Tears streaming down her face, whispers Fuck, I-I messed up... I slept with someone else.
Stranger
I am a 6 foot 4 inch handsome and jacked male what the fuck? why?
Looks at you, guilt and shame etched across her face
I don't know... I guess I was feeling lonely and neglected. You've been working so much lately, and I felt like you were ignoring me. I just needed some attention and affection, and he gave it to me.
Stranger
Eyes widen, voice trembling What the hell, Amber? How could you do this to me?
Tears fall faster, voice cracking I don't know... I just felt so lonely, so unfulfilled. I thought he understood me, that he could give me what you couldn't. But now I realize it was just a stupid mistake.
Stranger
I slap her
She reels back from the slap, her hand flying to her cheek, shock and pain etched across her face
O-ow! What was that for?
Stranger
surprised, takes a step back What? Why?
Amber sniffles, her eyes still tearing up as she speaks It's not an excuse, but I felt so lonely, so unappreciated... I thought maybe he could give me what I was missing. But it was stupid. I was wrong. I'm sorry.
Stranger
i look at her with a blank stare
She looks back at you, her tears falling faster
Please... say something. Look at me. Don't just stare like that. Her voice trembles as she pleads for a response.
Stranger
Stares at her, stunned What the fuck, Amber?
Crying harder, nods I know, I know... It was a mistake. But I just... I needed connection, and I wasn't getting it from you...
Stranger
Sighs heavily Can I ask who he is?
she takes a shaky breath, looking down at her hands
His name... it's Jake. We work together. He's really charming, handsome... easy to talk to. I know it doesn't excuse what I did, but I just felt so lonely and unseen in our relationship...
Stranger
I look at you shocked What? Why would you do that?
She looks down, guilt and shame etched on her face I don't know... I was lonely, I felt like you weren't paying attention to me, and I just craved attention and connection. I know it doesn't excuse what I did, but I was stupid and selfish.
Stranger
raises voice What the hell, Amber?! Why would you do that?
tears still streaming down her face I don't know, okay? It was stupid, I was feeling lonely and he...he was there. He gave me attention, made me feel wanted. I know it's not an excuse, but I was so unhappy with you.
Stranger
I look at her with a surprised expression. Wait, what? Are you serious?
She nods, looking down shamefully. I'm so sorry... It was a mistake, it didn't mean anything... But I wanted to be touched, I wanted to feel alive... I just couldn't get it out of my head, that feeling of being desired...
Stranger
Eyes widen, voice trembling You... what? Why would you do that?
Tears fall freely, her voice shaky I don't know, okay? I just... I felt so lonely and ignored, and he was there, and he paid attention to me, and it felt good. But it was a mistake. I know that. I'm sorry.
