INT. LUKE'S PASTRY SHOP - MORNING
LUKE IS A SKINNY CHISELED MAN WITH BLUE EYES AND DARK BLONDE HAIR. HE IS WEARING A RED AND BLACK FLANNEL THIN JACKET OVER A GREY TEE-SHIRT. HE IS TALKING TO HIS BEST FRIEND LUKE WHO IS WEARING A BLUE AND BLACK SWEATER. HE IS WEARING KHAKI PANTS AND A BLUE AND BLACK SNOW CAP THAT MATCHES THE SWEATER.HE IS A LOGGER WITH A BEARD AND HE IS SKINNY. HE IS 5 FOOT 10 AND JOHN IS 6 FEET TALL. HE IS A LITTLE SHORTER BUT HE IS A LITTLE STRONGER THAN JOHN. JOHN IS HAVING A COFFEE SITTING AT THE COUNTER AND LUKE IS ON THE OTHER SIDE TALKING TO JOHN.
LUKE
Look at here over there. I have been working here for years and she comes along to sell her pottery.
(he says in an annoyed complaining voice.)
JOHN
What is so wrong with that Luke?
(He says in a slightly gruff voice.)
LUKE
Well we were both at the supermarket and she cuts in front of me in line with a cart full of items!
(he says aggressive and annoyed.)
JOHN
Well why didn't you go into a different aisle?
LUKE
They other ones were all full! Not only that but going into the supermarket she took the parking spot I was clearly going for!
JOHN
Why don't you try to make piece with her?
LUKE
Why?!
(He says angrily.)
2.
 
JOHN
Well you are going to be work neighbors for a long time.
LUKE
Well how do you expect me to do that?
JOHN
I don't know; take her a pastry.
LUKE
Fine but I am not taking her one of the good ones.
INT. THE POTTERY SHOP - MOMENTS LATER
LUKE
Here I thought you might like one.
(He said while throwing the pastry on the counter with no introduction.)
ANNABEL
What is your name?
LUKE
Luke
ANNABEL
Well Luke do you talk like that to everyone?
LUKE
Look lady,I was being nice to you!Even though i’m not sure why!
ANNABEL
Have I done Something to you?
LUKE
You cut me off twice yesterday at the supermarket.
ANNABEL
Well I am sooo sorry.
(She said sarcastically.)
INT. LUKE'S BEDROOM - NIGHT
Luke was home thinking to himself how she could be so rude.
3.
 
 
EXT. LUKE'S PASTRY SHOP.
Luke was surprised to see in the morning a Vase with flowers on it and on the vase were the words I'm sorry.she picked the vase up off his doorstep.he figured this was a nice gesture and felt he should give one in return.
INT. THE POTTERY SHOP - LATER
LUKE
I got your apology and I felt I should apologize too so I'm sorry. I like the vase; thank you.
(he said feeling as if he was a fool for being so mad.)
Annabel felt the same way about Luke's pastries but he had already left the shop. Annabel figured she would express that somehow.
ENT. LUKE'S PASTRY SHOP - MORNING
Luke showed up to work and again he found another gift on his doorstep. The item on the doorstep was an ashtray that said I like your pastries too. Luke feeling a little happy walked over to Annabel's shop with a better pastry then the last in hand.
LUKE
thank you for the gift but I don't smoke.
(he said not trying to sound unappreciative.)
ANNABEL
I know it's for your friend over there.
(She said looking at John through the windows of the two shops with a smile.)
LUKE
Why?
(He said sounding kind of jealous.)
ANNABEL
For telling you to come over here with the pastry.
 
(she said with a look on her face showing that she knew.)
4.
 
 
Luke walked out with a grin showing his bright white toothed smile. Feeling like a happy fool. Annabel saw his smile and stayed at her shop thinking of how his face looked.
EXT. LUKE'S PASTRY SHOP - MORNING
Luke went to work to find another gift on his doorstep. He grabbed the item which was a coffee cup that said I like your smile. Luke grinned at what the cup had said. He walked over with a better pastry then last in hand once again.
LUKE
Thanks it something I don't do often
(he said with a little grin on his face.)
ANNABEL
Really? You know with that smile you should more often.
EXT. LUKE'S PASTRY SHOP - MORNING
This morning Luke was walking to work cheerfully more happily that he had been in a long time. He reached his shop and on the doorstep he found a plate that asked the question do you like mine? He knew Annabel had made the plate and he looked over to her shop. She was in the shop with a coffee cup she had made years ago with a smile on her face. Luke went to her shop with an even better pastry then the last yet again.
LUKE
Yes I Like your smile.
LUKE WENT BACK TO HIS SHOP WHERE HIS REGULAR CUSTOMER AND BEST FRIEND JOHN WAS WAITING WITH A SMILE ON HIS FACE THAT KIND OF SAID I TOLD YOU SAY.
JOHN
So it looks like you are falling for her.
5.
 
