SCENE 1:
Late Night, at TA. . . . .
[ Ski
walks in, seeing Amber
standing
at the front end. ]
AMBER: Is
it ten yet?
SKI: Not
quite. I came in a little
earlier.
[ She
sighs, then smiles. ]
AMBER: You
still need to
tell me
about what happened
on your
first night in London.
SKI: Oh
yeah.
[ Ski
looks away. ]
AMBER:
What is it? Don’t be
silent
now.
SKI: It’s
just. How do you feel
about
every once in awhile
involving
a third party in
things?
AMBER: You
mean, a threesome.
SKI: Yeah,
I met a guy there. And
Mark just
kind of went with it.
Next thing
I know I was waking
up between
them.
AMBER: As
long as it’s something
you both
agree on. Just don’t
let
something else cause a break
in your
relationship again.
SKI: Yeah,
I know what you mean.
AMBER:
Well, I should get home.
Have a
good night. I’ll text ya.
[ She
exits TheAisles. ]
SCENE 2:
At Jeszyca
& Larrie’s.
[ Jeszyca
is sitting in a
chair with
Larrie & Tiesun on
the couch
across from her. ]
JESZYCA:
You two look cozy. If I
didn’t
know better I’d say you
we’re
dating.
[ Tiesun
sits up, smiling. ]
TIESUN:
Nah, we’re just friends.
JESZYCA:
Uh huh. Well, whatever
you are
you both need to come
out with
me tonight.
[ Larrie
gets up, heading toward
the
kitchen. ]
LARRIE: Sorry. I’m making dinner
and we’re
watching movies.
JESZYCA:
Lame. Your suppose to
be my
wingman, you know.
TIESUN:
There is one more person
you could
ask. He’d be more than
willing to
help out.
[ She smirks
at Jeszyca. ]
JESZYCA:
Knew that was coming.
SCENE 3:
Outside Amber’s.
[ She arrives home &
Dyminic is
reading in the
living
room. ]
AMBER: Are
you making me
dinner?
[ Dyminic
smiles at her. ]
DYMINIC:
Yes. You caught me.
[ She sits
down next to him. ]
AMBER:
Thanks but you didn’t
have to do
that.
DYMINIC: I
know. I figured you
had a long
day though.
AMBER: It
was. What did you do?
DYMINIC:
Nothing. I didn’t have
any cases
to work on.
I’ll be
right back.
[ He disappears
into the kitchen &
Amber
notices his phone has slid
out of his
pocket onto the couch.
Suddenly
it lights up, without thinking
Amber
grabs it as a conversation
comes into
view. ]
“Making my
girlfriend dinner. Talk
soon. “
SCENE 4:
Downtown,
local Bar.
[ Jeszyca
& Vendor Q return
from the
dance floor to sip
drinks at
a nearby table. ]
VENDOR Q:
Thanks for the invite.
Random as
it was.
JESZYCA:
Right. Thanks for showing
up. After that fiasco before I
wasn’t
sure.
VENDOR Q:
You mean when you
made out
with me and then I
didn’t
hear from you.
[ Q
laughs. ]
VENDOR Q:
It was a test and I failed.
JESZYCA:
Hey, it wasn’t you. It was
your
gender.
VENDOR Q:
It’s cool. We’re friends.
So, has
any chick in here caught
your
interest?
[ Jeszyca
looks around while
Q takes
another drink. ]
JESZYCA:
Look, over there.
[ Q slowly
turns around. ]
SCENE 5:
Back at Amber’s.
[ Her
& Dyminic are at the
table
finishing their meals. ]
AMBER: Can
I ask you something?
[ Dyminic
stops & looks up. ]
DYMINIC:
Of course. Anything.
AMBER:
Okay. Do you consider me
your
girlfriend?
DYMINIC:
No. I mean, we’ve never
talked
about that.
[ He takes
a sip from his water. ]
AMBER: Why
did you tell someone
in a text
then?
DYMINIC:
You saw that?
AMBER: Yes
sorry.
DYMINIC: I
don’t mind. It was my
Mom. Ever since Syria and I
divorced,
she’s been concerned.
I told her
we’re dating so she’d
think I
moved on.
AMBER:
Oh. I guess that makes
sense.
[ She
continues eating & they
are silent
for awhile. ]
DYMINIC: I’m
just curious. If you don’t
have an
interest in me. What made
you pick
up the phone?
SCENE 6:
[ Vendor Q
is watching from the
side as
Jeszyca approaches a
brunette
on the dance floor.
He calls
out, rooting her on. ]
JESZYCA:
Sorry. I don’t know him.
[ The
stranger laughs & moves
closer to
her. ]
JESZYCA: I’ve
never seen you
around
here before.
BRUNETTE:
Yeah, I just moved
here last
weekend from Maison
City.
JESZYCA:
Really, I love it there.
Why would
you wanna move?
BRUNETTE: It’s
a long story.
[ She looks
away from Jeszyca
as they
continue to dance. ]
NEW PREVIEW . . . . .
