My Lips On You

Talk

Jessica was driving and Sarah was looking through the glass of the car.

"Are you alright?" Jessica broke the silence.

"I'm fine" Sarah kept her gaze away.

"You're so quiet ... this is not the Sarah I know" Jessica said in a playful voice.

"You're right Jess, but it's all happened so fast, you know, about last night" Sarah gave up looking at the street and stared at Jessica.

"Sarah is all right now" Jessica stares at her with a friendly look.

"You do not understand, you were not there when it happened ... James fell to the ground, bleeding" Sarah forgot Jessica and got lost in thought, and continued "see him from that way broke my heart ... and when he had his head lying on my lap, his eyes closing ... I tried everything to keep him awake ... when he erased, I thought I'd lost him" Sarah spoke through her tears.

"Sarah ..." Jesica began but was cut off by Sarah. "I'm sorry, I should not have said these things."

"Sarah, I need to ask you something" Jessica said earnestly.

"What?" Sarah stared at her nervously.

"What are your feelings for James?" Jessica did not hesitate and watched Sarah's reaction.

Sarah was paralyzed by Jessica's question, for a moment she thought maybe James had told her about the kiss, she thought of telling her friend, but Jessica would never forgive her, so she lied, "James is just my friend ... my God Jessica, what were you thinking?"

"Nothing, I just never saw you so worried about anyone."

Sarah takes offense at Jessica's comment and says "but of course I worry ... my God, it's James, it's your husband ... he makes you happy, and I like him because of that."

"Sarah, I did not mean to offend you, okay?" Jessica turns her attention back to the road.

"No problem".

"Do you know where you're staying?" Jessica changes the subject to lessen the tension between them.

"What?" Sarah is confused.

"You will not stay in your house after what happened yesterday, will you?"

"Of course not, I just had not thought of that yet."

"If you want you can stay in my house" Jessica suggests.

"I will not bother you?"

"Of course not".

"Ok, thanks, Jessica."

"No need to thank, honey."

In the recording set ...

Jessica was in her dressing room getting ready for the last scenes with Danny when someone knocked on the door.

"Come in" Jessica said, and continued to stare at the papers in her hands.

The door opened and then closed.

Jessica was uneasy with the silence and looked at the mirror in front of her.

"Danny, what are you doing here?" Jessica screamed as she saw Danny in the mirror.

"I heard that James was shot, I just wanted to say I'm sorry" Danny said with a sad expression on his face.

"Are you sorry?" Jessica mocked.

"Jessica, I know I was an idiot with you ... please, forgive me" Danny pleaded.

"Danny, I think you'd better go."
