Rich Man x Poor Girl

Rich Man x Poor Girl by SilentThyzer



(Ambient noise of a crowded street)

Well...you look like you've seen better days. No offense.
What does your sign say? "Need money 4 food".
God, that breaks my heart.

(He begins to sift through his wallet)

Let me see if I've got any spare change...
(Mumbling to himself) Hmm, no that'll barely get you half a meal.
How about I give you a little more than food.

I've got a spare room at my house, I could take you back there, give you a hot shower, clean clothes, a warm bed and most importantly all the food you could ever dream of eating.

Hehe, no, I'm not messing with you. This isn't some kind of sick prank, if it was it certainly wouldn't be very funny.
My butler is right over there, come join me in my car and we can get you out of these nasty clothes.
(He sighs) Yes, I have a butler, it's a long story. Look, do you want some food and a shower or not?
Unless of course you'd rather stay here...that's entirely your decision.

I wouldn't blame you if you didn't trust some random stranger on the street.
I just wish there was a way I could prove I'm not some psycho kidnapper. Ummm, would a pinkie promise work?

(He nervously laughs)

I know it's not much, but I can't think of anything else.

(Pause)

You'll come? Excellent, my driver will be here any second.

(Long pause, they are now in the car and approaching his house)

See this house up ahead, that's where I live.
Yeah, I know...it's big.

(They both step out of the car and make their way to the door)

Here we are, follow me. I'll give you the very, very...

(He lets out a long sigh)

VERY big tour.

Let me get the door for you.

(He fumbles with some keys before opening the door)

Impressive isn't it?
Stick close to me, you can get lost real easy in here.
This place has three main hallways and a hell of a lot of rooms in each one.

Four bathrooms, four bedrooms, two kitchens, my own personal gym, library and even a private cinema.
Down that way is my study, this room right here has my entire art collection and I've got a beautiful greenhouse that takes up the entire third floor.
I can't lie, it's pretty sweet living here.

So, if you go aaallll the way down that hallway, you'll find one of the bathrooms.
Feel free to have a shower or bath, whichever you prefer.
One of my butlers prepared a change of clothes for when you're done. Then he'll direct you to the dining room for dinner.

(Pause)

Ah, look at you. Fresh as a daisy!
You look great...smell better too.
Come join me by the fireplace, the flames have just started to pick up.

(He scooches over on the couch and she sits with him)

I got us some marshmallows in case you feel like snacking.
I may not be the best cook in the kitchen, but I can roast a killer marshmallow.
Check it out, got my whole technique perfected. Perfect, brown marshmallow. Not a single burn in sight.

(He stuffs the marshmallow in his mouth)

(Muffled from eating) Now you try.

(Pause)
(Panicked)
No, no, no that's too close to the flame you'll...
burn it.

Ah, don't worry about it, we've got heaps.
Besides, nothing wrong with having them right out of the bag.

(He eats another marshmallow)

You're shivering like crazy, you want another blanket?
One of my butlers could grab one in like five seconds.
Or...

If you wanted, we could snuggle up.
Here, let me get my arms around you.

(They both shuffle around under the blanket)

There you go, you can lean you head against me if you want.
Aaah, doesn't this feel better?
Warmth from another person is ALWAYS better than warmth from a blanket.

(Pause)

Listen, I was thinking...
Would you be interested in moving in with me?

I'm serious. I could use the company.
It gets kinda lonely here, even with my butlers.
I mean, I love them. But I can't imagine any of them wanting to snuggle with me in front of a fire.

(He giggles)

But honestly, I feel like it would be a win-win situation. I get some company and you don't have to sleep out on the street anymore.
No, you wouldn't be a burden on me! Absolutely not!
Nobody deserves to be stuck begging in the street.

I...I'd really like it if you stayed with me.

(Pause)

You will?
Oh, you have no idea how happy that makes me.

(He lets out a big yawn)

How about tomorrow we go shopping for some clothes and other stuff you might need.
We can spend the whole day together.

But I'm way too tired for that. For now we can rest.
