((ALARM BUZZ))

(Adrian sits up in his bed)

Adrian Thompson: ah shit (grabbing his head with his left hand)

**
Was last night real or was it a nightmare? Plus, I am having like the nastiest hangover right about now. Something just doesn’t feel right.
**

(Adrian looks to his right and sees a note left behind from Vanessa)

Adrian Thompson: so, it was real.

(Adrian gets up and shower and starts getting ready for work)

[Scene changes to Adrian’s workplace/office]

(Adrian is walking towards his corner office, as he is being approached by his secretary)

Secretary: Good Morning Mr. Thompson. Steven from Techno Solution confirmed the deal. You have two new appraisals sitting on your desk that came in over the weekend. Reminder: you have a Director of Board meeting in thirty minutes.

Adrian Thompson: Ok. I got it

Secretary: by the way, someone sent you something special

Adrian Thompson: what?!?

(Adrian opens his office door to see a vase with a dozen white roses and a red rose sticking out from top with a note attach to it)

(Adrian looks at his secretary, wondering who could have sent the flowers, he then walks over to it and reads the note)

Adrian Thompson: (reading) To Adrian, from your secret admirer

**
I can’t believe that someone sent me flowers. Who could it be: I know Mario wouldn’t have sent it because he doesn’t know where I work; I doubt CJ would have sent it because the note would have been slightly different.
**

Adrian Thompson: Who sent this? (looking at his secretary)

Secretary: your secret admirer (smiling as she leaves Adrian’s office)

[Scene change]

(Adrian walks into the boardroom, and greets the other directors)

Adrian Thompson: Good morning

Charles McKinley: Mr. Thompson congratulation on closing the deal with Techno Solutions; that now increases our margins by 25%

Kevin Zacland: Yes, another 3.5mil profit

Adrian Thompson: but we are still not anywhere near our projected growth. So we have to keep on expanding within our region.

Kelly VanDaneil: we cannot afford not to be mindful of our goals

Adrian Thompson: you got a point

Charles McKinley: Adrian, with those two new appraisals sitting on your desk; I know you can do it. With both of them closing a deal, that will put us well over our projected growth.

Adrian Thompson: Kevin, get with our travel agent. We are about to start making moves.

[Scene Changes to Charlie's apartment]

Dealer: yo I ain’t gonna keep on supplying ya, if u doesn’t start forking up some money

Charlie Adams: you gonna get your money

Adrian Thompson: (HUH?) we went out to have lunch

Frank Utter: he could have been trying to get over on you; that is all I am saying

Adrian Thompson: what to have sex with me? Don’t you think I can pick and choose who I want to have sex with

Frank Utter: yeah, until it goes against your will

Adrian Thompson: what are you trying to say?

Photo Shoot

Lyrics: I Didn't Know

You came and took
My love from me
You shattered my freedom
Can I breathe?
You stopped my assets
You came to break me
But no I won’t fall
Just slip but caught my grip
Cause no I won’t fall
Then I was not mindful
Now my eyes are open

Oh boy I did not know
Love could have cost me
No I didn’t know
I said, no I didn’t know
No I didn’t know

Come on and look at me babe
Cause no I didn’t know
Look what you done to me
No I didn’t know
My own strength
My inner strength in me
No I didn’t know
I had a voice to shout
To build me back up
To who I am today

Oh boy I did not know
Love could have cost me
No I didn’t know
I said, no I didn’t know
No I didn’t know

The toll that you took on me
No I didn’t know
The price that came with your tag
No I didn’t know
The pain and suffering
You had caused me
You took the most from me
I paid it with an arm and leg
So let me be so
I can breathe cause

Oh boy I did not know
Love could have cost me
No I didn’t know
I said, no I didn’t know
No I didn’t know

Charlie Adams: well aren’t you a bold one mister

Terry Boldman: you passed for a boy for her, wow!

Frank Utter: what do you want bro (not liking Mario directness)

Adrian Thompson: I am Adrian (sounding speechless)

Mario Smith: I did not mean to take the breathe away, but I would sure like to take you out on a date

Adrian Thompson: um…

(Adrian looks to his brothers: Charlie and Terry nodding yes and Frank saying no)

Adrian Thompson: sure!

Mario Smith: here is my card, call me later

(Mario walks away)

Adrian Thompson: guys what should I do?

Frank Utter: nothing!

Adrian Thompson: what do you mean?

