B: Hey, Adam
A: Hey, Bev. Ciara
C: Why are you alone? Where’s David? Out with his girlfriend? (Smirking with naughtiness)
A: (Looking at Ciara confusingly) Umm, you know him. He’s too smart to do his homework, saying it’s a “life distractor” (making finger quotations) or some sort like that.
B: Or he’s trying to give you some lone time, since you’ve been workaholic and putting on your grind set. (Raising eyebrow seductively)
(Beverley and Ciara putting their hands on Adam’s shoulders and his right arm)
A: Hey, hey, hey, hey. (Anxious response) Why are you guys doing? I’m fine, if that’s what you asked.
C: (Massaging his right arm) Don’t be nervous, Adam. We’re just easing the tension. (Soft seductive chuckled)
