(This is the outline of a short story I started writing. It stayed at the outline stage.)
[Night time. Inside of a car. Camera is out of focus. Slowly starts focusing on Her sitting on the passenger side. As it comes into focus, the first focus falls on the window by Her side. Droplets of rain. It stopped raining a while ago. Blurred lights mark the background. There's a silence in the car, broken by the sound of quick breathing. Camera cuts to view of the road in the front from His perspective. Starts drizzling again. Windshield wipers come on. Accompanied by sound of wipers but not of rain. Camera cuts back to alternating between them. Both have slight smiles. Camera focuses on Him as he takes her hand in his and she lays her palm flat against his.]
Him (Smiling)
What? You're going to measure your hands every time?
Her(Shaking her head, smiling)
I just like it.
[He carries Her hand to his mouth and kisses it.]
Her (Sighing)
You're tempting me. I'm already finding it difficult not to distract you from your driving.
[Camera focuses on Her face. She is looking towards the camera but not at it. Camera cuts from Her to Him at similar angles. As the car nears a dark stretch, he slows down, pulling to the side of the road. Camera focuses on his face from the side, Her face seen in the background. Water running off the window glass on Her side can be seen out of focus.]
Him(Smiling, almost in delight)
Quick kiss!
(She leans across Her seat, snuggles in to him and buries Her face in his shoulder. He holds Her chin and lifts her face, and with her lower lip between his, kisses her)
Her(Moans softly)
[Camera cuts to the road in front as he drives, pans across to Her hand still nestled in His.]
Him (Looking sideways at Her)
So, where are we going?
Her(Stroking his arm)Wherever!
Him (Still looking at her)
Hmmm...
[Camera pulls back to show the road in front from his perspective and then cuts to the back of Her head, following the movements of Her head as she turns to look down the side roads]
Her(Disappointment in Her voice)
These roads are all so well lit.
Him(Turning to Her)
Is the road to the river open?
Her(Turning in Her seat so that she is facing him)
No, they closed it some time ago.
[Camera cuts from the road to Her face and back again a couple of times, finally focusing on Her parted lips. The quick sound of Her breathing fills the car]Him(Pulling to the side of the now dark and deserted main road)Let's park here for a while.[Camera cuts to front of car from his perspective, blurred sodium vapour lamps in the distance, under which, are parked some trucks. Camera focuses on his face and follows the direction of his glance as he lifts his hand to adjust the rear-view mirror. As he reaches to pull Her closer, the camera pulls back, outside the car. Movements are visible through the misted windows but not clearly. The sound of the drizzle is audible. The camera picks up two blurred figures walking towards the car and quickly cuts in to the interior of the car first picking up only him.]
Him (In an urgent voice)
Stay down and don't move.
[The camera focuses on Her, lying back on the seat, which is now horizontal. Her clothes are in disarray; the camera focuses on his hand as he continues to caress Her. As the camera pulls back to a distance outside the car again, it stays focused on the movement of his hand as his strokes get faster. Her moans of pleasure become louder and as the camera retreats, it picks up he two figures disappearing in the distance. As the camera pans the road, movements inside the car are visible. The rain has stopped and the camera fixes on the windshield. The blurred figures in the car have exchanged positions, and she is now sitting up while he has lowered his seat. As the camera pans the road once again and returns to the car, it zooms in quickly to focus on the back of Her head as she bends over his lap. As the slow drizzle starts up again, both figures in the car move back to sitting positions and the camera moves back in to its original position in the car.]
Him(Sitting up straight suddenly)
Oh shit! cops!
[Camera follows Her head movement as she looks outside the window and then focuses on a jeep that has stopped in the middle of the road. There are cops out on the road and the jeep takes a U-turn and stops a little distance behind the car. Camera cuts to two cops walking up to the car. Camera focuses on the driver's door as it opens.]
Him (Getting out of the car)
You stay here.
[Camera focuses on the window next to Her as she sits up straight. A cop's face appears at the window]
Cop(Smirking)
What was going on here?
Her(Trying to keep calm)
Nothing, we were just talking.
[Camera cuts to Him standing on the road talking to the cops. Snatches of conversation can be heard. 'Just talking' Camera cuts to the car again.]
Cop(To Her)
Married?
Her (Shrugging)
No
Cop(Still smirking, gesturing to Him)
Is he?
Her(Puzzled)
No.
[Camera cuts again to him standing on the road talking to the cops. Camera alternates between Her face and his, between the car and the road]
Cop(With a pad and pen in his hand, addresses Her)
Your name & address?
Her(Now really scared, looks at Him)
Him(Quietly)
Give them your name and address.
Cop(As he writes it down)
Who do you stay with?
Her(Managing not to sound too scared)
My parents.
Cop(Sternly)
Don't they care about you? Why are they letting you go out so late at night? Who is this man you're out with?
Her(Now much more calm)
He's a friend. And my parents know I'm with him.
[Camera cuts to him standing on the road talking to the cops. Snatches of conversation can be heard. 'Station'… 'Newspapers….' Camera cuts to the car again.]
Cop(Still stern)
We'll have to call and ask someone from your home to come and pick you up. This is a wrong situation, no?
Her(Still calm)
We were just talking.
Cop(Laughing to other cop)
Just talking!
(To Her)
So who shall we call from your home?
Her(Quietly)
There's only my father and he's old. He won't be able to come.
Cop(To other cop)
Only old parents at home and look at what she does. These educated types are the worst. They think they can be modern and do anything.
[Camera cuts to Him standing on the road talking to the cops. Snatches of conversation can be heard. 'No, there's no one from her home who can come'. Camera moves between the car and the group talking on the road. It follows Him as he walks away from the group to the car, followed by two cops. Camera moves to inside of the car and focuses on Him as he reaches in and takes out a couple of notes and gives it to the cop]
Cop(Peering into the car)
You better leave immediately. Take her straight home before the next patrol catches you.
[Camera cuts from his face to hers]
Him(Slides into the driver's seat and starts the car and pulls out of there)
Whew! A couple of thousand bucks.
Her(Laughing lightly, trying to cover her fright)
Are they behind us?
Him(Relaxed)
No, they've gone.
[Camera moves to the back of the car, pulls out to show the front of the road, as both of them lean back into their own seats and they drive silently. Camera focuses on her as she slips her hand into his, laying her palm flat against his.]
Him(Smiling at her)
Measuring?
Her(Smiling)
It fits.
[Camera focuses on Her. She smiles as he lifts her hand to his lips.]
Him(Still smiling)
Perfectly.
[Camera pulls out slowly, till it’s outside the car. Camera focuses on the rear of car as it recedes into the distance.]
