(Meanwhile, AJ is at Howie’s house)
(Doorbell)
Howie: (opening up the door) Hey AJ! Welcome back man!
AJ: Thanks. Can I come in?
Howie: Suuuuure…come on in. (Lets AJ in)
AJ: (looks around Howie’s place to find it completely messed up) Wow…you’ve been having fun trashing your house?
Howie: It’s not trashed…it’s the latest style in house decorating.
AJ: How, you need help. Wanna talk about it?
Howie: Not really.
AJ: Tough! You had a major fight with Sandra at my wedding…I need an explanation. And I want it now!
Howie: (sigh) Sit down…it’s gonna take awhile.
AJ: Ok. (Walks over to the cough and pushes off empty pizza boxes to sit down) Man…you need to hire a maid or something…this is just sick.
Howie: I messed up.
AJ: I’d say…I almost sat on empty pizza boxes!
Howie: Nooo…with Sandra.
AJ: How did you do that?
Howie: During a interview we were doing for the charity event…some news reporter asked me if I had a girlfriend…I said no…and that hurt her.
AJ: Yea…and?
Howie: So, at the event…I felt I should keep up my rep as being a single man…so I sort of made out with this girl.
AJ: YOU IDIOT!
Howie: I know…I know…we pretended to be together so we didn’t ruin your wedding…but we wound up doing that anyway…I’m sorry dude.
AJ: You didn’t have to do that you know. You could have told us.
Howie: (stands up and walks around) I know we should’ve, but we couldn’t. You have to understand that.
AJ: (silence for a moment) So…what now?
Howie: I don’t know. Sandra hates me. I don’t know what to do anymore.
(Meanwhile, with Alexa)
(Phone rings)
Elena: Hello?
Brian: Where’s my woman?
Elena: And hello to you too Brian. Hold on. ALEXA! It’s a southern hick.
Alexa: (picks up the extension in her room) Hi Bri. Got it Lane. (Elena hangs up)
Brian: I am NOT a southern hick!
Alexa: I know. So what’s up?
Brian: What are you doing tomorrow night?
Alexa: Tomorrow night…hmmmmm…I don’t think I’m doing anything.
Brian: Well then…you are now. How about dinner with me?
Alexa: Do I have too?
Brian: Yes…besides I have a very special surprise for you.
Alexa: Oh really. What is it?
Brian: If I told you then it wouldn’t be a surprise.
Alexa: Can you give me a hint?
Brian: It’s something small…and I know you are going to LOVE it.
Alexa: Well then. I’ll see you tomorrow.
Brian: I’ll be by at around 5 to pick you up.
Alexa: Til then.
Brian: Love you Lex.
Alexa: Love you too Brian. (They hang up)
