First Play

Serena
They say that when you stop looking for love, that’s when you find it.
But I’ve loved Darren since we were kids.

He’s my brother’s best friend.
The star quarterback of our college team.

A player. A flirt. An absolute philanderer.
And now my dating coach, who teaches me everything about men.

I get to touch him. To feel him. To taste him. And I want him to be completely mine.

Darren
Serena. My Ducky.
She’s grown up to be a beautiful woman.

She’s my best friend’s sister.
The one I should be protecting from men like me.
A brilliant girl, who could have anyone she wants.

But I want her to want me and only me. It’s selfish, and her brother will have my head when he finds out.
I don’t care. I am a man possessed, and she’s my only solace.
