The scene opens up on the island like Plaka, an area known for some of the finest shopping and the beautiful pink leaves in bougainvillea. Amonte and Geon are shown walking down the stone walkway admiring the views, the two notice a vintage shop with some clothes they both like.
AMONTE JORDAN: Last night was fucking crazy, our first night in Greece and were already at each other’s throat, I’m just happy London wasn’t at the dinner to see the mess unfold because I’m sure he would have been upset about what went down. But today is a new day and I have a few issues that I need to get off my chest. I didn’t like how Geon questioned me regarding the issues my family is going through in front of everyone. As a friend I feel like that was some messy shit, so I’m going to give him an opportunity to explain why he did what he did and get some shopping done at the same time.
Amonte shakes his head.
AMONTE JORDAN: Not cool G
The scene cuts back to the two. Geon stops at a shirt he sees that he likes.
GEON TAYLOR: I can tell I'm about to drop a bag in this store already. This is dope.
He picks up the shirt and holds it up to himself. He then walks over to the closest mirror and poses, admiring the shirt.
GEON TAYLOR: Yeah...definitely grabbing this.
He looks over to Amonte, who is rather quiet
GEON TAYLOR: So Amonte called me this morning and told me he wanted to do a little shopping just the two of us. He knows I'm always down for that. And it'll feel good not being around the whole crew honestly. I don't think we will ever enjoy the trip if we're all in the same room.
The scene returns to the two.
GEON TAYLOR: So what's up man? You seem kinda off this morning. You good?
Amonte shrugs.
AMONTE JORDAN: I just don’t like how the first night went, it seems like everyone is pointing fingers at me and not acknowledging the other side and their actions, plus for whatever reasons people are so concerned about me, my family and my finances.
Amonte looks at Geon.
AMONTE JORDAN: Including you.
Geon looks shocked.
GEON TAYLOR: Wait, me? Oh so that's why you invited me out. I thought something seemed a little off. What do you mean me?
AMONTE JORDAN: You seem surprised, why? I think it was you that mentioned something about what’s going on with my family instead of asking me privately.
AMONTE JORDAN: Was it just me or was Geon having a blonde moment? I can’t believe he is standing here acting as if he didn’t announce to the group that my family is being accused of something that isn’t true. I’ve never asked Geon to not be friends with anyone else, but at least have respect for our friendship which has lasted years now. I don’t like it!
The scene cuts back the two. Amonte notices a lot of jeans to the side and he walks over and picks them up.
AMONTE JORDAN: Hmmm I should grab these.
Amonte tosses them over his shoulder and walks back over to Geon who still is kind of clueless to what is happening right now.
AMONTE JORDAN: I think as my friend you should know what you hear isn’t true, if me or my family were going through anything then I would reach out but nothing is going on.
GEON TAYLOR: I definitely wasn't saying anything was true bro. I'm sorry if that's what you though. But I was coming from a place of, people were talking and I felt like you should have known.
Geon stares blankly into the camera
GEON TAYLOR: Am I missing something here?
Producers: you don't see how this could have been done differently?
Geon pauses to think about the question.
GEON TAYLOR: Absolutely not. I mean. Especially if none of it is true. I would address it head on of people are lying on me behind my back. I would wanna make sure everyone knew the truth. I wouldn't be ashamed of I did nothing wrong. And I thought that's what this sitch was going to be. Because the blogs are lying according to him.
He sighs, pausing.
GEON TAYLOR: sheesh. I just thought we were going shopping.
He chuckles as the scene returns to the two.
GEON TAYLOR: Bro I just thought you should've known what they were saying behind your back. And if they were big and bad enough to say it behind you, they would have discussed it with you.
AMONTE JORDAN: All that sounds nice but it’s besides the point of you not coming to me directly before announcing it at the table. I get what your saying but do you honestly think I care about what the fucking Ramsey’s are talking about? I get they have delinquent bills all over the state of New York and I’m surprised they’re not out committing fraud trying to keep up with the lifestyle they simply can’t afford but to even ask that question about me is ridiculous.
Amonte shrugs.
AMONTE JORDAN: It would give the Ramsey’s so much pleasure to see a friend turn against me because they want everyone in their corner, all I’m asking is to speak to me directly instead of discussing it in front of the group. I can see if it was just my sister and Keon, but damn my man here and the opps were literally sitting on the opposite side of the table.
AMONTE JORDAN: I never thought I would have to question loyalty with Geon, but I’m at the point. I’ll let this little situation go but trust I have my eye on him.
The scene cuts back to the two.
GEON TAYLOR: But that's not gonna happen friend. I would never turn on you. Come on man. You know me. I guess I'm just different. So maybe my methods were wrong but my intentions were pure. Scouts honor bro.
GEON TAYLOR: I really didnt think it was that serious...But. Amonte has been through a lot..so I could understand how he's questioning everybody. But none of this is gonna put any money in my account so I'm not invested enough to be malicious. He should know that about me.
He shakes his head as the scene returns to the two.
AMONTE JORDAN: Well I just wanted to put it out there that I was bothered by the situation. But now that we talked about it I guess we can move forward.
GEON TAYLOR: I'm happy you came to me. If something like this happens again I'll make sure I pull you to the side.
Amonte notices a button up shirt with flowers and other print on it, he reaches for it and adds it to his collection of items he already has.
AMONTE JORDAN: There is so much I want to do on this trip, not only with my friends but I want some alone time with Nasir and then Keon is here with Yeshua, it’s like everyone is boo’d up.
GEON TAYLOR: definitely not everybody.
He chuckles, pointing to himself.
GEON TAYLOR: at least you have this Nasir. When yall do all the couple stuff, that's when I'm gonna go see the city.
AMONTE JORDAN: Well Geon you too could be in a relationship but the fact you let your career control your life I don’t see that happening.
GEON TAYLOR:That's what's most important forreal. I'll worry about all that when the time comes. I just wanna be solidified before I bring any of that around. And after seeing what everybody's been going through, I don't know man. T seems like I'm better off.
AMONTE JORDAN: I just want you to be a happy man, I didn’t think I was going to find happiness after what I went through with Cadence but Nasir has shown me something different and to be honest I wasn’t even looking for a relationship, it just kind of happened.
GEON TAYLOR: So it's official with you two? You seem to really like him. And that's good. Away with the past if it did you harm.
AMONTE JORDAN: Oh it’s official, I’m in love.
Amonte smiles hard. Geon shockingly smiles with him.
GEON TAYLOR: Love? Oh you are super serious. I hear that.
GEON TAYLOR: Did he say love?
He pauses. Shaking his head
GEON TAYLOR: I'm happy for him I swear but is it a little fast for love? Isn't he still involved in a lawsuit with his ex? My friend. My friend
The scene returns to the two.
GEON TAYLOR: Just be careful, friend. We don't want you getting hurt again.
AMONTE JORDAN: I don’t think Nasir will hurt me and if he does then I’ll deal with it when it happens, all I know is I’m happy right now and that’s all that matters.
Amonte shrugs.
AMONTE JORDAN: Anyway that dinner last night was crazy, I see everyone is still concerned about the Jordan’s. And then the nerve of Austin and Todrick inviting folks that don’t hang in our circle.
GEON TAYLOR: It was all just a mess. I'm just glad it's over
AMONTE JORDAN: They just have to prove to the world that they have friends, I’m like no one cares about your paid friends.
GEON TAYLOR:You are a trip. He didn't seem all that bad.
AMONTE JORDAN: This trip would have been so much better without them being here, I'm Trying my best to play nice but I want to go off on them so bad.
GEON TAYLOR: But it seems like he is playing it neutral. I dont think yall will have too many issues.
GEON TAYLOR: I don't think Amonte needs anymore enemies right now. And Jordan seems
He chuckles as the scene fades back to the two
AMONTE JORDAN:
The two continue shopping as the scene fades and reopens with London, Keon, Trapp, Yeshua and A’Leah all shown meeting with a Yoga instructor. The instructor advises them to place their floating mats in the swimming pool and get ready to position themselves on the mats so they can do Yoga on the water.
