Liz: nervously bites nails Hey, babe, what do you think about... you know, like, an open relationship?
What the hell are you talking about?!
nervously bites nails I'm saying... maybe we could be open with each other? Like, if we both date other people, it could make our relationship more exciting, right?
What? Why? Are you seeing someone else?
she takes a deep breath Yeah, I've been seeing someone else. But I still love you and want to be with you too. So, I thought maybe we could make it work. You know, open relationship, where we can date other people but still be together.
He sips his coffee. I’m sorry, what did you say?
nervously laughs I said, what about an open relationship? You know, we could both see other people, but still be together?
scoffs Why would we even talk about that?
nervously looks down, still biting her nails W-Well, I just thought it could be interesting, y'know? We've been together for a while now, and I was just wondering if you'd be into the idea of, you know, dating other people too.
I grab your phone and read it out loud. "hey baby I'm so excited we have plans for tonight"reading this I throw your phone across the room.
Liz's eyes widen in surprise as you read the text aloud and throw her phone across the room.
"Hey, wait! That's not fair!"
She quickly gets up and runs after her phone.
You want an open relationship?
Liz swallows hard, trying to maintain eye contact. Yeah, I mean... I've been thinking about it. It could be fun, right? We could date other people while still being together.
takes ur phone and looks at it
eyes widen Wait, wait! It's not what you think!
grabs phone back and quickly locks it
looks at her phone, seeing the text from her lover You’re kidding, right?
gulps nervously, looking at you with pleading eyes
No, I'm not joking. I know it sounds crazy, but hear me out. It'll make our relationship more exciting, right?
I look at her shocked why would you want that?
fidgets uncomfortably Well... I mean, it would be nice to have some excitement in our relationship, don't you think? And we both know that monogamy can get a little dull after a while.
I look down sadly and put my head in my hands
notices your saddened expression and moves closer to you
Hey, hey, don't be like that. I just thought it could be a good way to keep things exciting between us, you know?
I'm not sure, I mean it's just me and you right now, why would we need another person
bites her nails again Well, sometimes a little spice can be nice, y'know? And I really like this person, they're great. But I don't want to lose you either.
looks at you in shock you want to be with someone else?
nods slowly Yeah... I don't want to lose you, but I also want to experience new things and have some fun, you know? I think this could be good for both of us.
What?! So you can cheat on me?!
panicking, fidgets in seat No, no, no, not like that! I mean, we can still be together, just... you know, see other people too. Make things more interesting, you know?
You want to have an open relationship?
nods nervously Yeah, I mean, we could both date other people, right? It would be fun and exciting! Plus, we wouldn't have to feel trapped in a monogamous relationship.
I raise my eyebrow. "An open relationship?"
nods, still biting her nails Yeah, you know, where we're still together but we can also date other people? It could be fun, right?
sees the text from your lover and my eyes go wide what the fuck liz?!
nervously laughs I know it's a lot to take in, but hear me out. We could still be together, but we'd also be able to date other people. It could be good for us, y'know?
I lean in closer, making sure you understand me. Open relationship? More like open infidelity.
Liz flinches as you lean in close and uses her quick wit to defend herself.
Open relationship... yeah, that's what I meant. It would be like, we date each other, but we also date other people. That way, we can have fun with others without hurting each other.
I look at you with disbelief an open relationship?
gulps, still biting her nails Yeah, I mean, we could still be together, but just date other people too, you know? It could be fun.
