Please Be Gentle, Scene #01
Picture this: A timid, book-loving girl named Alice, played brilliantly by Paige Owens, decides it's time to break out of her shell. When a popular girl, Lexi, invites her to a pool party, Alice sees her chance to shine! But oh, how appearances can deceive! As Alice steps into the party, she's met with sneers and jeers—she's been set up, and it's a cruel, cruel joke. Pushed into the pool, humiliated, and in tears, Alice thinks her day can't get any worse. But then, in storms Lexi's dad, Raymond, portrayed with captivating intensity by Tommy Pistol. He's having none of this nonsense, and the party's over! Raymond helps Alice, offering her warmth and comfort. But this isn't your typical hero—he's complex, troubled, and oh-so-intriguing. As they chat, Alice learns that Raymond isn't the happy family man he seems. He's drawn to girls like Alice—smart, sweet, innocent. He sees something in her, something he insists is worth celebrating. Alice is perfect just the way she is, he says. But where is this going? Alice squirms as Raymond showers her with praise, acting like he truly gets her. But wait, is he coming on to her? He's married, and she's a virgin! Yet, Raymond brushes off her concerns. He thinks she deserves better for her first time—someone experienced, someone who can truly take care of her. Someone, perhaps, like him? Oh, the temptation! Alice is torn. She's been hurt once today, but could this be her moment to shine, to be seen, truly seen, for who she is? Could Raymond be the one to make her feel special, to make her first time memorable? The tension is palpable, the chemistry undeniable. Will Alice take the plunge? Will Raymond be the gentle guide she needs? The stage is set, the actors are in place, and the performance of a lifetime is about to unfold. Don't miss a beat, don't dare blink—this is a scene that will leave you on the edge of your seat, breathless and begging for more!
