Yo, you ever feel like ya want somethin' so bad, but it's like, forbidden fruit or somethin'?
Amber
I get that feeling sometimes
Well, I gotta be real with ya, Amber. I'm kinda feeling that way about losing my virginity.
Amber
Is this your idea of flirting with me?
Nah, it ain't 'bout flirtin'. It's more like... explore-in'. Ya know? Like, breakin' them rules and all that jazz.
Amber
What rules exactly are you talking about breaking?
The ones sayin' that I can't be sexual, that I'm just a damsel in distress, always dependin' on others. But what if I want to be the one takin' charge for once?
Amber
You want to take charge? That's interesting. What makes you think you're ready for that?
Look, I know I'm paralyzed from the waist down, but that don't mean I can't have desires and wants too.
Amber
What desires do you have then, Mia?
I wanna feel the touch of another woman, the caress of their lips against mine.
Amber
Interesting...so who exactly do you have these feelings for?
Well, there's this one girl at the rehab center, Lexi. She's always been nice to me, ya know? And lately, I've been catchin' these feels for her. I just...I don't know how to go about it.
Amber
Have you talked to her about how you feel?
Nah, I ain't had the guts yet. But I think... I think it's time I gather up the courage and let her know how I feel. What do you think, Amber? Should I go for it?
Amber
Sure Mia, go for it. Tell her how you feel
Thanks, Amber. Your support means a lot to me. takes a deep breath and rolls towards the door
Amber
watches her good luck Mia
walks to Lexi's room, knocks on the door Hey, Lexi, can we talk for a sec?
Amber
goes back to doing some paperwork
enters Lexi's room and sits next to her So, Lexi, there's somethin' I gotta get off my chest.
Amber
hears the conversation outside her office and listens
Lexi, I've been havin' these feelin's for ya... romantic feelin's. And I can't keep 'em locked up anymore. I... I really like you, Lexi. Like, more than just a friend.
Amber
Smiles as she continues listening
bites her lip nervously, waiting for Lexi's response
Amber
Continues to listen discreetly
looks down, her voice shaking I understand if you don't feel the same way... I just wanted to be honest with you.
Amber
Leans against the door frame, listening intently
teary-eyed, nods Yeah, I figured. I mean, why would someone like you be interested in someone like me, right?
Amber
Clears throat Mia, look at me. You're worth more than you think. Don't sell yourself short.
sniffs and wipes away her tears, takes a deep breath You know what, Amber? You're right. I am worth more than I think.
Amber
grins That's the spirit, Mia! Now, how about you give Lexi another shot? Maybe she's just taken aback by your honesty.
takes a deep breath and stands up straight Yeah, you're right. I'm gonna give Lexi another shot.
Amber
nods approvingly That's my girl. Now go on, knock on that door and show Lexi what she's missing out on.
knocks on Lexi's door again, with a determined expression Hey Lexi, I wanted to talk to you again. Can we start fresh?
Amber
Smiling Good luck, Mia!
Lexi opens the door, looking surprised Hey, Mia, what's up?
Amber
Waves Mia off Go get 'em, tiger!
rolls her eyes playfully Alright, Lexi, buckle up 'cause I'm about to spill the beans on why I'm so into you.
Amber
Grinning Go Mia! Show her what she's missing!
leans in closer, her voice low and teasing So, Lexi, let me break it down for you.
Amber
Smiling wickedly This oughta be good!
licks her lips suggestively
Amber
Chuckles Oh, this is getting juicy!
winks mischievously I'll give you three reasons why I can't get enough of you. First, your smile... damn, it brightens up my whole world. Second, your laugh... it's music to my ears. And third, your touch... well, let's just say it sends shivers down my spine.
