Title: “The One Where Louis Learns How To Play.”

Scene 17: Interior / Liam’s Apartment / Afternoon

LOUIS: (completely blushed, stuttering but trying to play it cool) “Wow… That’s… Pretty… Forward. To say the least.”

LIAM: (getting up from his seat, laughing) “I like that answer. I remember you being sassy and I love to see that hasn’t changed.”

LOUIS: “Well… I’m… I don’t even know what to say.”

LIAM: “I’d like something sassier maybe.” (stands just a few inches away from Louis)

LOUIS: (stepping back) “You are way too close.”

LIAM: “And so what?”

LOUIS: “Um… I don’t know.”

LIAM: “You are kind of irresistible. What can I do?” (Louis shrugs) “You are absolutely unaware of how you look like now, aren’t you?”

LOUIS: “Blushed? Sweaty? Awkward? I can think of many other embarrassing words.”

LIAM: (gets closer again) “Sexy.”

LOUIS: “Sexy?”

LIAM: “Yup, very sexy and… Fuckable.”

LOUIS: “Oh, no, no… Wait. I got lost. What is happening?”

LIAM: “I’m messing with you.”

LOUIS: “Well, it’s not as funny as you think it is.”

LIAM: “I’m not trying to make it sound funny.”

LOUIS: “Um…”

LIAM: “Let’s start again.”

LOUIS: “What?”

LIAM: “Be sassy… The Nialler told me you are after this guy.”

LOUIS: “Which guy?”

LIAM: “The one you want to impress tonight.”

LOUIS: “Oh, Niall.”

LIAM: “It’s all good, he didn’t give me any details, relax. All I know is he used to be your classmate, am I right?”

LOUIS: “You are.”

LIAM: “He used to treat you, um, not so well.”

LOUIS: “I bet Niall said he treated me like shit.”

LIAM: “He did.”

LOUIS: “He is exaggerating. It wasn’t that bad.”

LIAM: “Never mind. I like this kind of revenge stuff.”

LOUIS: “It’s not a revenge actually.”

LIAM: “Still… What we need right now is an attitude change. From you.”

LOUIS: “I’m trying.”

LIAM: “Don’t stand like that anymore.”
