GREGORY
So what is it then??? the cruise
didn’t get you the reaction you
wanted??


ETHAN
Greg..we know each other for two
thirds of our lives....ah!! come
on you know..


GREGORY
Having problems expressing yourself
ehh??


ETHAN
The magic word comes out of her mouth
A LOT and me being me..I suck at
situations like that..


GREGORY
So..how do you counter it??


ETHAN
Whenever she says ‘I love you’
I just tell her ‘..Love you too..’


GREGORY
(laughs)
So typical of you..the ‘I’ is missing..
and let me guess, she is asking about
it already right??


Ethan leans back to the bench and shook his head

ETHAN
She haven’t really noticed the missing
‘I’ yet..but she is starting to realize
that I haven’t said it to her before..


GREGORY
You’re still scared aren’t you??


ETHAN
Yeah..


GREGORY
(looking far ahead)
Oh dude..check it out..


Ethan looks at the direction Gregory points at, not far away a very attractive girl in shades, sports bra and a very short and tight black pants, jogging towards them

GREGORY (CONT’D)
(mesmerized)
Reminds me so much of Baywatch..when
you see the girls running..the bouncing
bouncing tits..


ETHAN
(mesmerized)
Well..this is real life..Baywatch was
on TV..


The girl stop not far away from them and start stretching

Both the horny guys have their eyes set on her

ETHAN (CONT’D)
You think she doing that on purpose??


GREGORY
Don’t really care..


Soon after the girl walks towards the bench they are on

GIRL
(folds her arm)
You people should not check out a girl
like that you know..


She is ANNA, 21, Chinese with tan complexion

ETHAN
I always thought you people like it??
Right Anna??


GREGORY
(to Ethan)
You know her??


She removes her shades

ANNA
(to Ethan)
You’re still a perv..


ETHAN
Anna..this is Greg..


Anna and Gregory shakes hand

ANNA
(smile)
Hi..


GREGORY
Hi..


ETHAN
Do me a favour..drop your shades to
the ground..and then pick it up without
bending your knees..


ANNA
(to Greg)
Nice to meet you Greg..


Anna smacks Ethan on the back

ANNA
I gotta continue my jog now..Bye
Greg..(to Ethan) bye asshole..


Anna continues her jog

ETHAN
Yes..I’ll give you her number later..


Gregory hugs Ethan

GREGORY
Man..I love you..


ETHAN
(removing Greg’s hand)
Fuck off man!!


Gregory starts laughing

GREGORY
Dude..I know you were scarred once,
but you seriously need to put that
behind you..


Ethan remains silent

GREGORY (CONT’D)
Last time..you said it...you got
fucked..this time she said it first..
so I honestly don’t think there is
much to worry about..


ETHAN
Yeah..I know..


GREGORY
It sucks to get burn..I know....
you felt fucked when she ignored
it right?? Imagine how Layla feels
now..


ETHAN
You sound like a fucking girl..


GREGORY
Gotta be a little sensitive..got a
new target already..


ETHAN
Hmm..Anna..Don’t miss out on this boat
man..seriously..


GREGORY
After seeing her do a Baywatch, you
seriously think I’ll just drop the
subject??


Ethan and Gregory laughs

GREGORY (CONT’D)
I still find it disturbing though..


ETHAN
What??


GREGORY
Back then..Allison and Dani were total
opposites superficially so I can understand..
now Chloe and Layla (shook his head with a
slight frown)....She haven’t seen Chloe before
right???


ETHAN
(emphasizing)
NO~


Greg nods

GREGORY
Among your friends. Who else have seen Chloe
before??


ETHAN
Al, Eric, Johnny and you..


GREGORY
None of them said anything yet??


ETHAN
You’re the first..


Gregory chuckles

GREGORY
I know she is the first girl you ever
fell in love with..but whatever it is..
you gotta snap out of the Chloe hang-over
man..you got a new girlfriend already..


ETHAN
I am trying..


GREGORY
Good!


Ethan nods

Both of them gets off the bench

ETHAN
I’ll race you to the other end..


The moment Ethan finishes his sentence he quickly sprint away

GREGORY
(starts running)
Hey fucking cheater!!


FADE TO BLACK.


FADE IN:

INT. LAYLA’S ROOM - AFTERNOON

The SCENE opens in a huge fully furnished room with pearl white walls, a study table with a desktop and above on the wall there is a pin board full with pictures of Ethan and Layla, some with her friends and some unknown females
Not far away from her built in dresser and closet is a queen size bed, where both Layla and Lily in casual wear are lying on. Playing on average volume in the background is Baby Don't Get Hooked on Me, by Mac Davis

LILY
How was the cruise???