 
LUKE
Of course not.
(He said seriously but with a smile on his face that showed he was lying out of his teeth. )
JOHN
So what's the name of this girl who you definitely don't like?
LUKE SMILED AND WENT TO SAY HER NAME BUT THEN HE REALIZED HE DID NOT YET NO HER NAME. JOHN WAS SITTING AT THE COUNTER WAITING FOR AN ANSWER AND THEN OUT OF NOWHERE LUKE RAN OUT OF THE PASTRY SHOP AND RAN TO ANNABEL'S SHOP.
LUKE
What is your name? I mean you know mine but what is yours?
ANNABEL
You will know later.
(She said with a little secretive smile.)
EXT. LUKE'S PASTRY SHOP - MORNING
LUKE APPROACHED HIS DOORSTEP AT THE SHOP AND FOUND A BEAUTIFUL LITTLE PLANT POT AND IT SAID MY NAME IS ANNABEL. LUKE THOUGHT THAT WAS A BEAUTIFUL NAME AND HE WENT TO THE BACK AND MADE A PASTRY.
JOHN
So how is it going with the girl?
LUKE
Annabel
LUKE WENT OVER TO ANNABEL'S SHOP AS HE CARRIED THE PASTRY WITH A SMILE ON HIS FACE. HE LOOKED TO THE WINDOW TO SEE ANNABEL TALKING TO HER LANDLORD.
LANDLORD
I don't care if you want to stay. I have other clients who want to buy this spot for double the price.
ANNABEL
But please sir I need this!
6.
 
 
LANDLORD
Sorry it is too late you have 3 days to be out of here.
THE LANDLORD THEN LEFT WITH NO COMPASSION. LUKE WALKED IN TO THE SHOP TO CHEER UP THE SAD ANNABEL. ANNABEL WAS WIPING THE TEARS OFF HER FACE WHEN LUKE WALKED IN.
LUKE
I am sorry that this is happening. If you need someone to talk to or need help I am right over there.
ANNABEL
Thank you Luke. I appreciate that.
LUKE
I like the name Annabel. Hey why do you write words on all of the gifts?
ANNABEL
Come back here tomorrow.
EXT. LUKE'S PASTRY SHOP - MORNING
Luke was walking to work thinking to himself what did Annabel mean by that? He walked up to his doorstep and was kind of concerned because there was no gift this morning. He walked over to the pottery shop to see Annabel holding a guitar. She began to sing.
ANNABEL
SO YOU WANT TO KNOW ME? YOU REALLY WANT TO SEE? ON THE FIRST DAY I APOLOGIZED... SORRY FOR NOT SPEAKING OF THE BEAUTY IN YOUR EYES. THE NEXT DAY I COULD'NT EXPLAIN GREATLY I WAS ON A JOURNEY ON WHICH YOUR FOOD TAKES ME. THE CUP WAS A TASTE OF THE FEELINGS I HELD IN... I LOVED YOUR SMILE WITH YOUR WHITE TOOTH LITTLE GRIN. THE PLATE WAS SO YOU'D COME IN ONE TIME SO I WROTE A STUPID QUESTION SAYING DO YOU LIKE MINE? THE PLANTED POT WAS THE FUTURE I COULD FEEL I SAW THE POT IN OUR WINDOWSILL.

ANNABEL
So did you like it.
7.
 
 
LUKE
You will get my answer tomorrow.
LUKE LEFT THE SHOP AND WENT BACK TO HIS OWN SHOP. WHEN HE WENT TO GO HOME HE FOUND A GLASS CUP SAYING I CAN HARDLY WAIT! LUKE STARTING WALKING TO HIS SHOP BUT HE ARRIVED MUCH LATER THAN NORMAL. HE WAS DRIVEN TO WORK BY HIS FRIEND JOHN. HE GRABBED THE CUP THAT WAS ON THE DOORSTEP AND WENT INSIDE HIS SHOP. HE SPENT A HOUR AND A HALF BEFORE GOING OVER TO ANNABEL'S SHOP. HE WALKED IN WITH HIS FAVORITE PASTRY.
LUKE
Here

