Episode 10

Liam swallows hard.

*LIAM* - Do you need anything, sir?

Evan pulls him into a small room there, a pantry.

Liam gets nervous.

*LIAM* - S-sir Arantes?

Evan kisses his neck.

*EVAN* - Just a little, please.

Liam suddenly feels his heart saddened, feeling used and distressed.

He then pushes the alpha away.

*EVAN* - Don't you want to?

With trembling hands, he speaks.

*LIAM* - You should think about the consequences of this.

*EVAN* - Why? Do you think I'm going to get fired?

Evan laughs.

Liam, however, kept a serious and sad look.

*LIAM* - You're a married man, so forget about me.

Liam leaves irritated.

Evan is surprised and gives a slight smile at the corner of his mouth.

Liam continues his search for the kitchen until he finally finds it.

*LIAM* - God, I asked not to see him again, it's so frustrating. What did I do to be so punished?

The smaller man's eyes were watering.

He was deeply hurt.

Evan in his office looked out the window at the busy street.

ROMAN- I thought you were a busy man.

EVAN- And I am.

ROMAN- Looking at the street so carefree?

Evan sighs and sits on the sofa there.

ROMAN- What's wrong? I know you well enough to know that something is bothering you.

Evan looks at him and then looks out the window.

*EVAN* - Explain to me what it's like to be in love.

Roman looks at him in surprise and then laughs.

*ROMAN* - I think I misheard you.

*EVAN* - If you're going to make fun of me, leave.

*ROMAN* - I'm just surprised, cut me some slack.

*EVAN* - I'm not in love, just curious.

Roman laughs discreetly and begins to speak.

*ROMAN* - Well, in my experience, falling in love is feeling your heart race, butterflies in your stomach, no matter what you're doing, your thoughts will always be with that person, you will smile like an idiot thinking about him and you will feel an immense joy when you see him, you will want kisses, touches, caresses and feel his scent and warmth all the time, and.......

*EVAN* - Okay, I get it.

*ROMAN* - Tell me, who is the blessed being, clothed in glory, who has lassoed your heart of stone?

*EVAN* - No one lassoed anything, I just wanted to be informed.

*ROMAN* - And why didn't you research it?

*EVAN* - I trust you more.

*ROMAN* - Aww, you're making me emotional 😍.

*EVAN* - You idiot.

Evan sighs and sits back in his chair.

.

The end of the workday finally arrived.

*LIAM* - Thank God, more money secured.

He gathers his things and puts them in the car.

He was driving and enjoying some good music,

but the joy soon fades when he feels a tremor in his car.

*LIAM* - No way, what the hell did I do wrong in life?

He pulls over to the side of the road and gets out of the car.

The tire had a flat.

He takes a deep breath and tries to control himself, picking up his cell phone.

*LIAM* - This is exactly what I pay insurance for.

He tries to call the insurance company, but soon gets stressed again, there was no network signal.

Putting his hands to his head and pulling his hair, he cries.

*LIAM* - Jesus, I didn't throw stones at your cross, because I wasn't even there, so why do I have to go through all this? What did I do, damn it?

He whimpers and tries to control his emotions.

His day really wasn't going well, much less his heart.

*LIAM* - Okay.

He opens the trunk and takes out a jack.

*LIAM* - Great, I have everything I need, now all I need to know is how to change the damn tire.

He laughs in despair and begins to cry.

He didn't know if he was angry or sad, or both.

*LIAM* - What's wrong with me, all I can think about is that idiot and I just want to cry.

The cars passed and no one stopped to help, until a black Lincoln with tinted windows stopped.

Liam dries his tears and focuses on the person getting out of the car, he was wearing an expensive black suit, he was tall and strong and his dress shoes were shining clean, and dark glasses matching the whole look.

*LIAM* - Great, that's all I needed right now.

*EVAN* - Need a little help?

With a smile on his face he approaches.

The beta takes a deep breath controlling so many emotions inside him.

*LIAM* - Do you know how to change a tire?

*EVAN* - I can do anything.

The alpha takes off his jacket.

*EVAN* - Can you hold this, please?

*LIAM* - I just want to know if this is going to be very expensive.

*EVAN* - We'll talk about payment later.

Liam sighs and embraces the alpha's jacket.

Evan then changes the tire.

.

.

.

*EVAN* - There you go.

*LIAM* - Thank you, I thought I wouldn't get out of here today.

The alpha laughs.

*LIAM* - How much will you charge, you can deduct it from the cleaning.

Evan approaches and comes face to face with the beta.

*LIAM* - Y-you're too close.

*EVAN* - You can pay me tonight, or here and now.

Liam swallows hard and shivers.
