Bottom (Oberon Modern Plays) Page 4


  WILLY tries to reach the laptop with his legs, but can’t move as his arm is still around the guy.

  I don’t want to wake him and cause him any more hassle so I just leave it there playing.

  The weight of his body leaning on mine feels nice. I feel like I’m looking after him or something. Like he should feel safe with me.

  WILLY carefully edges his arm out from behind the guy, so as not to disturb him. He reaches behind the block to pick up the ukulele.

  Top or Bottom (You Didn’t Ask Me)

  You messaged me on Tinder

  I thought you had kind eyes

  You messaged me quite quickly

  And it took me by surprise

  You asked me what I was up to

  I said I was drinking tea

  I waited for the question…

  But you didn’t ask me

  You didn’t ask me

  Top or Bottom?

  You didn’t ask me

  Top or Bottom?

  You didn’t ask me

  Top, or Bottom

  If you don’t mind holding on

  I think I’d rather just sit

  get to know you a bit instead

  Of this complicated shit

  Tell me where you’re from?

  What’s your story?

  What makes you laugh?

  What do you want to be?

  Cos you didn’t ask me

  Top or Bottom?

  You didn’t ask me

  Top or Bottom?

  You didn’t ask me

  Top, or Bottom

  Will you fill me with fire

  All the bubbly feelings

  Will you be patient

  cos I might need healing

  I can give you warm hugs

  And I can kind of cook

  We could stay up talking

  Or maybe read a book

  There’s a million things to find out

  Before we go to bed

  A million things to find out

  Before you ask me –

  There’s a million things to find out

  Before we go to bed

  A million things to find out

  Before you ask me –

  There’s a million things to find out

  Before we go to bed

  A million things to find out

  Before you ask me –

  Top or Bottom?

  Top or Bottom?

  Cus you didn’t ask me

  Phones dings.

  Please tell me that’s him.

  LUCY:

  Yeah it is.

  Blackout.
