4 Moving in love.

Last night was the best night of Lucas' life, though he didn't get to bang her, still, that was an achievement. Eliza woke-up and sees Lucas already cooked everything as he puts on the pot of rice at the table.

"Oh hey, come let's eat," he said.

"Wow, looks delicious," she said.

"Really? Thanks," he said.

Eliza started to eat.

"You're a really good cook," she said. "Will you come and live with me?"

Lucas stops for a moment.

"Isn't this too fast?" he asked.

"No, I really needed someone to come live at my condo to split the rent because I'm kind of running low on money," she answered.

Eliza looking down and pathetic as she realizes what he's asking of him.

"Ok, I'll live with you," he said.

"Really?" she asked.

"Yes, where do you live anyway?" he asked.

They arrive at the building she was living in.

"Woah! you live here?" he asked.

"Yeah, let's go," she said.

They're inside Eliza's condo, she gives Lucas a tour.

"This is the living room," she said.

"Wow, it's neat," he said.

"The kitchen is over there," she said.

Eliza takes his hand as they walk towards a hallway.

"This is going to be your room, the next one is an empty studio room which I don't know what to make of it," she said.

"Ok, so where's your room?" he asked.

She smiles at him.

"It's behind the TV there," she said.

"May I see it?" he asked.

"No! I mean no... I haven't cleaned up yet," she said.

He smiles at her.

"It's ok I'll clean it for you," he said as he walks towards her room. She tries to stop him by grabbing his arm and shirt.

"No! please, ugh! damn, you're strong," she said.

He opens the door and sees it's pretty messed up.

"Woah! did the hurricane came in here?" he reacted and laughed.

She pinches Lucas' love handles. He flinches...

"Ouch!" he shouted.

He looks at her smiling as she's smiling. They kissed and gets on her bed and had sex for the first time as we enter Lucas' mind to what he has to say as they continue to make love;

'Seeing you laugh,

Seeing you smile,

The world just made sense for a while.

As we enter this world,

nothing could stop my words.

Dear Eliza when you smile,

I forget my problems I'm beguiled.

Bewildered, be wild.

I just can't get enough of her,

but sadly this isn't real is it?

this is just the blue cosmo I'm still living.

When am I gonna wake up from this zone,

I'm afraid to leave her you know.

Here's to hoping that this is reality,

I've never felt guilty.

Now I know what it feels like to love,

and to fail.

Even if everything isn't real right now,

I hope Eliza's still with me,

and will love me somehow.'

Lucas and Eliza laying against the wall at the last party they had as they wake up. Seeing Lucas' face as he feels devastated. After all this time, he was trying to sway Eliza in another reality...
