Page 68 - 72

The music on the background is now Clocks, by Coldplay. Moments later the same table starts cursing at the TV set. The 4 girls continue staring at the table
The girls starts their conversation again

JILL
(long pause)
I just don’t understand why guys
love football so much..its just
twenty two sweaty men chasing
down one ball and (look at the
lunatic’s table) maybe those 3
girls are dudes..


LAYLA
Well, one thing I learn about
guys and football..never ask
them to choose between you and
football, last time I did that
to Ethan I was disappointed...
until I toss him my panties..


Lily takes a look at Layla as she was talking

LILY
Okay...so..tell us how he did it..


LAYLA
(clueless)
How he did what??


LILY
How he came and swept you off your
feet..what do you think I was referring
to?? Sex??


ANABEL
Yeah seriously..how did you even consider
it?? we had never dump our boyfriend for
another guy before..


LAYLA
When you meet a total opposite of your
boyfriend..when you begin to wonder
why can’t your boyfriend be more like
this new guy..


LILY
You seriously did not feel bad for
Dicky at all??


LAYLA
(slight shook of the head)
I tolerated him for nine months, worst
part....he didn’t even noticed the
warning signs..


LILY
Okay okay..how he did it..


LAYLA
He was charming...and...some that
I am not comfortable talking about
(grins)


LILY
Come on~~ HOW??!?!?


LAYLA
Let me tell you one incident that
took place before we got together


LILY
(excited)
Woo tell us!!


LAYLA
I was out with him playing the Coke,
Mentos thing..right before we went
on a movie..so in the process his
pants got wet..so..we went back to
his place for him to change..


ANABEL
I thought you said you didn’t kick
it off with sex..


LAYLA
Yes..let me finish..so..there was
this moment where we almost kissed
and then Dicky called..so..it spoilt
the mood..after that..I purposely
left my phone in his room..


JILL
Ahh..what a cheap stunt..


Layla grins

LAYLA
So..after the movie, we went back to
his place and after I collected my
phone..I told him that I don’t wanna
go back....you should have seen the
priceless moment of his face..so..


WHITE FLASH TO:


INT. ETHAN’S ROOM - NIGHT

Layla is sitting on Ethan’s queen size bed and Ethan is standing by the door still in his priceless moment expression

ETHAN
Okay..I’ll go crash in the hall
then..


LAYLA
What’s wrong with sleeping next
to me??


ETHAN
(stun)
Nothing..


LAYLA
So lets share the bed then..


ETHAN
(zombie-like)
Okay.....excuse me..


Layla gets off Ethan’s bed

LAYLA
Hey wait! I need a towel and a t-shirt


ETHAN
(long pause)
Help yourself in the closet..


Ethan turns around and goes into the bathroom

In the bathroom, he stands in front of the mirror and start fidgeting again

ETHAN
Oh my fucking God..oh my fucking God..


He slaps himself a few times

ETHAN (CONT’D)
(emphasizing)
NO condoms! Remember!


He takes out his K750i and start typing a text message ‘Johnny, Layla is in my house and I am in trouble help me!’

After sending the message he looks at himself in the mirror

The mirror image appears to have a life of its own starts talking to Ethan

REFLECTION
Just do it..


ETHAN
(startled)
Oh my fucking God!!


He taps the mirror a few times to check that it wasn’t himself that say those words, moments later, Steve Tyler’s voice saying ‘Holy Shit!’ Coming from Ethan’s phone, Johnny replies ‘I am not into threesome with another guy Ella..but in any case just fuck her don’t be an idiot’

ETHAN (CONT’D)
(long pause)
Shit..(looks at the groin) no!!


Ethan brace himself and exits the bathroom, Layla with a towel and a white t-shirt on her shoulder is waiting outside

LAYLA
(smiles)
I am taking a shower now..


BACK TO:


INT. AURA - LATER

The girls remain silent

LILY
So what’s your point??


LAYLA
When we were sleeping (inverted
comma gesture) “together”..


CUT BACK TO:


INT. ETHAN’S ROOM - NIGHT

Both Ethan and Layla are on the bed now under the comforter and Layla is on Ethan’s chest

LAYLA
Good night..


Layla kisses him on the cheek and went back to rest her head on his chest

ETHAN
(mortified)
Good night..


CUT BACK TO:


INT. AURA - LATER

LILY
Oh my God..he seriously did not??


LAYLA
(shakes her head)
No..all he did was put his hand
on my waist..


JILL
And YOU say..’we need each other
equally’..what a load of crap


The 3 girls starts laughing and Layla blushes

ANABEL
So that incident sealed the deal
for him??


LAYLA
(whispering)
That bastard! I was in his t-shirt!
bra-less! Hugging him! And my head
was on his chest!!


LILY
(long pause)
Wow..


ANABEL
In a guy’s world..wouldn’t he be
dubbed a dumbass for not...
