The Elephant in the Room

Dean and Halle have been catching up on each other's day.  She tells him about the incident with Brandy, but was still unsure if she wanted to ask him if there was some truth to what Brandy had said.

 

Dean- "You know she's just trying to get under your skin."

Halle- "Yeah, I know."

Halle- "It was just so bizarre how she showed up in the garage like that."

Dean- "That is kinda crazy."

Dean grabs Halle's hand, while turning to face her- "Babe..."

Dean- "For the record, nothing ever happened between Brandy and I."

Halle- "Babe, you didn't have to-"

Dean- "You wanted to know."

Halle- "Well...you're right, a part of me did want to know."

Dean- "So, does that part of you feel better?"

Halle- *smile* "You have no idea."

 

She leans over to give him a kiss and they fall back on the bed.

Dean- "Halle, know that if you have something to ask me, ask me...big or small."

Halle- "I will."

 

After a few more hours of hanging out, they kiss and say good-night.

Amber Needs A Favor

Halle has just gotten off the phone, ordering new inventory, when Amber walks into her office.

 

Amber- "Hey Halle, I'm sorry for showing up like this."

Halle- "That's okay.  Are you feeling better?"

Amber- "No, I was hoping you could do me a favor."

Halle- "What's that?"

Amber- "Give me a job?"

Halle- "Oh, I'm-"

Amber- *starts to cry* "This is so humiliating.  Why would he ruin everything?!"

Halle- "Amber, please don't cry, everything will be fine."

 

Amber- "I won't sign!...or maybe I should."

Halle- "Have you gone over the prenup with your lawyer?"

 

Amber- "No..."

Halle- "Maybe you should do that before making a final decision."

 

Amber- "I can do that."

Halle- "Good."

Halle- "Now, do you have any experience as an assistant?"

Amber- "I'm a fast learner."

Halle- "Well, things have gotten a bit busy around here and I could really use one."

 

Amber- "I'm your girl."

Halle- "Welcome to the team."

A Few Days Later at The Waverlys

It's around 10 in the morning and Halle's taking another look at the blueprint from a recent house tour.

 

 

Dean enters the kitchen.

Dean- "Still checking out the house, huh?"

 

Halle- "Yeah, just giving it another look over before I tuck it away."

Dean- "Are you having a change of heart?"

Halle- "Oh, no."

Dean- "So, we're still holding off?"

Halle- "Yeah, that's what we agreed on...well, at least until we're able to see more."

Dean- "Cool."

Halle- "So, where are you off to?"

Dean- "Meeting with Jessie down at the bar."

Halle- "Is everything okay?"

Dean- "Yeah, we're just gonna be going over some things for the business."

Halle- "Okay, well, tell him I said hello."

Dean- "Will do."

Halle- "Are you still going to be able to make it tonight?"

Dean- "Absolutely, I wouldn't be anywhere else."

Halle- *smile* "Thank you."

 

Dean leans in to give her a kiss.

 

Halle and Dean share a deep kiss and Dean begins to get a little carried away.  Halle has to remind him...

Halle- "Babe, we have a guest in the house."

Dean- "Oh, that's right."  Reluctantly releases her, "I'll see you tonight."

Attending to the Apartment

Halle and Dean spend most of the late afternoon into the early evening putting up wallpaper.

 

Halle- "What do you think?"

Dean- "I like it."

Halle- "You don't think it's too bright?"

Dean- "No, it looks good.  They both do."

Halle- "So, all we have left is to wait for the delivery."

Dean- "We have some time to kill before they get here."

Halle- *smile* "Is that right?"

Dean- "Hmm mmm."

 

Halle leans in, kisses him softly from cheek to cheek and then...

 

The doorbell rings.

Dean- "They can come back."

Halle- "Yeah, we don't really need a refrigerator."

Dean- *smile* "I'll be right back."

 

Dean opens the door for the delivery of their new refrigerator, kitchen table and cabinets.

 

Thirty minutes later...

Halle- "We're done!"

Dean- "Looks good", as he pulls her close to him.

Dean- "Now, where were we?"

Halle and Dean Square-Off

The Waverlys spend some quality time at the bowling alley.

 

 

Dean rolls and knocks down all, but four pins.

 

Dean- "What?!"

Halle- "Oh babe."
 

Dean- "I got it, piece of cake."

 

Halle- "Yeah, good luck with that."

 

Dean smiles, turns around and attempts to knock down the four remaining pins.

 

 

He knocks down two.

 

Dean- "Aww, come on!"

 

Halle- *teasingly* "Let me show you how it's done."

Dean- "Be my guest."

 

STRIKE!!

 

Halle- "Woohoo!"

Halle- "Well well well, that's two in a row."

Dean- "These shoes are way too tight."

Halle- "*giggle* "Oh, the excuses."

Dean- *grin* "Seriously, well done", then he steals a kiss.

Dean- "Let's get out of here."

Halle- "Okay."
