Afterthoughts ~ Pretty Woman
By: Isa
"I guess it's the night of the Lonely Hearts Club Meeting, huh?"
Jen looked up and saw Pacey standing before her. He plopped down on the bench next to her and sighed. "Aren't you up a little late past your bedtime?"
"Go to hell Pacey."
He put his hand to his heart as though he were hurt. "Ouch, that hurts. I sense sexual hostitility."
"I sense immaturity." She folded her arms across her chest and turned away from him.
"I thought you'd be home, tucked into your bed, reading a trashy novel by now."
She reached into her bag and pulled out a Harlequinn Romance book. "Moonlight is good for your eyes. I came out here to read tonight."
More like daydream about Dawson, he thought. "I can't believe your grandmother let you out of the house. It's like one am."
"Actually, I snuck out." Her face was sour and she looked like hell.
"I see there's a big pity party goin' on here. No wonder you didn't wanna miss it."
"Don't you have someplace to be? Don't your parents care where you are?"
"Not at all. I can hang out here as long as I want."
"Lucky me." she brushed her hair out of her eyes.
"So what's the occasion for this festive little get-together?"
"Pacey, can't you ever just be quiet?"
"Ah, I get it. Mr. Leery's rejection has driven you straight into bitch-mode."
"No comment."
"He's not gonna come crawlin' back Jen. You know that."
"How do I know that? Lightning can strike."
"Come on." he stood up and threw his arms in the air. "Number one; you dumped the guy flat after he fell head over heels in lust for you. Number two; after the breakup, you continued to waltz around the guy dressed like that." he pointed at her chest. She was wearing a skin-tight low cut red tee shirt and jeans.
"Like what?"
"Like that. Like a little sexpot."
"I do not--"
"You have issues with facing reality, don't you?"
"You know what Pacey? You can--"
"You're so stuck on yourself and your perfect New York attitude. You think you can just smile or bat your eyelashes and have whatever you want? Well, I've got news for you missy. You're not gonna get Dawson Leery."
Jen just sat there, speechless.
Pacey started to walk away. "The truth hurts, huh?"
Jen continued to sit, not knowing what to do or say. She made up her mind at that very minute to get Dawson back. Whatever it takes.
