- I don't know.

He was just too nice

and too smiley

and always willing to help

if I needed anything, you know.

Anyway, it was me and him left

and we was doing vodka shots.

He stood up

to go to the bathroom

and he lost his footing

on the carpet.

He slipped and fell in my lap.

We just laughed

and rolled about on the floor.

Then we started kissing.

We joked it off after that,

but at Easter it happened again.

Then every holiday

or celebration after that,

we'd just get drunk

and play the game.

- What have I got myself into?

- At least you're going away.

That'll give you

some head space.

- Am I?

- Yes, you are.

David!

You bloody well are, even if

I have to drag you there myself.

We've been planning this

for years.

- We?

- You know what I mean.

It's not just your dream.

You've roped us all into this.

We all want it

just as bad as you do.

You getting out of this city

is like our little escape too.

It's not just about you

any more.

No pressure, like.

Honey, I'm sorry.

I know, I know,

it was unexpected.

I'm on call. I don't like it

any more than you do

but I have to go into the office

and sort out the mess

that someone else has made.

If I could come home I would,

you know that.

Jane, stop!

Listen, it's my job!

It's what pays the bills

and puts food on the table.

It's late, I'm tired,

and the last thing I want to do

right now is argue with my wife

about coming home to put

bloody milk in the fridge!

I... I'll be home

as soon as I can. OK?

OK.

Love you too.

Four pounds, please.

David here, you know what to do.

David, it's your mum.

You didn't come home last night.

Look, sweetheart,

I'm not checking up on you

cos I know you don't like that.

I don't like that. So I hope

you know I'm not doing that.

I just...

I want to see you're OK.

We can't have anything happening

to those prize feet, can we?

We need you in one piece

to start work come September.

Give me a call, my love,

as soon as you get this.

Please. I love you.

Hey, babe,

listen, everyone's going crazy.

I've had your mum and dad

on at me.

Even Jules has been on trying

to find out where you are.

Apparently you're not

picking up your phone

so they've asked me to try.

I haven't told them

I saw you leave with that guy.

I don't want

to get them worried,

but the longer

I keep it from them,

the more I put myself

in the sh*t.

Give me a call

as soon as you get this.

We're all worried here.

Love you.

- Tea?

- Erm, yeah.

No, erm...

Sorry. What's your...

Erm...

I'm Sam.

- Sorry.

- There's no need to be.

I made you a cup anyway.

- Thank you.

- You OK?

Yeah, why?

You look like a rabbit

caught in headlights.

No, I'm fine. It's just...

Got a load of voice messages

from home.

They're not used to me

staying out this late.

They think I've been kidnapped

or something.

You wouldn't realise I was 22.

Who says

you haven't been kidnapped?

- Well, have I?

- Maybe.

How's about we pick up from

where we left off last night?

I don't think

I've got the energy.

You had

plenty of energy last night.

I think I had a little help!

- What was that you gave me?

- I gave you? No, no, no, no.

From what I remember,

you snatched it from me.

- What was it?

- Methadrone.

Methadrone? Never heard of it.

- And a little bit of coke.

- Cocaine?

Don't sound so shocked.

- I'm not. It's just...

- Never done it before?

Oh, so you're not just

a sex virgin?

Alright, there's no need

to be like that.

There's no need to be ashamed.

I was a virgin till I was 22.

I'm not ashamed.

Who told you I was a virgin,

anyway?

You did.

Oh, God,

I can't remember a thing.

Oh, thanks!

No, don't worry. I was as gentle

as I needed to be.

I didn't want your first

experience to be a bad one.

I guess

I needn't have worried now.

What else did I say?

It was cool, it was all good.

We had fun.

You should let me

refresh your memory.

- Were we...?

- What?

Were we safe?

- I always play safe, buddy.

- Thank God!

But you're a virgin

so we're cool.

We used a condom, right?

I always use condoms usually,

but we didn't have any.

Oh, f***!

We were in the moment

and you said it was OK.

Remember? That's when you

told me. That's why we did it.

Look, don't worry.

I'm negative and I promise you

I always use condoms.

I got tested last month.

Plus I... pulled out before...

Are you gonna get that?

Are you avoiding someone?

I just don't want to talk

to anyone at the moment.

Well, they obviously

want to speak to you.

Maybe you should answer that.

- Hello.

- Address?

- Sorry?

- Address.

Look, I'm OK.

I said

give me the f***ing address.

I'll text it you.

That was short and sweet.

What?

Is everything alright?

Yeah. Good.

What's your address?

117 Belvedere Road, flat 2.

117 Belvedere?

- Are you OK?

- Yeah. Fine. It was Jules.

- Your boyfriend?

- No.

My dad. I've got to go.

Yeah. No worries.

I'm sorry.

Like I said, no worries.

I put my card

in your jeans just in case...

Just in case I want more drugs?

I'm a banker, not a drug dealer.

- Isn't that the same thing?

- Alright, smart arse.

No. Just in case

you want to come back.

You don't even know me.

I know enough to know

I'd like to get to know more.

Oh, yeah? How many times

have you used that line?

Oh. Where's all this coming

from all of a sudden?

Nothing.

I'm sorry, I'm not used to this.

Look, I'm not a player.

I'm too old for all that.

I just say it how I see it.

What do you see in me?

Have I not made that obvious?
