Secrets In the House

                                     (CHAPTER 1)                                                      IT ALL STARTED LAST NIGHT. TIARA HAS A SECRET THAT SHE MIGHT REGRET FOR THE REST OF HER LIFE. SHE REALIZES WHAT SHE HAS DONE AS SHE WAKES UP. WHAT WILL SHE DO?            TIARA WOKE UP AFTER DREAMING ABOUT WHAT SHE HAS DONE BEHIND HER HUSBAND’S BACK. TIARA IS SITTING UP IN THE BED WITH HER HEAD IN HER HANDS. TIARA: WHAT HAVE I DONE? WHAT WAS I THINKING?            TIARA JUMPS OUT OF THE BED AND RUSHES INTO THE BATHROOM TO TAKE A SHOWER. AS SHE RUNS THE WATER AND STANDS UNDER THE SHOWER WHILE THE WATER FLOWS DOWN HER BODY SHE GETS FLASHBACKS OF WHAT HAPPENED LAST NIGHT. TIARA: HOW COULD I DO THAT? FIVE YEARS. FIVE YEARS! (SHE SAYS TO HERSELF SHE HITS HERSELF ON THE SIDE OF HER HEAD AS HER HEAD WAS UNDERNEATH OF THE RUNNING WATER)                        TIARA STARTS TEARING UP AND DROPS TO HER KNEES, FEELING BAD BECAUSE OF WHAT HAPPENED. RANDY STARTS MAKING HIS WAY INTO THE HOUSE AS SHE IS IN THE SHOWER. TIARA COULDN’T HEAR THE DOOR OPENING BECAUSE HER HEAD WAS UNDER THE WATER. RANDY: TIARA! (HE SAYS AS HE COMES INTO THE HOUSE.) TIARA! (HE SAYS AGAIN AFTER HE SHUTS THE DOOR AND WALKS INTO THE LIVING ROOM.)            RANDY CHECKS THE DOWNSTAIRS OF TIARA. WHEN HE REALIZES SHE’S NOT DOWNSTAIRS, HE MAKES HIS WAY UP THE STAIRS. TIARA, (STILL IN THE SAME POSITION) COULD NOT ANYTHING AS TO WHAT WAS GOING ON BUT WHEN RANDY GOT UPSTAIRS, HE COULD HEAR THE WATER RUNNING IN THE BATHROOM. RANDY OPENED THE BATHROOM DOOR, CLOSED THE DOOR, AND THEN OPENED THE SHOWER DOORS. TIARA LOOKED UP AND REALIZED IT WAS RANDY. TIARA: BOY! DO YOU KNOW YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO COME UP TO A PERSON LIKE THAT? HOW MANY TIMES HAVE YOU WATCHED A SCARY MOVIE AND THE WOMAN GETS KILLED JUST BECAUSE SHE DECIDES TO GET CLEANED? (SHE SAID SHE WAS TRYING TO GET HERSELF TOGETHER) RANDY: THAT'S BECAUSE THE LORD KNEW IT WAS TIME FOR THEM TO COME HOME, SO HE WAITED UNTIL THEY GOT IN THE TUB TO WASH THEIR SINS AWAY, JUST LIKE HE KNEW HOW MUCH I MISSED YOU SO HE GAVE ME SOME WINGS SO I COULD FLY HERE AND SEE YOU. I MISSED YOU SO BAD. I COULDN’T WAIT TO COME HOME, HOLD YOU IN MY ARMS, AND MAKE LOVE TO YOU THE WAY WE DID WHEN WE FIRST GOT TOGETHER.            RANDY TRIED TO PUT HIS ARMS AROUND HER BUT TIARA PUSHED HIM BACK. RANDY LOOKED AT HER WONDERING WHY SHE PUSHED HIM BACK. TIARA: IT HAS ONLY BEEN THREE DAYS RANDY DAMN. RANDY: WHAT’S WRONG WITH YOU? TIARA: I’M JUST A LITTLE STRESSED OUT, THAT’S ALL. (SHE PULLS HIM CLOSE AND GIVES HIM A LITTLE SMOOCH ON THE LIPS) I LOVE YOU BABY BUT ALL OF THAT LOVE MAKING AND HOLDING EACH OTHER IS GOING TO HAVE TO WAIT. I’VE BEEN GOING THROUGH SOME THINGS SINCE YOU’VE BEEN GONE. RANDY: I TOLD YOU I SHOULDN’T HAVE WENT TO THAT BUSINESS MEETING OUT OF TOWN. WHAT IS IT? WHAT’S GOING ON WITH YOU? TIARA: THIS IS SOMETHING I HAVE TO WORK OUT ON MY OWN BOO. BUT I DO APPRECIATE BOOKING YOU. RANDY: WELL, I’M HERE IF YOU NEED ME. TIARA: WELL...