086 - I love you 27.06.07

Craig is unimpressed by Sarah's new modelling friends and becomes even more annoyed as Sarah suggests he invite John Paul to join them for dinner.
Back at the McQueens. John-Paul opens the door to see Craig standing there. He is not pleased to see him and rolls his eyes.

Craig: Why did you run off?
John-Paul: I had stuff to do, I told you.
Craig (walking in): Yeah. Why did you really run off? Go on, don’t spare my feelings.
John-Paul (closing the door): You’re being paranoid.
Craig: You weren’t there to chat with me. You made that obvious.
John-Paul: Well, what was I supposed to do, just ignore Sarah’s mates?

Craig: What’s so special about them? They’re shallow, self-obsessed fakes.
John-Paul: Fakes?! Coming from the guy who can’t admit to what he is?
Craig (breaking eye contact): What’s that supposed to mean?
John-Paul: You know what, Craig? I really don’t want to have to go through this….
Craig: No, go on, tell me.
John-Paul: You’re living a lie. You know you are. You sit there with Sarah like you want everyone to believe you’re in love with her but you’re not, are you?
Craig (holding up his index finger as if to check his temper): That’s not true. (John-Paul rolls his eyes) I love Sarah. She’s my girlfriend.
John-Paul: Yeah, I know. Because you’re too much of a coward to admit you want a boyfriend.
Craig (shaking his head): I can’t do this again. He moves towards the door but John-Paul gets there first.
John-Paul: No, you’re right, not this again. So will you please just get out now.

Craig (stroking his throat and barely looking at John-Paul): I thought we were okay with everything……
John-Paul: Really? Okay with what you’re doing to Sarah or what you’re doing to your conscience?
Craig: Just leave Sarah out of this.
John-Paul (outraged): How can I, she’s involved?! (John-Paul closes the door) You know, I am so glad that I don’t have anymore secrets or shame or anything because it was killing me.
Craig (proudly): I love her. I love Sarah. She’s beautiful. She’s funny. She’s right for me.
John-Paul: Well, you’ve made your choice, haven’t you?
Craig: Its not about choice. It’s how I feel. It’s different with you. It’s not just about the sex. (A long pause) I love you. (Another long pause as the gravity of this sinks into John-Paul’s mind) I love both of you.
John-Paul: I’ve tried to handle this. I really have, but I can’t do it anymore. It’s killing me watching you with Sarah.
Craig (moving towards John-Paul): How do you think I feel? I’m not using her as a cover. I really do love her but it’s difficult for me because of the way I feel for you.
John-Paul: I know all of that, alright, I really do, but I sorry, you’re gonna have to make a decision:It’s either Sarah or me. (Craig moves closer to John-Paul, looking at him deep in the eye before breaking eye contact again) You can’t make a choice, can you?
John-Paul can’t look at him. Craig takes a deep breath and kisses him. It is deep, passionate and magical and leaves them both slightly breathless. They break the kiss and stand there, Craig’s hand on the side of John-Paul’s face, their foreheads touching.













Craig: This can’t stop. What we have between us, I know you want this too.
John-Paul: Craig……
Craig: I can’t stop thinking about you…….
John-Paul (whispering): Do you wanna……..?

Craig nods and when they get to the stairs, he looks back at John-Paul for a moment before taking his hand.














Later. John-Paul kisses Craig gleefully before they sit on the bed, kiss again and the camera pans away.













Later. They are in bed, Craig dozing on John-Paul’s chest when the phone rings. It is Sarah. John-Paul is waiting for Craig to answer it. Craig lifts his head to look at the phone and chooses to ignore it. John-Paul smiles and kisses the top of Craig’s head.

084 - get out 11.06.07

Craig is asleep and dreaming he is asleep with John Paul; however, he awakens and is actually with Sarah; he appeares disappointed. Craig and Sarah enjoy each other's company, glad their relationship is back on track. However, Craig becomes uneasy when Sarah calls John Paul over to join them. Craig is uncomfortable in John Paul's presence. John Paul is also upset and does not want to talk to him. Later, at the McQueens', Craig turns up, angry with John Paul's earlier behaviour. As they argue, John Paul demands Craig stay away, otherwise he will tell Sarah about Craig's secret.

