Tension travels across the floor that separates the pair, as they stare awkwardly at each other. After a MOMENTARY loss of consciousness, the pair are brought back to their senses.
CHIOMA
You need to turn around so I can get dressed.
Femi, as a gentleman, without uttering a single word or nurturing a second thought, QUICKLY turns away, staring through the window again, at the Police van parked outside. He tries to observe what’s going on inside the van, but NOTHING. Femi’s attention is brought back to Chioma, as he stares at her from the back of his eyes. He goes into whirlwinds of thoughts.
DISSOLVE TO:
INT. MORTUARY, ST. NICHOLAS - EARLIER TODAY - FLASHBACK
The Mortuary Attendant lifts up the cloth covering, revealing the face of the body. Chioma falls to the ground. Femi quickly catches her. He takes a moment to admire her irresistible beauty.
FLASHBACK SEQUENCE CONTINUES
INT. ROOM 7, WING C, ST. NICHOLAS - YESTERDAY - FLASHBACK
Femi gently sits on the edge of Chioma’s hospital bed. He pulls her hand mildly in between his palms. Chioma’s eyes are fixed on Femi caressing her hand. She quickly pulls her hand away from his grip.
END OF FLASHBACK SEQUENCE
CUT BACK TO:
INT. BEDROOM, FEMI’S APARTMENT - CONTINUOUS
Femi is brought back to consciousness as Chioma REPEATEDLY calls out his name:
CHIOMA (O.S.)
Femi... Femi... Femi...
Femi slowly trains his sight upon Chioma. We can now see Chioma: dressed in a sexy SEMI-TRANSPARENT night dress that reveals shades of her curves. The gown is far above her knees, exposing her succulent thick thighs. Femi’s heart is racing fast. He clears his throat, and quickly catches his breath.
CHIOMA (CONT’D)
Where do I sleep?
