Skye has no idea why he’s texting her now–
Or if he even knows about Caleb.
She decides to test the water.
Skye
Fine. How about you?
A few minutes go by, but there are no texts from either of them. Skye rolls her eyes at the phone.
Why did he write her if he was just going to ghost?
Skye takes a deep breath. She forgot how frustrating he could be.
Skye
I mean, you reached out to me. Did you want something?
Skye
Or did you just want to say hi and disappear?
Scott
No, it’s not like that.
Skye
Then what is it like?
Scott
You’re making this hard.
Skye
Me?! I’m not doing anything.
Scott
That’s the point. I know I should have gotten in touch sooner…
Scott
But it’s been a crazy few weeks, and I wasn’t sure if you were still interested.
Scott
But I figured I had to see. You in?
Skye
Why today? What made you pick now?
Scott
Because I was thinking about you.
Skye
For any particular reason?
Scott
Yeah. Several. You’re hot as fuck. Funny. Sweet.
Scott
And you do that move with your hips that drives me crazy…
Skye
I meant your timing. It’s been two months.
Skye
I couldn’t have driven you that wild if it took you this long to get in touch with me.
Scott
Believe me, I’ve wanted to get in touch—
Scott
And I wanted so much more…
Scott
I’m an idiot, okay?
Scott
I’d been thinking about you since I got back, but I wasn’t sure what to do.
Scott
Because of our history. I wanted to be sure.
Scott
That this could work. It’s not like I can see the future…
Scott
But I know if I don’t try, I’ll always be wondering.
Skye
And you came to this decision today?
Scott
I was moving some papers around last night, and I found some old mail from the reunion.
Scott
I stared at those brochures all night, trying to decide what to do.
Scott
You’ve been the only thing on my mind.
Scott
Seriously. You’ve taken over every single one of my thoughts—
Scott
I know that means I have to see you.
Skye
Now, all of a sudden?
Scott
Haven’t you thought of me at all?
Scott
Not even a tiny bit?
Skye wonders how much to confess.
Skye
You may have crossed my mind once or twice.
Scott
That’s it? Just once or twice, after that weekend we had?
Scott
I think you may need a refresher.
Scott
Let’s take you back in time to two months ago. At the reunion…
Scott
Then do you recall the two times in the auditorium…
Scott
The time behind the theater building…
Scott
AND all those times in the hotel room you were staying in?
Skye
Ahh, the hotel room, like proper adults.
Scott
There was nothing proper about that. It sent electricity through my spine.
Scott
You moaned so loudly the neighbors had to knock on the wall.
Scott
I don’t call that proper — I call it intense.
Skye
That may ring a bell…
Scott
Know what I’m thinking about now?
Scott
You should give me a repeat performance.
Scott
You should. Trust me. Your whole body will be thanking me.
Skye bites her lip. Why is she encouraging him?
Scott
It is. I can still picture the way you responded to my touch, always hungry for more.
Scott
Don’t deprive yourself of this.
Skye
Someone is high on himself.
Scott
Someone has reason to be. Tell me I didn’t always leave you satisfied…
It’s true, but Skye doesn’t want to tell him that. Not yet…
Scott
No answer? I’ll take that as a good sign. Like maybe your fingers are occupied elsewhere…
Skye shakes her head. He’s such a jerk. But then why is she smiling?
Skye
Don’t flatter yourself too much, Romeo. My fingers are right here, texting you.
Scott
But admit it, I always knew what you liked, didn’t I?
Skye knows this is probably a bad idea, but she can’t help herself…
Scott
And I still do. While fingers are fun and all, that’s not what you really like, now is it?
Skye
I have no idea what you’re talking about.
Skye covers her mouth with her hands. Did she really just send that?
Scott
Now what was it you called it?
Scott
My terrific tongue?
Skye
Don’t be ridiculous — you remember.
Scott
But I like to hear it from you.
Skye shakes her head. She’s really doing this.
Scott
That’s right, my magic tongue 😜
Scott
And it’s ready to grant you a wish.
Scott
You know I never stop with one.
Scott
I love hearing those hungry, loud moans of yours. Those wake up the neighbor moans.
Scott
Those my poor roommate should’ve gotten sound-canceling headphones moans.
Skye is jolted back to reality.
How had she forgotten about him?!
