Chapter 2

Back in the basement, Donna answers the door. Hyde enters.

Hyde: Hi. How you doing?

Donna: I'm fine, come in. Have a seat. (they are silent while she pours wine and offers it)

Hyde: Thank you.

Donna: It's hot in here. (she unbuttons the top of her blouse) Do you mind?

Hyde: No.

Donna approaches Hyde in her strapless black dress.

Hyde: I mean the candles, the music, the sexy dress, I mean, what's going on here?

Donna: I like you very much, loverboy.

Hyde: What are you doing this for?

Donna: What's the matter? Don't you like me? I'm your girl?

Hyde: Eric s my best friend. You re going to be married next month. Come on.

Donna: Forget about Eric. This is between you and me.

Hyde: I don t think so. I m leaving now.

Donna: Please don't leave. Please don't leave. I need you. I love you. I don't want to get married anymore. I don't love Eric. I dream about you. I need you to make love to me.

Hyde: I don't think so. Everything s going to be fine, I promise.

They proceed to kiss, then have fully clothed three-minute sex on the spiral stairs.

Your touch

Pullin' fire out of me

Your touch

Like the wind crashing on the sea

Your kiss

As gentle as a summer breeze

Your love

Is what I need to set me free

A rose is what you are to me

The smell of wonders oh so sweet

You are a rose to me

You are my rose baby

You are a rose to me

You are my rose baby

You are my rose

You are my rose

You are my rose

You are my rose

You are my rose

Hyde: Why did you do this to me? Why? Eric's my best friend.

Donna: Didn't you enjoy it?

Hyde: That's not the point.

Donna: I love you, Hyde.

Hyde: Look, you're very attractive, alright? You re beautiful. But we can't do this anymore. I can't hurt Eric.

Donna: I know. He's your best friend.

Hyde: Hey. This will be our secret.

They kiss.
