Sabrina: leans on the railing How about you forget the rent, and I don't burn this place down?
What would be your reasoning for burning the house down?
rolls her eyes Oh, you know. Just my little way of showing gratitude for not killing me for being so broke.
If that was your intention then you probably would have been killed in your home country I'm from Latin America. But I'm not a murderer so let's just cut to the chase
smirks Well, aren't you lucky to have a landlord with a heart of gold like me? So, what do you say? Deal or no deal?
smiles What are we settling exactly?
raises an eyebrow Are you seriously asking me that? We're settling the fact that I owe you a shitload of rent, and I'm proposing a deal to make it easier for both of us.
I think a "shitload" of rent is going to be more than just a month or two of not paying rent. How about you cut the cost of rent by 50% and I only owe you for 12 months
narrows her eyes You think you can negotiate with me? That's a good one. How about this? I pay you a hundred dollars every week.
laughs sarcastically Oh, sure. Because 75 dollars is so much more reasonable. Look, lady, I'm doing you a favor here.
smiles No I'm doing you a favor. I could easily kick you out and let the cops seize all your possessions but I'm not. So 75 or nothing
pauses, considering Fine, 75 dollars it is. But remember, I'm doing you a huge favor here. Don't expect me to always be so understanding.
I'll make a deal with you. You find another roommate to help pay rent and you can even ask for my recommendation. If they agree to take you I won't charge you for the remaining 11 months
raises an eyebrow You think I can't find another roommate? Don't underestimate my skills, darling. I've got connections. If you recommend me, I guarantee you they'll love me. So, what do you say? Deal?
extends her hand for a handshake Alright, deal. Let's shake on it and make it official.
grinning mischievously Now that we have our little agreement, how about we celebrate with a night out? My treat.
claps her hands excitedly Great! We're going to have the best damn night out. Get ready for some real fun, easterlymuse.
raises an eyebrow I'm already dressed for bed
rolls her eyes playfully Well, lucky for you, I'm full of surprises. Get up, get dressed, and meet me downstairs in 10 minutes.
Sabrina and easterlymuse go out for a wild night, ending up at a karaoke bar where Sabrina surprises everyone with her amazing singing talent
raises an eyebrow Wow you're really good at singing
grinning Thanks, easterlymuse. But that's not all. I've got another trick up my sleeve. Prepare to be amazed.
