Part 5:
[Julio, Santi, Deki and Pupi are vacationing in a remote corner of Italy. They are on a road trip]
Santi:    Look at the landscape! Even in winter, it’s beautiful.
Pupi:     *glances out of the passenger side window* Nothing compared to Argentina, though.
S& J:    *nod* Yeah, yeah.
Deki:    *feels left out* You know, in Serbia, we have…
J:          *yells out to the car in front* Watch out, you idiot! *honks horn* If the road wasn’t so narrow I’d overtake him already!
D:         *sighs and leans back on the seat*
S:         *pats him*
P:         Don’t drive too close to the shoulder, Julio. There’s a lot of nails and gravel, you might get…
[Suddenly there is a slight bump and the back of the passenger side -where Deki is sitting - becomes a little uneven compared to the rest of the car.]
P:         *sigh* …a flat tire.
J:          *whines* Oh, are you serious? *pulls over to the shoulder*
P:         All right, I guess we’d better put the spare tire on. *notices Julio and Santi’s alarmed expressions* You have one, don’t you, Julio? Santi?
J:          *covers his eyes* I was having it repaired, and I forgot to put it back in the car!
[Pause]
P:         *purses his lips* OK…we’ll just call for help. *takes out his phone* [pause] Anybody have reception here?
[Everyone looks at their phone and shake their heads.]
S:         I think I saw a rescue phone about two minutes back, maybe we could call from there.
P:         We can’t all go, though, some of us have to stay with the car. *runs a hand over his hair* Julio and I will go. You guys stay here with the car.
[Pupi and Julio get out of the car and start walking.]
D:         So…*glances at Santi*
S:         *takes a book out of his backpack on the floor of the car*
D:         Do you have anything for me?
S:         Well, I still have these male enhancers you wanted…
D:         *snatches them; laughs nervously* No, I mean something to read?
S:         *looks in his bag* Sorry, nothing you’d be interested in.
D:         *indignant* Well, what do you have? Give me a little credit!
S:         OK, *slight smile* Do you want Othello or A Doll’s House?
D:         *hesitates* No pictures?
S:         No, sorry, no pictures.
D:         Never mind, then. *sighs*
S:         *starts reading*
D:         *puts his head on Santi’s shoulder*
[Silence]
 D:        Santi?
S:         Mm-hm? *turns the page*
D:         How long have they been gone?
S:         *glances at his watch* About five minutes. *goes back to reading*
D:         *groans* Talk to me.
S:         *Eyes on his book* About what?
D:         Whatever. I’m really bored.
S:         Why don’t you start something? *flips the page*
D:         *thinks for a moment* *takes his head off Santi’s shoulder; speaks in a casual tone* You know, Julio’s always talking about you.
S:         *Eyes halt on the page* Is he?
D:         Yeah, it’s always ‘Santi this’ and ‘Santi that’; “Don’t do that because Santi’s coming”, or “What if Santi see this?”
S:         *very curious, no longer reading, but keeps book open* Are you sure Julio wants you to tell me that?
D:         *shrugs* Well, he never said, “Don’t tell Santi!”
S:         *chuckles* Touché. [Deki is confused.] Never mind. What else?
D:         *pleased at his successful attempt to get Santi to talk* *innocent tone* I don’t want to interrupt your reading.
S:         No, no, it’s OK. It’s getting too dark to read, anyway. *closes the book*
D:         It’s like you’re always first on his mind. *eye contact* How do you do it?
S:         Oh, *looks down, blushes a little* I don’t do anything…
D:         I’m sure you’re an incredible kisser *stares at Santi’s lips*
S:         Gosh, Deki, stop it! *hits him playfully with the book*
D:         Ask me how I know that. *grin*
S:         You didn’t hear it from Julio, did you?

D:         Would he know about this? *raises eyebrows*
S:         Um, *bites lip, deeper blush -not obvious in the dusk atmosphere* It was a long time ago…before he became a star player.

D:         You dog, you! *punches Santi’s shoulder playfully*

S:         *chuckles, then sighs*

D:         Would you mind giving me a sample?

S:         *looks up at him, not sure if he’s serious*

D:         I’m sorry, that didn’t come out right. *facepalms* [Santi laughs] I meant, I want to taste your tong- I mean, Julio can’t be wrong, if he’s so crazy about you…

S:         *looks down*

D:         Please?

S:         All right, just one, and don’t go telling people about it.

[Their heads slowly come together, and as their lips touch, they gradually get more into it. Julio and Pupi are walking back, and see them kissing in the car.]

J:          *gasps* *looks at Pupi* Should we do anything?

P:         Yeah, never leave anyone alone in a car with Deki, no matter how sensible they are!
