Later that night, at the docks............
( Lucky and Liz stand together, look up the stars above. Lucky looks over to Liz, sees that she has her arms around herslef, takes off his jacket, puts it around Liz. Liz Looks at him, smiles.....)
Liz: Thanks......Lucky, this has been the best night of my life.
Lucky: I am glad to hear that. I wanted this to be perfect.
Liz: Oh, Lucky, it is perfect......(hesitates for a moment) Every moment we spent together has been perfect. You have been everything anyone could ask for in .....a friend.......
Lucky: (Looking right into Liz's eyes) Elizabeth.....do you want to talk about what happened tonight?
Liz: You mean what almost happened.....at the dance? (She lowers her eyelids)
Lucky: Yes....I tried to talk to you but you said you needed to go to the ladies room, and then you said that it was getting too crowded......If you don't want to talk about it, we won't.
Liz: (silent for a moment) Lucky.....I have wondered many times that....(Looking up at Lucky) that maybe spending so much time with me has kept you from other things. Things that you want to do, maybe with someone other than me? I mean....(she looks away) You are a teenager, and teenagers have different friends.....they have dates....girlfriends.....I would really hate it if I am keeping from all those things.
Lucky: What are you talking about , Elizabeth? (He looks at her even though she tries to avoid his eyes) Elizabeth, look at me. Please? (Liz finally turns to look at him) I can't think of anyone else I would rather spend my time with other than you. You know that, don't you? I wouldn't be here if I didn't want to be here. You should know that about me by now. (stops for a moment) AND I wouldn't start to kiss anyone if I didn't want to.
Liz: You did once...because I asked you....remember?
Lucky: And I told you it wasn't just because you asked me to, I told you that I had wanted to kiss you a hundred times, remember?(Stops, hesitates for a moment) And that statement is still true to this day.
Liz: (puts her hands over her mouth) Lucky......what are you trying to say?
Lucky: I am trying to say that I don't want to be with anyone else. I am trying to say that....that I don't want to go on any dates or have any girlfriend......Just you. (takes a breath, looking into Liz's eyes)I am trying to say that you are the only one for me, Elizabeth. I didn't want to tell you anything because I didn't want to scare you. But I am not going to let you think that you are keeping me from having girlfriends. I am keeping myself from having girlfriends. I am waiting for you to be ready.
Liz: (tears in her eyes) Oh, god, Lucky.......I can't believe I am hearing you say this...I can't believe it......I was afraid that I am just a friend to you....and that I don't deserve to dream that there would be something more......
Lucky: (Holding on to Liz'a shoulders, looking at her) Elizabeth, you are in my soul. There can be noone else.
Liz: Lucky...You ARE my soul......I can't imagine what would have happened if you are not in my life. I was so scared when I started to realize that you are more than a shoulder to cry on, that I wouldn't be able to handle it if you were with anyone else....that....I can still feel wanting to be close to someone after everything.....I was scared....Lucky.
Lucky: (Pulling her in, holding on to her tightly) I Know, I know, Elizabeth....(tears down both of their cheeks)
Liz: Lucky........Kis...
(her words get cut off by Lucky. He takes her face in his hands, leans down, their eyes meet, their lips bruched lightly together, Liz rests her hands on Lucky's chest, Lucky hesitates for a second, Liz wraps her hands around Lucky's neck,They both close their eyes, embrace in the kiss so deeply, they hold on for dear life...........)
TO BE CONTINUED..........
