''Liza , please wear your red dress , we need to do a tango tonight ''

''Tango '' Liza gave a very big smile ''wait why ?'' ''are you going to make someone jealous ?''

''ah yes , its a girl , you know how it is '' Eliot said casually 

Liza loved Tango ''its downstairs ? in ballroom ?''

''yes''

Liza was a bait for many a girls , she had done it so many times before ,making girls jealous. She was proud of her skills , her beauty , her moves . It was a time to shine . She wore her low neck best dress . It was beautiful night , guests were gathering in the ballroom .Young couples were dancing when Eliot played ''Caro nomo'' by  Maria Callas , she had practiced it many times with him . They were so perfect .Eliot was moving her like a doll in his arms , she was so light .All voices in her head were hushed , she was moving at slow theme .When song was over all guests were clapping for them .She looked around .Suzanne , the targeted girl had left the room ,her seat was empty . mission was accomplished she smiled victoriously at Eliot who returned her same smile . From the corners of her eyes , she saw Nathan standing in the door . His arms were crossed against his chest and his head was tilted to one side .

Everyone left at ten and it was just David , Lara and their two kids . Lara was Eliot's cousin and David was his childhood friend . They were the kind of friends who knew everything ...almost . Kids went to built in cinema and Eliot went to see off Suzanne , hid new found love . There was some noise in the parking , Lara and David looked at each other and they started running towards parking lot . Liza followed them too . 

Nathan and Eliot were facing each other . Eliot's nose was bleeding and Nathan had some bruises too . They hushed up when they showed up . 

''you threw this party , you made all this mess , you will clean it yourself ,my people are not going to clean for you'' Nathan said harshly 

''I am not going to do it ''Eliot said stubbornly 

''we will see that ''

David and Lara tried to talk sense to both of them then they left too . 

''Ask Mrs Doris '' she will agree , Liza gave an idea to Eliot 

''She is sick '', '' and i am not going to do it , i am going to sleep now , good night ''

Liza looked at Eliot helplessly .

''Then i will do it myself ''she said but Eliot did not replied .

Liza looked at the tables , it was not much , she could clean it in one night . She took off her red dress and wear some jeans and tee shirt . She put a song on stereo . it was ''Shiv Tandav stotram '' she played and played it many times .  It was almost two when some turned off the stereo . 

''Liza you don't have to do this '' she heard Nathan

'' its okay , i am doing it for Eliot ''

he paused for a moment 

''why are you doing this ? who are you to him ''

She did not reply . 

''Look , i am not going to take an action against you or him if you  are his girlfriend , things happen , people fall in love its okay , i am not going to mind if you have any other settlement with him ''

'' you mean sex slave ?'' 

''no ,of course not , its an ancient thing ''

'' no its not Mr. Nathan , it still happens ,its everywhere ''

Nathan just looked at her for few seconds .

''why are you sad most of the time ?''

Liza turned away but Nathan was holding her hand .

''Cant we just be friends ?''

''Eliot would not like..''

''damn , its about you , what you like ''
