Title: "Gravity"
Setting: A cozy rooftop terrace in New York City, adorned with fairy lights. The sun is setting, casting a golden hue over the skyline.
INT. ROOFTOP TERRACE - SUNSET
(ZENDAYA and TOM are sitting on a blanket, surrounded by snacks and a portable speaker playing soft music. They’re laughing and enjoying each other’s company.)
TOM (leaning back on his elbows, gazing at the sky) You know, it’s moments like this that make me feel like we’re in our own little universe.
ZENDAYA (smiling, propping her head on her hand) Yeah? You think we can get away with floating up here forever?
TOM Absolutely. I’d take you up to the stars if I could. No one else but us, just floating around.
(Zendaya laughs, playfully nudging him.)
ZENDAYA And what would we do up there? Nothing but float and stare?
TOM (grinning) Well, I could tell you how amazing you are. How your laughter sounds like music to my ears.
ZENDAYA (blushing) You’re such a charmer, Holland.
TOM (turning serious, looking into her eyes) But I mean it. Being with you feels… different. Like gravity just doesn’t apply.
(Zendaya’s expression softens as she looks back at him.)
ZENDAYA You know, sometimes I forget how the world feels different when I’m with you. It’s like… everything just clicks.
(TOM sits up, moving closer to her, their knees almost touching.)
TOM Exactly. It’s like we’re in sync, even when we’re not saying anything.
(He reaches out, gently brushing a strand of hair behind her ear.)
ZENDAYA (holding his gaze) And it’s not just the quiet moments. It’s the chaotic ones too - the laughter, the silly dances.
TOM (laughs) Especially the silly dances.
(He mimics one of their silly dance moves, making her giggle.)
ZENDAYA (playfully swats his arm) Okay, maybe we’ll save that for later. But seriously… I wouldn't trade this for anything.
(A moment of silence as they share a warm gaze, the world around them fading away.)
TOM (softly) You’re my favorite person, Zendaya.
(ZENDAYA looks touched.)
ZENDAYA And you’re mine. Always.
(They share a meaningful smile as the music shifts to a slower tune. TOM takes a deep breath.)
TOM Can I ask you something?
ZENDAYA Anything.
TOM (after a pause, with sincerity) What if we really did escape? Just you and me, somewhere we can stay in our own orbit… forever.
(ZENDAYA bites her lip, considering.)
ZENDAYA (after a moment) I think I’d like that… but I don’t want to rush anything.
TOM (nodding) Of course. Just knowing we’re on this journey together is enough for me.
(They share a tender moment, the city lights beginning to twinkle as night falls.)
ZENDAYA (smiling) Just you, me, and our little universe.
(They lean in closer, foreheads touching, wrapped up in each other’s warmth as the camera pulls away, revealing the beautiful New York skyline.)
FADE OUT.
THE END.