LONDON CARTER•KING: I don’t know why I thought it would be a good idea to do Yoga on the water but I saw one of my rich white friends do it and I said “Hey, I want to try that shit.” So I booked a class with one of the resident yoga instructors here and I’m ready to see what this is all about.
The scene cuts to Yeshua’a confessional.
YESHUA BANNER: Now London knows black people and water don’t really mix, yea I can swim but that doesn't mean I want to be in the water right now, but shit I guess I’m down to try something new.
The scene cuts back to the group.
NASIR “TRAPP” GRANT: Damn London! You would pick an activity like this.
LONDON CARTER•KING: Come on y’all stop being a pussy, it’s only a little water.
Trapp rolls his eyes.
NASIR “TRAPP” GRANT: Man if I fall just make sure you’ll be ready to save me.
Everyone including the instructor laughs at Trapp, who is dead serious about not liking the activity. The instructor advises them to take the first pose between Yeshua and Teapp, the complaining doesn’t stop.
A’LEAH JORDAN: This is great, my body already feels relaxed and stress free.
Trapp looks over at A’Leah who isn’t missing a beat.
YESHUA BANNER: Shit A’leah stop showing off.
A’LEAH JORDAN: This is easy!
A’Leah continues the pose while Trapp, Yeshua and Keon still struggle. Yeshua falls off the mat and into the water, he plops his head up from underneath the water and he swims towards the gate and climbs out of the pool.
YESHUA BANNER: Oh yeah I’m done, Yoga isn’t for me so what I’ll do is sit on the side and watch, maybe roll me a joint up.
Yeshua playfully winks towards the camera and the scene cuts back to the group. The instructor shows off a couple more moves causing both Trapp and Keon to fall in the water next, A’Leah and London who are the last ones standing finishes the stretches and both turns and hops into the water.
A’LEAH JORDAN: This water feels amazing.
Both London and A’Leah climb out of the water and they both join the rest of the group poolside.
LONDON CARTER•KING: That was fun right?
Trapp rolls his eyes and Yeshua ignores the question. A’Leah nods as she lays back in the pool chair and Keon is just sitting there sipping on his drink he snuck down from his room.
A’LEAH JORDAN: I had fun.
KEON CAMP: It was cool, something different but I probably won’t do it again.
London chuckles.
LONDON CARTER•KING: I’m sorry I couldn’t make the dinner last night, how did it go?
A’LEAH JORDAN: The food was great.
LONDON CARTER•KING: That’s it?
A’LEAH JORDAN: I just didn’t like some of the people that were there, but that’s out of my control.
LONDON CARTER•KING: I really invited you guys together so you could all reconnect and hopefully rebuild or fix some of the broken relationships amongst the group. I didn’t think you guys would have issues the first night.
A’LEAH JORDAN: Some people can’t handle the truth.
LONDON CARTER•KING: Oh lord, I don’t think I want to hear about it anymore.
NASIR “TRAPP” GRANT: Man Leah was being messy as usual, I don’t know what her beef is with Austin and Todrick, I think both of them are cool, I only been around them a few times but I’ve always got good vibes.
A’LEAH JORDAN: Forget them.
KEON CAMP: Todrick never really had a backbone, he’s always been the follower type. I mean even with my ex it was like he had no identity and it’s the same with Austin. And he has the nerve to talk about my relationship when his isn’t the best either.
A’LEAH JORDAN: Yes it’s issues all up and down in that relationship.
LONDON CARTER•KING: A relationship wouldn’t be a relationship without issues so I don’t think that’s a good reason to be mad at them.
A’LEAH JORDAN: It’s a lot of things, we just don’t mesh. And last night I brought up the fact they don’t pay their bills and the house is in foreclosure. It's all over the blogs and as friends we would be concerned, am I right?
London looks at A’Leah and shakes his head.
LONDON CARTER•KING: I know this girl can’t be serious, you just flat out said you didn’t like these dudes and you're bringing up “rumors” and wonder why they have an issue with you?
London stares into the screen.
LONDON CARTER•KING: Chile bye.
The scene cuts back to the group.
LONDON CARTER•KING: You can’t always believe what you read, hear or see in the blogs because trust me it’s always a bunch of bullshit, I have years of experiences with the blogs bashing me, my family and my relationship.
YESHUA BANNER: Facts.
LONDON CARTER•KING: All I’m saying is you guys need to try and at least get along for this trip, you're in Greece damnit and this energy yall putting into being enemies could be used for enjoying your time here, that’s all I’m saying.
A’Leah rolls her eyes.
A’LEAH JORDAN: I can have fun and not put any energy into those weirdos.
London shakes his head.
LONDON CARTER•KING: I can't with you.
NASIR “TRAPP” GRANT: Man A’Leah be tripping, I told her to leave them folks alone man. I had to tell Amonte to chill too because I want to have fun here, fuck all that other mess.
LONDON CARTER•KING: I agree.
A’LEAH JORDAN: I’ll try but I can’t make any promises.
A’Leah shrugs and they all continue to enjoy sitting poolside, the scene fades and reopens with the same group but this time the cameras are down for break. A’Leah is shown poolside holding onto her stomach and holding onto her stomach, her stomach felt like someone was punching her and the pain was unbearable. Keon, Trapp, and Yeshua rush to her side to comfort her.
A’LEAH JORDAN: I already knew the risks of traveling and the stress I’ve been dealing with, not just personal stress but the stress of dealing with the drama my family is going through. I held onto a secret for the longest time because I was so excited for the experience of becoming a mother but I guess God didn’t have that in my plan, not yet at least.
A’Leah starts to cry.
A’LEAH JORDAN: I really wanted to have a child and I thought I was doing everything right but now I’m dealing with the pain of losing a child.
The scene cuts back to A’Leah being shown on a stretcher and being carried away inside of an ambulance, with her by her side was her brother Amonte and boyfriend Malik and the three road off as the scene fades and reopens to Austin and Todrick getting massages in a cabana.
TODRICK TABOR: I really needed this after last night. It was a perfectly good dinner and of course it went to hell because some people have no class. Like who cares if we invited JKP on the trip. If London wasn’t tripping about it then no one else should’ve had anything to say.
AUSTIN RAMSEY: That wasn’t the real issue, Babe. It’s like it hurts their spirit to see us happy or anyone that rocks with us is collateral damages. It’s always you with the opps so you aren’t a person anymore. For people who claim to be above us, they don’t act like they come from that background. THe whole thing they wanted was to bring up our finances and this ridiculous foreclosure shit.
AUSTIN RAMSEY: I try so hard to let shit roll but I can’t stand little bitches that flap their gums and then threaten to sue. It’s so hard to be around them and not catch a case. They literally ruin everything. Toddy and I can’t even relax because she needs to talk about that shit from last night. I don’t want to give it a thought but the fact that Keon who can’t bust a grape joins in bothers her. I don’t know why Toddy keeps forgiving that asshat and tries to have a relationship with him. It’s just not worth it. Let’s enjoy Greece. Damn.
TODRICK TABOR: From now on, I am not going to hold you back when it comes to them. The only thing I ask is that you don’t hit them, that is what they want because you see how Amonte is still playing innocent in the situation with Cadence. He acts like the world doesn’t know about how reckless his mouth and antics are. I guarantee you, he didn’t know when enough was enough and he probably hit Cadence first. It’s never his fault. It’s a damn shame that Cadence can’t participate in any group events. If Amonte is so happy then why is he still messing with Cadence?
AUSTIN RAMSEY: Let’s face it, they need the attention. If they weren’t always coming after us, who would fuck with them? Keon? Who gives a fuck about weepy willow? He has no brain whatsoever and it shows. Amonte can straight up ruin this dude’s spot and he has but he still comes back. Meanwhile, you stupidly keep trying to have a relationship with him and he keeps spitting in your face. He is on that “opp” shit that they keep throwing down. Truthfully, he probably keeps Amonte around so if he gets in a tight spot, he can call his pal up. But Amonte won’t just quietly give him some coins, he will laud it over his head and make sure everyone knows he helped and scream what a good friend he is as he does the next fucked up thing to Keon. I’ll be honest with you my love, I got zero fucks to give when it comes to that group. We walk in and they start, we literally were seated at the table and they couldn’t control themselves. It must be exhausting to hate someone that wouldn’t piss on you if you were on fire.
