Rafael: Hey Morena.

Morena: Hi Rafael. It's good to see you...

Rafael: (looks down) Yeah.

Morena: (sighs) I thought you wouldn't come. You know, Concerning what happened between us.

Rafael: I was just being childish and stupid, Love can't be forced. I should've understood that earlier.

Morena: Its fine.

Rafael: I brought something for you - Chocolate turtles.

Morena: Wow, My favorites! Thank you very much.

Alicia: Hey bro

(Andrew gives her a fist bump)

Andrew: I heard what happened between you and Cecilia.

Alicia: (angrily) If not for Rafael, That bitch would have been a goner...

Andrew: Woah.

Alicia: She's lucky she got off work early yesterday and I got off work late, If not, I would've trailed that bitch home and MURDERED her!

Andrew: (laughs)

Alicia: Why the fuck are you laughin'? I ain't got no time for no jokes bro! I'm damn serious!

Andrew: (notices her seriousness) Ohh...

Alicia: Anytime I set my eyes on that girl, I just feel like killin' her! That's how much I fucking hate that bitch!

Andrew: Calm down Alicia, You know you're just starting to open up to the rest of us and you're actually quite jovial and I don't want you to go back to jail.

(Alicia remains silent as she swallows her anger)

Andrew: (pats her) I need to go now, Don't worry, We'll talk later.

Alicia: No problem bro...

Juanita: (scornfully) Why do I have to do it? Can't Juan carry her things to her room? After all, He's the boy!

Aunt Maria: Juanita! What's wrong with you?!

Juanita: (unapologetic) I'm sorry...

Aunt Maria: Sorry for yourself! Take those things to the room!

(Juanita grumbles as she takes Morena's things to her room)

Uncle Roberto: (To Aunt Maria) Well this is your fault. You've over pampered her.

Aunt Maria: (looks down without saying anything)

Uncle Roberto: (To Morena) Are you hungry?

Morena: Actually...

Aunt Maria: Don't worry my dear, I already have your favorite meal prepared.

Morena: I know but most of my clients will be waiting.

Uncle Roberto: Well you have to put your health first.

Morena: (chuckles) Uncle, I'm very sure I'm better now.

Uncle Roberto: If you insist. Just don't forget to take your medications.

Morena: Yes sir.

Aunt Maria. Dinner's ready!

(She drops numerous pans of foods on the dinner table)

(That evening)

(At Chuks restaurant)

(In Mr Rodriguez office)

Cecilia: Good evening sir.

Mr Rodriguez: Good evening Cecilia. Is there a problem?

Cecilia: Yes sir, A big one. And I'll need about $10,000 to solve it.

Mr Rodriguez: (shocked) $10,000?

Cecilia: Yes sir.

Mr Rodriguez: I'm sorry Cecilia but I can't grant your request. I don't want to have issues with the CEO

Cecilia: (sadly) Awwwnn.... (smiles) Don't worry, I know exactly what can change your mind.

(Cecilia stands up and seductively walks towards him)

Mr Rodriguez: No Cecilia, We can't do that. We're at the office.

(Cecilia ignores him and massages his back)

Mr Rodriguez: (sternly) Cecilia stop!

Cecilia: (notices his stern look) Ohhh...

(Cecilia goes back to her chair)

Cecilia: (enraged) But this is unfair. I deserve this! After all we're the ones making money for the CEO....

(Just then, Alicia barges into the office)

Alicia: (To Cecilia) Bitch. Get out.

Cecilia: I should get out? Why?

Alicia: Why? Well since I'm gonna have to answer that fuckin' dumb question - because Rodriguez is my boyfriend!!!

Cecilia: (shocked) What?

Alicia: Yeah that's right bitch. And I don't wanna ever see you near him again! So if you know what's good for you, You better get the fuck out of this damn office on the count of three, One!

Cecilia: (angrily) So Rodriguez, You've been sleeping with me even while you've been dating this streetfighter?

Alicia: Two!

Mr Rodriguez: Cecilia I can explain....

Cecilia: I can't believe this...

Alicia: GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE! STUPID BITCH!!!

(Cecilia angrily exits the office and she slams the door behind her)

Alicia: (To Rodriguez) Wow. So the rumors are true? You been havin' an affair with Cecilia all these time?

Mr Rodriguez: (sighs) it's not what you think....

Alicia: Ohhh, It ain't what I think? Well since I can't turn back the hands of time, We just gon' continue from where we stopped...

Mr Rodriguez: Alicia, I want us to break up. I'm tired!

Alicia: (laughs) You tired? Because of that Cecilia bitch?

Mr Rodriguez: Cecilia or not. I'm tired of our relationship. I mean, I asked you out because I thought you were a gentle and elegant lady not knowing you were a crazy psycho....I'm tired!

Alicia: (laughs) So now you wanna break up with me? Have you forgotten you the one who disvirgined me?

Mr Rodriguez: So? We were just having fun. Besides, You don't think I'm eventually gonna marry you?

Alicia: (boldly) Oh yeah that's right. You gon' marry me!

(Mr Rodriguez stares at her in shock)

Alicia: And I'mma give a stern warnin' concernin' your damn lustfulness towards Cecilia and this is gon' be that LAST TIME... (angrily) Rodriguez! I don't wanna ever see you with that Cecilia bitch again and if I ever see you near her....(she bangs her fist on his table) You gon' go to the light!
