The man: "oh come on"

He places his hand on her leg

Carol is across the room and looks over where Alex is. Carol sees that alex is uncomfortable so she walks over to alex and sits next to her

Carol: "You are making her very very uncomfortable. So stop touching her and leave"

The man: "and who are you to tell me that?"

He places his hand higher up on alex's leg
Carol looks at the man and smirks

Carol: "because i'm her girlfriend"

Alex has a shocked look spread on her face

The guy: "yeah sure"

Carol turns to alex. carol places a hand behind alex's neck pulling her into a kiss.She stops kissing alex and turns back to the guy

Carol: "clear enough buddy. I think you need to leave" 

The guy gets up and leaves

Alex smiles

Alex: "thank you carol"

Carol: "can we not tell anyone about this...please"

Alex: "yeah i won't"
