The Booty Call - A Very Short Screenplay

Opening: Night scene - Camera pans an upscale bedroom. It is neat and well decorated. Someone is in bed, alone, and fast asleep. An alarm clock on the night stand reads 1:15. There is no sound, and then a cellphone rings.
(Groggily) Hello?
Hi. It's me, what're you doing?
(not happy) I was sleeping. (Testily) What do you want.
Nothing, I was just thinking how much I miss you, wanting to hear your voice.
Yeah, I miss you too, but we've been through all this... I thought we agreed not to call each other.
Are you alone?
(Sigh) Why are you calling? Have you been drinking?
A little, I was out with the crew from work. It's what made me think of you, there were so many cute couples.
(Silence, then...) Remember, it was you who decided we should see other people.
Are you? Seeing other people?
I don't want to talk about it.
Can I come over and just cuddle?
THAT is definitely not a good idea.
(A loud pop is heard over her phone, then a fizz) What was that?
A bottle of Billecart Salmon Brut Rose. Am I drinking alone?
(short pause, then with a happy resignation) I'll be right there.
Just grab your robe and come outside. I'm on your front deck.
Billecart Salmon Brut Rose - Booty call!
