ANTHONY, D’NISHA & AMBER
Jealousy Takes Over The Podcast Studio
SCENE: D’NISHA’S PODCAST STUDIO — EVENING
The podcast studio is quiet after a long recording session. Soft studio lights glow over the microphones, cameras, and chairs. D’Nisha is standing near the main desk, reviewing notes on her tablet.
The door suddenly opens.
Anthony walks inside.
D’Nisha looks up and smiles when she sees him.
Anthony? What are you doing here?
I wanted to see you.
A SURPRISING MOMENT
Anthony walks toward D’Nisha with a warm smile. After talking about everything they have been through, Anthony gives D’Nisha a warm hug.
D’Nisha is surprised by the sudden affection. Anthony tells her how important she has become to him.
You deserve to know how important you are to me.
A quiet moment passes between them. Anthony leans closer and gives D’Nisha a brief kiss.
D’Nisha steps back, surprised.
AMBER WALKS IN
Before D’Nisha can respond, the studio door opens again.
Amber walks inside.
She suddenly stops when she sees Anthony and D’Nisha standing very close together.
The smile disappears from Amber’s face.
Wow.
AMBER’S JEALOUSY
Amber looks from Anthony to D’Nisha. Her jealousy quickly turns into anger.
I didn’t realize I was walking into something.
Amber, it’s not what you think.
Really? Because from where I’m standing, it looks pretty clear.
THE CONFRONTATION
Anthony tries to calm Amber down, but she refuses to listen. The tension inside the studio continues to rise.
Amber, calm down.
Don’t tell me to calm down!
D’Nisha remains quiet while Anthony tries to keep the situation from becoming even more heated.
THE QUESTION
Amber looks directly at Anthony, waiting for an explanation. Her expression shows that she feels betrayed.
So what exactly is happening here?
I’m trying to be honest about how I feel.
Amber stares at him.
And you chose her?
AMBER LEAVES
Amber grabs her purse and heads toward the door. Anthony follows her, trying to stop the situation from ending badly.
Amber, wait.
I can’t believe this.
Amber walks out of the studio. The door closes behind her.
THE AFTERMATH
D’Nisha looks toward the closed door, worried about what just happened. Anthony remains beside her.
Anthony… I didn’t want this.
Neither did I.
A long silence follows. Both of them realize that this moment may have changed everything.
Outside the studio, Amber walks away still angry and jealous. Inside, Anthony and D’Nisha are left wondering what will happen next.
