Eli walks into the kitchen and opens the fridge; he quickly glances over his shoulder.
Eli B&W "The tension between me and Grace has gotten really weird, not in that way but because I can feel vibes coming from her…"
Eli, is that you?" Grace calls from off-screen
"Yeah"
"Ok" she whimpers quietly.
Eli B&W "She hates me… she has every reason to".
Eli exits the kitchen with a packet of crisps.
…………………………………..
"Grace, Eli, anyone in?" Lily calls as she has comes through the door.
Silence.
Rick enters the door behind her carrying what could be called a million bags.
"We've got presents" he screams.
Silence.
"They must be out" Lily states
Rick looks around (just to make sure) after he puts the bags down on the kitchen worktop.
He motions to Lily.
"What?" Lily asks confused.
"The house is finally empty, it's just you and me and it's about to get really hot and steamy upstairs" Rick finally explains cryptically.
"O-k, you'll have told me if the heat melted your brains, wouldn't you." she explains.
Rick walks over and kisses her passionately, they then break apart and Rick picks her up and carries her upstairs.
She whispers something in his ear and she giggles like a little school girl.
………………………………….
Eli and Grace are walking down the street, Eli slightly ahead of Grace who still has her nose in the book.
"You know, this is extremely embarrassing" he blurts.
"Well no one told you to come out with me" she whispers angrily.
Eli looks puzzled "No I'm talking about walking around having no where to go."
"Oh" Grace whispers without looking from the book.
An uncomfortable silence forms between the two as their walk along the street in search of some where to go. Eli takes advantage of the silence, so he can look at her. Her hair had now grown past her shoulders; she was wearing a sarong type gypsy skirt with a blue tank top. Her 'lonely' brown eyes were scanning the page and because her hair was tied up into a loose plait strands of her hair continued to fall into her eyes. Whenever Eli wanted to push it back for her, she would push it behind her ear impatiently.
"Let's go to the beach." Grace erupted.
"Ok" Eli replies happily.
Grace B&W "I don't know why I suggested the beach, I don't know anyone… and Eli constantly has a gaggle of girls around him giggling like brainless Barbies… but I just wanted him to stop staring"
