Wedding-Day Confession, Scene #01

Gracie Jane looks radiant as she gets ready for her wedding to Andre Stone. Her best friend King Noire, who is her ‘man of honor’ (fulfilling the same role as a ‘maid of honor’ ), then enters the room and compliments Gracie’s beauty. King seems oddly nervous and jittery, even though he’s not the one getting married. Gracie is curious and concerned as she asks what’s going on. King says he has a confession… he thinks Gracie is making a mistake. Gracie is shocked and a little offended, asking what he means by that.King takes a deep breath and admits that he’s developed feelings for Gracie, so he’s hoping she’ll change her mind about marrying Andre. Gracie is shocked and conflicted as the weight of his confession hits her, admitting that if she had known this earlier maybe things would be different. She admits that she’s always been drawn to King but that she never said anything because she wasn’t sure that King would be open to being with a trans woman — plus she didn’t want to risk their friendship. But now that she’s about to marry Andre, King’s timing couldn’t be worse!King sees his chance and insists that the timing is PERFECT. Gracie isn’t married yet, so here’s their chance to see if there could be something more between them. Gracie is conflicted, not wanting to be some kind of cruel experiment, but King insists that he cares deeply for Gracie and would NEVER hurt her like that. King begs Gracie to reconsider the marriage — maybe if she saw just how serious King is about her, then she’d change her mind. Frustrated, Gracie challenges King, asking HOW he’s supposed to PROVE that he’s serious about all this? King boldly kisses her. Caught up in the passion and heat of the moment, Gracie returns the kiss.
