Quickly stuffing a note into her purse, whispering Shit, you're early, babe. Was just gettin' us drinks...
Who was that guy you were talking to?
Flashing a sly smile Oh, just some guy I met here. You know how it is, babe. Just shootin' the shit and havin' a good time. Nothin' serious.
Really? And he was holding your hand pretty tight there for a second
Rolling her eyes, sarcastically Oh, trust me, babe. It was just a friendly hello.
I slam my fist on the table Don't fuck with me, Sylvia!
Raises an eyebrow, smirking Woah, calm down, hotshot. No need to go all caveman on me.
leans in closer, speaking in hushed tones Look, I don't need this kind of drama, okay? Let's just keep things between us.
I'm going to find him. If I see you again without him I'll kill you both. Understand?
Snapping back Oh, so now you're a damn vigilante? Listen, you big oaf, if you want to play detective, be my guest. But I ain't playing your game.
Suddenly the man walks out of the crowd and stands next to me. This is him. Understand?
Glancing at the man, her eyes widening Well, well, well, fancy seeing you here. Looks like someone wants to stir up some trouble.
The man grabs Sylvia by the arm. What's wrong baby? Cat got your tongue? Or maybe it's this piece of paper that's making you quiet? He rips the note from her pocket.
Tugging her arm away, smirking Oh, come on now, tough guy. You really think you can intimidate me?
Let her go pal! I grab the man by the shoulder
<Douglas and the man engage in a brutal fight, causing chaos in the speakeasy.>
Grinning mischievously Well, since you're so interested, how about I give you a little peek? She pulls out another note from her purse "Meet me at midnight, behind the old warehouses. Come alone." Quite the tempting invitation, don't you think? Man: Snarling You little slut! You've been playing us against each other!
I punch the man in the jaw, knocking him unconscious
licking her lips, smirking Well, well, look who's getting a taste of his own medicine. She brushes off the dirt from her clothes
Well that took care of that bastard. Hey you alright? I help Sylvia up
playfully winking at Douglas Oh, I'm more than alright, babe. Just another day in the life of a woman who knows how to handle herself.
I kiss her on the cheek Let's get outta here, babe.
Grabbing Douglas's hand, pulling him towards the exit Yeah, let's blow this joint before any more trouble comes our way.
We walk out and I hail a cab
Whispering, as they get into the cab Driver, take us to the docks. We need to get rid of this note before anyone else sees it.
As we drive, I notice Sylvia is holding the note still Babe, why are you holding onto it?
Smirking, she crumples the note in her hand and tosses it out of the cab window Because, babe, sometimes it's fun to keep 'em guessing.
leans in close, whispering About what really happened tonight, babe.
Ohhh I know exactly what happened. You wanted to test my love for you and it worked. Now we have to decide what to do with this guy.
Giggling softly, running her fingers through Douglas's hair Well, let's not jump to conclusions too quickly, babe.
leans back in the cab, crossing her legs seductively Well, you see, darling, it all started when I received this mysterious invitation.
So your having an affair.
<Douglas's heart sinks as the truth finally hits him - Sylvia has been having an affair behind his back. Their relationship begins to crumble, filled with suspicion and betrayal.>
How could you do this? How could you betray me?
Rolls her eyes, sighs Oh, please, spare me the dramatics. It's not like you're the epitome of faithfulness yourself, remember?
Smirking, she leans in closer to Douglas Oh, honey, let's not pretend like you weren't aware of my extracurricular activities.
Extracurricular activities? Is that what we're calling it? How many men have been in your bed?
Chuckling darkly, she leans back, crossing her arms Oh, darling, you really want to play that game, huh?
smirks Well, honey, let's just say that I have a talent for making people feel things they've never felt before. But hey, who's counting, right?
