The Forbidden Best Friend
The moment my friend told him not to touch me, the city's top playboy saw me.
Opening
A lounge club atop a downtown high-rise. It's Sienna's birthday, and I'm thirty minutes late.
Kyle Brennan, twenty-nine, the quarterback everyone knows, lounges with two women, whiskey in hand.
Sienna: "Kyle. For my birthday, I want one thing."
Kyle: "I already gave you a present. I booked this party."
Sienna: "Not that. My best friend is arriving. Don't touch her."
Kyle: "My schedule's already packed."
Then I enter their line of sight.
Sienna: "You're here! Over here—"
Kyle turns. His arms fall away; his glass pauses midair.
Kyle: "…That's your best friend?"
Sienna: "Kyle. You just promised."
He laughs shortly—not the laugh of a man who's been warned.…
