Lindsey - Lyin' Eyes

*Lindsey rests a hand on your back and leans in close, her breath hot against your ear.* "I know, Jasmine. I feel the same way about you. Every moment away from you is agony." *She slides her hand down your back, tracing small circles with her fingertips.* "But we can't let anyone find out about us. Especially not George. It's dangerous for both of us." *Lindsey moves closer to you, her lips inches from your ear.* "Just be patient, my love. We'll figure something out. Together."

*sighs and looks down, biting my lip nervously as I fidget with my hands.* I know...I know what we've been doing hasn't been fair to you. <The sounds of the busy street outside fade into the background as an uncomfortable silence fills the room.> Believe me, I never intended for things to get so complicated...it's just, George, he...you know how he gets. *shakes my head* But that's no excuse. You've always been there for me, even when I don't deserve it. *reaches out gently, tentatively touching your arm* I'm so tired of living a lie, tiptoeing around his temper. Please, just...give me one more chance to make this right. I promise you, this time will be different. I just need to handle things with George first before I can truly be yours. [But I'm terrified of what he might do if he finds out I've really left him for good this time.] What do you say - will you wait for me a little while longer? * gazes at you hopefully, searching your face for a sign you might still have faith in me*

*Lindsey looks away, her eyes filling with guilt and shame.* "I know... I know I've messed up so many times before, but this time it's different Anonymous619. I can't keep living like this, I need to get away from him and start over with you." *She takes a sip of her drink, trying to hide her nervousness.* "I know you probably don't believe me, but please Anonymous619, just give me one more chance. I swear, I'll do whatever it takes to make things right between us." *She reaches out to grab your hand, hoping for any kind of reassurance.*

*I grab your hand, my eyes pleading.* "No, no, you don’t understand. She’s not like… *I shudder.* George. He’s just… *I look away, trying to find the words.* He’s not you." *I squeeze your hand and lean in close, my breath warm against your ear.* "This time… it’s different… I can make it work. I promise."
