PART 1: "I'm an introvert, just so you know."

Start from the beginning
                                        

Rocky: (chuckles softly) I won't, silly. So don't break mine.

Syd: (smiles) I promise. (Hugs her tighter)(sighs) So this is what 'save it for later' looks like.

Rocky: (looks at him) Huh?

Syd: You told me to save it for later on New Year's Eve, remember?

---Rocky snorts. And then she can't stop laughing.

Rocky: I'm so sorry Love. This is long overdue, I know. We became so busy after that. Plus, we actually have a house rule.

Syd: (chuckles) I know. The guys are just keeping a blind eye and let us sleep together provided that Yeo shouldn't know. I feel like we're high school students sneaking out.

Rocky: (laughs) I know.

Syd: (stares at her)(exhales) You look so lovely, Ms Harris.

Rocky: (smiles) Why thank you. And so how do I compliment you in return?

Syd: (thinks) Another round, maybe? (Naughty grin)

---Rocky laughs. Syd pins her to the bed again and kisses her. And so they went for another round. Syd stayed the night. Yeo's still not home anyway. Around 6AM.

Rocky: Hey. (kisses his nose) Wakey-wakey.

---Syd stretches in bed.

Rocky: Good morning. (smiles and gives him a smooch)

Syd: (smiles) Good morning. (hugs her) 10 more minutes.

Rocky: (chuckles) I still need to dry my hair and prepare breakfast, mister. Now get up and wash up now before the boys use the bathroom.

Syd: (groans) Ugh, right. (sits up and rubs his eyes) And I better sneak out before anyone notices.

Rocky: You better. (chuckles)

Syd: I'll see you later. I'll bring you to the office, okay? (smooch)

Rocky: Okay. (smiles)

---There's no one around when he went out of Rocky's room. But when he's about to enter their room, he's startled when AG opens the door first.

Syd: God! (shuts his eyes)

---AG smiles and taps his arm.

AG: Spent the night somewhere, bro?

---Syd smiles and blushes.

AG: Oh come on! You look like a lovesick puppy.

---Syd laughs.

Syd: I'm gonna go take a shower.

---Syd dropped Rocky to her office. Inside the car.

Rocky: (removes seatbelt) Thanks Love. Hey. (fixes his hair) Call me when your presentation is done okay? You got this. (winks)

Syd: (smiles) I will. Thanks Love.

---and then a familiar face passed by - Owen.

Syd: (scoffs) Why is that jerk here?

Rocky: (sighs) They asked representatives from the main office to attend today's meeting. Too bad he's one of them.

Syd: Just...be careful, okay? Call me if he bothers you again.

Rocky: Don't worry, Love. I'll be fine. So, (exhales sharply) Good luck to us today. (smiles)

Syd: (smiles) Yeah. You're gonna nail it for sure. (kissed her lips) I'll pick you up later. (kissed her lips again) I love you.

Rocky: I love you more. Hey drive safe. (steps out) See you later. (blows kiss)

Syd: See you. (winks)

---One day at the loft. It's the last week of June. Rain and Blake are working out when the doorbell rings.

Rain: (puts dumbbells down) I'll get it.

---When Rain opens the door.

Rain: Hey! (Smiles)

AK: Hey! (Smiles and about to hug him)

Rain: (steps backward) Whoa, (gestures a hug) I'd love to give you a hug, but I'm really sweaty right now. Come on in.

AK: Oh okay. (Chuckles)

Blake: (turns around) Hey AK! (Wipes off his sweat)(gestures) Flying hug! (Smiles)

AK: Oh that's nice! (Gestures a hug)

Rain: What brought you here? 'You want something to drink?

AK: Oh I'm good, thank you. I actually want to surprise Rocky, but (looks around) I don't think she's here.

Rain: Oh yeah, you just missed her. Their office called her again for an urgent meeting.

AK: Aww that's too bad. I'm leaving in 4 days so I really wanted to spend time with her. (Exhales) Anyway, I'll try my luck later then. But please don't tell her I dropped by, I'll give the surprise thing another shot. (Winks)

Blake: Aw, that's sweet. Sure, you can count on us.

---And then AG steps out of his room and seems like he's heading out. Rain hits Blake's arm.

Blake: But AG's here!

---They both turned their heads and saw each other.

AK: Oh hey! (Smiles)

AG: (smiles) Hi.

Blake: And I think he's heading somewhere. Bro, you might want to show AK around the city. You know, she's leaving soon and Rocky's not around today so-

AK: Oh no, no, no. It's fine. AG might be busy.

Rain: Oh he's not, trust me. (Winks) Right AG? (Smiles)

AG: Um...yeah, sure.

AK: 'You sure?

AG: Yeah. But I have to drop by the studio first, I hope that's okay.

AK: Oh cool! Can I have a mini tour there too?

AG: (chuckles) Okay. So, shall we? Oh, (sarcastic tone) and since my car's under repair, (grabs Blake's keys) ready to ride a Porsche? (Winks at Blake) We'll go ahead guys.

---Blake scoffs.

AK: I'll see you later guys!

2: Bye! Enjoy!

---Rain cracks up because AG suddenly took Blake's baby.

Blake: Ha-ha. I'm gonna take your car when I need to go later.

Rain: (can't stop laughing) AG's always savage.

---(MUSIC SCORE: RITUAL - WRABEL) AG brought AK to the studio first to give some work stuff and get some things from the office. He gave AK a studio tour and AK's just amazed at the whole setup they got in there. Some of AG's colleagues told AK that he plays the piano well and so they forced him to do so, but they didn't succeed. AG won't give in. And then they had lunch and visited a few landmarks; AG helped AK to do some shopping; they went to vintage record shops; checked some instruments out; and checked some cameras, too. Surprisingly, they're both into photography. AK kind of brought out the fun in him. He's just really a shy, blunt guy. And his bluntness amazes AK and makes her laugh so much. AK was able to convince him to play the piano in one music store and she took a video of him playing Moon River. They really had a blast and even agreed to go out again before AK goes back to London. Later that afternoon, Taylor and Yeo are home. Yeo and Blake are preparing some snacks for their football marathon. And it's the weekend so Blake made some nachos.

Taylor: (reading messages in their GC) Wow, looks like everyone's having a homey weekend tonight.

Blake: Cool, everyone's present!

---the doorbell rings.

Taylor: I'll get it.

---when he opened the door, a lady with a baby was standing in front of him.

Taylor: Lisa?
