[M4F] Making It Up To Your Long Distance Partner (Wholesome){14}

Summary: A long-distance relationship of 7 years. Runs into problems when your boyfriend makes a big mistake on video. Showing up at your door, an argument ensues.

Notes. A twisty script. Really relies on delivery to misdirect the audience. Be clear on whether you want to set a serious tone, confused or light-hearted miscommunication.

Usage: feel free to make any changes you want. Gender-bending is okay with me. Credit if used.

<<knock at door>> (muffled)

Hey! Can you hear me? I just got in. Look… I'm really sorry. It's really not as bad as it seems. It looks so much worse in the video. I promise you this will never happen again.

…

Look, I just wasn't myself when it happened. I was missing you so much, and with you in school across the country, I thought I had something to prove. Can we please talk about this inside? I can feel your neighbours judging me through the wall.

(Sigh)

(Emphasis) I am sorry. I made a mistake, but it's not the end of the world. Six years we've been together, through thick and thin. I came as soon as I could. I promise I still love you.

<<knocking>>

…

<<knocking>>

Babe, I love you, come open the door, and we can talk about this like adults. You’re my first priority, we can make this work.
(Chuckle)

I didn't even buy a return ticket; I was so frantic to fly over. It's been so hard without you. I don't care how long it takes for you to come out. I'll stand here all night if I have to; you're worth the wait.

…

<<door opens>>

Hey! Uh, you're looking good. I just … Why are you out of breath?

(Being grabbed sounds AH or smth)

<<door closes>>

Awfully eager to get your hands on me, y'know if I didn't know any better, I'd…

(Nervous chuckle)

Your face it's flush; I'm so sorry. I didn't know I made you this upset. It makes me feel like the biggest asshole.

Look at me. I didn't mean to break your birthday promise. I don't know… I felt I had to do it again. Like I was less of a man if I couldn't hit it. I'm so clumsy and dumb that I messed up my shot to show you how much you mean to me. I should have let her convince me to film it.

There's not a day that goes by where I don't cherish what we've accomplished. Six years I've spent by your side, and I blush every time I think of spending the rest of my life with you. Can you imagine how you make me feel in person?

I could hear how excited you were that I'd finally be able to hold you In my arms. I was so eager to keep you up all night long, showing you just how much I missed you. If you're feeling up to it, we still can; it's really just a minor inconvenience, I uh…

…

I'm sorry, I shouldn't downplay what I did, but I can't tell you enough how hard it is being so far away. I let my insecurities get the best of me, and y'know how Angela is; she talks me into things even if they aren't the best. It really puts things into perspective.

You are the only woman in the world I want to spend the rest of my life with. Almost seven years of ups and downs and breaks and distance made me realize I can't imagine my life without you. I wasn't always ready for commitment, but I am now.

I thought I needed to prove something, that I could be tough and show you how strong I am. It sounds so stupid, but with what happened last time and being away, I just needed to ease my mind a bit.

(Sigh)

All this to say, I've never been with a woman that compares to you, and I would wait another seven years just to tell you I love you.

Hey, you know there's nothing I wouldn't say to make you happy, but I mean every word of it. I promise

You're the woman I want to marry, and if I knew I would have hurt myself, I'd never have listened to her. It was the drinks and time apart. I promise I'll do anything to make it up to you. You name it, I got it.

Just please talk to me. I really, really missed you.

…

Did I bring our anniversary gift? Of course, but can we please get past this first? You know I can't stand you being mad at me.

It's not gonna change if we ignore it, don't give me that look; it's a big deal to me

…

Okay, okay, okay! You're right! I'm in no place to say no to you. Your anniversary gift. I never get tired of how excited you get over my gifts. Come to think of it, I don't think I ever get tired of hearing you.

<<rustling sounds>>

I kept all our letters and notes and put them in a scrapbook. You shoulda seen the look I got going through customs; not all those pictures were wholesome.

Hey, do you remember this? It was right after Christmas; you were so exhausted from school you fell sick. I ended up taking care of you the whole time. You were embarrassed to throw up in front of me, but I didn't mind. After all, what else is a boyfriend supposed to do?

…

Oh, oh! This one. I absolutely loved putting this together. Thanksgiving with your family; I had missed you so much I could barely hold it together. So anxious to get my hands on you. Your dad was giving me the side eye all night. But we kept it quiet; after all, you couldn’t keep me off ya.

(Chuckle)

I had to prop you up for this picture. We ate at that dingy bar you always go to after work with that infamous boxing game. That's where it started. I'm so sorry, but as I recall, you were the one encouraging me at that time.

Of course, I couldn't forget your birthday. You were still in your scrubs when you blew out your candles. You spent all night with patients; I could see you falling asleep at the table. I ended up putting you to bed.

Hey, before we move on, I just want you to know. I promised you I'd never do it again, and look where we are now. I can't believe she talked me into it.

(Sigh)

Look, I know it happened all so suddenly. I know how much you were looking forward to being with me and all the new stuff we had planned. It doesn't change anything; we can still make things work.

I'll show you it's really not that bad. She did a number on my hand, but it looks worse than it is. Here look.

…

See, my hands are just bruised, that old boxing game really did mess up my hand, but I promise, after this much time apart, nothing in the world could stop me from doing what I want with you.

I know I promised I'd never play that stupid game again. I was a little drunk, and I can be so stupid. I was convinced of beating my high score, and with Angela encouraging me how cool it'd be if we got it on camera, I thought, what could be the harm?

Well, clumsy me was a little off the mark with my punch and slipped. If that machine coulda registered the concrete behind it, I'd have beat my personal best.

I'm so sorry; ruining my hand definitely throws a wrench in what I planned doing to you the second I came in the door, but I still got a few things up my sleeve.

Do you forgive me? This time I swear no amount of drinks or social pressure will make me punch that fucking bag again.

…

Ahhh, you’re really one of a kind dealing with me sometimes. I can be so frustrating but when I’m with you I’ve never been more proud to call you mine.

Thank you… for everything babe you’re the best.felt so horrible seeing how red your face was from crying. I didn’t know what to do at the moment. I’m glad you’ve forgiven me.

…

Huh? If you weren't crying, then why was your face all red? Or if you weren't mad, why didn't you text me sooner? I know it was a short flight, but I was really worried you were mad. I…

….

I see, so you weren't crying, just busy. Ya know, I never said I couldn't handle your needs. You really had me going, thinking it was so serious and you were just having a bit of fun.

I think you deserve a little more hands-on apology. How about I spend the rest of the day making it up to you. Trust me, even with bruised fingers, I can do a lot better.

I’ll make sure to show you just how much I cherish every inch of you. I haven’t been hands on with you in forever. I can’t wait a second longer to get my hands on you no matter how bruised they may be.

Come on, let me show you how much I missed you.
