The red Volvo S40 stops in front of a house
21 year old Ethan in casual outfit and an unknown female in a white dress, the song on the background, Look What You've Done, by Jet
The shoulder length hair brunette is MABEL, 21, Chinese, slim, fair complexion
Thanks..
You’re welcome (long pause) thank
you for what??
For the lovely evening..
Anytime..
A moment of silence takes place
Good night Mabel..
Good night..
Mabel exits the car and closes the door, and walk towards the house door
Inside the car
Ethan bracing himself, he takes a deep breath, and exits the car
Hey..
Mabel stops, and turns around
Ethan hugs her, moments later Mabel hugs Ethan tighter
(sighs)
I can’t believe this is happening
to me again..
Don’t do this to me now..
Ethan strokes her hair gently, and they start pulling apart from the hug
While pulling apart, their eyes meet, after a moment, they kiss
Take care of yourself..
I will..
They kiss again, Mabel hugs Ethan thereafter
Good night..
She opens the door and goes into the house
Good night..
Ethan goes back into the car and locks the door, sighing in regret, he takes out his
phone and dials a number
I am fucked..
Oh man..
CUT TO:
EXT. BEACH - CONTINUOUS
Chloe flips the pages
Coffee Bean..some crap ass flashback..
Chloe frowns
(long pause)
The voice over sounds familiar..
Ethan starts laughing
Oh well..
(reading)
Steve in Miami?? (reading) oh my
God..
Ethan takes his note pad back from Chloe and chucks it aside
Your girlfriend died 3 months ago??
It’s just a screenplay dear..it doesn’t
mean anything..
No Et..I know your writing materials..
you don’t write something just for the
fucks of it..
Please..stop asking..
How am I suppose..
I would fall asleep only in hopes of
dreaming that everything would be like
it was before..
You heard the man?? That's how I go to
sleep every night..
Chloe remain silent
If you wanna know the how and when..it
was three and a half months ago. On the
way to meet me..she smash a wall and
died..anything else you wanna know??
(shooks her head)
(sympathizing)
I am sorry...
(looks away)
I am sure everybody is..
A moment of awkward silence takes place
You here alone??
Yeah..you??
Family holiday..but luckily I met you
here..their activities are starting to
get lame..
Wanna go to the Everglades tomorrow??
Chloe looks at Ethan with a funny face
(scoffs)
To do what??
Catch a crocodile.........(scoffs) I
am going on a tour to Little Havana
tomorrow..wanna come??
Little what??
Little Havana..
Anything that will interest me there??
I never been there before..
You talk as though you got something
you want there..
I am in Miami..of course I will go visit
places right??
How long are you staying here??
Until I get bored of the beaches here..
and then I am off to LA
(pouts)
I’ll be leaving in two days..
(grins)
Wanna go to LA with me??
I don’t have a bank account with 80
million in it..
(long pause)
I do..so you are coming with me..
No....but you can continue dreaming
though (smiles) but at the moment..
Chloe gets off her seat
Lets go and swim..
(slight frown)
Are you seducing me??
(long pause)
Let me try think of a way you would
reply....hmm...
Ethan waits in anticipation
Ahh!! A subtle way of relaying a message
to you..(smiles)
Okay that sounds like me....lets go..
Ethan packs his stuff and gets off his seat
(smiles)
After you..
Chloe grab Ethan’s arm
Arm candy! Wow! Special treatment for
a mourning guy??
(annoyed)
You really have the talent to spoil moments
you know..
Ethan laughs
They walk towards the beach thereafter
CUT TO:
INT. HOTEL - EVENING
The SCENE opens in the Sparks Lounge within the hotel, a romantic setting with red lighting. People socializing in the bar, people dining on the table with black leather couch and some people slow dancing through the music currently playing Love is in the Air, by John Paul Young
Ethan and Chloe are on one of the tables, Ethan in formal dressing and Chloe in a black dress. Both enjoying the bottle of red wine
The song selection is superb..
More like a place for people to fall
in love with each other...and not a
casual dinner..
Bite me..
(intrigued)
Where??
Chloe gives Ethan the middle finger
The song changes to The Scientist, by Coldplay
Ahh! Nice song! Lets go and dance!
Chloe gets off her seat and drags Ethan to the dance floor within the lounge
Everybody on the dance floor are slow dancing, Chloe position Ethan’s hand to where it is suppose to be and they start dancing
I know where I am suppose to put my
hands..
Shut up..
Chloe wrap her arms around Ethan and they start dancing slowly hugging each other
(whispering to the ear)
Our first dance..
Ethan remains silent
Yeah...
