Virtue over Vixen

VIRTUE OVER VIXEN

INT. APARTMENT-NIGHT
James and Lily crash through the door, passionately embracing each other. They smooch and caress all the way to her room. The lights are out, the windows slightly open, but they continue to bang and bump around wildly. James is secretly looking for something while they make out, he finds something in the drawer and throws it out the window without Lily knowing. They finally fall onto the bed where they continue to engage sensually. Lily slowly starts to drag her hand down to his pants, seconds before contact he stops her.
James
(sighs)..I can’t.
Lily
(Confused)..I can’t what?
James
(Depressingly) Do..this.
Lily
...something wrong?
James
(Quickly answers) No, nothing’s wrong, it’s just..
Lily
What?..I know for a fact I don’t stink, I showered before I left the house. (She starts smelling her pits)
James
(Chuckling) No it’s not that..
Lily
(still investigating) My breath? (cupping and sniffing her breath)that’s impossible, I swallowed like a pack of trident tonight.
James
Are you well? You know how long that stays in your system?
Lily
Myth. They disproved it ages ago.
James
Who did?
Lily
Ummm..Adam and Jamie.
James
Who?
Lily
Myth busters?.. The show..that’s ok your slow
James
Wow eh.. all those trips to the can, when I could of just..swallowed it.
Lily
(softly lifts his chin to her face)It was a joke, don’t ever swallow gum (she lightly moves his head side to side, now forget that and answer me...why don’t you want to have sex with me?
James
(starts fidgeting)It’s just..that..
Lily
Come on...use your words.
James
(Slowly turns his head back to her, sighs, then smiles)I can’t have sex with you because someone, somewhere, out there in the world, who may or may not know you already, is in absolute love with you.
Lily
...I’m so lost.
James
What I’m trying to say is that..uh..that(struggling)
Lily
(slowly dipping her head waiting for clarity)
James
I’m...a(holds the vowel for a little moment then blurts)...screw it, I’m a virgin. (Slowly slips out from under her and sits upright on the bed and kind of looks contemplative.)
Lily
(Starts laughing heartily)
Oh my!
James
Whatever man I don’t need this, Im gunna go (starts getting up but Lily pulls him back down to the bed)
Lily
Don’t go! I was laughing because what you said was completely off from what I was expecting.
James
What were you expecting?
Lily
I thought you were gunna tell me you were gay!
James
What the hell!, why would you think that? I don’t even give off that vibe.
Lily
It’s happened before! (laughing)
James
You’ve known me for half your life now, you KNOW I’ve had girlfriends.
Lily
Yea but your relationships were so short, and come to think of it, I’ve never actually SEEN you with any of these supposed girlfriends of yours. (suspiciously laughing)
James
I’m not gay, never have been, ok. (Gives in to her contagious laugh and smiles)
Lily
(Moves closer to him)To be honest, I love virgins, they’re actually my specialty, don’t be scared..(whispers last line and starts kissing him again, but he softly pushes away from her and stands up)
James
(Chuckling)...I’m not a virgin because of fear, I’m a virgin.. because I choose to be.
Lily
(Giggling)...Is this a joke or is this real right now, cuz im really horny.
James
(walks to her drawer and pulls it out) why else would I throw out your box of condoms?
Lily
(A look of shock sits on her face.)

CUT SCENE: 30 minutes later
The two are lying in bed passing a joint.
Lily
(Pensively staring up)first, never in a million years would I have thought I’d almost sleep with a man of faith...second, I essentially just got cock blocked by God.
James
The lord works in mysterious ways.. (he looks at her and smirks, they both laugh)
Short silence passes, a joint is done being rolled by James and is passing between them
James
I plan on becoming a priest one day (passes the joint)
Lily
Wow...that’s...a big calling (Takes a hefty hit passes)
James
Ever since my parents split, I lost my inner peace. I realize now it’s something I’ve been craving ever since it happened. Sundays were always the most peaceful, church really gave me comfort when I needed it most. I feel like, through priesthood, I can share the peace I felt, the peace that others crave also. It’s either that or military service...but I really hate guns. I’d rather shoot demons than people anyway. (smiles, grabs the joint and hits)
Lily
(exhales and coughs) Tell me how could you or any person of faith forbid or postpone themselves from pleasure (coughs)
James
(exhales) how so?
Lily
I can’t fathom the idea of waiting for sex, like waiting for someone that you love that you may possibly NEVER meet. That’s insane, that sounds like a curse to be honest.
James
(chuckles passes the joint) the right person is always worth waiting for. Love is forever.
Lily
yeaaa..(takes a drag)..while that sound may sound poetic, it seems completely impractical.
James
(smiles)It’s a principle that’s lasted through the ages my friend.
Lily
(exhales)..By weak people who need to take charge of life’s opportunities.

James
(grabs joint, hits, exhales and snorts) you don’t understand.. here...what would you rather as a partner, a caterpillar, sluggish, anxious, naive ,or, a butterfly, full of life, mature and majestic...
Lily
(takes joint back)Depends...who’s packin what (sacks him averagely hard)
James
(In pain holding his balls but laughing) You’re a sick person.
Lily
(puts out joint Laughing, then goes to kiss him on the cheek as he’s tending his nuts)
No more dope for you father from now on,(pauses)...While our outlooks differ, alot, like ALOT...What you did took courage, to stand up and speak your truth..quite sexy too (smiles).
James
(kinda smiling sheepishly still in a little pain)
Lily
Tell me this though, why come to my house tonight if you weren’t going to sleep with me?
James
(lies back with his hands behind his head, sighs)...to be honest...(turns to look at her) I belong to a secret cult that demanded I bring home a lost soul for our sacrificial ceremony tonight, (looks away) I was going to manipulate you in coming home with me but I had a change of heart, plus you lack purity.
Lily
(Has been smiling the whole time) I’m glad you changed your mind. And since you have came clean, I must confess something myself...(inching closer to the back of James) you must forgive me for I am about to sin.
James
About to sin? What do you mean about to si..
Lily sacks James harder than before, James shrieks in agony and falls off the bed.
Lily
Please forgive me? (sarcastically)
James
(From the ground, out of breath)I forgive you..Satan.
Lily
(Looking at him from over the bed, smirking)Aww, that’s harsh buddy, what does Matthew say again, (mocking accent) Judge not, lest ye be judged...went to catholic school my whole life, I retained some information.
James
...(James in severe pain on the ground, whimpers)..you need help woman.
(Lily leaves the frame snickering)Love you! (Door shut sound from her entering the bathroom.
