Gia: (hesitates and then shakes her head) When do you want to meet for the next shoot?
Lucky: (hiding his disappointment) Monday?
Gia: All right. See ya then.
Lucky: See ya
~v~v~v~v~v~v~
(Monday after the photo shoot)
Lucky: (putting away his camera) You know what, Gia? So far these photos aren't turning out as well as I'd hoped.
Gia: (lowering her brow) What's wrong?
Lucky: (laughing internally at Gia's concern) It's not you. (he smiles)
Gia: (tilting her head and placing her hands on her hips) Uh huh. That's what they all say.
Lucky: (chuckling) Really, it's not you, it's me. . .
(Gia rolls her eyes taking her hands off her hips)
Lucky: (still chuckling as he moves towards her) . . . I just got out of a really tough relationship. . .
(Gia gives a small smile)
Lucky: (now less than two feet away) (taking Gia's hands in his) I just need some space
Gia: (laughing and playfully hitting him on the shoulder) You're such a dork
(Lucky cups her face in his hands)
Lucky: (with sad, puppy dog eyes) I'm just not ready for a relationship right now
Gia: (shivering at his touch) (quietly) relationship?
(Lucky removes his hands from her face and leans in to whisper in her ear)
Lucky: (whispering) YOU are wonderful. Its the sets
Gia: (squinting) the sets???
Lucky: (stepping back) (seriously) Gia, the sets suck
Gia: (nodding) Uh huh
Lucky: (cleaning up) Uh huh. . . AND I think we need to make some adjustments
Gia: What do you propose?
Lucky: (walking back over to her) I propose that we take our photo shoots to a whole new level
Gia: Forget it, Spencer. The clothes stay on.
Lucky: Whatever, Campbell. That's not what I had in mind. (smirks) Although. . . now that you mention it. . .
(Gia hits him again, but smiles)
Gia: So, what were you thinking?
Lucky: I was thinking that I take you out for a good time
Gia: (coughs, after she suddenly remembers to breathe) Excuse me?
Lucky: Well, like I said, the sets suck. And I was thinking we could liven them up by doing outdoor shoots. . . you know (in his best talk show host voice) GIA! In her natural habitat
Gia: (laughing) Whatever you say
Lucky: (slowly tracing his fingers up and down her arm) And, while we're out, maybe we can get to know each other better
Gia: (seductively) How much better?
