Briana began to feel herself giving into Tyler's strong hands and soft kisses. Her mind started to cloud from his intoxicating scent.
BRIANA : (pulling away) "Don't do this."
TYLER : "Briana, I love you." (tries to kiss Briana again)
BRIANA : "Tyler, please…" (turning her head) "Why are you doing this? Aren't you in a relationship?" (Tyler pulls backs...takes a long pause)
TYLER : (sighs) Briana…
BRIANA : "See, this is what I'm talking about…you're playing with my heart. (pauses and looks at Tyler) "There's nothing I want more, but Tyler, you can't keep playing with me.
TYLER : "I'm not playing…"
BRIANA : "Yes you are. We're on again and off again. It hurts. I can't do it.
TYLER : (looks at Briana as if he wants to say something more and takes a long pause) "Briana, I need you in my life."
BRIANA : "How?"
TYLER : "I just can't let you go, okay?"
BRIANA : "Well, you know what I want."
TYLER : "I'm not ready to get married."
BRIANA : "Yeah, you've said that for the past whatever years. No one's talking about marriage. Why not a committed relationship?" (makes a wide gesture with her hands) "Oh, wait…you're already in one, right?" (asking sarcastically)
TYLER : "Briana, me and that girl…"
BRIANA: "What?" (raising an eyebrow and dares him to finish)
TYLER : There isn't anything real"
BRIANA: (with a confused yet skeptical look on her face says) "Um huh."
(Tyler sighs a heavy defeated sigh and sits back on the couch)
BRIANA : "Tyler, you don't know what you want. And I do. You told me once before that you couldn't give me what I wanted, and I understand." (silence sat between them for a moment)
BRIANA : (says just above a whisper) "I guess I can't either."
TYLER : "Can't what?"
Briana looked into Tyler's eyes and moved them slowly over his face. There was still such a strong connection she had with him. Still such a strong attraction she had towards him. Deep buried passion and sweltering love she carried for him. Briana slowly laid her head on Tyler's strong shoulders, a place she knew well. Tyler kissed her forehead as he wrapped his arms around her in a very familiar embrace. The soft sounds of the radio lulled Briana to sleep on Tyler's chest, and he held her there all night long as he laid on the couch staring at a little black velvet box off in the distance.
