This is my very very first story. And I'm French, so please don't be too hard with me. I accept all critics, especially the constructive ones. If someone wants to help me with my English, I would be delighted !
I'm a huuuge fan of movies, so you'll probably see some references to movies, or series.
Hope you'll enjoy !

« -A Martini, please. Thank you.
-Same thing. Thank you. »
Elsie, leaned up against the bar, looked up to Charles. They both stayed silent for some time before Charles spoke :
« -You look stunning Elsie, really.
-Oh, don't start.
-I mean it ! You've changed your hair coloring, and...
-Yeah, now it's my own.
-Oh, well, it's nice.
-Stop it Charles, you're making it worst. »
But Elsie was smiling when Charles looked down at his glass, before taking a sip :
« -It's a great party isn't it ? »
Charles looked in front of him :
« -Yeah, well, you know Violet, their marriage anniversary it's a good occasion. She likes to have people around. Igor too.
-Yes, that's quite obvious. » She said, while a group of 10 persons she didn't know, walked to the bar next to them.
« -Anyway, how is Lucia ? I don't think I have seen her yet.
-Hmm... She … I mean, we broke up.
-Oh. Not nice. I'm sorry.
-Are you really ?
-Yes. We're divorced. But that doesn't mean I want to see you unhappy. »
They both looked at each other and smiled shyly.
« -Where are Robert and Cora ? I saw them before, but now …
-Just no idea. And where is Beryl ? Did you come with her ?
-Yes, and Bill. Because I didn't see her for 2 hours. She must be completely drunk somewhere by now ! »
Charles laughed openly at that, and Elsie finished her drink, before putting it down on the bar.
« -Elsie ?
-Yes ?
-Good luck ! Here she is !
-Oh no. Good luck to you ! She hadn't seen you for much longer than me.
-Charlie ! Come here and kiss me !
-Hello Beryl, how are you ? »
He bent down to kiss her on the cheek. Beryl put her arms around his middle. Elsie rolled her eyes, and then smiled fondly.
«That smile... Stop that Elsie. Now. » Elsie thought.
« -Alright Beryl, let the poor man alone. Why don't we go and try to find Bill ? Maybe it's time we go home.
-Yes, let's go ! He is so handsome in his suit, I will take it off of him the minute we're in the house !
-Yeah, let's do that. »
Elsie laughed. Charles looked at her and mouthed a thank you. Elsie nodded and smiled up at him, before linking arms with Beryl and turned around.
« That smile... No, stop Charles. Stop. » Charles thought.
