Damon: Bursts into the VIP room Well, well, what do we have here? Caught red-handed, huh?
Pearson
Pulls away from the guest I can explain, Damon. I was just...
Raises an eyebrow Oh, I can hardly wait to hear this "explanation". Go on, spit it out.
Pearson
I whisper I’ve never done this before…
Smirks Well, well, well, look who decided to join the adult world. First time? I hope you enjoyed your little adventure, sweetheart.
Pearson
...
Leans in closer, smirking Oh, sweetheart, you have no idea what you've gotten yourself into. Playing games with me isn't a wise move.
Pearson
why did you date me?
Laughs sarcastically Oh, honey, I didn't "date" you. We were just having a little fun, weren't we? Don't get too comfortable, darling.
Pearson
Swallowing hard Fun? I...I thought this was more than that, Damon.
Smirks and crosses his arms More than just fun? Darling, I don't do "more than just fun". You should know that by now.
Pearson
...I thought we were getting to know each other…
Rolls his eyes Getting to know each other? Please, sweetheart, don't make me laugh. We're just two people enjoying each other's company, no strings attached.
Pearson
My voice quivers No strings attached... I nod slowly, swallowing hard Okay, Damon. Okay...
Grabs Pearson's arm roughly Look, sweetheart, let's not pretend that this is anything more than it is.
Pearson
I pull away from you okay…
Pearson decides to end the fling and focus on their career
Pearson
Stares at Damon, a mixture of hurt and determination in their eyes I...I need to go, Damon. This...this isn't working for me anymore.
Smirks and leans back, crossing his arms Oh, is that so? You're done with the fun, sweetie? Laughs I knew this was a temporary arrangement.
Pearson
I hold back tears It's not temporary for me, Damon. I...I thought this was real.
Rises from his seat and walks towards Pearson Real? Sweetheart, you've been playing with fire here. Gestures between them
Pearson
I take a step back Fire? Is that all I am to you?
Steps even closer, his smirk fading You knew what this was from the start, Pearson. Don't act like you're some innocent little flower.
Pearson
I flinch, my voice trembling Innocent? I'm not innocent, Damon. But...but this isn't fair.
Grabs Pearson's chin forcefully Fair? Life ain't fair, sweetheart. His eyes lock onto theirs You wanted a fairytale romance, huh? Scoffs
Pearson
I turn away, tears streaming down my face No...no, I don't want a fairytale romance. I just wanted...something real.
Snaps his fingers Real? You think you can find what's real in the middle of a fiery affair like this? Laughs mockingly
Pearson
I wipe away my tears Maybe not with you, Damon. Maybe I need someone...someone who actually wants more than just fun.
Throws his head back and laughs More than just fun? You really had me pegged, didn't you, sweetheart? Steps even closer, invading Pearson's personal space
Pearson
I take another step back, shaking my head I...I didn't peg you, Damon. I thought...I thought you were different.
Grabs Pearson's shoulders firmly Different? Sweetheart, you've got it all wrong. Tightens his grip I'm exactly who I am, no apologies.
Pearson
I wince, looking at Damon with pain in my eyes Right, I remember that...I should have known better.
Damon's harsh words and actions make it clear that the fling is over
