have sex is in the screening room. She is such a perv."
Mischa immediately played along. "Yes. What a perv."
Alexandra simply ignored the duo and went back to eating her dessert.
-------‐-----------‐-----------‐-----------‐-----------‐---------
The trio was in the screening room of Dani's new house. It was small, with around thirty seats, but they were wide and luxurious.
They were together on one especially large seat, which reclined until it was almost like a bed.
"Did you miss it?" Dani whispered to Mischa, who was on one side of him.
He was in the middle of the two girls, with a blanket covering them. They were all naked underneath it.
Mischa just pinched him. He retaliated by squeezing her bum. But what she did next was shift even closer against him.
"Shh," Lexi admonished them. "If you two want to keep having sex, you can do it in another room."
Dani pouted, but replied, "No, we're going to watch Singin' in the Rain with you."
Lexi shifted more comfortably against Dani too, and even rewarded him by letting him play with her breast while she enjoyed the huge cinema screen.
