Just Wright Page #4

Synopsis: Leslie Wright is a straight-shooting physical therapist who gets the gig of a lifetime working with NBA All-Star Scott McKnight. All is going well until Leslie finds herself falling for Scott, forcing her to choose between the gig and the tug-of-war inside her heart. Oblivious to her romantic overtures, McKnight is instead drawn to the affections of Leslie's childhood friend Morgan, who has her sights set on being an NBA trophy wife. Is Leslie destined to play the role of "best friend" forever or will Scott finally see that what he always wanted is right in front of him?

I pull chairs out.

I try to open... What's up with...

Just lift it and pull.

There you go. She's kind of old.

- Good night.

- Good night.

- Oh, my God.

- You know what?

You got plans Saturday night?

Girl, I did not expect

to be out all night,

but after the Warwick,

we got invited to this after-hours,

and Q-Tip was DJ-ing

and then we went to this breakfast spot,

but you know I don't eat in public,

so I am starving.

So, you and your girls make any progress

getting into Scott McKnight's party?

I wish.

Saturday night, I'll be right here with you,

putting on a second coat.

- That's too bad.

- Too bad?

Because if you're at this house,

then you won't be at this house!

- ls this...

- Yes!

- Yes! At Scott McKnight's party!

- What?

- I got the hook-up.

- How? How?

Scott personally invited me.

Okay, since when do you know

Scott McKnight?

Since last night at the gas station.

Okay, boom,

first of all, he's on the phone.

He's beefing with somebody

about this charity event

and how they better get it right

for the kids.

Meanwhile, he's so distracted,

he can't even open up the gas tank.

Until I hooked him up.

So, what was he like?

I mean, look, he was different

than I thought he would be.

He was... He was cool.

You know, he was... He was nice,

he was beyond nice. He was a gentleman.

I mean, like a real sweetie-pie.

You're not feeling this dude, are you?

Girl, you crazy.

I don't do ball players. I like regular guys.

Oh, my God, I gotta figure out

what outfit I'm gonna wear.

Leslie, you're the best.

Okay, keep your eyes closed, there you go.

There, finished.

- Yeah. Damn.

- Right?

Didn't I tell you this color

would look fabulous on you?

Nice going.

- Oh, but you need more blush.

- You do.

- Ma, I don't need any more...

- Yes, you do. Yes.

- Mom, I do not need any more blush.

- Listen to your mother.

You are going to find a husband tonight.

- Okay, that does look nice.

- Yes, it does.

Baby, I bagged your father 36 years ago,

and he still can't believe his luck.

Okay.

Oh, oh. Oh.

I have a surprise.

- Are those...

- Your grandmother's diamond earrings.

She wore them the night

she met your grandfather,

and I wore them the night

I met your father.

They're beautiful, Aunt J.

They are more than beautiful.

These are better than a full moon.

You wear these

and men will be falling at your feet.

Now, Leslie, I know that

you don't like this flashy style,

but I do want one of you

to wear these tonight.

Me?

Really? Oh, my God.

- Really?

- Yes.

Okay.

What do you think?

- I think I'm gonna go get dressed.

- Well, make sure you wear a dress.

Listen,

it's all about the law of attraction.
