When Shayla Secretly Escaped to Jamaica with Anthony — And Amber Had No Clue What Was Brewing! π±π₯
Scene: A luxurious private villa in Montego Bay, Jamaica. The waves crash outside. Shayla sits on the balcony, staring at the ocean, drink in hand. Anthony walks out of the bedroom, shirtless, with a smirk on his face and trouble in his eyes.
Anthony:
(Stretching and walking toward her)
You’ve been quiet ever since we landed. Regret starting to creep in?
Shayla:
(Not looking at him)
It’s not regret. It’s reality trying to slap me in the face. I left my sister back home thinking I was in Atlanta for a “girls’ retreat.” If she knew I was in Jamaica—with you…
Anthony:
(Interrupts, leaning on the balcony rail)
Then what? She’d blow up? Get dramatic? Let her. We’ve been hiding this for way too long, Shayla. You deserve to feel alive, even if just for a few days.
Shayla:
(Bitter laugh)
Alive? Is that what this is? Because all I feel is guilt and heat. And I can’t tell which one is stronger.
Anthony:
Heat. Definitely heat.
(Pauses, voice softens)
But Shayla… you’re not the villain here. You didn’t steal me. You never asked for this. You just… happened to be the one my heart chased—even when I tried to ignore it.
Shayla:
You really think saying that makes this any easier? Amber loves you. She brags about you like she found gold. You’re her everything.
Anthony:
Yeah, but what if she ain’t mine? What if everything I wanted is sitting right in front of me—in that sundress, sipping coconut rum, trying to act like she doesn’t feel the same fire I do?
Shayla:
(Turning toward him, eyes wide)
You really don’t care, do you? About what this could do to her?
Anthony:
I care. I do. But I also care about what this silence is doing to us. You ever stop and ask yourself why we ended up here? Alone. Together. In paradise?
Shayla:
Because we’re selfish?
Anthony:
Nah. Because the truth always finds a way to show up, no matter how hard you try to bury it. This… you and me… it ain’t just lust. It's something deeper. And we both feel it.
(They stare at each other. The sun begins to set, casting golden light across the balcony.)
Shayla:
I dreamed about this moment so many times. Being with you without having to look over my shoulder. But now that I’m here… it’s scary.
Anthony:
What’s scarier—loving me, or lying to her?
Shayla:
Both. But I’ve been lying to myself for longer than I’ve lied to Amber.
Anthony:
Then stop. Just for tonight. Let yourself be real. Be mine.
Shayla:
(Whispers)
I’m scared of what being yours means for my soul.
Anthony:
Then let your soul burn a little. Sometimes that’s the only way it knows it’s alive.
