ACT FOUR
Scene fourteen

(Damon enters his apartment, takes a deep breath and checks the messages on his voicemail.)

Voicemail – Graham: Damon- hi, it’s me. I was just wondering if you’d gotten home safely. And I wanted to ask you if you could come over to my place sometime. I’ll…cook you dinner. Sleep tight, okay? Bye.
Damon, smiling: Graham, Graham, Graham. What do I do with you?
Voicemail – Liam: Hey, Damon. Call me back, alright?
Damon, trembling: Liam Gallagher… Oh god.

(Damon enters Liam’s phone number.)

Liam, with a super sweet voice: Hey.
Damon: …
Liam: Are you alright?
Damon: I guess.
Liam: Good.
Damon: Oh, what am I saying. I loved it, Liam. You’re the best.
Liam: Oh, really?
Damon: Yes!
Liam: You don’t regret it, do you?
Damon: No. I should, but I don’t.
Liam: Thank god. I was so hoping you’d say that.
Damon: …
Liam: …
Damon: I’ll never forget yesterday night. I’ll never forget you.
Liam: I think I’ve been lying. I told you I didn’t love you.
Damon, blushing: Wh-What?
Liam: You will visit me again, won’t you?
Damon: Eh- I don’t know…
Liam: Noel’s out next weekend.
Damon: I don’t know what to say.
Liam: Just say yes!
Damon: What about Graham?
Liam: Nobody’s ever going to find out. I promise you. And I won’t mention him again, if it makes you angry.
Damon: …
Liam: Pleeeaaaase?
Damon: Don’t you think we’d be having way too many fights?
Liam: Maybe. But you won’t stay long enough for me to get bored.
Damon: ...
Liam: C’mooon! I’ll do anything you want! I’ll treat you like a princess!
Damon, grinning: Weeeell…
Liam: Yes?
Damon: Alright then, Liam. You win.
Liam: Yes!!