Frank Utter: why would you want to, come on look at him. All he wants to do is bang your back out

Charlie Adams: girl hush, you just jealous it can’t be you, (Terry laugh) plus Mario is sexy

Frank Utter: it’s about more than just the look

Adrian Thompson: y’all two fighting is not going to help me out

Terry Boldman: look, do what you want to do, at the end of the day you have to be happy

Charlie Adams: girl call him

Adrian Thompson: yeah, what can go wrong?

Frank Utter: you getting rape (Gets up and walk out the den)

Brian Brown: ok, just make sure you call me later (kisses Vanessa on the cheeks)

(Vanessa gets out of the car and enters the building)

[Scene changes to Vanessa and Stephanie apartment]

(Vanessa starts opening the door)

(A vase is thrown and brakes by the door)

Vanessa Vinning: (screams)

Stephanie Tanner: Why the fuck did you have to do that

Vanessa Vinning: what are you talking about?

Stephanie Tanner: Embarrassing me in front of everyone in the mall

Vanessa Vinning: Are you talking about Brian?

Stephanie Tanner: whatever is name is

Vanessa Vinning: that is not even the guy, you were talking about

Stephanie Tanner: So what, you are not suppose to get no man in front of me

Vanessa Vinning: you are sick (in disbelief)

[Scene change]

**
So, I called Mario started talking to him for awhile. I must admit, I was turned on by his boldness, you don’t find a lot like him around these days. My friends are iffy about the relationship but I think jealousy plays a role, like come on. He is a total eye candy.
**

[The scene is the local den]

Charlie Adams: Are you still talking to him? Hello, we are sitting right here

(Adrian hangs up the phone)

Adrian Thompson: sorry guys

Terry Boldman: you weren’t bothering me. But check it; I am going to talk to him right there. (Look at his brothers) I will check y’all later.

(Terry leaves the table)

Waiter: Sure, coming right up (and leaves)

Adrian Thompson: Drinking this early?

Mario Smith: I just want make sure the mood is set

(Adrian looks at Mario and bites his bottom lip)

[Scene changes to Stephanie and Vanessa apartment]

(The two girls are tangled up on the floor)

Stephanie Tanner: Do you have any idea what it’s like to be rejected

Vanessa Vinning: I can’t believe you. You cannot call Brian a rejection

Stephanie Tanner: How do you know, I had my eyes on him too

Vanessa Vinning: you are nothing but a slut

(Vanessa then tries to break free, just when Stephanie grabs her by her hair and pulls her closer)

Stephanie Tanner: (screaming) Bitch!

(Vanessa then grabs Stephanie’s hair and start yanking it)

Vanessa Vinning: (screams) get off of me

(Stephanie takes her other hand and slap Vanessa on the face)

(…dead silence… the girls look each other in the face)

[Scene changes to local restaurant]

Adrian Thompson: We used to do a lot of things together, then he just change

Mario Smith: Ok, I see, so what are you looking for?

Adrian Thompson: I really don’t know, I been with him for like 4 years so…

Mario Smith: look, I didn’t mean to cut you off but ever since we been sitting here. All you been talking about was him

Adrian Thompson: I’m sorry, I…

Mario Smith: so you are not over him.

(Adrian did not response)

Mario Smith: I see. Well when you get over him, then give me a call. Better yet, lose my number and I am sure you got this tab too

(Mario gets up and leaves without saying another word)

Adrian Thompson: I am not (looking down)

**
Watching Mario storm out and the thought of my ex on my mind, I need me a drink. Getting over him will be a lot harder than I thought it would be. Just the thought of CJ made me chuck and now I am trying to hold back my tears because I still do love him.
**

(Adrian paid the tab and leaves the restaurant)

[Scene changes to local bar/lounge]

(Adrian walks in and sit down on a bar stool)

Female Bartender: Someone is not looking to good today

Female Bartender: I will make it my special

A Familiar Voice: I didn’t think I would see you here

(Adrian looks at the person but is not really moved by seeing them)

Adrian Thompson: yep. Something to do to clear my head

Vanessa Vinning: Mind if I join you?

(Vanessa sits down and places her drink on the bar)

Female Bartender: Here is your Long Island, want me to keep a tab open for you?

(Adrian nods)

Vanessa Vinning: (talking to the bartender) can I get two shots of patron?

Female Bartender: Someone is looking to get something tonight

Vanessa Vinning: (eyes the bartender) no.

Adrian Thompson: a shot of patron? You are sure going to put me in the zone

Vanessa Vinning: (laugh) it’s the least I can do

Adrian Thompson: anyway, what are you doing here?

Vanessa Vinning: I got into a fight with my roommate

Adrian Thompson: ohh yeah, is everything ok, what happen?

