Locked Out – Kenna James, Veronica Weston

Kenna James, wearing only a towel, receives a call just as she’s about to get into the shower. Whoever’s calling, it had better be good, she says to herself. She picks up the phone, saying hello. She listens for a moment.

‘You know, you have a lot of nerve calling here after the way you broke up with me,’ Kenna says angrily into the phone. Whatever…those just sound like a bunch of excuses to her, Kenna continues speaking to the unseen caller. So what does she want anyway? Kenna asks, annoyed. She listens to the caller’s response.

Her gold necklace?! Kenna asks incredulously. ‘So let me get this straight: you didn’t call to apologize or even check up on me, you called to ask me if I have your stupid necklace?!’ Kenna asks as she looks around, noticing the necklace somewhere nearby. She grabs the necklace and opens her back door. She steps out onto the porch and throws the necklace into her backyard. She closes the door sharply, looking smug and satisfied.

As the back door closes behind her, her towel remains around her but the edge gets caught in the closed door. Annoyed, she tries to pull it free, but to no avail. It becomes clear to Kenna that she can’t open the door because her towel is stuck in the lock. With growing alarm, she realizes that she also can’t go anywhere WITH the towel, since it’s not budging from the door. Comprehending the implications of this, her face crumbles with dread. Ooooh, this is just PERFECT, she grumbles to herself. Well, what choice does she have? she asks herself aloud. Ok, just a short little run to the front of the neighbor’s house, get in there, borrow some clothes, call a locksmith, and she’ll be good to go, Kenna says aloud, psyching herself up.

Nude, she runs to the front of her neighbor’s house, desperately trying to cover herself. Breathing heavily, Kenna knocks on her neighbor’s door. A moment later, her neighbor, Veronica Weston answers the door and invites her in, flustered then bemused by the situation.

They sit down on the couch together. Much to Kenna’s shock, Veronica takes off her robe and offers it to Kenna, who can’t help but stare at Veronica’s naked body. They chat and bond as they realize that they have both recently been through bad break-ups.

So how…how did Veronica get over her ex? Kenna asks delicately. She hasn’t TOTALLY gotten over her yet, but her friends keep telling her that the only way to really move past her is to…be with someone else, Veronica says. Yeah, she’s…heard that too, Kenna says. And…HAS Kenna been with anyone since her breakup? asks Veronica, eyeing Kenna suggestively. No, she hasn’t, Kenna responds, her eyes shining with desire as she looks back at Veronica. And…why is that? Veronica asks softly, moving even closer to Kenna on the couch. Well, she guesses that she just hasn’t met anyone she’s attracted to…yet, Kenna says pointedly, licking her lips as she gazes at Veronica. YET? Veronica asks cheekily, leaning in to kiss Kenna.

Even though Kenna got locked out, looks like it’s her lucky day!
