(A few days passed and it was Saturday night which meant Mariska and Sean were going out for the sixth time. Mariska found he was easy to talk to and considered him a good friend who could relate to how she felt being here.)
(He decided to take her to a club there wanting to change it up a bit. It was more like a grown-ups lounge and they were having a good time. Mariska was on her first drink as they say and took in the vibe and people dancing.)
Sean: Hey would you like to dance?
Mariska: Mm I don't know.
Sean: Come on, loosen up a bit. I know you can dance you look like you can.
Mariska: (chuckle) Indo a little but not like that.
(She points at the people on the floor.)
Sean: We can stay up here. That way we won't have to worry about stepping on any toes or having drinks wasted on us.
Mariska: (gives him a look) Yeah I think that's a great idea.
Sean: Let me get you another drink.
Mariska: Thank you, Sean.
(As he leaves to go get her another drink, she looks around the club sees all the people, and smiles. By the end of the night many drinks and close dances later, they were headed back to Mariska's apartment.)
Sean: I haven't felt this good in a long time.
Mariska: (giggle) I haven't felt this good in, hell I've never felt this good.
Sean: This the first time I've seen you this loose.
Mariska: I'm not a prune now Sean. I've been out to a club a time or two with my best friend back home.
(He finally pulls up to her place and looks over at her. Her head is against the window with her eyes closed.)
Sean: Mariska was here.
Mariska: Hmm?
Sean: We're back at your place.
Mariska: (straightens up) Oh, umm would you like to come in for a cup of coffee? We are both brink and I wouldn't feel right letting you drive home like that.
Sean: Sure, I can use a cup.
Mariska: Alrighty then.
(He gets out and goes to open her door before she can herself. She gets out and smiles at him at his kind gesture.)
Sean: Mom always told me to be a gentleman.
Mariska: (smiles) Your mom raised a great guy. Come on and let's get some coffee in you before it gets too late.
(She takes his hand and leads him to her door as she struggles to open it. Once they finally make it inside she heads for the kitchen and gets the coffee going. As she does that Sean slowly walks and stands close behind her.)
Sean: (muzzle her neck) Tonight was great.
Mariska: (stiffens up) Umm yeah it was.
Sean: Mariska can I talk to you for a minute?
(She turns and has to move back a little seeing how close he is.)
Mariska: What up?
Sean: How long are we going to do this little dance?
Mariska: What little dance Sean?
Sean: We have been hanging out for six weeks now. You know how I feel about you, it's not just friendship for me and I don't know, it seems like we have gotten closer.
Mariska: (clears her throat) ahmm, look Sean we are good friends and it's been nice hanging out. But Sean, I'm not looking for a relationship and I'm sorry if I mislead you in any way.
Sean: So what you're saying is there no chance in hell for you and me?
Mariska: I'm sorry Sean but I don't like you in that way. You're a great guy and I'm sure there's someone out there who will be happy to be with you in that way.
(Sean feels hurt and frustrated but he's not going to let her know that.)
Sean: (rubs his neck) You're right I'm sorry. I hope this doesn't ruin our friendship or anything. I was just trying to shoot my shot and get the gorgeous girl before another lucky man did.
Mariska: You sweet, how about we forget this ever happened and get some coffee in our system? I'm really not looking forward to a hangover in the morning.
Sean: (makes a face) Yeah, that would be great.
Mariska: OK, why don't you make yourself comfortable while I go change into something more comfy?
Sean: Yeah sure, take your time.
(Mariska places a hand on his arm and caresses it for a second before she turns to head to her room. Sean leans against the counter as his eye watches her retreating form. Feeling played and upset if being turned down by a woman, he slowly crept his way towards her bedroom.)
(Mariska was stripped down to her lace underwear and was about to remove her stockings when she heard a noise. She looks up but sees no one so she continues to take them off. She moves to her dresser to look for some tights and an oversized shirt. Feeling like she's being watched, a chill runs up her spine and she turns around.)
Mariska: (gasp) Sean?
Sean: (eyes roam her body) Mmm I knew you were gorgeous underneath all them scrubs.
(Mariska brings her shirt up to cover herself as she looks at Sean. For the first time since knowing him, she sees something demonic in his eyes.)
Mariska: Sean I think you need to leave.
Sean: (gives an evil smirk) Oh I don't think so Mariska.
(She moves to the left to try and put some space between them.)
Mariska: Sean you're scaring me and you need to leave now.
Sean: I'm not leaving until I get what I deserve.
Mariska: (trembling now) Leave or I will call the police Sean this isn't funny.
Sean: Do it look like I'm laughing?
Mariska: Sean look can we talk about this?
Sean: We've had six weeks of talking and I think it's time to move our relationship to the next level.
(Trying to come up with an escape plan in her head, she looks towards her bedroom door. Sean sensing what she's trying to do launches toward her. She quickly dodges him and moves around him running toward the bedroom door.)
