A LOVER’S DREAM

ACT ONE

SCENE 1

Enter Jane, Jenna, Emily, Catherine and Bella to their mansion on the river. They walk into the living room and sit down on the couches while relaxing. A butler brings them glasses of water, gives it to them and then leaves.

BELLA

What a wonderful day to be out and about. So full of adventure now, aren't we ladies?

JANE

That is so Bella.

JENNA

A delightful, cheery day that is.

BELLA

It's dark and rainy out though, my dear.

JENNA

I meant in my heart.

CATHERINE

My heart was meant for you, Bella.

EMILY

The heart was meant to love and be loved in return.

BELLA

My heart's love is strong.

JENNA

The heart is a beautiful wonder.

JANE

The heart is a wonder to explore and be explored.

BELLA

I don't know why you ladies will not listen to me. I have your best interests in mind. You are selfish. That's a problem. It wouldn't be a problem, if you were selfish with my love.

JANE

And you're being arrogant and all knowing.

EMILY

We are already arguing.

BELLA

You know I am right about this though. If you could just behave yourself and act classy.

JANE

Why do you always have to have the ideal or perfection?

BELLA

Because it is what I want and more along the lines of what I need.

EMILY

You don't always get what you need or want.

BELLA

Yes. I do. Somethings, I just don't need or want anymore. They make themselves not wanted or useless anymore.

EMILY

That is so? That must feel a bit bad. How about the one that you loved and now don't love? Not that you don’t love them now, because I am sure you do?

JANE

You get the love that you deserve and you don't get the love that you don't deserve.

JENNA

Are you saying that I don't deserve you?

BELLA

I am only implying that.

JANE

That's a little rude. Wouldn't you think?

BELLA

Not at all. Earn it. Deserve it.

EMILY

Unfortunately, most of what you are saying is true.

BELLA

If you lack passion, then you'll never get anywhere. You will miss out on life. Passion is what makes you ambitious and not lazy. You won't find passion in another lover. You'll only ever find passion or truly love me.

EMILY

You are making it really hard to trust you. Trust isn't learned nor given. It is earned by the worthiness of your character and who you are.

BELLA

Go on. Keep doing what you are doing. You will only wind up breaking your own heart. You will only have yourself to blame.

JANE

So, now you know what is best for us? That is arrogant.

BELLA

Yes. Well. While, I do love you. Ask yourself, why that is. It would mean that you are not lovable and you, yourself caused that. Not everybody is lovable.

JANE

Yes. I would agree with that.

BELLA

I want both your mind and your body. Not just your body. As that is not love without both. Just like I have to find passion in us. Without passion in the relationship, you don't have one. You are stagnating. Most people don't. The sparks of passion should always be kept alive. You are doomed for failure without passion. Nobody else has what we do. And those that can see it, want it. Who makes you laugh the most and smile? Me. Who do you get excited to see? Me. Even if you make
