after the meeting Mateo and bai are in the car, it's tense in here almost like the friction is overwhelming them both.
Mateo: it's like 10 pm it's getting dark do you want to go to your place or... we can go to mine.
bai's thoughts: OHMYGOD-
bai: sure, your place is fine.
Mateo: did you eat today?
bai: no I'm not hungry *stomach roars*
Mateo: so where do you want to eat?
*they both laugh*
bai: can we just get pizza delivered to your place?
Mateo: yes we can do whatever you want to do, and also you seem a little tense are you hurt?
bai: it's just my shoulder and like the side of my neck..... and my back-
Mateo: it's from that guy pushing you right?.. I'm gonna handle that later.
bai's thoughts: ohhhh shhhhh-
bai :are we almost there???
Mateo: such a whiney baby, we have 20 minutes left
bai: aw,
Mateo cranks up the radio and turns on some Smooth music bai starts to drift away swiftly into sleep.
* After 20 min bai wakes up because she feels something*
Mateo: I didn't want to wake you up you looked so peaceful so I'm carrying you.
bai: mkay *puts her head on his chest* Mateo
Mateo: hm?
bai: why are you so nice to me?
Mateo: bec-
bai: is it because of how I look?
Mateo: well-
bai: I feel like I'm always being used by someone because of my looks-
* Mateo puts bai down and looks her in the eyes*
Mateo: it's because... I love you
* he pulls her closer in the dead of night and kisses her passionately on the lips*
Bai: I- I love you too Mateo.
*they head into the house.
Mateo: I would never hurt you
Bai: I know
Mateo: I will never use you for selfish gains because you are the only one I want, okay?
Bai: *eyes are a little teary*
*Mateo sits on the couch and pulls bai into him with a hug*
Mateo: mine forever.
