Tina But we werent on a date. It was a business dinner.

Regan I know that but does she.

Tina Ive just never seen her like that before.

Regan You said that. She just didnt want to see you out with anyone else. I would have done the same thing. Only not punched the girl you were with.

Tina Ill talk to her.

Regan Really its no big deal. As long as she doesnt hit you

Tina She would never

Regan Well you said that before and look what happened.

Tina I just wish I could stop loving her.

Regan You were together for seven years if you stopped loving her after a few months I would be shocked.

Regan To love someone else I know. Believe me.
Tina What did you do?

Regan I started dating. Found someone. (Looking down sighing)

Tina What happened?

Regan Then I got traded. We were really
getting along but she had a career there and I had mine.. Im gonna have to find someone new.
(Looking at Tina)

Tina looks at Regan and they move closer together. Then their lips meet softly at first. They part and look at each other.

Tina I liked that

Regan me too. We should do it again sometime.

Tina kisses Regan a little harder than before. Tina puts her hands on Regans back and moves them up and down. Tina wants more access but Regan pushes her away. Tina looks like she is hurt but Regan puts her finger on

Tinas lips.

Regan I would really really like to continue to kiss you but my lips hurts. Once it heals we can resume kissage. I promise.

Tina So this doesnt freak you out.

Regan No.

Tina Really

Regan Not at all. Cuz when I saw you at Radar this is all I wanted to do. Do you remember World History with Mr. Martin?

Alice I just went to LA Magazine. And asked around about you.

Regan And

Alice They said that you like to play hearts.

Regan What!?!?

Alice You play two or three women at the time. You act like you want to build a life with a women and then you break up with them. And your a hitter.

Regan You thought that I hit Tina, even if I was the one with the black eye and the busted lip.

Alice I didnt know you had that till we came in. You two were here by yourselves and you

Regan So you had all these assumptions about me. That I hit women. That I would hurt Tina.
Or anyone for that matter.

Alice Its what she said.

Regan Who told you that?

Alice Morgan Smith

Regan looking at Alice realizing what Alice was told
That.. was a story I wrote. My friend Ashleigh was in this really abusive relationship. When Id go to see her she would have bruises and busted lips. Her partner had girls on the side. We all told her but she wouldnt listen. I wrote this story to make her see what was going on. I gave it to her. I had a copy on my computer and my other friend Mona being noisy found it and submitted to a publisher. It got turn into a book and published. Under a alias. But a reporter found out it was me and told everyone. I told people it was fiction based on fact but not my fact. And most people believed me. But obviously not Morgan and not you , Alice have heard half the story and made a judgment on me already. Im gonna go because my head hurts. Good night.

Alice Wait. Im sorry. I didnt know

Regan Its fine. Its the way my life works.

Regan walks out of the apartment. Tina goes after her.

Alice I should have check my source. I

Dana You were being you. She doesnt know that. Give her sometime. Shell come around. At least it didnt last to long. It got out in the open and is clear. It was a mistake.
