/"Hey. Come on. It's not that simple." Aiden says, amused at Tayaw.
"True. It's not simple, and it's a gross generalization. But that doesn't mean there's no truth with what I'm saying. Look, the guys are with me on this, they're cheering. Look at that couple over there. Ma'am, you're glaring too much at your man." Tayaw says as he points his hand to a couple in the crowd.
The camera also pans to the couple, but the show edited their faces to be censored.
"Tell me, Sir. Don't you have to do whatever she wants? If you don't, she'll get mad. Right?" Tayaw asks the man in the couple.
The man tries to ignore Tayaw's question while shifting in his seat.
"I have great eyes, and I can see, sir, from your face, that you agree. You just don't want to admit it in the presence of ma'am on your side. If you had disagreed with me immediately, then you have no problem but because you hesitated, it's over. Just say you agree with me. Either way, you're gonna have an awkward car ride home." Tayaw says with an almost sadistic grin.
The crowd this time, is brewing in chatter.
After the crowd calms down, "I mean, what is she gonna do? Withhold… physical company in bed? Kick you out of the bed? You can just sleep on the couch for a couple of nights, drinking beer while watching the game, and you'll be fine. It's not like I'm making you two break-up." Tayaw continues, and with that, the men in the crowd exploded in laughter and cheer.
"I disagree." The man manages to get his word out, despite the noise.
Tayaw nods at him. "You disagree? Good. Smart man. But too late." Tayaw says smugly.
The man then stands up and whispers to his lady, their body language showing signs that they are about to walk out of the studio./
"Oh my god, it's gonna be a TV disaster!" Lexi exclaims in excitement watching the proceedings.
"This never happened in TV. EVER. HAHA!!" Peter also says, sharing Lexi's excitement.
"I hope he won't get attacked for this." Holly says in worry.
/"Alright, alright! Don't leave. I'm sorry, man. I'll buy you a beer after this. I'll give you a signed CD too." Tayaw says, stopping the couple from leaving.
"Ma'am, did I make you uncomfortable? I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'll reserve a nice dinner for you two. Please, stay. I'll stop now." Tayaw continues his apology.
"I mean, what can an 18-year-old kid know about relationsh.i.p.s, right?" Tayaw smirks at Aiden.
Aiden, while amused at Tayaw's comment, has become serious once again to control his show, after Tayaw involved the audience.
"But, seriously. I think a girl would make you happy, and your life will improve. I mean, I got myself together once I met my wife." Aiden advises.
"True. That's very true. But I have my sh*t together right now and I'm doing great without romance. I mean, I make a good living, I have a good home, I have great friends, I cook and eat healthy, I'm as fit as a pro athlete, and I clean my house spotless. I'M MOTIVATED!" Tayaw says as he slams his hand on the arm of the couch, feigning his seriousness and resolve like a politician on a podium. *laughter* *Applause*/
"Hmm. I pity whoever the girl Tayaw will fall in love with." Charlotte comments this time, Lexi's quip earlier has opened her up to accept Tayaw's opinions.
"Why?" Peter asks.
"I don't know. Women's goal in a marriage aside from raising a family, is to either improve or control their man. Tayaw is already perfect and if his lady is gonna be decent, she's gonna feel useless." Charlotte says.
"Meh. He's gonna be lonely sooner or later. Guys at some point would crave for companionship and… *whispers* s.e.x. He's gonna learn how to compromise." Peter says, his words to compensate for offending Charlotte earlier, and half as a sincere opinion.
East Hampton Village, New York
/ "At some point, it will get boring though? To a talented guy like you, you would definitely want to have fun, right? And it's great to have fun with someone." Aiden has the same opinion as Peter.
"I'm already having fun, man. If I'm getting uninspired writing songs, then I'll write and make a film. If making a film gets tedious, I'll go back to writing songs. If I get bored in writing songs and writing a film, I'll practice my guitar. In summary, I'm too busy having so much fun and a great chance of ruining the fun isn't worth it for me." Tayaw says. /
"Ahh. This kid." Gonzalo shakes his head while watching 'Late Night With Aiden Gerty' through the television in his study.
"It's gonna be hard for him to find a girl. At this point, a woman can only hold him back. That's saying a lot coming from me." A brown skinned woman in her 30s, dressed in a pair of pale blue scrubs, comments next to Gonzalo.
"My granddaughter is a great match for him, Kayla." Gonzalo tells his private nurse.
"Well, if it's Miss Juliana, then I can see her and this young man as a couple." Kayla says half obsequiously and half serious.
/"Heh. Well, I guess I can't go anywhere trying to set you up. You're a special case after all." Aiden says, to conclude the topic, intending to switch topics once again.
"AH. You know what I'm gonna do?" Tayaw suddenly asks.
"Oh boy…" Aiden exaggerates his sigh at the unpredictability of Tayaw, his reaction amusing the crowd.
"What?" Aiden asks.
"I'm gonna get a dog." Tayaw says, with a pause for Aiden to process.
"A dog?" Aiden asks.
"Yeah. A dog. Now, a dog's love is true love, Aiden. They're sad when you leave, they're happy when you're home." Tayaw prefaces, the audience once again are giggling in anticipation at what Tayaw is implying.
"Are you saying that a dog is better than a woman?" Aiden asks after he himself recovers from laughing.
"I'm not saying that. I'm just saying that a dog can add to my happiness." Tayaw clarifies.
"Are you saying that women can't add anything to a man's happiness?" Aiden twists Tayaw's words for the audience's giggles.
"I'm not saying that either. I'm saying that women can't add anything to MY happiness right now." Tayaw explains. "Ooohhhhhh" The crowd express their impression at Tayaw's logic.
