Maya sits on the arm of the sofa as the guy lays flat on the sofa.
MAYA- Did I wake you? I'm sorry.
HAZEL- It's fine I feel like I've hardly seen you, you been so busy.
Hazel starts to turn on the light. Maya does a fake yawn.
MAYA- I'm actually going to bed. So-
HAZEL- Look I know we don't talk about the S name guy but I want you to know it's okay to just let it out.
Maya smiles and nods.
MAYA- Trust me I'm trying too.
Hazel hugs her tightly
HAZEL- Okay we'll talk in the morning. Good night.
MAYA- good nightttt.
Hazel walks into her room and Maya quickly pulls the guy by his shirt.

They begin to kiss and Maya pushes him on the bed.
INT. MAYAS ROOM - MOMENTS LATER
They've finished having sex and the guy is getting dressed.
GUY- this actually worked out, you live hella close to my brother.
MAYA- I don't need to know that. But thanks for the sex. I'll show you out.
He laughs a little.
GUY- was that just bad or?
MAYA- No it was cool.
MAYA V.O- Men can never handle being told they gotta go but they also don't want to handle if a woman stays a little bit longer than they expected. It's never any fair wins with them.
GUY- So why are you kicking me out?
MAYA- I don't need anything else from you.
He looks at Maya confused, that hurt. Maya nods her head.