Vanessa Vinning: I don’t want to talk about it

Adrian Thompson: No, tell me, I want to know

[Scene is local bar]

(Vanessa tries to get up but then stumble to only be caught by Adrian, holding her up, the two exits the bar)

[Scene change to outside of local bar]

Vanessa Vinning: Look (pointing to the sky) it’s a full moon out tonight

Adrian Thompson: Vanessa (remembering her situation)

Vanessa Vinning: I can’t go home, but can I

Adrian Thompson: you don’t even have to ask (cutting her off)

(Adrian & Vanessa gets into Adrian’s car and drive off)

[Scene changes to Adrian’s loft]

(Adrian and Vanessa walk up the spiral stairs to his flat)

(Vanessa looks around and is amazed by the layout, structure and framework of Adrian’s loft)

Vanessa Vinning: This is where you live?

Adrian Thompson: Yes, do you like it?

(Vanessa then glides her finger along the marble frame of the fireplace, while looking at the artwork on the wall, she then turns her head)

Vanessa Vinning: Yes, it’s beautiful

Adrian Thompson: (smile) thank you

(Vanessa eyes just glister in enjoy, as she makes her way back to Adrian)

Adrian Thompson: You can sleep on my bed; I’ll sleep on the couch

Vanessa Vinning: (smiles) its ok, you can sleep on the bed with me

(Adrian then starts to undressed himself; Vanessa walks over and stops him)

Vanessa Vinning: I got this

Adrian Thompson: You…

Vanessa Vinning: Don’t say nothing else

Vanessa resume in taking Adrian’s clothes off, pulling his shirt over his head, as one hand sweep down his body to start unbuckling his pants. Adrian stands there, watching Vanessa as she slowly but surely undresses him. Adrian then steps out of his pants to get pushed onto the bed. Vanessa jumps on top of him with her legs separated. Adrian opens his mouth; Vanessa put one finger in front of his mouth and shakes her head no. Adrian place his hands on her hip, Vanessa takes off her shirt. Adrian leans up and kisses her between her chest, and Vanessa heads fall back, she then takes her hand and run them thru her hair, putting her body into motion. Adrian then continues kissing Vanessa on the chest as he reaches around to undo her bra, succeeding, he then stick his tongue out and creates a wet line. Adrian clinches his lips together and blows smoothly on the line, sending shockwaves into Vanessa’s body. Vanessa then grabs Adrian, digging her fingers into his back. Adrian then picks Vanessa up and turns her on her back, kissing down her body. Vanessa breathing is starting to get heavy, as Adrian pulls her panty off her toes. Adrian then licks his lips and then licks his way down from the toes. Vanessa then grabs Adrian’s head and guides him with her body being shot back as satisfaction please. As Adrian twirl, twist and flip; Vanessa grasp onto the pillow, shooting both legs into the air. Adrian looks up at Vanessa and start climbing towards her; he then lowers himself and slide right into her. Adrian rolls them over, still inside, and Vanessa grabs onto Adrian’s chest as she continues to ride. From the feeling inside, Vanessa grabs herself as it fit her right. Vanessa opens her eyes, looking down at Adrian, leans in and kisses him on the lip. The two kisses each other with such strong affection. Adrian places Vanessa on her back again and arches his body up. The two grabs hands, Vanessa then turns her head and look out the window unto the full moon. Just as Adrian re-enter, Vanessa turns her head only to see Adrian looking into her eyes. Vanessa sent out a moan on the first thrust, and each thrust afterward was a dip into ecstasy. From the smoothness to the wetness, Adrian started to bust, so he pulls out:

Adrian Thompson: Ohh SHIT!

Vanessa Vinning: What?!?

Adrian Thompson: Nothing

(Tired, Adrian collapse back onto the bed)

**
Damn, that felt good.

[Scene changes to Momma’s house]

**
Yeah that is momma, Angela Benson. You got to love her, she has your back through thick and thin; and there when no one else is there. She has been there for me, ever since the break up.

**

Adrian Thompson: Mom

Angela Benson: what is it boy

Adrian Thompson: can you tell me where I went wrong?

Angela Benson: Baby, you are my son and I love you with all of my heart. I know my son, you did nothing wrong.

Adrian Thompson: Mom! (Sensing she is just taking his side)

Angela Benson: If no man can’t stay with you; than he is not worth you. What the Lord gives us, it will not leave us, but what left you, it was just not meant for you.

Adrian Thompson: yeah, I just need to let it go and see what else is out there. (Deep sigh)

Angela Benson: I know what can cheer you up; let me tell you the story “when I met your father”

Adrian Thompson: mom you tell me that story every time we have breakfast together

Angela Benson: I know, maybe you can learn something from it

Adrian Thompson: like what?

