Promiscuity: "Just to pass the time..."

Unknown painting

Scene 1: Girl dresses up for a date. Before heading off, she pulls out a photograph from a drawer, gives a sad smile and places it back in the drawer.

Scene 2: She heads out to dinner at a nice restaurant with a nice guy. He’s all smiles, talking about himself, making a lot of gestures. He’s so busy talking he doesn’t notice she keeps checking her phone. Though she does a lot of nodding and smiling, her expression is distracted. Camera does a close of her phone, where a text reads, “Come over tonight;)” She pauses and frowns. Then texts him back, “We’ll see.”

Scene 3: Nice guy drops her off at her place. She hugs him goodbye, waves and walks up the stairs to her place. As soon as she closes the door, she rushes to her room where she pulls out another outfit, this one comprising of sexy lingerie. She changes her make-up, puts on red lipstick and tousles her hair. She slides on a pair of platform pumps and a dress-length jacket. Checking her lipstick in the nearby reflection, she gets into her car and heads out.

Scene 4: She arrived at another guys’ house, where he opens the door to greet her while on the phone. There are other guests in the house, they all stare at her as she walks in and quickly heads upstairs to the bedroom. The guy gives no introductions and ignores the audience with a wave of his hand.

Scene 5: They head to his room, where she takes off her coat and hangs it on his chair. Close-up of the coat in the foreground, while the background slowly blurs out, seeing the silhouette of her wrapping her arms around him as they tease and kiss.

Scene 6: In the morning, girl wakes up, looks at her phone and moves off the bed. The guy is embracing her, trying to pull her back in bed, but she teasingly takes his hand away and starts putting her coat on. He walks her down the stairs, she puts on her shoes, gives him a quick hug and heads out for her car.

Scene 7: On the drive home, a close-up of her face, deep in thought as she sings softly to the song. On arm propped on the window and hand near mouth while the other hand is on the steering wheel.

Scene 8: She comes home, takes off her coat and shoes, and looks wistfully around at the empty apartment. She takes off her make-up, and changes into comfy home clothes. She pulls out the photograph from the drawer and slips into her covers. She lies there, looking at the photo until she receives a text.

Scene 9: Close-up of her phone. Nice guy texts: “Dinner was great. Let’s do it again sometime J.” Other guy texts: “Had fun. Do it again on Thursday?”

Scene 10: She looks over at the photograph. Close-up of the photograph. It’s a picture of her with another guy entirely, his arms around her shoulders, her arms around his waist, both smiling happily. She turns the picture around. On the back reads, “I love you. Until death do us part.” A tear slowly trickles down her face, and the scene fades away.
