Nate smiled and said, “Not anymore. You’ve got a beautiful house.”
“We’re very excited about it,” she said. “And we know about its history.”
“You’ll write your own history,” Nate said, and they all waved as he drove back down from Mt. Olympus.
When he got to the stop sign at Laurel Canyon, a Porsche 911 flew past him southbound, cutting off a car that had been trying to make a safe left turn. Nate pulled in behind the Porsche, turned on the light bar, and tooted his horn.
She had all the markings of a Hills bunny, with highlighted hair curled and tousled like Sarah Jessica Parker’s. She had violet eyes and a sprinkle of freckles across her nose and cheekbones under one of those salon tans like Margot’s. Her saline-enhanced bustline reached out and touched the steering wheel.
“Your license, please,” Nate said.
“Was I going too fast?” she said with a blazing orthodontic smile. Her license showed her to be thirty-two years old, and she wasn’t wearing a wedding ring.
“Yes, and that was a very unsafe pass,” Nate said. “We’ve had several bad traffic collisions on this road.”
“I recently got this car,” she said, “and I’m not used to it. I hope you don’t have to write me a ticket!”
He noticed her fingers tugging subtly at her skirt until her athletic thighs were exposed. Then she said, “We just moved in. Guess I need someone local to show me the lay of the land.”
“Just a moment,” Nate said and walked to his shop.
When he returned, the Hills bunny’s skirt was almost up to her seat belt, and she said, “I think that if an officer wanted to get to know a girl better, he wouldn’t write her a ticket.”
Hollywood Nate said, “I think you’re right. Sign here, please.”