(KNOCK, KNOCK on the front door)

Adrian Thompson: I will get the door

(Adrian opens the door, there is Vanessa Vinning)

Adrian Thompson: what are you doing here?

Vanessa Vinning: I have been trying to reach you. Did you get any of my calls?

Adrian Thompson: yeah I did

Vanessa Vinning: have you thought about returning them. I mean I have been worried about you since I saw you on that show

Adrian Thompson: look (getting turned off) if that is what you came here to talk about, forget it. I am in no mood or condition

Vanessa Vinning: no, (cutting in) I just came to check on you, I was just worried, that’s all

Adrian Thompson: you have always been sweet to me, thanks, but why do you do it?

Vanessa Vinning: because I…

(Vanessa is cut off by momma)

Angela Benson: baby who is at the door (sees that it’s Vanessa.) Miss Vanessa don’t you just look lovely

Vanessa Vinning: thank you momma Benson

Angela Benson: girl come on in, I don’t know why Adrian didn’t just invite you in, in the first place

Adrian Thompson: mom

Angela Benson: chile hush, there is enough for her, Vanessa come and let me make you a plate

Frank Utter: Right behind you!

Charlie Adams: Girl don’t do that, you scared me

Terry Boldman: where is Adrian?

Charlie Adams: late as always

(All three laugh in unison)

**
Those are my brothers. Ever since I been on low terms, they are always trying to get me out and make me enjoy myself. In other words, keep my mind off of him. I am not saying I am stupid crazy over him but being in a relationship for so long, you kind of forget where to start or how to start over. That is where they come in.
**

[Scene changes back to momma’s house]

(Adrian walks back into the dining room)

(Everyone looking at Charlie laughing)

Announcer: I want everyone to put their hands together for a very passionate poetic, James

(Everyone inside the den starts clapping their hands, welcoming James onto the stage)

[Scene changes to the mall, Stephanie & Vanessa are walking out of a shoes store]

Stephanie Tanner: I did not like a single pair of shoes in that store

Vanessa Vinning: girl you just don’t have no taste

Stephanie Tanner: that is ok boo; I got my taste in men though

(Vanessa laugh)

Stephanie Tanner: isn’t he cute (pointing to a guy in the food court)

Vanessa Vinning: girl you need to do your men like you do your shoes

Charlie Adams: I know, he had my blood warm in a heart beat

Terry Boldman: This is not True Blood, he don’t want it (laugh)

Frank Utter: So Adrian, are you going next

Adrian Thompson: no, no I can’t go up there? (Getting shy)

Announcer: Is there anyone else that would like to take over the mic?

(Charlie, Terry and Frank stands up, point towards Adrian)

Announcer: it seems like your crew want you up here, the mic is yours

(Adrian make his way onto the stage where the mic await him)

Adrian Thompson: Hi, I am Adrian. Lend me your ears and take a walk down this hall with me:

“As I walk down this
Lonely hall by myself
Depression covered me
Like coats of water
Holding me down so
I can’t swim above to breathe
The more I walk the lonely hall
The deeper I go in the sea
As I step through the door
God stretch out his hands
For my reach
The winds of hands
Held me, pulled me
Out of the depression sea
And set me free”

[Scene changes to mall Stephanie and Vanessa are inside the food court]

Stephanie Tanner: I am about to go give him my number

Vanessa Vinning: why? So he can do you like the rest of them

Stephanie Tanner: huh? How dare you say something like that (getting hot!)

Vanessa Vinning: you already know you like him, now make him come to you

Stephanie Tanner: ok (getting anxious)

Vanessa Vinning: that will assure that he likes you too

(A guy walks over to them)

Brian Brown: excuse me miss, how are y’all ladies doing today?

Stephanie & Vanessa: Hi!

Brian Brown: (looking at Stephanie) Can you give me a minute while I talk to your friend?

(Stephanie gives Vanessa an envy look and walks away, and Vanessa is in total shock by the hit-on)

[Scene changes to local coffee shop]

Charlie Adams: Girl that was good

(Adrian joins his brothers back at the table)

Adrian Thompson: Thank you (smiling)

Charlie Adams: if you had kept on going, I would have caught the Holy Ghost

Frank Utter: I know, I like a man who are deep on words, just my type (licking his lips)

Terry Boldman: (laugh at Frank) how many time does he have to reject you, for you to understand that he don’t want you.

Frank Utter: man whatever

(Adrian looks up at a stranger, who is looking down on him)

Stranger: Hi, I am Mario
