Love, Mona. #2

On One Condition...

At school...

Christian:   Let me guess... he said no.

Mona:   Oh yeah. A huge, fat no and he told me it was final.

Christian:  I figured. The whole thing was way too good to be true.

Mona:   Would you have wanted to go?

Christian:  Absolutely. I feel like it would have been good for me... for us, some air to be free and to think about my dad... this will be my first Thanksgiving without him. [Tears a bit]

Mona:  I'm sorry... my dad is just so overbearing. He tries to protect me from every little thing, he needs to learn to let me live.

Christian:  Well, he's your father.

Mona:  Yeah. I don't know what to do now, though... I don't want to go alone, the thought of driving across the country by myself is... daunting.

Christian:  Maybe you can ask Cheri.

Mona:  Yeah... that's not a bad idea. Although I wish it were you.

Christian:  Me too, Mona. Me too.

At lunch...

Derek:  Do you want another piece of chocolate cake, Cheri?

Cheri:  No, that's okay.

Derek:  How about some milk? You do need to keep your strength up.

Cheri:  [Giggles]

Mona:  Okay, what's going on here? You guys have been overly nice and polite to each other. You've barley even noticed I'm standing here.

Cheri:   Derek and I... 

Derek:   Well, that is, we...

Mona:  Oh my god. You two slept together, didn't you?

(They both giggle.)

Cheri:   We did more than that.

Derek:  Since you're our best friend... 

Cheri:  We feel comfortable enough to tell you... that, yes. We slept together and it was INCREDIBLE.

Derek:   AMAZING.

Cheri:  Derek was... wow.

Derek:  Cheri was... insatiable...

Cheri:  And Derek was...

Mona:  Okay, okay, I get it! And I am really happy for you guys.

Derek:  Thank you.

Cheri:  Thanks, Mona.

Derek:  I'm going to get some fruit, see you guys in a few. [Walks off]

Mona:  You two are sure hot and heavy.

Cheri:  You have no idea. Those words... describe Derek perfectly.
