Find Your Love ✔️

Act 1:Scene 3

The weather in the city was bright and warm finally after a cold front blew through and chilled everyone to the core. It seemed the entire population was out and about enjoying the sun.

Minx and Jessi walked along the promenade, sipping their Starbucks and chatting casually. They find a place to sit and Minx reaches down to retrieve her french book from her purse to study.

"Girl really? You're gonna study right now?" Jessi turns up her nose as Minx went over her vocabulary.

"Why are you so bothered by it?" Minx asks distractedly as her fingers passed over each word she was trying to memorize.

"Because I was talking, rudeness!" She scoffs.

"You're always talking Jess" Minx responds between quietly mouthing out her vocabulary words.

"Bitch" Jessi rolls her eyes.

"Slut" Minx smirks.

"whore" Jessi snaps.

"Skank!" They both say, their heads tipped back as the laugh childishly.

"Oh! I almost forgot." Jessi reaches into one of her shopping bags and produces a neatly gift-wrapped box.
She places it on top of Minx's study materials, ignoring her grumbles of annoyance.
"What's that?" She asks.

"Early birthday gift. Just open it"

"Jess..."

"OPEN!"

Minx rolls her eyes. Her birthday wasn't for another 6 months.

But like a kid on Christmas, Minx tears into the wrapping paper as Jessi watches, beaming with pride.

"Jess..." Minx exhales when she sees the Apple logo.
A brand new iPhone 11.

"Figured you wouldn't be able to avoid you know who tracking your every move with that old phone you have. So I got you a new one. Its already activated and programmed and on my plan so don't even worry about the bill. I.."

Jessi is cut off when Minx throws her arms around her neck to hug her tight.

"Minx...you're suffocating my twins" Jessi squeaks out in a strained voice, but she returns the hug happily and rubs Minx's back before pulling away.

She releases Jessi, her eyes glistening with emotion as she sat back to look at her best friend's generous gift.

"Thank you. Seriously Jess this is...perfect" Minx says shakily, hugging the box to her chest.

"Don't even mention the girl. No more Mr. Lojack. I'm already over him and his creepy ass pop-ups. That shit the other night wasn't ok at all. You deserve to go out and have fun like every other woman your age. That mother fucker doesn't own you..." Jessi hisses with attitude.

"Well...technically, " Minx says almost under a whisper as she tips her French book up to begin reading again sullenly. Jessi shoots her an apologetic look before changing the subject.

She elbows Minx from beside her just as three men are streetwear stroll out of a nearby designer store.

"Oh shit girl, Baller Alert 10 o'clock," Jessi says out of the side of her mouth. Minx giggled as she watched Jessi tug at the front of her top to expose more of her cleavage and quickly reach up to fluff her golden locks.
Jessi was sexy. Like effortlessly sexy. It didn't take just a man to point that out.
From her sunkissed skin, full pouted lips, her perfectly sculpted body, and sultry voice...
Men were putty in Jessi's hands from just one look.

Minx sometimes felt like the ugly friend whenever she was with Jessi, despite being the young, fit bodied, well-groomed, and dressed, green-eyed vixen herself.
