FADE IN:

3 years ago..

INT. ECLIPSE - NIGHT

Its a typical clubbing environment in Eclipse. Its noisy, its dark and its crowded. Guys dancing with girls all over the club, some dancing on the podium, some on the speakers.

On a table not far away from the podium with 3 bottles of Jack Daniel’s on it, Davion sitting with a stranger is playing rock paper and scissors with her, Peter with his head in the ice bucket is long gone, Timmy sitting next to a stranger and impressing her by drawing on a piece of tissue paper and Rob and Johnny is dancing away with some stranger

The bar of the club is not far away from the podium. Ethan, Tracy and a shoulder length hair Layla is sitting by the bar chatting

TRACY
My God you are fucking hot now..


Layla laughs

LAYLA
I know..


ETHAN
(chuckles)
Your self-esteem..bigger than this
club..


LAYLA
How are you?? seven years since I
last saw you two..


ETHAN
I am fine..where did you go to after
primary school??


LAYLA
I was in UK..just came back 2 months
ago..


ETHAN
Ah..who gave you my contact??


LAYLA
Linda..


TRACY
Did you get plastic surgery during
the time you were at UK??


Layla unsure what to say, she laughs off Tracy’s comment

ETHAN
He’s drunk..you gotta excuse him..


TRACY
I don’t understand how a nerd become
THIS beautiful..


ETHAN
Ah-ha! (got off his seat) time for
you to go back to the table..


Ethan shoves Tracy aside and the drunkard slowly make his way to their table

ETHAN
Sorry..


LAYLA
Don’t worry about it..I’ve seen worst
....look at you..back then I could have
wrestled you down and make you tap out..


ETHAN
(chuckles)
Well..you can try again now..I would
gladly let you wrestle me..


LAYLA
(chuckles)
Ah..quite a tempting offer..but I can’t..
my boyfriend will wrestle you for real
then..


ETHAN
Where is he??


LAYLA
(look around)
I don’t know..ah..screw him..give me your
number


Layla reaches for her handbag to take her Nokia 8310 out

ETHAN
789-1838638..what about yours?


Ethan takes out his red Sony Ericsson Z600

LAYLA
If I call or text you..then you will have
my number..other than that tough luck..


ETHAN
(put the phone back into his pocket)
Playing hard to get??


LAYLA
Like Tracy said..I am hot now..a hot girl
cannot simply give out her number..


ETHAN
But if the hot girl calls or text the guy..
that means the guy have a shot at her right??


LAYLA
Maybe...but maybe its because I wanna call
or text you at a time where you girlfriend
is around..


ETHAN
I can talk myself out of it..


LAYLA
I pity her..


ETHAN
Yeah..I am gonna pity her soon too..


LAYLA
Oh my God..you’re gonna dump her...


Ethan smiles

From Ethan’s back, a buff bald guy with a scary face closes in, he is ADRIAN, 20, Chinese. He walks pass Ethan knocking him in the shoulder and went behind Layla to hug her from the back

LAYLA
(uncomfortable)
Ethan..this is Adrian..


Ethan extends his hand for a handshake, which Adrian snubs

ETHAN
Okay sure..


Layla removes Adrian’s hand around her waist

LAYLA
(to Ethan)
I am going to the toilet..


Layla walks away, Adrian then takes her
seat

ADRIAN
Getting very cozy with her huh??


ETHAN
Haven’t seen her for seven years..you
cannot blame me..


ADRIAN
(serious)
Don’t try be a smart ass with me..


ETHAN
(smile)
If you wanna take a swing..you better
make sure I go down..


ADRIAN
Finish your chat with my property and get
the hell back to your table..


ETHAN
(smile)
Your property?? Eclipse belongs to you??


Ethan downs his drink and walk away from the bar, as he was walking away, he bumped into Layla

ETHAN (CONT’D)
Hey sexy..


LAYLA
Got hostile??


ETHAN
Ah..I deal with people like that all the
time..you have fun..nice to see you again


Ethan hugs Layla

She then kisses him on the cheek

LAYLA
Bye..
