In the play ON TOP by John Patrick Bray, Bill supects that his girl friend, Janice has had an affair.  The supposed proof is the brown paper bag that he discovered in the garbage can in front of their house.  In the bag are two bottles of Coronas, scented candles (the candles were supposedly used to cover the scent of hot passionate sex) and cheese.  He confronts her at her job, a grocery store.  Of course she denies it all, but then gets caught when she gives too much information that the bag also had lemon peels in it.  Initially she confessed that she had bought the beers and drank them by herself.  But now she's done.  Bill knows that she doesn't like her Cornoas with lemon.  She prefers lime.  Well she confesses to everything.  She explains that Bill, since unemployed has been emotionally unavailable sexually and she had to take care of her business.  He's been depressed and hasn't given her any dick in a long time.  She's been climbing the walls and trying to reach out to him but he declines all of her advances.  So she said she had to take matters into her own hands.

Well Michael, the Big Bood at the Deli, had been bragging that he has the thing that makes all the girl go "Wow!"  So one day when the Big Bood showed up at her door with the two Coronas, a platter of cheese and big bludge in his jeans begging for attention, she had to take matters into her own hands.  She told Bill that it was nothing really.  She just got off.  Michael didn't get off.  She was completely in charge.  She pinned him down and whipped it out and got on top of his dick and got off.  She didn't kiss him or allow him to touch her.  And once she was finished climaxing she threw the Big Bood out without so much as a kiss goodbye.  Therefore, Bill should forgive her, because it was nothing really.  She loves him and only him and she wouldn't have had to go to such extreme measures if Bill had been available over the last several weeks.  Bill is speechless, but knows that he hasn't been living up to his lover duties and therefore he may be partly to blame for her stepping outside of their relationship for SEX. 

Well, what do you think?  What would you do if you were Bill and your lover said they had to get some from somebody else because you weren't giving them any? Would you forgive your lover?  I would love to hear your comments.  ON TOP was chosen as a play selection in the Riant Book Club (http://theriantbookclub.blogspot.com) and is published in The Best Plays From The Strawberry One-Act Festival:  Volume Two and is available at www.barnesandnoble.com, www.amazon.com and www.iUniverse.com or at the online store at www.therianttheatre.com.