TODRICK TABOR: Austin is making a lot of valid points whether I want to agree with him or not. The reason they are always so into our relationship is they are seeing what true love looks like. One day, this man is going to give me his last name and they know it. You have not heard about either one of us with as many failed relationships as they have. The girls can’t take it. You have to continue to work in a relationship. Keon really can’t comment on me and mine when his life is a HOT ASS MESS! I’m getting real tired of him taking pop shots and then hiding his hand. If he does it again, I hope his wig is secure because I’m coming for it.
The scene cuts back to the two.
TODRICK TABOR: You are right fiance of mine. I have to agree with all of those points. One hill I’m going to die on will be if you come for us, then I’m coming back harder. All of this straight to DVD Mean Girls 3 is ridiculous and I’m not here for it. I also don’t want to ruin this trip for Jordan, Paul, hell even Alexis and you know how I feel about her.
AUSTIN RAMSEY: Lex is good people, Babe. I know you two have had an on and off again relationship. Give her a chance, please?
Todrick rolls her eyes.
AUSTIN RAMSEY: Speaking of chances, I still mean it that I’m not going to intentionally start trouble with anyone. But I’m like you, I ain’t no bitch. My motto continues to be “If you play shit games, you get shit prizes.”
JORDAN PARKER•KANE: Shit prizes! That sounds appealing.
Standing in the opening of the Cabana is the newest member of the crew, Jordan Parker - Kane. Dressed in swimming trucks and a white t-shirt.
JORDAN PARKER•KANE: How are we this morning?
Todrick whispers to Austin.
TODRICK TABOR: He is cute, I see why we keep him around.
Todrick giggles and Austin smirks at him.
AUSTIN RAMSEY: Sup Jordan. Morning is going I suppose. I gotta go for a run with Amonte later and I don’t know what to expect.
JORDAN PARKER•KANE: You have fun with that one.
He shakes his head, taking a seat in a beach chair.
JORDAN PARKER•KANE: So last night was…. Interesting.
JORDAN PARKER•KANE: More like a massive shit show.
Back to the three, Jordan looks at his new friends.
JORDAN PARKER•KANE: Hope what I said didn't offend you guys.
AUSTIN RAMSEY: Naw bruh, we weren’t offended. I won’t lie at first I was a little confused but I got what you were putting down quickly. Toddy let’s them get under her skin more than me. I’d rather hit you and sort it out after the best man wins. Buuuuut...I can’t do that. You made a valid point. Same thing Toddy was saying it’s a never ending record. People talk shit, but you gotta admit that shit has its effects when you doing the high society shit that Toddy does.
JORDAN PARKER•KANE:, I can get that. I certainly didn't mean to trivialize what it's been like to deal with them. I mean I was only around them for about 20 minutes and I was running scenarios through my head, where I was breaking his arm.
Jordan laughs, and Todrick giggles.
AUSTIN RAMSEY: Yeah, it usually ends in people wanting to break their limbs. I’m not going into this blind but if we can fix shit, I’m open to that.
JORDAN PARKER•KANE: If you're able to fix things, do it. I hope it works. I'm discovering some relationships are permanently broken.
Austin smirks.
AUSTIN RAMSEY: Ours ain’t though.
JORDAN PARKER•KANE: I didn't mean yours.
Jordan looks down.
JORDAN PARKER•KANE: Just discovering some family issues of my own. Issues that are only going to be resolved with a lot of violence.
AUSTIN RAMSEY: You need my fists? I’m down if you do.
JORDAN PARKER•KANE: Appreciate the offer, but it's nothing I can't handle.
JORDAN PARKER•KANE: It's nice to know I can count on backup, but these family issues have to be dealt with by family. Even if it means I no longer have one at the end of it.
Scene switches back to the three in the cabana.
TODRICK TABOR: Family is family. Just know that you are a part of our family, and that means we have your back. I hope it all sorts itself out.
JORDAN PARKER•KANE: Thanks, but let's focus on stuff that matters right now.
Austin and Todrick hold hands as their massages continue. The scene fades and reopens with London on FaceTime with Amonte, Amonte is explaining to London what is going on with his sister A’Leah.
LONDON CARTER•KING: That really sucks that happened and here in Greece, I understand if she wants to go back to NY and I wouldn’t be mad if you left with her.
AMONTE JORDAN: She doesn’t want me to go, she wants me to stay here but I don’t know what to do.
AMONTE JORDAN: I can’t fucking believe my sister miscarried while we’re here in Greece, I know she’s been under alot of stress and I’m sure the traveling didn’t help her either. I told her I would fly back to New York with her but she insisted that I stay and enjoy myself.
Amonte shakes his head.
AMONTE JORDAN: It doesn’t feel right.
The scene cuts back to London on the phone with Amonte.
LONDON CARTER•KING: Look just keep me posted and let me know what you decide to do and if you need anything Amonte I’m only a call away.
Amonte thanks London and the two hang up, the scene fades and reopens with Austin waiting for Amonte on the beach. He is stretching and looks up and sees Amonte approaching him.
AUSTIN RANSEY: Good morning.
AMONTE JORDAN: Honestly I almost forgot about this “RUN” with Austin, I don’t think I’m in the right headspace for this either, everything that's going on with my sister I swear Austin could say the wrong thing and we both will end up in this ocean fighting and most likely drown.
Amonte pauses.
AMONTE JORDAN: Chill Monte, you're overthinking this a bit.
The scene cuts back to the two.
AMONTE JORDAN: Good morning, thanks for meeting with me or should I say running with me. Sorry I’m late but I had a family emergency to deal with earlier, I’m surprised I'm still here.
Austin is still distrustful of Amonte but family emergency is not lost on him. His disposition softens a bit but he is still ready for anything.
AUSTIN RAMSEY: I’m sorry to hear that you had a family emergency. I won’t pry but are you okay?
AMONTE JORDAN: I’m fine, but I don't think my sister will be fine anytime soon. But I didn’t come here to talk about that, I came here to talk to you face to face about the drama surrounding my family and yours. I honestly don’t remember how this so-called “beef” started, you weren’t even around the first season so I think our beef started off with the fact that Todrick and I didn’t like each other.
Amonte and Austin start running down the beach.
AMONTE JORDAN: I think Zuma had a lot to play in that whole thing, but with him not being around I don’t know why we all can’t just start over.
AMONTE JORDAN: As much as it burns my soul to even try to form a truce with this man, it has to be done. We’ve been going back and forth for so long that I can’t even remember what the hell the beef is about. Depending on how this conversation goes, I don’t think I’ll ever trust Austin and that’s just me being real.
The scene cuts back to the two.
AUSTIN RAMSEY: Damn man, I’m sorry something serious is going on with your sister. I never wish anything bad on anyone for real. I hope whatever it is, that it sorts itself out.
Austin has a sincere look on his face but he has no expectations of trust given their history. It was something his therapist had been working with him about.
AUSTIN RAMSEY: I think that our beef happened because you hated Zuma and Toddy was collateral damage. I didn’t like that because I really love her. I couldn’t stand to see what was being said about her. I was her protector just as much as she brought me out of dark places.
Austin cut himself off, he wondered if he was telling Amonte too much.
AMONTE JORDAN: I don’t think Todrick even gave me a chance, he was so caught up with what that Opp was putting in his ear that he didn’t even give me the opportunity. I remember when we were shopping in that store and the energy was just all wrong, I went to that store with the intention of making nice with Todrick and hopefully form a friendship but that didn’t happen.
Amonte shrugs.
AMONTE JORDAN: But that doesn’t matter now, the opp isn’t around and now we might have an opportunity to start fresh and see where it goes. I’m at a point in life where I can’t take on anymore drama, I have a lot of shit happening with my family that is out of my control, my personal life was a wreck before Nasir came into my life and now the shit with my sister is throwing me off, I just want peace.
Austin takes in what Amonte is saying and he glances over at him and sees sincerity in his face which causes him to lower his guard just a bit more.
AUSTIN RAMSEY: Yeah, Toddy found a lot out about his former friend that doesn’t need to be addressed. That is where the tension rested. The source isn’t around anymore so is there any reason to keep it going? I didn’t realize you had so much on your plate. When you have so much going on, sometimes you lose sight of others. Guilty as charged, I suppose.