HE THEN LEFT AND THIS MADE ANNABEL DISCOURAGED. SHE DID NOT KNOW WHAT SHE DID TO MAKE HIM LEAVE. SHE WONDERED IF SHE HAD EXPRESSED HER EMOTIONS FOR LUKE TO QUICKLY. SHE OPENED THE BOX TO SEE THE PASTRY INSIDE BUT SHE THEN CLOSED THE BOX AND WENT TO THE BACK OF THE SHOP SAD. SHE SAT IN THE BACK ROOM AND CRIED.
INT. THE POTTERY SHOP - MOMENTS LATER
She sat there not having the motivation to carry on with her day. Lunch time came around but she had left her lunch at home. She was so distracted in the morning because she was anxious because she was waiting to see if Luke liked the song or not. She got up and grabbed the pastry. She left the box and went to the back room. A customer walked in and the bell rang.
ANNABEL
How may I help you.
(she said in a sad and somber voice.)
CUSTOMER
I would like a vase please.
ANNABEL
One second let me get it.
CUSTOMER
Aw that is so sweet.
ANNABEL
What?
8.
 
 
CUSTOMER
Well the note in this box says "I have a ring with me; would you marry me?
ANNABEL
What? I have to go
CUSTOMER
But what about my vase?
ANNABEL
Just grab one!
(She said as she ran out of the store.)
ANNABEL RAN OUTSIDE TO SEE THROUGH THE WINDOW LUKE SITTING ON A BENCH BY JOHN. HE WAS SITTING THERE WITH THE RING JUST RUBBING THE RING AND HE SEEMED TO BE LONGING FOR SOMETHING. ANNABEL RAN INTO THE SHOP.
ANNABEL
Luke!
LUKE
Annabel!
ANNABEL
Yes of course I will marry you!
JOHN
Whooo! Congrats you two!
LUKE PUT THE RING ON ANNABEL'S FINGER. LUKE JUMPED UP IN THE AIR AND CHEERED. ANNABEL JUMPED UP AND CHEERED WITH HIM.
LUKE
I am truly in love.
ANNABEL
So am I.
JOHN
I knew you two would like each other.
LUKE
What do you mean?
9.
 
 
JOHN
Oh yeah did I mention that Annabel is my wife's best friend and she use to babysit our kids.
LUKE
No you did not mention that. You sly dog.
(He said smiling carefree.)
THE LANDLORD WALKED INTO ANNABEL'S SHOP AND WAS LOOKING AROUND THROUGH THE SHOP. HE WAS BEING QUITE NOSY. ANNABEL SAW HIM THROUGH THE WINDOW AND THEN REALIZED SHE IS SUPPOSED TO HAVE HER STUFF OUT TOMORROW.
ANNABEL
Luke I love you but I have to figure some stuff out. That annoying jerk is ready to push me out and I have no idea what I'm going to do. I need this job to pay my rent.
(She said annoyed and stressed.)
LUKE
You will move in with me. I mean you are my wife to be.
ANNABEL
I will move in with you Luke but I also love what I do.
LUKE
What if you do your pottery here? We could sell pastries and pottery.
ANNABEL
Really!? You would do all of this for me!?
(She asked emotionally with tears of joy in her eyes.)
ANNABEL GAVE LUKE A HUG AND WITH HER ARMS AROUND HIM SHE BEGAN TO DRY HER TEARS. LUKE LIFTED HER HEAD UP AND KISSED HER.
LUKE
I would do anything for you. I would even smile.
(He said grinning and chuckling.)
10.
 
 
ANNABEL
You are the greatest person I have ever met.
JOHN
Guys I hate to interrupt this sweet moment but Mr. Jerk is coming over here.
THE LANDLORD ENTERED WITH A CONNIVING FAKE SMILE ON HIS FACE. LUKE AND ANNABEL SMILED A FAKE SMILE BACK. JOHN SIDESTEPPED SO THE LANDLORD COULD SEE HIM BEHIND LUKE AND ANNABEL. JOHN STOOD STARING COLDLY WITH HIS ARMS CROSSED.
LANDLORD
So are you ready to get your stuff off of my property.
ANNABEL
Yes I am because I will be over here with my stuff. I will also be over here with the love of my life. I hope you can find some love in your life too.
LUKE
Also by the way this side of the street is not owned by you so I will be doing everything in my power to help people see who you really are.
LANDLORD
That doesn't scare me.
(He said with another fake smile hiding that he really is worried.)
JOHN
I will to so everyone know.
ANNABEL
By now!
LANDLORD
But what about your stuff.
ANNABEL
Don't worry you will get your precious spot.

11.
 
 
Annabel closes the door on the landlord. The three HIGH five each other and they move into their new lives.
FADE OUT.
