Fleeting - First Meeting (Script) [F4M]

[F4M] Fleeting - Chance Encounters with a Shy Girl (First Meeting) [Internal Monologue] [Shy] [Awkward] [Cute] [Swooning] Almost a [Meet Cute]

On the train home after a long day at work, you (the speaker) notice a dashing stranger board the train and sit in front of you. Being the shy, awkward type, you swoon, freaking out so hard that you can't make your move before he leaves the train.

Just for a reminder, this all takes place in the speaker's thoughts.

[long sigh] What a day. First I'm late, then I get put on this stupid project, and then I have to stay after work to finish it all up.

[heavy sarcasm] By the way, thanks Jessica. Really showing how responsible you are as a manager today, shoving all this stuff on me. Top notch division of labour.

Freaking Jessica, seriously.

Someone should say something to her...but not me.

Yeah...I, uh...wow. Thinking about it...that wouldn't go down well at all.

*I'd* probably be the one that ends up apologising.

[sigh] At least it's over. Now I can just sit here and shut out the world.

I might even get some reading done.

I can't believe I had to catch this train, though. It's so late...how can it be so late?

[scoff] Screw you, Jessica.


Best not to think about this now. I'm going home, and that's all that matters and...wait a minute who is this?

[flirty] Well *hello*, you tall drink of cashmere, you~

[frantic] Wait, oh my god no, please just keep walking...[sigh] annnd you're sitting directly opposite me.

Please oh please do not look at me. I'm not blushing, am I? I hope I'm not. Maybe...maybe I can keep my book up here in front of my face. Yeah, this should work.


Oh, you're also taking out a book to read, are you? Anything interestingggg oh my god that's my book.

That's my book.

[freaking out] You are reading the exact same book as me.

What's going on here? Is this like...ok slow your role, me. I *refuse* to say fate.

[gasp] He noticed it! Maybe he'll-

[squeal] Ok do *not* smile at me like that you gorgeous man. Stop it!

Yes, I *know* we're reading the same book please don't- ohhh-

[frantic] Um, uh, book up, book back up!


[sigh] That was probably one of the worst, most childish things I could have done.

Let me just pretend it never happened and hopefully he will too.

But what is wrong with me? Why am I getting so flustered?

I don't know...he's so...dapper...but in a cute way.

That's not fair, you know? Sitting there with your book, all wrapped up in that scarf...you look so cozy~

[swooning] Just wrap me up in there with you oh my god~

Oh my god. I, uh...I need to not do that. I'm letting my imagination run wild.


I wonder if he's new in town or something.

That doesn't even make sense, why would I think that? It's not like I take this train, like...ever. This could even be his usual ride.

What if he *is* new in town, though? Maybe he needs someone to show him around, help him find his bearings~

Or maybe he's been here all this time and *I'm* the new person. And he'll sweep me off my feet and show me the true meaning of Christmas just like in-

Jesus Christ. [sigh] That's not- this isn't- why am I even coming up with this garbage, I-

Wait, are you leaving? [whiny] Nooo, don't get up! I didn't even say anything to you!

[freaking out] Oh god, don't look at me with those beautiful eyes, oh *NO*.


[groan] I'm pathetic. Did I possibly just miss out on someone amazing?

Not that something would have come out of that...but just...[sigh]

[disappointed] I...need to get better at this. Who knows if I'll even see him again?

I hope I do.