AMONTE JORDAN: I couldn’t believe that we were actually having a moment, just a few hours ago we were almost at each other's throats and now here we are all civilized and shit.
Amonte shrugs.
AMONTE JORDAN: I guess it doesn’t hurt being nice to the Ramsey’s.
The scene cuts back to the two, they continue running down the beach before stopping and glancing over at the clear water.
AMONTE JORDAN: Man it's so beautiful and peaceful out here, I could live with this everyday.
AUSTIN RAMSEY: That’s why I’m so big into fitness. It melts all the troubles of the world away.
AUSTIN RAMSEY:
[/b][/color] I didn’t know what to expect this morning, but I’m glad I gave it a chance. I like this Amonte, guess he isn’t so bad after all.[/font][/div]AMONTE JORDAN: Look I want to apologize for the turmoil I’ve caused you and Todrick, I know it’ll be hard for you to believe what I’m saying but I genuinely mean it.
Amonte extends his hand out hoping for a handshake from Austin. Austin looks at him and extends his hand as well. The two shake hands. The beef is dead for Austin but he knew he would have to work on his future bride now.
The two make their way back towards the hotel as the scene fades and reopens with Malachi Stone and Amaya Cole shopping inside of the hotel’s guest shop. Amaya grabs a couple keychains and some shirts while Malachi admires some of the jewelry locked away in a glass box.
MALACHI STONE: This jewelry is nice, but it's so expensive.
AMAYA COLE: What did you expect? We are in Greece.
MALACHI STONE: I know but damn, I probably should have raised my credit limit before coming here.
Amaya chuckles.
AMAYA COLE: Credit limit? What is that?
MALACHI STONE: Well excuse me, some of us still have to check balances before we decide to purchase. I don’t have it like that.
AMAYA COLE: I’m only messing with you.
AMAYA COLE: After last night's dinner, I needed a little retail therapy to calm my nerves and even though this isn’t Chanel or Louie, this little guest shop will have to do for right now. I invited Malachi out with me because I wanted to make sure he was okay after last night's activities. Even though he wasn’t at the dinner the full night he was still there to witness some of the drama so I just wanted to make sure he’s comfortable and enjoying himself.
The scene cuts back to the two.
MALACHI STONE: So about last night.
AMAYA COLE: I was waiting for you to bring it up, I’m sorry you had to endure all that mess.
MALACHI STONE: Does this happen every time you guys link up, I mean I wouldn’t call these friendships real if everyone has an issue with each other.
AMAYA COLE: You would think that huh? I think it's mostly Austin and his sister who has the problems with everyone. I actually get along with most of the people in this group. I try not to entertain the bullshit because at the end of the day I am a lawyer, a high priced and very popular one at that and I don’t want anything that isn’t my fault tarnishing my brand.
Amaya shrugs while Malachi agrees.
MALACHI STONE: I don’t blame you.
AMAYA COLE: I was really hoping that this trip would help everyone kind of hash out all their issues and be a fun trip overall but from the looks of it, it doesn't seem like it's going to work out that way.
MALACHI STONE: It feels more divided than anything.
MALACHI STONE: Look I don’t mind a little drama here and there, but this is ridiculous. I didn’t fly all the way to Greece to sit in my room and referee beefs between people, I came here to have fun.
The scene cuts back to the two.
AMAYA COLE: Is this your first trip to Greece?
Malachi nods.
MALACHI STONE: Yes!
AMAYA COLE: Ah so it makes sense why you're so worried about us all getting along or not, the only advice I can give you is just be patient, and have fun. Don’t let anyone else's negativity mess this trip up for you!
AMAYA COLE: I honestly felt bad for Malachi, all he wants to do is have fun. I’m glad we took this time out to do a little shopping, it helps take his mind off the chaos that is going on around him so hopefully this did help.
The scene cuts back to the two.
AMAYA COLE: London said he had some stuff planned for us today, so we probably should start making our way back to the rooms.
Malachi nods and the two walk off, the scene fades and reopens with majority of the group walking towards a huge boat, the scene cuts to London making walking alongside the captain, the two stop in front of the walkway that leads onto the ship just so they can go over the itinerary of today's trip.
LONDON CARTER•KING: I felt bad that I didn’t get to spend a lot of time with the group when I first arrived but honestly my marriage is what's important to me right now. Like I said before Anthony and I needed this trip to kind of reconnect and get back on track, ever since we had our son it's been difficult and the distance doesn’t help at all.
London shrugs.
LONDON CARTER•KING: But today is about having fun, I wanted to get the group together so we can take a tour of Athens, I heard the tour of Hydra, Poros, and Egina was a great experience so why not take advantage of that, we can sit on the boat, drink, and just have a good time.
London pauses before staring into the camera.
LONDON CARTER•KING: Lets just hope these guys can get along.
The scene cuts back to the group, London makes his way onto the boat and heads straight for the bar that it set up for them. A few minutes go by and some of the other cast start making their way onto the boat. Amonte and Keon both walk over to London and the three embrace each other before sitting down on the plush couches located on the top deck.
AMONTE JORDAN: Man this water is so beautiful.
KEON CAMP: I like the fact you can actually see it, it's so clear. You know I’m actually afraid of big bodies of water but I've never been out on the ocean, I’ve done small rivers but nothing this colossal.
AMONTE JORDAN: This is a moment.
AMONTE JORDAN: I’ve been on yachts, huge ships, small boats. I’ve done it all, but being here in Greece on this boat tops it all, I’m so happy that London invited me on this trip.
The scene cuts back to the boat, Yeshua, Trapp, and Amaya are shown walking onto the boat. The three are met with drinks before joining Amonte, Keon, and London.
AMAYA COLE: I know the people that live here love it here, just imagine waking up to this beautiful sight everyday.
NASIR “TRAPP” GRANT: That shit would make me nervous, what if a tsunami or something hit, we would be fucked!
Trapp laughs.
YESHUA BANNER: Hell fucking yeah, we would have no chance of survival.
AMAYA COLE: I should look into some property out here.
AMONTE JORDAN: Look at you Miss Rich Bitch!
AMAYA COLE: I’m rich in life.
Amaya snaps her fingers.
LONDON CARTER•KING: I kind of wanted to make a toast but I guess I should wait for everyone to arrive before I do that.
London leans over to Amonte.
LONDON CARTER•KING: I just wanted to make sure you were okay.
AMONTE JORDAN: I’m good, I just feel bad that I’m still here, I feel like a bad brother for not being there and going through this horrible time with her.
LONDON CARTER•KING: Don’t think about it like that, you’ll be home soon enough to be there for her. But let me know if you or her need anything and I’ll be there in a heartbeat.
AMONTE JORDAN: I appreciate that.
London grabs Amonte’s hand, squeezing it but in a caring manner. London turns his attention back towards the group.
LONDON CARTER•KING: But speaking of everyone, where is the rest of the group at? I think the boat was to take off in a couple minutes and I don’t want to leave anyone behind.
LONDON CARTER•KING: I told everyone to be here at a certain time, I get it were in Greece so everyone is a little turned up but damn, can we be punctual and on time?
London shakes his head and the scene cuts back to the group. Geon is now shown walking up to the dock in his swim trunks.
GEON TAYLOR: So. After last night. The last thing I wanna do is be around this entire group. We all know how it's gonna go. On top of that, I am majorly hungover. You gotta drink to be around all this. I wanted to stay in my bed London did put all of this together so I'm gonna go and hope at least no one gets thrown overboard.
He pauses.
GEON TAYLOR: And that includes my lunch.
He chuckles as the scene returns to the boat. Geon climbs on board and takes a look around.
GEON TAYLOR: This is dope. What's up guys
AMONTE JORDAN: Damn boy what took you so long to get here? I knocked on your door like 4 times this morning, I guess that alcohol had you out.
Amonte chuckles.
GEON TAYLOR: Man! I haven't drank thst much in a long time. I feel like trash right now.
YESHUA BANNER: Shit I don’t blame you, I don’t know what’s in the liquor here in Greece but it had me slumped last night.
KEON CAMP: Tell me about it.
Keon playfully rolls his eyes and Yeshua chuckles.
