There is no us Alex
INT. A HOUSE IN ABUJA- NIGHT
(Alex and Rere sits at the dining table eating)
Rere: (smiling) I will confess, I miss your food
Alex: (smiling) of course you do
Rere: this is so delicious
Alex: thank you (holds her hand and started caressing it) so did you miss me Rere?
Rere: why are you so interested in that?
Alex: because I want to know if you miss as much as I you
Rere: am just going to take this plates to the kitchen (she carries her plate)
Alex: no (collects the plate from her) I will do that (he carries the plates on the table to the kitchen. Rere gets up and walks to the living room. She removes a file from her bag) so you said you need my help with something
Rere: (looks up and sees Alex come into the room) yes (stretches the file to him) I want you to check if there is a way out of this contract
Alex: okay (he collects the file and starts to reading. This expression changes from a plain look into a shocked one, then he looks up at Rere) what the hell are you and my father up to?
Rere: I didn’t ask for your criticism, I asked for a way out
Alex: why will my father sign this kind of a deal with a foreign company? This kind of deal exposes Nigeria to foreign threat, what was he thinking?
Rere: like I said before, I didn’t ask for your criticism, I asked for a….
Alex: (cut in sharply) a way out, yeah you mentioned that already. A bad contract apart, I am not working for my father (slams the file on the centre table in the living room)
Rere: you are not working for your father but me, I am your client not your father. So will you help me find a loophole?
Alex: contracts like this are legal binding, loopholes are going to be very difficult to find and that is if there is to find
Rere: but you are going to find one because you are my lawyer
Alex: (smiling) so I am your lawyer now
Rere: yes, you are and am sure you are happy to be
Alex: don’t be so sure of that
Rere: oh am 100% sure of that
Alex: (chuckle) alright, I will help you
Rere: I have to go (she picks her bag up)
Alex: not so fast (he stops her with his hand)
Rere: is there something else?
Alex: yes, us!
Rere: there is no us Alex, we broke up remember?
Alex: like I said before, you did, I didn’t break up with you
Rere: and like I said before, is there a difference?
Alex: Rere (looking serious) I love you and I know you still love me too
Rere: stop kidding yourself Alex, I don’t love you anymore. It is over between us (she starts to leave)
Alex: how about we put that to a test?
Rere: what? (Alex walks towards her slowly) what are you doing? (he moves faster, pulls her to himself and kiss her hard on the mouth. Rere tries to shake him off but she couldn’t, then she succumbs into his arms and starts to kiss him back. After few minutes Alex break the kiss but still holds Rere in his arm as he looks at her with hot passion in his eyes)
Alex: what did you say about not loving me anymore
Rere: how about you shut up and continue what you started (they continue kissing)
