She wakes up from her bed early in the morning to prepare for food for Daniel’s lunch and breakfast. She starts making coffee and pours a cup for Daniel and puts coffee creamer into. He doesn’t like black.

Daniel walks into the kitchen

Daniel- Goodmorning.

Selma- Morning.

Daniel walks to the tv and turns it on before returning to their small kitchen table to drink his coffee.

While he is drinking his coffee he is listening to weather report.

Newscast- Today we are looking at a dry sunny afternoon but it doesn’t mean to put away the umbrellas just yet because later in the afternoon, we are expecting a down pour.

Daniel- Goddamn it!

Newscast- So expect a delay for public transport later in the day.

Selma is pouring a cup of coffee for herself.

Daniel- Hey, what are you doing! How many times do I have to tell you Selma.

Selma puts down her cup.

Selma- Im sorry, Its out of habit, you know. I haven’t had coffee in such a long time and my body wants it so bad.

Daniel- I know but you have to watch out with what you’re putting into your body, its not only you living there. Remember, the doctor said you can’t be taking in too much caffei-

Selma- Ok already!… I told you i’m sorry.

Selma puts down the mug and walks over to the stove to give Daniel his food.

Selma- How much do you want?

Daniel- Just a little bit, Im not so hungry. My stomach kind of hurts actually.

Selma prepares a plate of breakfast for him.

Daniel- Thank you. How are you feeling?

Selma sits across from him in their small kitchen table.

Selma- About what?

Daniel- About yesterday. About you know… the TV star you saw yesterday.

Selma- Oh, You’re talking about that. I feel ok about it now but, I had a weird dream last night.

Daniel- About him right?

Selma has a look of confusion on her face.

Selma- No. Why would you say that?

Daniel- Because you were saying his name in your sleep.

Selma’s face then turns into shock and anger but she tries to hide it.

Selma- I was?

Daniel- Yeh.

They share an awkward moment silence but at least for Selma because Daniel is eating his food as he didn’t hear her woman say another man’s name.

Daniel- It’s ok. You’re going through grief. I get it.

Selma still doesn’t say anything but all she can do is look at Daniel.

Daniel- You know, I woke up remembering how we first met. That day we all went out together.

Selma snaps out of it.

Selma- Really?

Daniel- Yeah.

Selma- I haven’t thought about that in a long time… Although, I don’t like to think about it as our first time meeting each other.

Daniel- I do, its the first time I saw you and knew that I wanted to be with you.

Selma- Our second date was technically our first date and that was better than our first time meeting each other.

Daniel- You’re not wrong, but its more entertaining to tell this one to people.

Selma- You tell this story to other people!

Daniel chuckles

Daniel- well yes, I can’t talk about someone I love? Since when was that wrong? Sometimes I find myself only thinking about you. It gives me the need to shit on other people with bad relationships.

Selma- That’s not the point Daniel and that’s kind of a mean thing to do to people. I didn’t know I was with such a terrible person.

Selma chuckles as well.

Daniel- Im just playing, I don’t really go around telling people about how perfect our love is.

Selma- So you don’t tell anyone about me at all? Thats just as terrible.

Daniel Laugh.

Daniel- Of course I do but I have to be careful and not tell everybody because what if someone comes and tries to steal you away from me. Thats why I tell them about our first date so they can see how you really are.

Selma- How I really am? What is that suppose to mean Daniel?

Daniel- You don’t remember how you use to treat me Selma? You use to be so cold to me but that only made me want you even more.

Selma- Even if I beat you with a stick, you wouldn’t leave me alone.

Daniel- Yeah that’s true.


Selma smiles.

The Story then changes perspective to Daniel sitting in a cafe with a girl he was on date with. The girl he was on a date with was Jeremy’s friend.

Jeremy- Sorry we’re late Ashley, we didn’t expect the rain to start pouring so bad. We got stuck in the transit.

Ashley- It’s alright, we just got here a couple of minutes ago. I guess we were also late…

(As Daniel is telling the story he is talking from out side the story as a narration)

[Daniel- I remember you were standing behind Jeremy like a scared little girl, I felt bad for you]

[Selma- Did it turn you on?]

[Daniel- What? You being a little girl, Don’t be a pervert!]

[Selma- I thought it was like a male fantasy to want to protect a girl and then ---- her]

[Daniel- Yeah, but I didn’t think about it then.]

[Selma- then?]

[Daniel- Shut up.]

Ashley- I’ve been wanting you to meet him, his name is Daniel, Daniel Walsh.

Ashley looks over to Daniel

Ashley- This is my best friend, Jeremy Hall.

Daniel- Hey. It’s nice to meet you.

Daniel reaches out for a hand shake, but instead Jeremy turns around to introduce Selma.

[Daniel- I thought to myself; This fucking guy! But then, that’s when I saw you entirely.]

Selma- Hello, Im Selma.

[Daniel- You were so beautiful that day.]