YESHUA BANNER: Don’t do that yo, I was fucked up.
The scene cuts to Malachi arriving at the boat with drink already in hand, he walks up the walkway almost falling but he stops himself from tripping.
MALACHI STONE: I’m not going to lie, I’m a little lit right now. And I know it’s early as hell right now, but I’m such a lightweight and to be honest I kind of have to be a little tipsy to be around this group. Don’t get me wrong, they all seem cool but the drama is draining and since I’m new to the group it makes it a little uncomfortable for me.
Malachi shrugs.
MALACHI STONE: Oh well, let’s see how this goes but first I need to make it on the boat first and not fall overboard.
Malachi giggles as the scene cuts back to the boat, Malachi joins the remainder of the group sitting in between Keon and Amonte. Keon scoots to the side.
KEON CAMP: I keep forgetting Malachi is on this trip, he’s like a little bug that you can’t get rid of.
Keon shrugs.
PRODUCER: What is your issue with Malachi?
KEON CAMP: It’s no issue, I just don’t know him like that. I’ve known Amonte for a few years now and he’s never mentioned Malachi’s name, nor have I seen him out in a public setting with Amonte so I don’t know why Amonte decided to take in strays but just because their friends doesn’t mean we have to be friends either, I got enough of those.
The scene cuts back to the group, Keon turns and looks at Amonte.
KEON CAMP: So are you going to tell us what happened with Austin? I’m shocked you didn’t come back with battle wounds.
Keon laughs.
AMONTE JORDAN: Well if anyone had any battle wounds it would have been him and not me. But we just chatted and figured out the reason why we started beefing and we made a promise not to come at each other's personal life. I'm not saying we’re best friends but we can at least be cordial in a group setting.
KEON CAMP: And what about Todrick?
Amonte takes a sip of his drink but in a shady manner.
AMONTE JORDAN: That’s another story, a lot of stuff has been said between the both of us so he would really have to come to me with a sincere and honest apology.
AMONTE JORDAN: I’m not saying I wouldn’t be open to sitting down with Todrick and having a conversation but the question is, is it worth my time and energy? That boy has a slick ass mouth and I know once he pops off then it would be on and poppin.
The scene cuts back to the group.
KEON CAMP: Well I’m good with that friendship, after my ex and the shady shit they both did to me I don’t ever see me having a friendship with him.
Now joining the group is the newest member of the little gang, Jordan Parker-Kane. He confidently strolls up to the boat and the group.
Jordan: Morning everyone.
He addresses the group of virtual strangers, while sitting in an empty section of seats.
JORDAN PARKER•KANE: Let's see how this goes, can't be any worse than that dinner, can it?
The scene cuts to Keon and his confessional.
KEON CAMP: And here we are again, another unknown stranger making his presence known on the boat. I swear if we have one more stray walk up on this boat then I’m leaving.
PRODUCER: You do know he was at the dinner and was invited by Austin and Todrick?
KEON CAMP: Oh really? I didn’t notice.
Keon shrugs and the scene cuts back to the group.
LONDON CARTER•KING: I think we’re only waiting on a couple more people, then we can finally sail off.
AMAYA COLE: I can’t stop thinking about how beautiful Greece really is, just sitting here alone and staring out into the ocean is mesmerizing.
GEON TAYLOR: I agree. I really hope we get to continue and enjoy it when the boat takes off.
NASIR “TRAPP” GRANT: We haven’t even moved yet and I think I’m starting to feel sick, yea the view is nice and shit but yo, I don’t know it might be the drinks from last night.
Trapp rubs his upset stomach and the scene cuts back to the group.
Jordan looks around, feeling the clear tension. He shrugs and slides closer to London to speak to him while they wait.
JORDAN PARKER•KANE: Hey man, just wanted to say thanks for letting me tag along last minute.
Shortly after two people are shown running toward the boat. As they get closer it is revealed to be Cadence and Marco. The two climb aboard and Cadence takes Marco straight to London.
CADENCE WASHINGTON: What's good man. I hope you don't mind if I brought a friend.
LONDON CARTER•KING: Oh ummm, that’s fine.
London looks over at Amonte and back at Cadence and his friend.
LONDON CARTER•KING: I know Amonte and Cadence have this pending trial going on, but after having a private conversation with Amonte he agreed to not say anything about Cadence being here and that he could coexist with him for the sake of the ride. But I didn’t know Cadence was bringing a “friend.”
London shakes his head.
LONDON CARTER•KING: Whew this is messy!
The scene cuts back to the boat.
MARCO PORTER: Hi. I'm Marco. It's nice to meet you!
Marco smiles and extends his hand to London.
CADENCE WASHINGTON: So apparently because of the show Monte’s lil motion to keep me away from him only applies when we aren't filming. He thought he was the only one who had a good lawyer.
A quick flashback scene is shown with Cadence getting a call from his lawyer before going back to his confessional
CADENCE WASHINGTON: and I'm sure Amaya knew that shit too. But of course she wouldn't tell me. Fake ass bitch.
He chuckles as the scene returns to the boat.
CADENCE WASHINGTON: I'll be good. I promise!
LONDON CARTER•KING: Let’s hope so, like look around, who wants to be negative in a place like this?
CADENCE WASHINGTON: of course. I'm actually always on my best behavior. I can coexist. I can't speak for ole boy tho. But he has someone here to occupy him.
CADENCE WASHINGTON: Word on the street is he got a new toy boy. I'm honestly happy for him. Maybe that means the Jordan family will actually leave me alone.
Amonte rolls his eyes as he tries not to stare at Cadence and Marco.
AMAYA COLE: This is interesting.
AMAYA COLE: I’m surprised to see Cadence here, and on the yacht. I just hope he doesn’t start any bullshit, it’s bad enough he showed up here with a date on the same boat that his ex who he had a physical altercation with is here. Man I swear these guys never change, messy messy.
The scene cuts back to the group. Austin and Todrick are walking up to the boat holding hands and smiling. Austin kisses Todrick’s hand before helping her on the boat. They both smile at everyone and say hello.
TODRICK TABOR: Austin came back to the room in such a good mood, and I was pleasantly surprised. This was all I really wanted and hopefully this peace with him and Amonte will last. Austin is loyal if nothing else so there will be no question as to who broke it if the fighting starts. As for peace between Amonte, A’Leah, and Keon and I well, they would have to sit down and have a sincere apology ready. I am not their former friend and his sins will not be pinned on me to pay for. That’s the real tea, that’s what they call themselves punishing me for. Quiet as it’s kept.
The couple sit down next to Jordan.
AUSTIN RAMSEY:
[/b] Man, it doesn’t get much better than this. This is beautiful, and I think we are going to have a really good day.[/font][/div]Todrick pulls a flask out of her clutch and the two take a drink and offer Jordan some.
JORDAN PARKER•KANE: Thanks, but I'm good.
AUSTIN RAMSEY: A’Leah isn’t here to fan the flames of unwarranted drama. Toddy won’t start anything with anyone, but he will finish it. Today really is going to be a good day.
PRODUCER: What if Geon brings another bone to the table today?
AUSTIN RAMSEY: Look I ain’t tryna fight today, didn’t say I wouldn’t, but I want to enjoy this trip is all. I get paid to fight when I wrestle at FIGHT! NYC. Don’t need to fight at any of my other jobS! Plural, so who broke?
TODRICK: Everyone looks amazing today. Some of you girls look like you are T-I-RED honey. You knew not to party all night with that jetlag.
Todrick giggles as she surveys the group. Finally, Paul Montuori and Alexis Hunter board the boat and sit next to Todrick and Austin as they speak to everyone present.
CADENCE WASHINGTON: What's good friend! Looking like a snack as always. Lemme introduce you to my friend. This is Marco.
TODRICK: It’s so good to see you, Cadence. Well hello, Marco, it’s a pleasure to meet you.
AMONTE JORDAN: Here comes Todrick with his loud flamboyant ass, the audacity of him talking about how someone looks when he looks a mess daily, well at least he doesn’t have on his TJ Maxx attire today.
Amonte shrugs.
PRODUCER: What are your feelings about Cadence and Marco?
AMONTE JORDAN: Who?
