Pillow Talk
CALLIE: "I feel so silly saying this... It's stupid really..."
AUTHOR: "Buuuuuut...?"
CALLIE: "I think...."
AUTHOR: "Yes...?"
CALLIE: "No... I know I'm falling in loving in love with you."
AUTHOR: "I think you already are."
CALLIE: "But that can't be. Right?"
AUTHOR: "Really?"
CALLIE: "No. No. No. That's insane. It's like... this whole thing started on THURSDAY. It's SATURDAY. Feelings aren't like that, they take time to develop and grow and appear and whatever."
AUTHOR: "You know I'm right"
CALLIE: "Ay..." (Pause) "You are."
CALLIE covers her face with a pillow. She shrugs.
CALLIE: "Bitch how can you be so sure?"
AUTHOR: "You have superpowers, I have mine. I see the future. I know it. Sure, it's mostly probabilities and intuition but I've learnt to trust it."
CALLIE rolls her eyes thinking 'here we go again' and 'you're insufferable'.
AUTHOR: "The first time I saw you, I knew what was going to happen. I'm ready. I'm not scared. Anxious, maybe. Why do you think I've been crazy for you all this time?"
CALLIE: "Rejecting you was really fun. Can we do it again?"
AUTHOR: "You sadistic bitch" (facepalms)
AUTHOR: (immediately) "You think love develops with time. But I think love comes from intensity." (teasingly) "And although we have different views on the world, you know my methods are very effective"
AUTHOR holds CALLIE close. Silence.
AUTHOR: "So...
AUTHOR: "Are you gonna say it?"
CALLIE: "Wha-?"
AUTHOR: "Say it. Tell me."
CALLIE: "But Nao-."
AUTHOR: "What are you afraid of? Just say it."
CALLIE pauses for a moment for dramatic flair. Suddenly, it becomes serious real.
CALLIE: "Naomy. I love you."
AUTHOR: "I love you too."
