OCTOBER
Night Time
[a restaurant]
*Nancy and Steven sat across from each other at dinner, on a date. They held one hand across the table.*
Steven: You look beautiful.
Nancy: Thank you.
Steven: You get more beautiful every time I see you.
Nancy: *flattered* What a line!
Steven: One of my best! Now eat your chicken.
Nancy: Right.
Steven: Crazy, this is our fifth date.
Nancy: *with her mouth full* I know.
Steven: *laughing* We've been on five dates in one week. What are we doing?
Nancy: We are crazy about each other, that's what we're doing.
*They smiled at each other.*
After the Date
[the empty street]
*Nancy and Steven casually walked next to each other on an empty street under the stars.*
Steven: The stars.
Nancy: They're so beautiful.
Steven: Yeah.
Nancy: So, how's it going with Nathan and Kristina? I haven't talked to either of them since last week.
Steven: Oh, it's going great. He couldn't be happier.
*Even though Nancy was dating Steven, she couldn't help but feel disturbed by that comment.*
Nancy: *lying* Well good, I'm- I'm glad they found each other.
Steven: Me too.
*Steven kept walking without noticing, but Nancy suddenly stopped in the street.*
Nancy: What are we doing?
*He quickly realized she wasn't next to him and turned around. They stood ten feet apart.*
Steven: What?
Nancy: This is our fifth date.
Steven: As we've mentioned.
Nancy: No, Steven. This is our fifth date!
Steven: I know!
Nancy: I mean, what? Are we just going to keep dating?
Steven: *joking* I mean, if you want to end it I'm all for it.
Nancy: No! ! I'm serious.
Steven: Serious about what?
Nancy: I just- Shouldn't we have... like a label by now or something?
Steven: A label?
Nancy: Yeah! I mean, shouldn't we know what we are?
Steven: That's a good question. Let me ask you something. What are we?
Nancy: That's what I'm asking you.
Steven: Well what do you wanna be?
Nancy: I don't know.
Steven: Yes you do. Say it.
Nancy: Uh... it starts with a g.
Steven: Oh, does it?
Nancy: Yes. And you start with a-
Steven: A b?
Nancy: Maybe.
Steven: Nancy, I want to be your boyfriend, too.
Nancy: Really?
Steven: Yes! That's what you meant, right?