John Paul’s bedroom, later. John-Paul opens the door to see Craig standing there. He is not pleased to see him and rolls his eyes
Craig: "What were you playing at? (He turns around) Mm? Trying to make out that you and Spike aren’t working? Were you trying to throw off the scent? Is that what you were doing? Because it didn’t work. She’s more interested in your sex life than ever before. (John-Paul gets up from the bed and walks over to his decks and switches off the music) We’re going to have to get rid of him, thats the only way to shut her up.
John-Paul (meaning it): Don’t you dare tell me what to do.
Craig: You don’t care about him. (He moves towards John-Paul and caresses his arm) It’s me you want.
John-Paul: As long as I don’t mind sharing.



Craig: I’m here now.
John-Paul: Yeah. (He looks at Craig’s hand on his arm) Tomorrow you’ll be back with Sarah.
Craig drops his hand and momentarily breaks eye contact. John-Paul wraps his arms around himself, his eyes on the floor and one hand where Craig’s had just been.
Craig: Maybe….um… I want you both. (John-Paul raises his eyes to Craig’s face) Don’t make me choose.
John-Paul: You already have.
Craig (moving towards John-Paul and speaking very softly with come-to-bed eyes): Come on, John-Paul. We can handle it.
John-Paul (resisting - just): You can. I can’t. Because sooner or later, I’m gonna grab you and I’m gonna kiss you and I’m not gonna care who’s around to see it.
Craig (edgy): You wouldn’t do that.
John-Paul: Wouldn’t I? (He moves away towards the door and holds it open) So if you really want to keep this a secret, I suggest you leave me the hell alone. Now get out. (Craig doesn’t move) GET OUT!!!!
Craig leaves.

Later. John-Paul is punching his boxing bag repeatedly, sweat dripping down him. He stops and collapses on the bed, his chest moving up and do

wn. He closes his eyes.
Craig is lying on his bed, staring at the ceiling. The light on his face is cold and clincal and he looks rigid and brittle. He folds his arms over himself and rolls over, foetal and vulnerable.

083 - why can't I have both? 08.06.07

JP finds Craig's watch at home and, remembering the last night, he is happy.

Later John Paul sees Craig and seems almost glad to see him. But Craig is not.
JP asks Craig if he's pretending to deny all again. And Craig says no. John Paul assures Craig he does not need to rush into coming out.
But JP cant deny his feelings.
JP: " Iwant you, allright, I wanna be with you"
But Craig is still in denial.
Craig: "And we can be. We can carry on seeing eachoters but it doesn mean I have to finish with Sarah. I know that now".
Craig: "I love her, I want her and that never gonna change"..
but then Craig:"with you is different"
Craig: "it doesn mean we have to stop seeing eachothers. WHY CAN'T I HAVE BOTH?"
John Paul is stunned.













As they sit under a tree, Craig insists he's sorted everything out in his head, he is not gay, and never will be, but this does not mean that he and John Paul cannot have sex from time to time, they could still continue to see each other, no one gets hurt.
But JP reminds Craig how he is in love with him.
JP: "And what about me? Have you got any idea what it does to me watching you and Sarah all over eachoter?"



JP still tries to convince Craig, saying he can take good care of him as much as Sarah.
JP: "But you wanna be with me as much as I wanna be with you"
Craig: "You r living in a fantasy world"
JP: " I'm sick of being used"

An unfazed Craig tells John Paul whether he likes it or not, they both know how it's gonna end up
Craig:" All the same. Next time I come knocking youll be there. I know it and you know it".
John Paul doesn't answer and leaves.
Later on, Craig convinces Sarah to take him back and as they kiss and make up, John Paul looks on, heartbroken.
