LAYLA
How you wish right??

Ethan opens to door of his single story house

ETHAN
Yeah..

Layla enters and Ethan locks the door

He turns on the living hall lights

ETHAN (CONT’D)
Alright..make yourself at
home, I will go change..

Ethan’s disappears through the hall and Layla takes a quick tour around the house

On the wall behind his plasma screen television, there a framed Scarface poster

Next to the complete television set, there is a cabinet containing various photo frames, most of them with Ethan in it, some with his friends, some with unknown girls and some family photos. The biggest photo frame on display on the cabinet is one picture of Ethan, with Eric and Albert in Dubai with the Burj Al Arab hotel on the background and below the picture in block letters ‘14/06/2006 Dubai with Albert and Eric’

In the middle of all the pictures there is a CD player, as curious as she gets Layla turns the player on and start playing the CD that is currently inside the player I Don’t Wanna Miss a Thing, by Aerosmith starts playing

She left the player running and walks to the back portion of Ethan’s house

LAYLA
Ethan??

ETHAN (O.S.)
Yeah??

Layla locates where the sound is coming from and went in the room without knocking

When the door opens, Ethan just had his zipper up

ETHAN
Unusually rude for a girl..

LAYLA
You were taking to long
and....your house is creepy

Layla goes into the room to take a quick tour, she walks pass a framed poster of Eric Clapton, she stops

LAYLA (CONT’D)
(smiles)
You’re a Clapton fan..

ETHAN
Yeah..

LAYLA
(looks to the next poster)
And an Aerosmith fan?? What
the hell??? (long pause) 2
extreme ends..

Ethan smiles

LAYLA (CONT’D)
(points at Clapton poster)
He has a song with my name
on it

ETHAN
(smiles)
That song is your ring tone on
my phone..

Layla flashes her tongue at Ethan

As she was embracing the Aerosmith poster, she drops her hand phone to the ground

LAYLA
Oh..

Ethan went down to help her collect the phone and so did Layla

Their faces meet and they start looking deep into each others eyes
Glowing with hope on each of their faces that either one will make the first move

The romantic silence ends with the Starwars Republic Theme

Put off by the music both of them snaps out of their fantasy world
