INT. BAKER HOUSE - LIVING ROOM / KITCHEN - AFTERNOON
KNOCK at the DOOR. Seething from Coop, Liv jerks it open.
OLIVIA
Coop, why are you always forgetting..
Liv eyes Spencer.....Oh damn, not Coop
OLIVIA
Your keys...
SPENCER
Hey.
Spence enters, Liv sizes him up. Oh hey, Godiva. He's been using his moisturizer. I taught him well. Shawty let me upgrade ya.
OLIVIA
(Liv regroups, dry AF)
Hello.
A beat of awkward silence.
SPENCER
Look, I know it's been a minute since we linked up. I stopped by--
OLIVIA
Yesterday. Yes, Coop mentioned it.
(mutters)
Among other things.
SPENCER
Yeah, Coop can be..Uh, passionate.
OLIVIA
That's a word for it.
Another beat of awkward silence. Olivia raises brow directed at Spencer.
SPENCER
Right, why am I here? I'm having a last-minute Christmas Eve Eve party. And I want you there.
OLIVIA
A party... You? That's different.
SPENCER
(smirks, a beat)
I've missed you.
OLIVIA
(insert sarcasm)
I can tell... My phone's been ringing nonstop.
2.
SPENCER
I guess I deserve that... I really have missed you.
Spencer erases the space and pulls Olivia close.
SPENCER (CONT'D)
Do you miss me?
Olivia breathes in. Knees weep in SWV. What is this heavenly fragrance?? Nope! Thou shan't be moved. Fuck your Cool Water. Olivia pulls away abruptly.
OLIVIA
Six weeks... It's been six weeks, Spencer. Why now? What's changed?
SPENCER
Nothing. I mean... Not my feelings for you.
(a beat)
I've seen you around campus, Liv... You've been so happy. Happier than you've been in a long time. Didn't want to disrupt that... Hell, wasn't sure you'd want to see me.
OLIVIA
So why bother, right?
SPENCER
The phone works both ways, Liv.
OLIVIA
I'm not the one who pulled the disappearing act.
(a beat)
You claimed you were all in...But the reality is, it's only when it suits you.
Olivia turns to walk away. Spencer pulls her back.
SPENCER
Babe, I'm sorry. I want to fix things... I love you.
Spence and Liv share a charged moment. And then, the PHONE RINGS.
A beat. Liv pulls away, moves towards the door, and holds it open.
OLIVIA
I should take this... I appreciate the invite. But I already made plans. Maybe some other time.