"Do you have a dog?" Tayaw asks once again.
"Yeah. I do, and I love her." Aiden says, not sure where Tayaw is leading the conversation but some people in the crowd are already giggling again because the last time Tayaw asked a question to Aiden, Aiden was forced to discomfort.
"What kind? What's its name?" Tayaw asks.
"A Field Spaniel, and her name is Lola. You should get a field spaniel, I mean, Lola's nice." Aiden recommends, still staying on the dog topic.
"Any dog is great really. But that's not the point. When you get home, who's happier to see you? Mrs. Gerty, or Lola?" Tayaw asks. The question resulted in an uproar in the audience once again./
"Ah. God help me." Gonzalo is half frustrated and half tickled at Tayaw's comments.
"Hahaha. This is so true!" Kayla giggles.
"I hope he's just saying this for fun. He gave me his word." Gonzalo says.
"Oh. You set Miss Juliana up with him?" Kayla asks.
"Yes. This kid even got her cell number. But it's been months now, and Juliana said he hasn't called, or even sent a text." Gonzalo says.
"Maybe he's just busy preparing your film. A man should be either gay, or out of his mind to not go out with Miss Juliana for at least one date." Kayla comments.
"I hope you're right." Gonzalo shakes his head.
"Are you really sure about setting him up with Miss Juliana? I mean, entertainment people aren't exactly what you may consider… faithful." Kayla says.
"True… But Tayaw is different. I had him investigated and he's not the promiscuous type." Gonzalo says.
"That's good then... Still, he's talented and all. But he's still an outsider to your world." Kayla says.
"True. But that doesn't mean he won't be. He's only made one film, and he's already matched my wealth when I was his age. He's also very motivated." Gonzalo says.
"Sir, Tayaw and Juliana are still very young. Tayaw may be a good kid now, but you know what wealth does to good men." Kayla says.
"You're right again. And it's not like I'm hoping for the two to actually become a couple, I just want Juliana to spend more time with a person like Tayaw. And Tayaw being a hardworking, motivated young man is exactly the perfect person I want Juliana to spend her time with. Not other jaded, unmotivated trust fund children who never learned responsibility." Gonzalo says. This has Kayla's interest.
"To Juliana, I'm just lovely grandfather, that's all. Her parents and uncle, to her, are just her family that loves her very much. But in her age, now that she's her own woman, and has her own thoughts, we can no longer teach her like we used to. She was already hard to teach when she was a child, and we also spoiled her too much." Gonzalo shakes his head.
Kayla is thinking that Gonzalo is entering his late-night musings again, so she hypes herself up to prevent boredom while not interrupting. Half of her job after all is to listen to Gonzalo's ramblings.
"My time is near. Sylvio and Delfina's time will come too. And with how my grandchildren are acting right now, I don't feel hopeful that they can keep what we will pass down to them." Gonzalo continues. This makes Kayla's mind entertain many ideas.
'Is he thinking of passing Tayaw some of the wealth? No. That's not it. The kid's basically a stranger.' Kayla thinks to herself.
"Sylvio's sons are lost causes. Juliana, on the other hand, is still young and can be taught." Gonzalo says.
"You said that she's hard to teach?" Kayla asks.
"From us, his family, yes, she's hardheaded. But I know that children her age tend to learn more from people closer to their age. I am hoping that she would learn, even without realizing, from someone who has achieved something she could have." Gonzalo says. Kayla also is starting to understand.
"You want Miss Juliana to be influenced by Tayaw's hard work and motivation…" Kayla concludes for Gonzalo.
"Precisely." Gonzalo nods. "But looking at Tayaw here, I think it's going to be harder to get them to hang out. And even though he's joking, I can tell that he is sincere in his opinion about relationsh.i.p.s, which surprises even me. He's too motivated and too busy to even entertain the idea of having a woman." Gonzalo sighs.
"Well. That doesn't mean that they can't be close friends, right? If you want them to interact with each other for a long time, then I think the two being just friends will do a better job." Kayla suggests.
Gonzalo raises his brows at the unusually sound suggestion from Kayla.
"Indeed… Lovers who are not meant to be, most of the time, do not part in the best of agreements." Gonzalo nods.

And with how my grandchildren are acting right now, I don't feel hopeful that they can keep what we will pass down to them." Gonzalo continues. This makes Kayla's mind entertain many ideas. 'Is he thinking of passing Tayaw some of the wealth? No. That's not it. The kid's basically a stranger.' Kayla thinks to herself. "Sylvio's sons are lost causes. Juliana, on the other hand, is still young and can be taught." Gonzalo says. "You said that she's hard to teach?" Kayla asks. "From us, his family, yes, she's hardheaded. But I know that children her age tend to learn more from people closer to their age. I am hoping that she would learn, even without realizing, from someone who has achieved something she could have." Gonzalo says. Kayla also is starting to understand. "You want Miss Juliana to be influenced by Tayaw's hard work and motivation" Kayla concludes for Gonzalo. "Precisely." Gonzalo nods. "But looking at Tayaw here, I think it's going to be harder to get them to hang out. And even though he's joking, I can tell that he is sincere in his opinion about relationsh.i.p.s, which surprises even me. He's too motivated and too busy to even entertain the idea of having a woman." Gonzalo sighs. "Well. That doesn't mean that they can't be close friends, right? If you want them to interact with each other for a long time, then I think the two being just friends will do a better job." Kayla suggests. Gonzalo raises his brows at the unusually sound suggestion from Kayla. "Indeed Lovers who are not meant to be, most of the time, do not part in the best of agreements." Gonzalo nods.
