INT. BEDROOM - EVENING
10:13 p.m.
Andy was shut off when Klein cupped her cheek to kiss her one more time. It wasn't deep. It wasn't short. But it was enough to ease her worries away. His kiss was gentle and warm and somehow, she didn't want it to end.
KLEIN
Ayan, attorney.
ANDY
Klein . . .
KLEIN
'Wag ka na malungkot sa scores mo. Kung 'yan 'yong kaya mo ngayon, okay lang 'yan. 'Di mo naman kailangang magalit sa sarili mo. Buti sana kung naging tamad ka kaso masipag ka rin mag-aral. Kung nakukulangan ka, siguro kailangan mo lang ng bagong approach o kaya ng motivation para mas maalala mo 'yong inaaral mo.
ANDY
I'm not mad. Naiinis lang talaga ako kasi I know I can do better than that.
KLEIN
May naiisip ka ba? Kung ano p'wede nating gawin kung sakali?
ANDY
I don't know . . .
KLEIN
Positive reinforcement?
ANDY
Hmm? How?
KLEIN
Ginagawa na nga natin, e.
ANDY
One right answer equals one kiss?
KLEIN
Oo. Pero p'wede naman natin taasan reward mo.
ANDY
Okay, what do you suggest?
Klein leaned in to whisper something in her ear and Andy's cheeks turned warm.
KLEIN
Ano? Deal?
ANDY
But I like taking a bath with you. What if ang baba ng score ko?
KLEIN
Oo nga. P'wede 'yon kapag satisfied ka mismo sa score mo. Kapag hindi, edi walang sabay. Wala ka nang taga-scrub ng likod.
ANDY
Akala ko ba positive reinforcement? Why does it feel like you're taking that away? Negative reinforcement naman ata 'yon.
KLEIN
Hindi, a. Magiging reward lang 'yong bath time natin sa 'yo.
Andy didn't answer, but a frown appeared on her lips again.
KLEIN
Sige dagdagan ko.
ANDY
Ano naman 'yan?
He leaned in again just to whisper.
ANDY
KLEIN!
He grinned.
KLEIN
Ayaw? Ang pula-pula mo na naman, attorney. Kakain lang, e.
