Ten Lies Courtney Told Duncan
"Ugh, you stink!" / "I really wish you'd go away." / "I hate you." / And the lies just keep piling up.
Chapter Four: "You Have No Idea How To Treat A Woman."
He had this way of talking to her.
It had always been obvious to Courtney- that Duncan was a player. He was one of those guys who would sweet talk you one minute and be sharing spit with another girl the next. It wasn't that he boasted about it… it was just the way he came off as. His direction toward all girls was the same. He used the same lines, same pattern, the same game, as though they were all the same person.
She guessed that he could argue that most of the girls he flirted with had no true personality. Well, yeah, they had one, but it was so ordinary and paper thin it wasn't even a challenge anymore. Why he would enjoy repeating the same things over and over again was beyond her.
Which happened to be why she was so surprised when he started talking to her like that. "Sweetheart, we've got to be together, some way, somehow. You're too pretty to be so damn difficult." To tell you the truth, that talk usually got most girls. Duncan was a man of words. He had a certain way of weaving them just right, to fabricate a lie so perfect and so over-used and yet all of the women thought the words were so unique, as though they had been made just for them-
"Get the hell away from me." Except for her.
Of course, he was a bit dumbfounded at some points. He tried to give up on her, but each time he would ask her out, each time he would make a proposition that they should hook up, each time he tried to even wink her way, she would just say the same thing. "You have no idea how to treat a woman."
What type of bullshit was that? Duncan knew exactly how to treat a lady. You took her out for a nice date, said some nice words, shared a nice kiss, and then had some really, really good sex.
…Okay, even he himself knew that wasn't right, although that's what he did all the time. He knew how to treat a woman… he just didn't really like to treat them the right way when all they wanted was wrong. Duncan didn't try to lie to himself- all the girls who looked his way were the ones who were looking for someone to show off to their friends, to piss off their parents, to get some good old rough loving from. Duncan wasn't anymore to them than a week of fun. He knew every time a girl looked at him, the last word she was thinking of was a relationship, or anything else permanent for that matter.
So he gave them what they wanted. A one night stand, a couple of dates, a simple kiss to talk about with their friends. It didn't hurt either party that much. It just made him a bit more angry. But he didn't like to think about that.
But Courtney… Courtney was different. "I may not know how to treat a woman," He began, pulling her towards him and pushing their bodies up against each other. "But I'm pretty sure I can figure out some way to treat you, sunshine."
After a few deep breaths and one hard kick in the shin, she smirked. "Pick me up at five."
Authors Note:
This lie really sounds like something Courtney would say, with like her hands on her hips and all,
"Boy, you have no idea how to treat a woman!" *cue head-roll*
Heh.
