I have feelings for you
It's Thursday evening at the Adam's massion. People are present and the house is in a party mood. KBL can be seen together discussing.
Becca: I know more things about Nigeria now and I can tell you if you want to hear.
Kris: The Nigerian guy told you
Becca: Yes, when we were having a cup of coffee.
Lucy: You were on a date with him?
Kris: I knew there was something happening or about to happen between you too
Becca: It was just a friendly meeting….
(Kira, the actress enters)
Kira: Hi
Lucy: Hello
Becca: (Fuming) What do you want?
Kira: Um nothing, don't be so defensive!
I just came to say Hello to Kris
Hi, K.
Kris: Hey Kira, what's up?
Kira: Wanna grab some drink with me over there, at my table?
I will tell my friends to scat.
Kris: I'm good here
Kira: Just a drink, you can come back to your friends.
Becca: Oh, our parents need us. Let's go meet them Kris
Kira: I didn't hear anything?
Becca: They waved, you didn't see them.
(Holds Kris In his arms) Let's go.
Lucy:. Alright
(They go to meet their parents)
Becca: Hi parents
Tabitha: Look, the teens want to hang out with their old fashioned parents.
Lucy: C'mon don't say that. (They sit with them)
Mr Adams: I'm surprised you came, Kris
Kris: They dragged me here
Mr Green: Well, how's it going?
Lucy: Did you just use a catchphrase, Dad?
Mrs Green: Yeah, that's what's up
Becca: They don't seem old fashioned anymore
(They laugh)
Mr Adams: We said it!
You children call us old-fashioned in our backs
Lucy: Oops!
Becca: Bursted!
(They all laugh again)
Ela: (Enters) Big brother, can you come help me with something please?
Kris: What's that?
Ela: I can't find my doll
Kris: You can't find her later.
Ela: No!
I wouldn't be able to sleep without her.
Kris: Tell the maids or the butler to find it for you
Ela: No, I want you to find it for me
Lucy: Let me help you, Ela.
Ela: Thank you.
At least you understand while my brother doesn't!
(Lucy leaves with Ela)
Kris: Did she just indirectly say that I don't care?
Tabitha: She sure did
Kris: I am coming, Ela. (Leaves)
Tabitha: I'm sorry Mr Green that Lizzy couldn't come to your party
Mr Green: It's fine, I understand.
College and everything.
Becca: (to herself) Now, I'm stuck with these oldies.
In the twins's room
Ela: I was playing with her hair here on the bed
Lucy: Are you sure that's where you had her last?
Ela: I don't know, all I can remember is playing with her on the bed.
Lucy: Okay, how about we check around the bed and under?
Ela: Okay. (They begin to look for it)
Kris: (Enters) You just like disturbing people don't you?
Why didn't you just ask one of the maids to help you look for your doll?
Ela: Scolding isn't appreciated this time, big brother.
Help me find her, that all I ask
Ena: (Enters) Ela! Our friends are here!
Ela: (Stands up happily) Really?
Ena: Yes.
Were you doing anything before?
Ela: Let's go. (About to Leave)
Kris: You are leaving us here?
Ela: Help me to look for her please.
Thank you, love you. (Runs off with Ena)
Kris: Can you imagine that?
Lucy: (Chuckles) Let's just look for it and leave here too. (They both check under the bed)
Maid: (Couldn't see them inside, locks the room and leaves)
Kris: What the?!?
(Shouts) Hey! Open the door!
Lucy: Oh no!
Kris: She's far gone.
Lucy: Are we going to stay here forever?
Kris: (Laughs) Forever, seriously L?
The twins are going to go to bed soon, their father gave them an hour after their bedtime.
We will be out of here soon
Lucy: (Brings out her phone and checks the time) Only two hours.
Kris: Lucy, your phone!
Lucy: Oh yeah!
Lemme call Becca to help us outta here. (Tries to call but it's not connecting)
No network, no bar at all!
Kris: And I left my phone back at the party.
It's probably down anyways.
Lucy: Let's just wait till there's a network again. (They sit on Ena's bed)
Kris: (After minutes of silence) You remember when we were little?
When we played dates?
Lucy: Alone or the three of us together
Kris: Alone
Lucy: Oh yeah, you mean the time when your Mom was to be with us and she left?
Kris: Yes, when we got locked like this in my room
Lucy: (Laughs) Chuka Chaka Chuka
(Both laugh)
Kris: You started to make me fear.
You lied that if you get locked down in a room, you turn all evil and witchy.
Lucy: I did that as a punishment though
Kris: Just because I ate from your chocolates?
Lucy: Yeap
Kris: (Laughs) You scattered your hair and started pretending like a blue eyed witch
Lucy: No, no.
I was pretending like a beautiful and evil mermaid
Kris: You wanted to eat me!
Until one of the maids opened the door
Lucy: And I would have eaten you
Kris: What?!
Lucy: (Laughs and scatters her) Chuka Chaka Chuka.
I will eat you now!
Kris: I'm all grown up, girl, I'm not falling for that.
Lucy: Chuka Chaka Chuka, I love it when my meal acts brave. (Advances towards him)
Kris: You look so cute right now.
Lucy: Chuka Chaka Chuka.
(Pounces on him). You dare not fear me?
Kris: (Rolls and with a twinkle of an eye is now on top of her, he looks into her eyes and they remain that way) You are so beautiful Lucy.
(Tries to kiss her and Lucy closes her eyes. He eventually withdraws and stands up)
Lucky you Blue eyed witch, I don't eat humans like you do.
Lucy: (Stupefied) Yeah, Lucky me (Sits)
Kris: (Sits back close to her)
There's something I wanna tell you, Lucy
Lucy: What's that?
Kris: I don't know why but I have this strong feelings towards you, I don't know what it is.
It's not bad but it's a good feeling.
I have always felt a little this way about you since we were kids but now, it's so strong that I don't understand.
Lucy: (At alert). You love me?
Kris: I don't know if it's love, I don't know love.
I mean, I know the type of love I feel towards Mom and my sister's but yours is different and strong.
Lucy: Like the way you feel for Becca?
Kris: No, I just have that friendly love towards her.
Lucy: You feel more than friendly towards me
Kris: Exactly.
Something…I don't know.
Becca: (Outside the door) Are you guys in here? (Knocks)
L, K?
(Lucy and Kris look at each other)
I have been in the party bored and stuck with the oldies.
You know I don't talk to other people
Are you guys here? (Knocks more)
Kris: We're here Becca, We're locked in.
Is the key with you?
Becca: It's in the door's mouth
Lucy: Open it!
Becca: (Opens the door) I just rescued you guys.
From now on, call me heroine
Lucy: Thank you, big mouth!
Becca: That's not how to thank someone.
Kris, no appreciation?
Kris: Thanks Becca.
(Kris and Lucy look at each other)
L, what I said just now, don't take it seriously.
It was a joke, you know, to keep us busy.
I have something to do at the penthouse.
See you guys at school. (Leaves)
Becca: Hmm,
Well, the party is somewhat boring so let's go home too.
(Lucy keeps quiet, abstracted)
Did you see the doll? (No reply)
Lucy?
Lucy: Um yeah, I mean, no, no.
I didn't, we did not.
Let's leave here, B
