Noah's Arc: Jumping the Broom Page #6

Synopsis: Noah, Alex, Ricky, Chance and their significant others travel to Martha's Vineyard for a weekend wedding getaway. Drama ensues as one-by-one their relationships start to crack under the pressure of closer examination. Newly successful screenwriter Noah looks to his friends for advice as he prepares to move his relationship to a more serious level while struggling to keep his first studio movie alive. But the friends are of little help as they juggle their own issues. Elder statesmen Chance and Eddie attempt to scratch their seven-year itch but worry their marriage has permanently lost its spark. And playboy Ricky flaunts his barely legal college student fling in the face of his monogamous friends but hides a surprising secret that threatens to rock the house. Add to the mix Alex's crazy-making wedding prep, a closeted superstar rapper, a high-maintenance studio exec, and a surprise visitor and you've got the makings of a hilarious and poignant romantic comedy.

And I know otherwise.

You love Wade.

Thank you.

So what you waiting for?

Sorry.

I'm sorry too.

You know, nothing happened.

Only a drunken kiss.

The same with Baby Gat.

Less than a kiss.

Are we doing the right thing?

Are we taking it ...

... seriously enough?

"Until death do us part?

"Forgetting all others?

We can only try, Wade.

But I want to try.

Really.

Do you?

Sure.

Going to change.

I have to save three more relations before it reaches the minister.

Show me the path.

Where's the cream?

I got your cream.

Shut up.

Sorry about last night.

It may take time ...

... but he always does right at the end.

Come on.

Why would you do that for me?

For now ...

... you are also part of our family.

John R. Gordon

John R Gordon (born 1964) is a white gay writer and resident of Shepherds Bush, London, England, whose work - novels, plays, screenplays and biography - centers black characters and explores the complex, subtle and troubling intersections of race, sexuality and class.