PRODUCER: Cadence your ex and his new “friend” Marco.
AMONTE JORDAN: What’s the question again?
PRODUCER: What are your feelings about Cadence and Marco?
AMONTE JORDAN: I have no feelings about them, I didn’t even realize they were here. I’m too busy enjoying this boat, the scenery and my man sitting next to me.
The scene cuts back to the group. Jordan shakes his head and leans over toward Austin.
JORDAN PARKER•KANE: And I thought last night was tense.
AUSTIN RAMSEY: Man, last night was civil compared to some of the tom foolery and bill fuckery that goes on within this group. Hopefully with Amonte and I talking this morning, the drama will be at a minimum. But people will act like they can’t be bothered with you but pick at you all day until you snap and then play victim. I always hope for the best but I stay locked and loaded.
Austin snickers and takes a sip of the flask. Todrick is trying to control her face as she looks around the boat careful not to stare at Keon.
TODRICK: Look at this whore, Keon, sitting up here with a man that is not hers and has the nerve to call my relationship fake every chance she parts her beef eaters. Bitch, your entire situationship is the very definition of a fake relationship. But I guess even the mistress needs time in the sun, so enjoy it while you can. I hope none of your messy circle carries that back to others and it gets to that man’s actual partner. Sip that tea, honey.
PRODUCER: Would you ever carry that back to the other party involved?
TODRICK: Honey, I would never. That is not my place but my point is you are always publically trashing my relationship with Austin when you lost your ring because you were high and loose. Now you are parading around with a married man, and you have the nerve to look down your nose at me. This hoe flip flops all the time because she was trying to be my friend a few weeks ago and was playing peacemaker but now that she is with the Jordan’s around the entire group her face is frowned up. I’m not here for it.
Don’t get high and mighty with me. Don’t act like you are about that life either, we know who used to fight your battles and once they were gone, you were sporting that black eye. She doesn't have hands so she gets buck when it’s a situation where she can jump in a dogpile, that way she doesn't have to fight. I’m on to little Ms. Keon and her antics.
PRODUCER: You two were making progress. Is there any chance you can move forward from this?
TODRICK: Chile, I’m tired of initiating the peace talks. If Keon wants to have a relationship he will have to approach me from a sincere place. He will also have to ensure that his pack of Disney Villians knows what is happening so we stop the back and forth. It’s not a choose a side thing on my end. If they make him choose that’s on them. I can move forward but I’m not putting in all the work anymore. I’m over that.
PRODUCER: Is that Austin talking or is that Todrick?
TODRICK: That is 100% Todrick. I’m over it, honey.
The scene cuts back to the group.
LONDON CARTER•KING: I think that’s everyone right?
As Silas approaches the boat, he reaches his right hand towards his face, removing his sunglasses from his face. Looking over the boat, he peeps those that have already arrived onto the yacht.
SILAR SHARPE: Well… this should go great!
SILAR SHARPE: After last night, I couldn’t help but to stay to myself. I knew that this group of friends were going to bring their drama to Greece, but I didn’t expect it to blow up the way that it did. So, I’ve been enjoying Greece by my lonesome… until now. I can’t miss my chance to sail the seas. Fuck the drama, I’m going to enjoy this yacht, and all the alcohol I can get my hands on.
He lets out a scof to himself, before placing his sunglasses back onto his face. Silas walks onto the yacht with a smile firmly planted on his face as he looks over everyone that is there. Amonte notices Silas walking towards the group, and he rushes over and greets him.
AMONTE JORDAN: Before you sit down, let’s grab a drink first.
SILAR SHARPE: Say less, I definitely need a drink...
Both Amonte and Silas head to the bar and place their drink orders.
AMONTE JORDAN: I haven’t talked to Silas all day, I called his phone and I even stopped by his room and he never once answered. I know it wasn’t something I did but I figured he just didn’t want to be around everyone, I mean last night was kind of wild and since it was really his first time in a group setting, I’m sure he was probably uncomfortable and shocked at what the hell was going on. I just want to make sure he’s okay before he’s thrown back into the pack of wolves.
The scene cuts back to the two.
AMONTE JORDAN: Are you okay man? I stopped by your room twice today and knocked but you never answered, I was worried.
SILAR SHARPE: Yeah, I’m good. You don’t have to worry about me, this is… just a lot. I’m not used to seeing people make complete asses of themselves like they did last night. I knew they’d be catty… I just wasn’t expecting all of that. You know, I’m not that kind of person. I just don’t associate with attitudes that scrape the bottom of the barrel.
SILAR SHARPE: I hate that I made it seem like it was something serious. It isn’t, I just don’t like these fools. It’s hard to sit there and watch your friend be raked across the coals by people that are far worse people than he ever could be.
The scene cuts back to the two.
AMONTE JORDAN: Look I know and that’s why I warned you about this group, I was hoping they could be civilized since both you and Malachi were new but as you can see that didn’t happen.
Amonte continues talking, not noticing Malachi walking over towards them.
AMONTE JORDAN: Oh shit, speaking of Malachi.
MALACHI STONE: Hey y’all.
MALACHI STONE: I know this boat ride is going to be something serious, but I wanted to sneak away from the crazies and see what my two friends were over here talking about, hell I wanted to know the tea too.
The scene cuts back to the three.
AMONTE JORDAN: We were just talking about you.
MALACHI STONE: I hope it wasn't bad.
AMONTE JORDAN: Nah, I was just telling Silas that I was worried about him because he was locked in his room all day.
MALACHI STONE: I don’t blame him, I didn’t want to be around these crazy people all day either. I went shopping and I did some yoga by the pool. You should have joined me, Silas, it was very peaceful and zen.
SILAR SHARPE: I did get out for a little bit, but nothing long enough but that’s only because I didn’t think anyone would have come looking for me. I just refuse to let these people drive me nuts, my mental sanity is way too important. Malachi, you’re right I should have joined you. You’re one of the few people here I actually think I’d enjoy being around.
SILAR SHARPE: Something tells me that I’m going to regret this boat ride. Hell, I don’t think there’s enough alcohol on this boat to make this tolerable. Luckily, I do at least have Amonte to keep me a little sane… hopefully.
The scene cuts back to the three.
SILAR SHARPE: So… who do we have any predictions of who is getting thrown overboard?
AMONTE JORDAN: Well right now everything is calm but before you got here Todrick and Austin arrived and we both know how those two act.
MALACHI STONE: Damn, you really don’t like them do you?
AMONTE JORDAN: You’re right I don’t like them, I’m just playing nice. Just like Silas said I too was trying to have a fun trip without all the unnecessary drama but last night proved to me that the Ramsey’s will never change.
MALACHI STONE: I thought you said that you and Austin talked and kind of squashed things.
AMONTE JORDAN: We talked and we decided to be cordial towards each other but that doesn’t mean we’re friends, I still think he’s a clown. Anyway Silas just relax and get another shot in you, we can go back and join the group and take it from there.
SILAR SHARPE: Trust me, I’ll need more than one shot to deal with Austin. Lord knows if I speak to Todrick, he’s going to want to throw me off this boat. So, I’ll just sit there silently… observe all the bullshit.
SILAR SHARPE: I’m here to have fun, but I know that won’t happen. So, I’m going to go ahead and turn up, and hope I don't end up as the man overboard on this yacht!
The scene cuts back to the three.
MALACHI STONE: Oh before we go back Amonte I meant to ask you where A’Leah was? I overheard some conversation about her going to the hospital but I didn’t know for sure.
AMONTE JORDAN: Wait?! I hadn’t told anyone about A’Leah going to the hospital so how in the hell does Malachi know about it? I swear people are freaking nosey.
The scene cuts back to the three.
AMONTE JORDAN: She’ll be fine I hope, I really don’t want to discuss what’s going on because it’s personal but who did you hear talking about it?
MALACHI STONE: Some of the hotel workers we’re talking about how some lady was taken out of here on a stretcher, the woman was recording a video and I saw A’Leah on it.
AMONTE JORDAN: You gotta be kidding me.
AMONTE JORDAN: I honestly feel like Malachi is lying about who he heard talking about my sister but you know what I’m having a good time and I’m not about to let him ruin it. But if he’s telling the truth about it being hotel workers then I’ll find out and have them heauxs fired.
