INT. ROBERT'S LIVING ROOM - EVENING
The living room is filled with laughter and excitement as Robert, J, and Max prepare for their summer sleepover. Snacks and blankets are scattered around, creating a cozy atmosphere.
ROBERT
(grinning)
I can't believe it's finally summer vacation! This sleepover is going to be epic.
MAX
(excitedly)
Absolutely! We have the whole night to ourselves. Let's make the most of it.
J
(nervously)
I'm really looking forward to it too.
INT. J'S HOUSE - FRONT DOOR - EVENING
J steps out of her house, a bag of overnight essentials in hand. She glances at Robert's house next door, a realization dawning on her.
J
(surprised)
Wait a minute... Robert's house is right next to mine?
J chuckles to herself, feeling a mix of excitement and nervousness.
INT. ROBERT'S BEDROOM - NIGHT
The sleepover is in full swing. Robert, J, and Max are gathered in Robert's room, sharing stories and playing games.
J
(whispering to Robert)
Hey, can I talk to you alone for a moment?
Robert nods, curious about what J wants to discuss. They quietly slip out of the room and into the hallway.
INT. ROBERT'S HALLWAY - NIGHT
J takes a deep breath, gathering her courage.
J
(softly)
Robert, there's something I need to tell you. I've been feeling this way for a while now, and I can't keep it to myself any longer.
Robert looks at J, his heart pounding with anticipation.
ROBERT
(gently)
What is it, J?
J takes a step closer, their eyes locked.
J
(nervously)
I... I have feelings for you, Robert. More than just friendship. I don't know how you feel, but I had to let you know.
Robert's eyes widen, a mix of surprise and joy washing over him.
ROBERT
(smiling)
J, I feel the same way. I've been falling for you too.
In that moment, their hearts align, and they lean in, sharing a tender kiss.
INT. ROBERT'S STAIRCASE - NIGHT
Lost in the bliss of their kiss, Robert and J accidentally lose their balance and stumble down the stairs, their laughter filling the air.
MAX
(rushing over)
Whoa, are you guys okay?
Robert and J untangle themselves, their faces flushed with embarrassment.
ROBERT
(stammering)
Yeah, we're fine, just a little clumsy.
J
(nervously)
Sorry about that, Max. We got carried away.
MAX
(teasingly)
Well, it seems like you two were really caught up in the moment. Are you sure you're okay?
Robert and J exchange shy glances, their blushes deepening.
ROBERT
(awkwardly)
Yeah, we're fine. Just a little... tangled up.
MAX
(grinning)
Well, I'll leave you two to untangle yourselves then. Let's get back to the sleepover, shall we?
INT. ROBERT'S LIVING ROOM - NIGHT
Robert and J rejoin Max in the living room, trying to hide their embarrassment. Laughter and conversation fill the room as they continue their sleepover, cherishing the newfound connection between them.
