Soulmates - by DW
Scene: Juan and Emily are outside of
the Q Mansion. It had stopped raining about 10 minutes ago, so they aren't
getting wet. Juan is a half-hour late for their date.
Emily: "You are so lucky my parents aren't here cause then they would never
let me see you.
Juan: "I am so sorry Em--"
"Do you have any idea what was going through my head this whole time?? Is
he okay? Did Sorel find him and beat him up again? Is he in an alley somewhere
bleeding to death? Is
he---"
"I said I was sorry. I didn't notice the time passed by so quickly. I actually
left a half an hour early just to look good in front of your parents."
"So what held you for a whole hour that you couldn't call me. Or answer your
phone when I called twenty times. And where were you exactly cause when I
called Kelly's Tammy told me that you left fifteen minutes ago. And it doesn't
take 15 minutes to get from my house to Kelly's."
Juan was getting kind of nervous. He didn't know how Emily was gonna react
to him telling her he was with another girl. He decided to remain subtle
about the whole ordeal
"I was talking with someone."
Emily was getting suspicious. She was racking her brain thinking of who
he would talk to for a whole hour and forget about her. It's not Sonny. Not
Elizabeth, she wasn't working tonight. It wasn't anyone.
"Who were you talking to?" she said with heavy suspicion.
"I was talkin with someone who just moved into town."
"So what's his na--"
"Her name."
"It's a her?"
"Yeah," he said while avoiding eye contact. He felt guilty for some reason.
Yet he didn't know why seeing as how he felt he didn't do anything wrong.
"So what's HER name?"
"Teresa."
"So...what'd you guys talk about?"
"C'mon Emily. That's not important. Lets just go to Kelly's and start the
other half of our date. Kelly's isn't closing anytime soon.
"No. I want to know what you guys were talking about seeing as how it lasted
a whole hour and wasted a half-hour of our date."
Juan was getting irritated. He didn't understand why Emily was getting
so worked up over nothing. Why does she want to know what I said and who
I was with so badly??
"I don't remember. And do you want to know why?? Cause it's not important.
Now why won't you leave this alone?" he said showing heavy signs of
impatience.
"I want to know what is so great about her that you didn't even think
or come to me at all for that whole hour??"
Right now Emily is almost screaming. She doesn't want anyone to notice
they are in a huge argument.
"Come to you??" Juan said with a delirious look.
"Yeah. I said come."
"What am I your dog now?? Listen Emily, I know about all the things you have
done for me in the past, even before we were together, but I'm not gonna
let you boss me around. I am your boyfriend, not you lackey or dog
or..or..WHATEVER. And I have contributed to this relationship just as much
as you have. You know what?...... I am not gonna stand here and take this.
I'm outta here."
Left at that Juan left Emily standing in front of her front door very
mad.
