FIFTEEN

Michelle’s bedroom. Early evening.

Tim and Michelle.

Michelle Have you ever gone down on anyone before?

Tim No.

Michelle Have you ever seen it done?

Tim Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.

Michelle In the flesh or online?

Tim Internet, yeah.

Michelle Well, again, prepare yourself, because.

Tim …

Michelle Just don’t expect all the screaming and wailing you see online.

Tim Oh.

Okay.

How come?

Michelle Tim, focus.

It’s basically the same principle as before.

Tim Right.

Michelle As in, the bit you wanna aim for –

Tim Clitoris, right.

Michelle And.

Again.

Gently.

Take your time.

Michelle gets into bed, underneath the duvet, removes her underwear and slides them out from the side of the bed.

Tim Thanks.

Again.

This is really great.

Not to mention –

Michelle Tim.

Tim goes under the duvet and begins attempting oral sex.

Michelle’s face perhaps suggests to us that Tim’s attempts aren’t entirely successful.

I think you can probably slow down a bit.

Tim It’s pretty dark.

Michelle What?

Tim comes up from underneath the duvet:

Tim It’s pretty dark.

I mean it’s your room, your rules, that’s.

Just saying though, ’s pretty difficult to.

See. Much.

Maybe if you could like.

Michelle What?

Tim I mean if you were maybe sort of able to give me a kind of.

Like a hot or cold or something.

Michelle What?

Tim As in, if it’s good, you could say, ‘warm’.

And if it’s –

Michelle It’s not fucking charades, Tim.

Tim I’m not saying –

Michelle If you can’t see, that’s your problem, not mine.

…

Tim Do you have a torch?

Michelle Tim.

Tim Alright, alright, alright.

Tim goes back underneath the duvet.

Tim re-emerges from underneath the duvet.

Tim reaches into his back pocket and takes out a box of matches.

Michelle Tim.

Tim takes a match from the box.

Tim, seriously.

Tim quickly goes back underneath the duvet.

Tim strikes up a match.

Michelle Tim.

Tim Got it.

Michelle Tim!

Michelle moves away from Tim. He emerges from underneath the duvet.

Tim What’s up?

Michelle I think that’s.

Tim Oh.

Are you alright?

Michelle (nods) Sometimes it just.

Sometimes you can just sort of tell today’s not gonna be the day.

Tim Oh.

Was it something I was doing?

Michelle …

Tim Was it the match?

Michelle …

Tim Worked pretty well, you know.

…

Michelle Will you come here, please?

Tim is hesitant.

He moves towards Michelle.

Will you pass me my underwear please?

Tim does so.

Michelle puts her underwear back on beneath the bedding.

Michelle gets out of bed and hugs Tim.

Tim is not quite sure how to respond.

Michelle gently takes Tim’s arms and places them around her.

Tim You alright?

Michelle nods.

You sure?

Michelle Yeah.