The scene cuts back to the three.
MALACHI STONE: She’s fine though.
AMONTE JORDAN: Yes. Look, let’s just get back to the rest of the group.
MALACHI STONE: I can tell Amonte’s whole vibe changes, I feel like his energy is off and it’s my fault. Damn, I thought I was helping him out by telling him these people were out here talking about his sister.
The scene cuts back to the three.
SILAR SHARPE: Yay, let’s see where these beautiful seas take us… hopefully not overboard!
The three head back to the main sitting area and rejoin the rest of the group.
LONDON CARTER•KING: Ok, I think that’s everyone now.
London looks around to make sure everyone is present, a few minutes goes by and the boat finally sets sail. The scene cuts back to the group where everyone is already enjoying themselves, some having side bar conversations while others are drinking and dancing to the music.
LONDON CARTER•KING: It looks like everyone is enjoying themselves and honestly that’s all I wanted, I know it was some tension earlier but now it seems like the alcohol is setting in, that could be a good thing or a bad thing, I guess we’ll just have to wait and see.
The scene cuts back to the group. Amonte leans over to Amaya who is sipping on her drink and eating some of the strawberries on the table.
AMONTE JORDAN: I think I’m going to talk to Cadence.
AMAYA COLE: Uh I don’t think that’s a good idea, with this case going on and him bringing this dude, I don’t think you should approach him because who knows what his reaction would be.
AMONTE JORDAN: True, but here we are in Greece and honestly all I ever wanted from him was an apology, if he apologizes and if it’s sincere then I’ll drop this whole thing.
PRODUCER: Would you honestly drop the charges if Cadences apologizes?
Amonte shakes his head Yes.
AMONTE JORDAN: I would. I never wanted to see Cadence locked up, I was just so mad at him that at that time, seeing him in jail was the only thing that would make me happy. But after talking with Nasir and him, opening my eyes to the situation made me really think that all I ever wanted was closure. Cadence never hit me before that incident and we both were drunk.
PRODUCER: Where do you two go from here?
AMONTE JORDAN: I don’t know, I won’t say we’ll never be friends, but I just want this whole situation to be over with, close the chapter and move on.
Amonte starts the tear up but he stops himself from crying, the scene cuts back to the group.
AMAYA COLE: Just be careful, and if you need me I’ll be around.
Amonte nods, he gets up from his section of the boat and walks over to Cadence and Marco. Cadence gives Marco a look, letting him know to brace himself
AMONTE JORDAN: Sorry to interrupt, but I was hoping I could speak with you Cadence privately, it should only take a couple minutes.
CADENCE WASHINGTON: You wanna talk to me? I thought you ain't have no real rap for me.
MARCO PORTER: I can just go get us some drinks. Give yall a second.
Cadence pauses, looking to Amonte as if he is thinking if this would be a good idea.
CADENCE WASHINGTON: I guess we can rap real fast.
CADENCE WASHINGTON: i dont know what this is about. But knowing Monte. This ain't bout to end good.
He shakes his head as the scene returns to the yacht. Cadence and Amonte have excused them to a private room on the lower deck. Cadence leans against the wall, looking at Amonte. The room is quiet for a but before Cadence breaks the silence.
CADENCE WASHINGTON: So wussup?
AMONTE JORDAN: I’m sure you're wondering why I asked to talk to you, honestly I really feel bad about the whole situation that went down between us and I just wanted to talk to you and hopefully find some closure.
CADENCE WASHINGTON: Closure? My nigga, you are suing me.!
AMONTE JORDAN: To be honest I know the lawsuit was over the top but at that point I called myself trying to teach you a lesson, after what happened in the Uber you kind of didn’t reach out afterwards and I was just hurt.
AMONTE JORDAN: At the time I really loved Cadence, and even with the demons he suffered from I stood by his side. That fight really hurt me, but the only way I can move on and enjoy my relationship with TRAPP and to end this situation.
The scene cuts back to Amonte and Cadence.
AMONTE JORDAN: I’m going to be the bigger man in this situation and apologize to you for my wrongdoing in that whole situation, I’m at a point in my life where I’m really happy despite the nasty rumors going on about my family, but other then that I’m happy and the last thing I want to do right now is cause you any pain or bullshit. I’ll understand if you don’t believe what I’m saying but I truly mean it.
Cadence pauses, putting his head down. The scene cuts to clips of better times in their relationship from. Season one. Then show the blog reports of the infamous Uber incident.
CADENCE WASHINGTON: When shit was good with me and Monte, it was good. I aint gon sit and act like I aint fuck with dude. But whatever he was going through things started to pour into our relationship and that's when shit got bad. I know I shouldn't have put my hands on him though. I'll admit I was wrong for that. And maybe it's time I apologize to him.
He sighs as the scene returns to the two.
CADENCE WASHINGTON: Look. I know I shouldn't have put my hands on you. That was real fucked up. I don't care how mad I was. I never shoulda did that shit. But you just be pushing me bro. You and ya sister… Especially ya sister. But I don't wanna fight every time I see you. I ain't that type of dude. We obviously still gonna be around each other but I feel like we should at least be able to be in the same room and hold a conversation. We used to sleep in the same bed man.
AMONTE JORDAN: You’re right and I shouldn’t have placed the blame all on you because I know my mouth can be reckless sometimes. We used to have really good times so I just hope we can get back to that place even as friends. As for the lawsuit I’m going to tell Amaya to drop the charges!
CADENCE WASHINGTON: We did. And I don't see why we can't be friends. But ya lil boyfriend might not like that.
He chuckles.
AMONTE JORDAN: He’s cool, he’s the one that actually told me to squash this shit and to let it go.
PRODUCER: It’s good that you decided to stop the lawsuit and make amends with Cadence.
AMONTE JORDAN: I was actually doing him a favor, we both know he can’t really afford the court fees and a lawyer so I’m trying to save the little coin he does get from wherever he gets it from. I'm sure his new “friend” is financing his life so let him deal with the heartache. Me stopping this lawsuit and moving in will not only give me closure but also peace.
The scene cuts back to the two.
AMONTE JORDAN: Well let’s get back up there before people think we started fighting again and fell off the boat.
CADENCE WASHINGTON: yea let's go before they think we killed each other
The two make their way back upstairs with the rest of the group.
AMAYA COLE: Great! I’m glad to see you two walking upstairs smiling and with no bruises.
AMONTE JORDAN: Ha, no we’re good.
CADENCE WASHINGTON: Yea I promised London I would behave.
The scene cuts to Keon who is standing near the bar waiting for his drink, Todrick makes his way over and orders a drink also.
KEON CAMP: I guess this would be the opportunity to talk to Todrick, I guess since Amonte is finding peace with everyone maybe I should try too, but I swear If Todrick pops off then he’ll be flying over the ledge and into the water.
The scene cuts back to Keon, Keon taps Todrick on his shoulder.
KEON CAMP: Hey before you head back to your seat, I wanted to talk to you about something.
TODRICK: Chile, what do she want?
Todrick rolls her eyes and takes a sip of her drink. The scene cuts back to the two.
TODRICK: Hi Keon, sure let’s head somewhere quiet so we can talk.
KEON CAMP: Ok good.
Keon takes one of the premade shots and follows Todrick to the corner of the boat, the two sit and before anyone talks Keon takes his shot to the head and places it on the table.
KEON CAMP: Lately it seems like me and you have been on this rollercoaster of a friendship and it isn’t sitting well with me. I know some outside influences caused some of the drama but at this point it’s getting ridiculous.
Keon sucks his teeth.
KEON CAMP: So I’m ready to hear what your issue is with me so we can dead this little beef we have and moved the fuck on.
KEON CAMP: I already know Todrick has been running his mouth about my relationship, to my knowledge he’s even spoken about me to the blogs and I just don’t understand why. I get he wants to flaunt his fraudulent relationship to the public but don’t be jealous of mine because it’s real.
Keon shrugs.
KEON CAMP: All I know is he needs to keep my name and my relationship out of his mouth.
The scene cuts back to the two.
