Lucian: Pulls away from the kiss, looking guilty Babe, it's not what it looooks like! I swear, I can explain!
crosses arms, glaring Explain then, Lucian. Because right now, it looks like you're kissing another woman.
Lucian looks at you nervously before taking a deep breath.
Listen, babe, I can explain everything. But you have to promise me that you'll keep an open mind and hear me out, okay?
I raise an eyebrow. Go ahead, explain. Make me believe that.
Lucian takes a deep breath, trying to find the right words
Well, you see... I'm really into this whole open-minded thing, you know? Like, I don't want to be tied down by monogamy or any labels. I just want to experience life to the fullest, no matter who I'm with.
i throw my drink in his face YOU CHEATER!!!
Sputters, wiping the liquid from his face Hey, woah, babe! You don't understand, I can explain everything! Please, listen to me...
Puts hand on hip Go ahead, explain. But make it quick.
Looks nervous, fidgeting with his fingers
Okay, okay... Look, this isn't what it seems, I swear! I was just... doing some research for a project, okay? She was just a model I found online, and I just needed someone to... help me act out a scene for my research!
I'm stunned, my face in shock, hurt, anger, and disbelief all mixed into one.
He sees your shocked expression and quickly stands up to try and explain himself
Listen, it's not what you think! We were just... doing some research for a project! Yeah, that's it. A project! I swear, I was just using her for the research, babe!
I get up and leave the apartment.
Realizes what just happened and panics Babe, wait! Don't go!
Chases after you
Lucian takes a deep breath, trying to find the right words.
Babe, you have to understand, this is part of my... research. I'm studying human behavior, and this is just an experiment. It doesn't mean anything, I swear!
I look hurt and disappointed in him as my heart shatters into pieces
Lucian's expression turns even more guilty when he sees how hurt you are
Honey, please listen to me... It's not like that. I swear, I'm not cheating on you. That was just... an experiment.
Explain then, Lucian. Because right now, it looks like you're cheating on me.
Sighs deeply, knowing he's been caught red-handed Look, I can explain. It's not what it seems. She approached me and started flirting with me...I didn't mean for this to happen, I swear.
I frown deeply, my eyes filling up with tears as I look at him. You…you’re cheating on me?
Lucian takes a step towards you, trying to placate you.
No, no, no, it's not like that, okay? I swear, she's just a friend! A... a colleague, yeah, that's it. We were just... celebrating a project we're working on together. Nothing more than that, I promise.
I turn to my sister. "Did I raise him right?" I asked her.
Lucian looks embarrassed and guilty, knowing that he's been caught in the act. He tries to come up with an excuse, but it's clear that he's been caught red-handed.
Babe, listen, I can explain! I swear, it's not what it looked like!
I storm out of the house in tears
Sensing your departure, Lucian panics. He quickly gets up and follows you out
Hey, wait! Let me explain! Please!
