2. Romano and Liver

A drunk Romano is a show stopper especially at the party celebrating her act in the midair music video. Alan, Mark, Herman and Romano stood along with the producers inviting guests in the milestone party for topping the charts worldwide along with offers for magazine and TV interview offers for the cast and crew. The guests congratulated the casting duo and praised Romano for her nerves in holding a never before done scene like this.  Romano slipped her drinks one by one with ease before walking up the stage to address the audience. She had the aura of mystery to command a stage and is known for her fearless reputation to enact scenes which others would sweat about. Romano got on stage to thank the audience for their support and vowed to perform even better and enthrall her fans. She blew kisses to Herman who cheekily slipped behind the standing audience unable to handle all the attention of the Russian lass. She called him onstage and kissed him like a man. Later that evening, Romano came home and what ensued was an interesting conversation.
Romano lying in the bed with her secret night gown and suddenly woken up by a voice that sounded like hers;
Romano’s Liver: Hello Romano, how are you feeling? It’s me, your liver talking.
Romano: Are you serious? I finished 2 bottles of water before going to bed.
Liver: that’s fine Romano. I thought its time I spoke to you.
Romano: Am I in Herman’s bed still?
Liver: No, You aren't’. What you are hearing is for real!
Romano: this must be a joke. Somebody must have spiked my drinks!
Liver: that’s third on my list of agendas to discuss with you today. You don’t have any clue of what fuck you are drinking! Last week you came home after drinking a bottle of cough syrup.
Romano: Oh! But I have been trying to smoke alcohol. I knew this was coming.
Liver: You would do anything to get drunk! Now listen to me
Romano: Fine. Go on.
Liver: Never drink with bad company, last week we did our best to save you. The man standing next to you was spiking your drink over and over again.
Romano: Who? Alan?!
Liver: No. not him. The soft spoken fellow from the theater group.
R: Dennis Woodfred? He is such a sweet heart. I melt every time I look into his eyes. But what was he up to?
L: He went on re-filling your drink. Getting one after the other and watching you guzzle like a desert SUV! And you went on gazing at his eyes and taking his bait to go to bed with him. I could feel that, you were gulping down $500 glass shooters like your dad raised you in hell!
R: Oh is it? But did I end up in his bed?
L: No you didn't! Luckily Alan came in the way and shot down two glasses before falling flat on his face. Poor Herman wanted to impress you and he too didn't stand a chance after one shot.
R: What was I drinking then? How come nothing happened to me?
L: Lady Luck, All your spiked shots were taken down by those humble men. Poor Alan had to be admitted to hospital and Herman went home straight only to wake up for his weekend prayers 4 days later.
R: That’s fine Liv. By now, you would know I make my own luck. Two men who put their throat in line for me.
L: that’s not it all. You left the party and went straight to Herman’s bed. We were surprised you had the thing for him but never could see the butterflies in your tummy.
R: Yes, I Remember. That was by mistake. I thought that was Dennis’s place.
L: Yes my lady. You went to Herman’s Bed with Dennis and woke up in an Old pick up inside Alan’s garage!
R: Wait a minute! Did I go to bed with Dennis Drunk? Is that what you mean?
L: Off Course Yes. You did. But Luckily Dennis drove Herman along with him and Alan followed your car. Herman came inside, got you upstairs to his bed and made you comfortable before he did the same to Dennis in another room. We could hear him scream something about removing his underpants though.
R: Hilarious! So did Herman undress me too? I thought I had a good sleep.
L: Poor chap has trembling hands. He couldn't come close to managing a drunkard like you. He did help you with your feet and gave you some water. I don’t remember anything after that.
R: What was Alan doing at this place?
L: he wanted to see what was going on between the three of you. Last thing I remember, we could hear a man cry in agony after failing to jump over the wall.
R: So much for getting drunk. I wish I was in my senses to laugh at these.
L: You did my lady. You did dream about someone and woke up in the middle with hiccups. You grabbed a bottle of cough syrup and emptied it before falling on the bed again. You must know by now why does you liver talk!
R: I’m sorry. I have been a little reckless. But how did I end up in Alan’s garage?
L: let me tell you, you woke up early in the morning and took the car keys of Herman. You saw Alan at the gates lying down. You helped him to get in the car and in the course of dropping him at his home, you drove the car straight inside his garage and passed out once again.
R: I have been stressing out myself a lot. Maybe it’s time I take a break from alcohol and socializing evenings!
L: the last time you said this, you were invited to the engagement party of musical chef Thomas. Thomas pulled the plug on his marriage the next day and you came back home with his diamond engagement ring.
R: I know, I remember. Extremes don’t work for me. I must be careful.
L: the paper boy saw you lying near the pool yesterday. He called the cops and they responded by putting you back in bed!
R: I don’t remember why I went to the swimming pool in the first place.
L: You were searching for water to drink and you found in outside in the pool! Sometimes we wonder is there any way where you are going to get killed by your actions. Seems like you have never ending  streak of good luck.
R: Yes. (Smiling). I shouldn't be riding all of it at once.
L: I’m tired of your behavior. High time I decided to speak up and let you know your life no longer depended on only your actions. I’m equally responsible to pull the plug on it.
R: I think it’s time for you to go to bed!

Romano gulps down a bottle of water from the table. She keeps aside the snorting device and begins to roll in her bed before crashing to sleep. When she wakes up next morning, she will look underneath her bed for her talking liver again!