TODRICK TABOR: I won’t disagree with you about the weird tension but from where I sit, it is one-sided. One minute you are hot and the next minute when we are around the entire group, you are cold. I have agonized over the why. Is something being said about me when I am not around? I thought we got over the stuff about your ex and talked that out. I can’t place it but I have NO ill will towards you.
KEON CAMP: I could have sworn we called a truce too but from what I’m hearing you’ve had a lot to say about my relationship with Yeshua.
TODRICK TABOR: Keon, the only person I have talked to about that situation is Austin, and we both know that he only really talks to me. I’m sorry my dear, but you received bad information. I have not nor will I be addressing that publicly.
Keon shakes his head.
KEON CAMP: But why are you and Austin discussing my business anyway? If you two were friends then you wouldn’t talk about it at all. This past year has been rough for me, I have the media slandering my name, people around me threatening to fight me and the last thing I need are my so-called friends gossiping about me.
Keon reaches for his drink and drinks half the cup, he raises his glass in the air motioning for one of the waiters to refill his drink.
KEON CAMP: I rarely meddle in your business or your relationship. I won’t get into the back and forth banter but what you and Austin got going on is none of your business. You don’t see me gossiping with Amonte about how you brought a guy that both you and Austin sleep with, yea I heard that but you don’t see me running around the group talking about it.
KEON CAMP: Yea I heard that the Ramsey’s added a third party to their relationship, but I kept that information to myself. I could have blasted them all over social media and judged their relationship like they judge mine.
TODRICK TABOR: Okay, is he for real right now? Is he comparing my relationship with Austin to the same type of relationship that he has with Amonte? Is that happening right now?
The scene cuts back to the two. It is now Todrick who takes a shot and then chases it with half the drink.
TODRICK TABOR: Okay, a lot to unwrap there. First, Austin and I are more than friends, at this point we are practically married. I am fully expecting him to pop the question any day now. I talk to him as a sounding board, and he keeps me grounded. I intentionally don’t discuss your relationship with anyone else because that is your business. I was there for you when things ended and you were hurting. That was genuine and I hated to see you in such pain. That doesn’t just go away because someone with zero proof tells you that I have said or done something. You are smarter than that, especially when the person hates me for no good reason and is spreading my business just like he spreaded yours in the first place. Perhaps that is where you should take a closer look.
Todrick pauses.
TODRICK TABOR: Lately, between all my gigs, managing Austin, and trying to stay sane, I don’t have time for anything else. I love him, but Austin can be a full time job. This third person is the same thing as the foreclosure, delinquent bills, etc, zero proof but it is continuously put out into the universe. I shouldn’t have to constantly defend myself about those untruths but I do. So hopefully you can see that I don’t have time for unnecessary drama. I just wanted peace and a real friendship with you. That’s all I have ever wanted
TODRICK TABOR: I can’t be more sincere with him than I am right now. We both know where the problem stems from but he has to stand up to his friend and say enough.
Todrick sips his drink and calls for another shot and a drink.
KEON CAMP: I honestly didn’t know how to feel, part of me felt like Todrick was being sincere while the other part felt like he was going to be shady the minute he left the room. But I’ll have to admit what he said made sense, i don’t think we’ll ever be friends but we can at least be cordial. I’m just confused right now.
The scene cuts back to the two, Todrick starts sipping on his drink while Keon finishes off another shot.
KEON CAMP: You were there for me after my breakup with my ex I will say that and we did have a moment.
Keon pauses.
KEON CAMP: I don’t know where we go from here but what I do know is that I won’t talk or spread any true or false information about you and Austin. You’re right, repeating a rumor is just as bad as the blogs putting them out there and since I don’t like it done to me, I shouldn’t turn around and do it to you.
Keon raises his glass.
KEON CAMP: Let's just toast to a good remainder of the trip and forget about all the bullshit we went through in the past and this time actually mean it.
Keon chuckles. Todrick smiles.
TODRICK: No need to rush things until you are comfortable, and I’m okay with that. I will toast to that and consider it all forgotten. I’m glad we had this chat.
Todrick and Keon clink their glasses and smile. The scene cuts to Austin and JPK. Austin looks around and notices that Keon is missing. A worried look crosses his face.
AUSTIN RAMSEY: Well this might present a problem. When was the last time you saw Keon? I hope he isn’t making trouble for Toddy right now.
JORDAN PARKER•KANE: I have no idea. I think I saw her getting a drink.
AUSTIN RAMSEY: See that is where Toddy went off to. She was getting us drinks, and they have been gone a long time. Toddy can handle herself but I don’t want any bullshit today, man.
JORDAN PARKER•KANE: Relax, like you said Toddy can handle it.
JORDAN PARKER•KANE: Gotta keep this man chill on this boat. He gets worked up, someone is getting tossed.
Back to the boat with JPK and Austin.
JORDAN PARKER•KANE: Enjoy the fresh air and the view here. I'm sure Toddy will be back any moment.
Austin shrugs and twiddles his fingers while shaking his leg.
AUSTIN RAMSEY: Yeah, I guess. I suppose deep down I know you are right.
JORDAN PARKER•KANE: I'm Always right, my friend.
JORDAN PARKER•KANE: 60% of the time, at least.
AUSTIN RAMSEY: Well bullshit aside, how are you enjoying the trip so far?
Austin continues to fidget and starts squirming in his seat. JPK watches and shakes his head a bit.
JORDAN PARKER•KANE: It's been fun. Nothings really been bad so far, and it looks like everyone is getting along today. So far, I'd say it's been a success.
AUSTIN RANSEY: I know, I know, I’m not being a good friend or host right now. You know how I am about Toddy. That’s the love of my life right there. I’m 100% gonna put a ring on it and give her my last name soon. I want everything to be perfect on this trip. That isn’t Jordan’s problem though. Imma have to lighten up.
The scene cuts back to the two.
AUSTIN RAMSEY: Sorry man, I’m present now, and focused. Yeah, so far, so good, I even saw Cadence and Amonte come back looking like they buried the hatchet. I’m happy for them. I suppose that is what Keon and Toddy could be doing. That would be nice, because if me and Amonte can do it, anyone can. I have hope. We gotta sneak away later, just the three of us and do something fun.
JORDAN PARKER•KANE: No doubt!
Jordan smiles and looks out at the water.
JORDAN PARKER•KANE: That is quite something to look at. Never thought this is somewhere I'd be a few months ago.
AUSTIN RAMSEY: Me either. But I’m glad that I’m here. Also happy with the company I’m keeping these days.
The scene shows the group enjoying the scenery. Todrick and Keon rejoin the group and they look as if weight has been lifted off of their shoulders. People are smiling and sipping their drinks, and being civilized to one another. It looks like there may be hope for this group afterall...at least for the rest of the day anyway. Tune in for episode five to see what tomorrow brings.
AMONTE JORDAN: KEEP MY FUCKING NAME OUT OF YOUR MOUTH!
The scene opens up with a scrambled image on the television, all you hear is yelling, glasses being thrown and wine being spilled all throughout the room. The scene shows Amonte, Alexis, Keon, Todrick, Austin and Trapp all in one room.
NASIR “TRAPP” GRANT: Chill Amonte, just chill the fuck out.
Trapp tries to hold onto Amonte but Amonte continues to try and force his way from Trapp’s arm.
AMONTE JORDAN: WHY THE FUCK IS ALEXIS TELLING GEON ABOUT MY PERSONAL BUSINESS, GET GEON IN HERE RIGHT FUCKING NOW!
Producers scurry away trying to find Geon, on the other side of the room Todrick and Austin are shown being held back by security after Amonte tossed wine at them.
TODRICK: This bitch has lost his rabid ass mind. But I’m going to help him find it and lead his ass to the promised land.
AUSTIN RAMSEY: This is fucking bullshit! You couldn’t wait to ruin something special. All over petty ass gossip? But you crossed the line when you threw that glass at Todrick. Now I gotta drag you.
Geon finally enters the room with producers and security and watches the drama unfold as the group continues arguing back and forth with each other.
GEON TAYLOR: What the hell is going on?
GEON TAYLOR: I hear all this commotion going on and next thing I know, production is dragging me right toward it. I don't know what's happening. But I guess I'm about to find out.
Security forces everyone out of the room but the yelling continues as the scene fades out again.
