Strangers at the Station - scene 2

(In the sleeper compartment of a moving train)

Jake - Can I ask you a personal question?

William - Yes. Fire away. If I get laid in St. Louis, I'm sure it will get a lot more personal.

J - Are you married?

W - Yes. Does it matter?

J - I mean. Maybe not tonight. But whether I let myself carry on. Yeah maybe. You have kids? I don't want to fall in love & get hurt. Not too bad.

W - Jake. Listen to me. I'm gay. I've been faking it forever. I'm exhausted. I got 5. And 2 grandkids. It's been a long time since I made love to my wife. Longer since I stopped loving her.  Jacob. Listen to me. I want to fall in love if only for a couple hours. If only for a couple weeks. I lied about no deadline. I must be in San Fran by Christmas.

J - I see. You'll be my family for a couple weeks. I mean. The one I choose. And I'll be your second family. A vacation romance. A fling to remember. A flame to let fade out. Broken hearts might as well play.

W - Jake. You are a poet.

J - Not usually. That damn tobacco.

W - No. It's me. We're not strangers anymore. We kissed. Boy did we! Ask me another personal question. I'm so turned on. Every secret I tell you.... I don't know.

J - I feel you. I believe you. I trust you. I don't know why either. I'm starving for your touch.  We already said enough. Oh. I'm single. No wife or kids. I'm looking for my own family.

W - This train is noisy. It vibrates. My knees are weak. Kiss me like this is our wedding night. Like I'm the family you chose. As if I'm divorced. And now you're my first family.

J - Now I'm weak in the knees. We better lie down before we fall down. Let me lift you into this bed. Okay. Give me your hand.

W - Finally. In the sack.

(They kiss & kiss. The lips. The face. The neck. The wrist. Jake is on top. He unbuttons William's shirt. Unhooks his belt. Unbuttons his trousers. They kiss again. Jake pulls off his shirt as William unsnaps his pants. Jake advances on his knees as William's legs lift higher in the air. 

Jake stares into William's face as he pulls off the trousers. Goes in for another sloppy kiss. Jake pulls off his own pants. Finds himself back in position. He pulls William's underwear down. Or up in this case.

Jake's body presses a-top William. Crotch & bottom fit like hand in glove. Love is felt with each thrust. Slow & fast. Slow & fast.  Not just smiles & grins. Also laughs & giggles. William's face winces & expresses ecstasy alternately. Jake's breath is fast & heavy. He tries to whisper into the ear of William.)

J - I'm glad I met you. My wedding night is now. My love will grow & grow. Don't let go. Yeah! Unh! Ugh! Whew!

W - Jake. I do. I will marry you. I want to be your family. A real family. It's been so long. If just for tonight. Hold me tight.

J - I won't let go. I will guard your body like you will break my heart. To feel like I just felt, I would suffer a thousand heartbreaks.

W - What the? You sure you're not a poet?

J - You sure you're not my muse? Will you be able to say goodbye?

W - I want to fall in love. 

J - Are you falling in love with me?

W - Yes. That was really good. I want more.

J - You stay close to me. Seriously. You'll be safer. Nobody's gonna believe you're married if they already think you're gay.

W - You want to protect me already like family. And I wanted to fall in love 

J - So we're on the same page. Let me kiss you all night. Let me hold you as we go over noisy & bumpy rails. And make love in the morning. And every day until you must leave.

W - I'm glad I took a chance on a lonely stranger in an empty rail station. 

J - Me too. We're not strangers anymore.
