Adam
Did you leave something on the sofa before you went on your trip?
Jenna plops into an airport lounge seat, her pulse pattering.
Adam
I found this cute little rubber thing that’s connected to a battery.
Adam
Huh. It also vibrates.
Adam
Imagine my surprise…
Adam
When I came back from my trip to find this special gift from my roomie waiting for me!
Adam
What’s it for anyway?
Jenna
You know damned well what it’s for.
Jenna
Can you just put it away and forget this happened?
Adam
But I have so many questions…
Adam
When do you use this? How often?
Adam
And who do you think about when you use it?
Adam
Ok. No more teasing. Purged from my mind.
Jenna
Who do you think I’m thinking about?
Jenna
Sorry. I shouldn’t have joked.
Jenna
I know the fastest way to alienate a roomie is to do exactly that.
Adam
But what if that roomie is constantly out of town when you’re out of town?
Adam
What if you don’t see him?
Adam
And what if he’s moving out after his condo is refurbished in a little over a week?
Adam
Why did you stop typing? What were you just about to say?
Jenna
The same kind of thing I would have said to you a few years ago in college.
Jenna
You mercilessly teased me then too.
Jenna
Usually about when I’d get a boyfriend.
Adam
That’s because you never seemed interested in anything but math.
Adam
I was trying to get you out of your shell.
Jenna
Hey would you look at that—my plane is boarding.
Adam
You need to explain that comment you made.
Adam
Who DO you think about when you use that bunny?
Jenna
Jeez, Adam, what do you want me to say?
Jenna
That I’m thinking of YOU?
Jenna
Because you’re…you! And I’m me!
Adam
I don’t even know what the hell that means.
Jenna
It means we’re coworkers who share a living space for now.
Jenna
You’re a former frat boy and I’m the nerd who tutored you.
Adam
All I hear are excuses.
Adam
You can’t tell me you’ve never walked by my room and thought about me.
Adam
Because I’ve done that with you.
Jenna nearly drops the phone.
Adam
Last week you came home from a trip and went to sleep just as I was getting out of bed.
Adam
I imagined your gorgeous black hair spread over the pillow.
Adam
I thought about what you might be wearing and hoped you didn’t have on anything at all.
Jenna
STOP teasing me. Guys like you don’t…you know.
Jenna
You’ve got a lot of women to choose from, all right?
Adam
And you still think of yourself as a nerd no guy ever notices.
Adam
You really have no idea, do you?
Jenna
I can’t believe we’re having this conversation.
Adam
Do you really want me to stop?
Adam
Listen—what if I made you a promise?
Adam
That if you let me talk to you like this…
Adam
Then if we run into each other in your place, none of this will ever come up.
Adam
Our schedules don’t allow us to be home at the same time to interact anyway, but still.
Jenna
Are you proposing that we completely ignore your recent discovery?
Jenna
Because I’m SO up for that.
Adam
That’s not what I’m proposing at all.
Adam
I want you to tell me all about last night.
Jenna peers around her in the crowded lounge as boarding starts.
Jenna
Why should I do that?
Adam
Because I want to see this side of you.
Adam
And we’re halfway across the country from each other, so there’s nothing to lose.
Jenna smiles as heat consumes her, years of fantasies rushing her.
Jenna
Last night, I might’ve poured myself a glass of amaretto over ice and put on a movie.
Jenna
Really? You want those nitty gritty details?
Jenna
Whatever. It was something from Netflix’s steamy section.
Adam
Of course it was. And…?
Jenna
Um…are you asking what I was wearing?
A few loud heartbeats mark the seconds.
Jenna
Well, I have this nightie. It’s white, sweet, and innocent. A baby doll gown.
Adam
Lol. No worries. I won’t go into your room.
Adam
I’m sitting on the sofa right now, waiting for you to continue.
Adam
And I’m still waiting…
Jenna
This is really strange to be telling this to you in the middle of hundreds of people.
Adam
Does that turn you on?
Adam
Nice to hear. Go on.
Adam
Yeah. Because you wear a lot of business suits these days.
Adam
Tell me how it felt to wear something hot like that.
Jenna
You’re going to make me say things I don’t usually say to anyone, aren’t you?
Adam
I always knew there was a little monster behind the nerd who tutored me in college.
Adam
Show her to me, Jen.
A final boarding call comes over the loudspeaker.
Jenna can end this right now…
But something’s telling her to let it get even hotter…
