Neurosis is the Norm

Chapter 4

"I know what I was gonna ask ya' babe" she said brightly as if an idea had popped into her head,

"What?" Smithy replied abruptly hearing the murmurs coming from Gina,

"What made you become a copper because I really can't imagine you being a copper more like a baddy!" she commented.

"Oh cheers, I don't really think the whole black and white stripes thing is me." He mocked.

"I wouldn't worry about that Darlin' you'd suit anything. I love a bad boy I do" she joked making a tiger sound.

Smithy turned to Roger and gave a distressed look; breaking away from conversation Roger gave a chuckle in the direction of Smithy.

"Mmm nice lady isn't she Tone," Reg said thoughtfully,

"Who?" Tony replied scoffing his sausage baguette,

"Doreen. She has this scent about her" He sighed,

"Perfume?" Tony said looking down at his shirt while rubbing the ketchup out.

Butting into the conversation Honey and Yvonne chanted,

"Ooooooo"

"Sounds to me like someone's in love Mr Hollis" Honey smiled

Replying Reg rubbed his hand over his perfectly gelled hair,

"No…im not…she's just a nice lady".

"Yeah" They all joked not convinced at all at Reg's feeble excuse.

The group walked down 'Sun Hill Way' admiring the expensive cars and the grand houses, Doreen took a remote out of her jacket and pointed it towards the iron gates. A second later they opened to reveal a large house,

"Wow you live there" Yvonne and Honey said in unison,

"Yeah, I claimed it all off the pig when we were getting divorced! It's great I can sit in the Jacuzzi sipping a nice glass of champers and know that he is in some hostel somewhere with flies around his armpits" She replied, applying a Lancôme juicy tube lip gloss to her full lips.

Roger and Tony looked at Smithy biting their lips, holding back snide comments.

"Yeah I'd keep those comments to yourself, your just jealous that im not flirty with you Tone" Smithy replied, blowing Tony a kiss.

"Yeah your right I'm secretly in love with you Sarge!" Tony said fluttering his eyelashes.

Turning around to see what the boys were talking about Laura caught Tony's outburst,

"Ay, ay what's going on here hey" she smiled,

Putting his arm around Tony shoulders Smithy pinched the larger mans cheek and said,

"Me and Tony are secretly in love with each other aren't we Honey bunny",

"I'm one smitten kitten," Tony said.

Oblivious to the action unfolding behind her Doreen took out her keys and forced one into the lock, turning it the door opened.

"Cor you did alright didn't you" Gina implied picking up a vase close to the stairs,

"Of course I did Gina, when I said I took him for every penny I really did" she smiled.

Waltzing into the kitchen that was adjacent to the hall she lit a cigarette and drew a long puff,

"So what do you lovelies want to drink then? I've got about every bloody drink under the sun," she said to them.

"So was that part of the divorce settlement as well, taking all his booze?" Dan asked not really wanting an answer, saying it through sarcasm.

"No, I just went into his club and nicked a load, the fatty puff don't even know" She laughed.
