You can’t keep doing this!!

Doing what? What are you talking about?

This! This… thing you’re doing. You can’t keep doing this to me Audrey. Every time some guy dumps all over you, you come running to me and then you do this.

Don’t you like this? I thought you liked it.

Yes I like it. That’s the problem I like it too much.

Come on honey, don’t…

Don’t do that. God, why do you keep doing this to me?

Doing what?

After some guy has kicked you aside, you come here and do the same thing as always. You want to be affectionate with me, touching me, kissing me, fucking me and the minute some guy comes that you think is the most gorgeous thing ever created and you just have to have him, I become just your friend. I’m all of a sudden not as important anymore. What happened between us last night will become some distant memory as soon as something more important comes along and I end up looking like the idiot because I keep letting it happen. Goddamn it Audrey, I love you. I love you more that I want to admit and more than you’d be comfortable with. But the fucked-up thing about it is that somewhere deep down I know you know this. I don’t know if you don’t want to admit it, or if you just don’t care, but I care. I can’t keep giving my heart and then end up with it being ripped out of my body, stomped on and thrown aside like some insignificant piece of trash. And I’m the fool because I keep taking you back thinking that maybe this time will be different; maybe you really want to be with me and that I’m not just some rebound fuck available to scratch and itch. Well I can’t do it anymore Audrey. It hurts to damn much to love you like this and know that you don’t feel the same way.

But I do care. I care a lot about you. You know that, I just….

You just only want me when it suits you. The fact that you are willing to throw my feelings aside so easily really makes me wonder just how much you actually care about me. Especially as your friend, your abusing our relationship and your to damn blind and caught up in yourself to even notice how much you’re hurting me.

But what we have is special. It’s very special to me that you allow me to share something so intimate with you. But I just don’t see how we can go any further than this.

Any further than this! I think we’ve gone pretty damn far in this relationship of just friends, don’t you? And if you don’t see that, then we’ve got a big problem. Tell me something, are you afraid to make a commitment or are you ashamed that it’s me?

I’ve never been ashamed of you or how I’ve felt about you. It’s just scary. I’m scared that if I let myself go as far as I want, then the same thing that happens in every relationship I’ve had will happen. I’m not willing to lose you as a friend just to pursue some desire.

For the love of god Audrey, if you keep doing this then you’re going to lose me. And you’re going to lose any chance you have at ever finding out if we could really make this work.

Come on Sam don’t be like that. Don’t do this.

Do what? What in the hell am I doing that so wrong. I’m just telling you how I feel and what I want.

What do you want from me?

What I want is for you to stop acting like a selfish spoiled little brat and make up your goddamn mind. I love you, but I’m not going to do this anymore. Either you’re with me or you’re not. You can’t have it both ways. So the question is what do you want from me?

An ultimatum. You’re giving me an ultimatum?

Yes. It’s your choice lovers, friends or nothing at all.

I can’t believe you’re doing this. Can’t you see how difficult this is for me?

Can’t you see how difficult it is for me! Don’t you think it hurts every time you touch me and I know you’re only doing it because you’re lonely, not because you really want me?

I can’t…I’m scared.

Well I am too. But what I’m more afraid of is that if this keep going on, I’m going to end up hating you and I really don’t want that.

God Sam, I really had no ideas you felt that strongly about us…as a possible us.

How on earth could you not know this? I’ve all but spelled it out for you on several occasions. Did I need to walk around with a big flashing sign around my neck that said ‘Audrey I’m in love with you?’

No…you don’t need the sign, although it would look really cute on you.

Oh come on, I’m not joking around here.

Well neither am I. Look I’ really sorry if you feel that I don’t value our relationship more than that. Guess I haven’t exactly been acting like I do. But I really and truly value what we have more than you think. So if you are willing to put your heart on the table like that, then I think the least I can do is give it a try.

Really? You’re willing to try this with me?

Yes, that is if you still want to.

Please don’t kid around about this. I couldn’t take it if you’re just saying this.

I’m not. I’m admitting that I’m in love with you and want to be with you.

Okay, so we’re really doing this?

I guess so.

Well, I guess there’s no reason for you to call Roger back.

Oh, Roger called, hmm… he is really cute.

Audrey!!!

Hey relax. I’m just saying that I think he’s cute. I am aloud to look aren’t I? You look all the time even when we are together.

Yeah, but it’s different for me.

How do you figure?

I…. don’t…drool like some people I know.

Me drool, I have no idea what you’re talking about.

I bet.
