Getting Some Fun Out Of Life - Billie Holiday

Maybe we do the right things
Who: Jackie OT anyone that she knows
Where: Vito's place
When: July 10, 1941

With her rations and Vito's rations, and a few things they probably shouldn't have had, Jackie was able to put together a pretty nice sized dinner. She probably should have had it at her flat, but it looked better if it was Vito's.

She invited the people who were mostly friends, and told them they could bring a friend. All it was, was a quiet dinner, right? She'd also invited Hans. That might be a problem for some of her guests, but... he was Hans. She felt really bad for some recent events, and she just had to invite him.

Now that dinner was set on the table, all Jackie had to do was find her cat and set her in the cage. Her cat was curled up in a corner, and Jackie KNEW she wouldn't be able to move him.

"Now, Gunju, you're going to have to behave around all these people. I'll give you somethin special later, if you're a good kitty."

The cat looked up when his name was mentioned, but when he saw she didn't have any food, he went back to licking his paws.

	Josephine arrived a bit early, with a gift of fresh strawberries from her garden. She was glad for the opportunity to visit Jackie and have a nice dinner party - things were certainly looking up lately. "I hope you like these," she said, and offered them over to her hostess.

	Strawberries were one of Jackie's favorites, and she hadn't had them in quite a while. "I love strawberries! Thank you... thank you very much. Have a seat, no one else is here yet.. oh, stay as far away from my cat as you can. He don't take kindly to strangers." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"...wow, that's a big kitty," Josephine said. "What kind is he?" She settled on the couch that was furthest away from the cat. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I'm not sure." Jackie admitted "An African man got him for me. I think he's just a little of this, a little of that. Care for something to drink?" (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Fancy was never late for an engagement, business or pleasure. She arrived on time, knocking softly at the door, a bottle of wine in her free hand. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Jackie opened the door, smiling when she saw Fancy. "Welcome! I'm real glad you made it, come on in and have a seat... just don't mess with my cat." She closed the door behind Fancy, then started introduction. "That nice lady on the couch is Josephine, and Josephine, this is Fancy." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Pleased to meet you, Fancy." Josephine smiled warmly and offered a hand. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Fancy returned Jackie's smile and gave her the bottle of wine. "This is for you." She had no intentions of messing with a cat that did not want to be messed with and took a moment to spot him out so she could avoid him. "I'm glad you invited me. " "Bonjour Josephine." Fancy said, approaching the couch. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Ok, I'll set out some tea, and get some wine glasses out. People are always wanting different things." Jackie disappeared into the kitchen for a moment. "Soon as a few more people get here, we'll have dinner... has everything been okay with you two?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Okay Now that was a loaded question. "Things have been fine. Busy, but good." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"If you ever need to talk." Jackie said "I'm most always available... except for when I'm performing at night." She went quiet for a second, trying to think of something to lighten the mood. "Josephine brought strawberries! Isn't that a nice treat? I just love fresh fruit." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"It was no trouble," Josephine assured her. "My garden grows well." She smiled, pleased that Jackie was enjoying her gift. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Hans knocked at the door, shifting from foot to foot as he waited for Jackie to answer. "I hope we are not late," he said. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	"Oh, you're fine." Jackie smiled "Come on in. Plenty of food, just stay away from the cat." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	heil_hans 2008-07-11 01:50 am UTC (link)
	Hans smiled to Jackie. "This is my friend, M. Michel Benoit," he said by means of introduction. "He owns a wonderful theater. M. Benoit, Jackie Pearson the American singing sensation." He glanced around the room as they came in, looking for the kitty. He was surprised to find it quite so big. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Nice to meet you, Mr.Benoit!" Jackie smiled "It's real good to see you too, Hans. Ya'll want something to drink while I fix your plates?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Michel smiled at her in response. "Pleased to meet you, Mademoiselle." He handed her the box of chocolates. "A small treat for after dinner." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"A glass of wine would be lovely, thank you." Hans settled on to a couch, and nodded politely to the other guests. "Good evening." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Michel handed off the chocolates and hung his coat up, then joined the other guests in the living room. "Why, Fancy LaMorne, what a pleasant surprise! I apologize for not patronizing your establishment of late, things have been far too busy at the theater," he said while making his way over to her, and planting a small kiss on her hand.

	"Bonjour Michel" Fancy smiled, offering her hand to kiss. "I quite understands, things are usually flood or famine in our sorts of businesses." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Thank you." Jackie said, smiling at the chocolates. She popped one in her mouth, before heading off to pour wine. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	"Very." Fancy answered with a sly smile. "The worse the war gets the more business I do. No one wants to be caught sober when the world ends." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
