MY MR. RIGHT "Not Jealous… Just Protective?"

"Not Jealous… Just Protective?"

*AT CAFE*

IVORY SAT ACROSS FROM JADE, LAUGHING AT HIS JOKES, LOOKING HAPPIER THAN EVER. LUCA WATCHED FROM A DISTANCE, HIS JAW CLENCHED. WITHOUT THINKING TWICE, HE WALKED STRAIGHT TO THEIR TABLE.

LUCA MANCHESTER [ ML ]

YO, IVORY! WHAT A SURPRISE! OH, AND WHO’S THIS GUY?

*FAKE SMILE, SITS DOWN WITHOUT ASKING*

JADE

[EXTENDS HAND] I’M JADE! NICE TO MEET YOU.

LUCA MANCHESTER [ ML ]

[SHAKES HAND, GRIPPING TIGHTLY] NICE TO MEET YOU TOO…

IVORY EASTWOOD [FL]

[WHISPERS ANGRILY] WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! GO AWAY!

LUCA MANCHESTER [ ML ]

JUST MAKING SURE YOUR DATE ISN’T A RED FLAG.

IVORY EASTWOOD [FL]

I SWEAR, LUCA—

LUCA MANCHESTER [ ML ]

[IGNORES HER ] SO, JADE, TELL ME, WHAT DO YOU LOOK FOR IN A GIRL?

JADE

UH, SOMEONE WHO'S CHILL, DOESN'T ASK TOO MANY QUESTIONS, AND ISN'T HIGH-MAINTAINENANCE

LUCA MANCHESTER [ ML ]

SO, YOU WOULDN'T MIND IF SHE'S NOT REALLY INTO TALKING ABOUT HER FEELINGS OR NEEDS, RIGHT?

JADE

EXACTLY, I MEAN WHO HAS TIME FOR THAT?

IVORY EASTWOOD [FL]

[GOES PALE] ....WHAT

*LUCA DIDN’T WAIT FOR HER TO REACT. HE TOOK HER HAND AND PULLED HER UP*

JADE

HEY! WHERE ARE YOU GOING?!

LUCA MANCHESTER [ ML ]

OH, DIDN’T I MENTION? SHE’S MY GIRLFRIEND. WE HAD A LITTLE FIGHT, SO SHE CAME HERE TO MAKE ME JEALOUS.

JADE

WAIT, WHAT?! ARE YOU SERIOUS?! [EYES NARROW, VOICE FULL OF DISGUST] UGH, WHAT A WASTE OF TIME. I KNEW YOU WERE JUST A BIT*H.

*GRABS HIS COLLAR*

LUCA MANCHESTER [ ML ]

SAY THAT AGAIN, AND I SWEAR I’LL BREAK YOUR FACE.

*IVORY QUICKLY PULLED LUCA AWAY BEFORE HE COULD DO ANYTHING RECKLESS AND WENT HOME*
