“
Tra la! My favorite part of class!” Maren says from center stage. “Simply partner with one of the people sitting next to you for this exercise and decide which open scene you’d like to perform.”
Liam and I are the only two people sitting in the back row. He looks at me and nods. Guess we’re going to be “I want” and “No, wait…” –
ing with each other.
“I’ll give you a context for your scene and then you guys can find a spot around the premises to practice.”
Maren starts with us. “Back row. Dani’s just told you that she’s pregnant with your alien child. Go.”
Liam turns to me. “That sounds easy enough.”
I laugh. “’Cause you’ve been in this situation before?”
He shakes his head, but doesn’t say no. “
Wanna practice in the hall? I promise to let you be in control of the door.”
“Ooh, goody!” I stand and climb over the back of my seat into the aisle. I go to the door and usher him through. “And,
that’s
how you do it.”
He shakes his head again. “You’re weird.”
“And you’re pretty. Yay for us.”
He fixes his dark gaze on me. “I want…?”
I clutch my abdomen. It’s still a bit sloshy from the
gigantor Diet Coke I had at lunch. “I wish…”
He reaches forward and grasps my forearm. “How?”
And I get this really vivid image in my head of Liam with an enormous, green, alien erection that makes me break character and giggle like a dumbass.
He raises his eyebrows at me and says, “How…?” again.
I can’t keep it together. “How do you think I got your alien baby in my belly, Mister?”
He blushes and chuckles. “I don’t know. That’s why I’m asking. How does it work with your species? On my planet, the female kneels before the male and opens her mouth-
-”
I slap his arm. “Gross!”
He shrugs. “What? She opens her mouth and sings a beautiful tune. Jeez, what did you think I was gonna say?”
I slap his arm again. “You know what.” I look at the clock on the wall above the drinking fountain. “Class is over in five minutes. I guess we better get our acts together and practice for real.”
“Hey, it’s up to you. I’ve been nothing but professional.”
I glare at him and then bust out a smile. “I’m thinking about your big green alien penis again. Sorry.”
“At least it’s big.”
I take two steps back from him. “Okay, I’m ready. My motivation is that I want you to stay with me and raise the baby. What’s yours?”
He chews his lip. “My motivation is to knock up as many cute Earth chicks as I can and then take an intergalactic walk of shame back to Zeldar.”
“Awesome.” I take a deep breath and calm my face, trying as best I can to put yearning into my eyes. It’s not that hard. Green dick or not, I’d hit that…if I made absolutely any effort to hit anything.
“I want…?” His voice is lower and sexier than last time. He makes my job easy.
“I wish…” I say, removing the question from my tone. I know what I want, to keep his alien spawn in my womb!
“How…?” He looks from my eyes to my stomach back to my eyes, his stare boring into me.
I can’t remember my line. It’s one fucking short sentence and I have to look down at my book on the floor. “Why does it matter?”
He turns away from me dramatically and then looks back quickly. “It does, doesn’t it?”
Maren
sticks her head out into the hall. “Time to come in guys, I’ll give you five minutes to practice again at the beginning of the next class.”
Liam walks over and takes the door from
Maren, holding it open for me. “I learned it by watching you.”
I reach up and pat him on the head.
Well, aren’t we super familiar with the guy we’ve known for an hour!
“The more you know.”
He smirks.
We both grab our stuff and shuffle out of the building with the rest of the class. He starts left and I go right.
Liam gives me a wave. “See you on Wednesday,
Dani.”
“See
ya, my alien lovah!”
That gets me a few stares, but considering we’re outside the theatre building, not quite as many as if I’d majored in accounting.
