123 - Confession
Late Monday night in Esmodonti's room ...
ESMODONTI:
Jesse hon, what are you trying to do?
JESSE:
I can’t, I mean I can …
JESSE:
… it's just that I'm all tangled up
ESMODONTI:
Hahaha oh cherie, it’s easier if ya take your shoes off before slipping
out of your jeans. That’s alright, Es’ll take care of it.
JESSE:
Uh - Es, where’s your bed?
ESMODONTI:
Don’t have one - since I got a private room. Have ya ever done it in a coffin? Not nearly as fab as it sounds. It’s a bit … cramped and there’s no light. No matter to me cause I can see in the dark ...
ESMODONTI:
... but then you’d miss out on the visuals - if ya know
what I mean. This’ll work.
ESMODONTI:
Alright my beautiful boy, drop those jeans
and get over here.
JESSE:
Yes ma'am.
Later ...
ESMODONTI:
Jesse, who’s Cici?
JESSE:
Cici? She’s ... no one.
ESMODONTI:
Hon you can’t lie to Es. You called out her name, twice.
JESSE:
Did I? Damn. Sorry ‘bout that.
ESMODONTI:
Aw baby I don’t care. I can be anyone you want
as long as you do me right.
ESMODONTI:
… So ya wanna tell me about her?
JESSE:
I met her when I was in LA. My family forced me to go to this
lame costume party. I hated it - till she walked in. Man she was hot.
JESSE:
… At first she gave me a hard time.
JESSE:
... but then we found a place to be alone, hang out and ... talk.
ESMODONTI:
Talk? Oh come on Jess, this is Es, nothing happened?
JESSE:
Well, that didn’t happen - not that I didn't try.
ESMODONTI:
So what did happen?
JESSE:
That’s it. It got late. Her ride was leaving and ... I was there with
my parents and no friggin' car. So humiliating. I called her a few
times after that but ... she found out about Tia, and Cyndy.
ESMODONTI:
Hon, if ya want to juggle the ladies ya got to be more careful.
JESSE:
It wasn’t my fault. Cici’s got this brother who knows Mez. Can you
friggin’ believe that? So this dude asks Mez about me.
ESMODONTI:
Ya mean - Mezzie ratted you out?
JESSE:
Naw, he was just talkin' about all of us. Anyway, Cici gets the scoop
on me and that’s that. Can you believe my freakin’ luck?
ESMODONTI:
Aw Jess ...
JESSE:
How’s it possible to be so into someone you only
spent a few hours with?
ESMODONTI:
C’est l’amour. So all this time it's been Cici?
JESSE:
Well yeah, I told you, she’s hot.
ESMODONTI:
What about Tia?
JESSE:
Oh I still like her. Tia’s special. She’s ... so different
but ... Man, did I screw that up.
ESMODONTI:
Didn’t Cyndy break you and Tia up the first time?
JESSE:
Yeah. Cyndy - man, she freakin' rocked my world.
ESMODONTI:
Aw sweetie, you really are in bad way.
JESSE:
I’m telling ya - it really sucks being me.
… Hey are those handcuffs over there? Do they work?
ESMODONTI:
Wanna try 'em on and find out?
JESSE:
You wanna cuff me?
ESMODONTI:
My room. My rules. Got it? So what's it gonna be Jess?
