An open upstairs apartment window, the sound of the fire escape shaking, and laughter alerts the two women of their guests.
----
"Linda listen-! Who the hell are you?" The blonde asks.
-
The brunette snorts.
-
A blonde woman and a green haired woman, stand at the window each making a face.
-
The man stares back at the women.
---
"Bae meet Jennifer, and Dylan aka Tina. Jennifer and Dylan, this is Bae." The brunette introduces them.
"Hi." The man waves.
"Your name isn't really-?"
"No." The man chuckles.
"Why would you introduce him as-?"
"I don't know, he looked like a Bae." The brunette shrugs, as she looks at the man.
-
Dylan snorts.
-
"Not like that!" The brunette says annoyed.
"I mean he's not that unattractive." Dylan shrugs.
-
The man glares at Dylan.
-
"The back handed comment." The brunette laughs.
"He's not a snack, he's more of a nibble." Dylan adds.
"Oh... Oh... Oh my God..." The brunette doubles over laughing.
"Well he, is actually named Neal." Neal continues to glare at Dylan.
-
The brunette snorts, as she climbs through her friend's window.
---
"Is Neal staying?" Jennifer asks her friend.
"I don't know, is Neal staying?" The brunette asks, looking at Neal.
"Am I going to be, insulted again?" Neal asks.
"No Dylan's harmless." The brunette shrugs.
"But she isn't!" Jennifer shoves her friend.
"Hey! He doesn't need to know that!" The brunette laughs. "I don't bite that often!"
-
Neal stares at the brunette.
-
"Just come in. Jennifer is kidding!" The brunette says, wide eyed.
"Whatever you say, Linda." Jennifer winks.
-
Neal hesitantly walks into Jennifer's apartment through the open window.
--
"Oh my God." The brunette mumbles.
"Is your name actually Lin-?"
"It's Lilly." The brunette smiles at Neal.
"Lilly? Like the-?"
"Yes like the flower. But I prefer roses." Lilly nods.
----
"So Neal. Are you the window, Lilly fell into?" Dylan asks.
"Yeah fortunately I was." Neal smiles.
-
Dylan and Jennifer exchange a look.
-
"He means unfortunately." Lilly rolls her eyes.
-
Neal makes a face at Lilly.
-
Jennifer looks at Dylan.
-
"Anyway..." Dylan tries to change the tension.
"You find Prince Charming yet?" Jennifer jokes.
"Hardly. I wouldn't be good enough, for any Prince." Lilly laughs.
"I wouldn't say that." Neal shrugs.
"I could do, without you mocking me. Okay?" Lilly glares at Neal.
"I'm sorry, have you two been hanging out?" Jennifer asks, with a slight smirk.
"Spill the tea!" Dylan says, clapping her hands together.
"There's nothing to-"
"She kissed me, after I rescued her." Neal smirks.
-
Lilly glares at Neal.
-
"Linda!" Jennifer snaps.
"Excuse us, this tea is way too spicy." Dylan says, as she drags Lilly away.
-
Neal awkwardly stands by the window.