(SHE PUT SOME SOAP AND WATER ON THE CLOTH AND HANDED IT TO RANDY) CAN YOU GET MY BACK FOR ME?            RANDY BEGAN WASHING HER BACK FOR HER. RANDY: I LOVE YOU. TIARA: I LOVE YOU TO.                        AFTER THE SHOWER, TIARA PUT ON SOME CLOTHES WHILE RANDY WAS BED RESTING OF THAT LONG FLIGHT HOME. JUST AS SHE WAS PLACING HER SHOES ON HER FEET DOOR BELL RANG. TIARA WENT DOWNSTAIRS TO ANSWER THE DOOR. SHE OPENED THE DOOR TO FIND ON THE OTHER SIDE ONE OF HER BEST FRIENDS WHO NAME IS MARIA. (MARIA IS A LATINO WOMAN WHO LOVES TO SHOW OFF HER s*x APPEAL) BEFORE MARIA COULD GET A WORD OUT OF HER MOUTH TIARA PULLED HER INTO THE HOUSE. SHE PUSHED THE DOOR CLOSED AND PULLED MARIA TO THE COUCH AND THEY SAT DOWN. TIARA: (TIARA AND MARIA LOOKING FACE TO FACE) I’VE DONE SOMETHING TERRIBLE GIRL. (SHE SAID WITH A SERIOUS FACE) MARIA: OH MY GOSH! THIS SOUNDS SERIOUS! (SHOWING CONCERN) TIARA: HUSH... RANDY IS UPSTAIRS. (SHE SAYS SOFTLY WHISPERING) MARIA: (WHISPERS) RANDY IS UPSTAIRS? WHEN DID HIS FLIGHT COME IN? ANYWAY, TELL ME ABOUT THIS SECRET. IS IT IF I TELL YOU I HAVE TO KILL YOUR TYPE OF SECRET? TIARA: IT’S NOT THAT BAD... MARIA: NOT THAT BAD?  TIARA: MARIA! IT'S NOT LIKE I KILLED HIM OR ANYTHING. MARIA: SO WHAT ARE YOU TELLING ME? (SHE SAYS LOUDLY) TIARA: SHH... (FINGER TO HER LIPS) MARIA: WELL WILL YOU TELL ME THEN? TIARA: I SLEPT WITH SOMEONE ELSE, AND I THINK I LIKED IT. MARIA: (SHE ROSE OFF OF THE COUCH) WHAT! OH MY GOSH! WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO? DID YOU TELL HIM? TIARA: NO. MARIA: DON’T KEEP IT FROM HIM TIARA. DON’T THINK YOU CAN GET AWAY WITH CHEATING. YOU AREN’T GOING TO DO NOTHING BUT TELL ON YOURSELF BECAUSE AFTER A WHILE YOU ARE GOING TO FEEL GUILTY. TIARA: I KNOW I HAVE TO TELL HIM BUT I DON’T WANT TO LOSE HIM EITHER. THIS IS OUR FIFTH YEAR TOGETHER. OUR ANNIVERSARY IS COMING UP SOON. THE THING IS, I TOLD HIM TO GO ON THAT BUSINESS TRIP. HE IS GOING TO THINK THAT WAS THE REASON WHY I TOLD HIM TO GO. MARIA: LOOK, I’M NOT THE BEST PERSON TO TALK TO ABOUT THIS BECAUSE I HAVEN’T EVEN HAD A RELATIONSHIP IN FIVE YEARS, BUT WHAT I DO KNOW IS THAT YOU DON’T WANT TO KEEP SECRETS IN YOUR HOUSE BECAUSE EVENTUALLY YOUR HOUSE IS GOING TO LET YOUR SECRET OUT. AND ON THAT NOTE I’M GOING TO LEAVE SO YOU CAN GATHER YOUR THOUGHTS AND THINK ABOUT WHAT I SAID.                         TIARA GOT OFF OF THE COUCH AND TIARA WALKED MARIA TO THE DOOR. TIARA: BUT YOU JUST GOT HERE. MARIA: I KNOW, BUT THAT INFORMATION YOU GAVE ME IS A BIT TOO MUCH RIGHT NOW. IF RANDY CAME DOWN THOSE STEPS AND TOOK ONE LOOK AT ME HE WOULD KNOW SOMETHING IS WRONG. TIARA: I GUESS YOU’RE RIGHT. MARIA: I KNOW I’M RIGHT. (GIVES TIARA A HUG) CALL ME GIRL. TIARA: I'LL DO THAT.            AFTER MARIA LEFT, TIARA GOT THE REST OF HER THINGS TOGETHER FOR WORK AND LEFT OUT.
