Part 32
She's Back
"You want me to do what? No way Witter. Stacey would not break down in public. You know that. I know you do. Jo said firmly.
"She's fictional Jo. She does whatever I-
"No, she doesn't. You know very well, she would find a good blues CD, pop it in, and lament her mistakes in her kitchen or bedroom with a mug of warm milk or chai. That is Stacey. Stacey would not freak out at him in a board room." Jo insisted.
Pacey looked floored. Maybe so, but this is how it is in the script Jo. This is how I want it," he challenged.
"You wanted it that way the last time too. It didn't happen then, and it sure as hell isn't ending up in the final cuts now." she stated firmly.
The crew watched in horror when I noticed Pacey's assistant smirking. I walked over unobtrusively. "What's so funny?"
"You know as well as I do Dawson. No one talks back to him like that and still has a job in the morning." With a fake pout she added, "And she was doing so well too."
I smiled carefully, "How are you with surprises?" I asked her.
She looked back at me, confused. "What's that supposed to mean?"
"Watch." I whisper softly.
"GOD Potter! Are you saying that if I don't do this you're gonna bail on me?"
"I never said I would bail on you Pace. I said you knew what would happen if you didn't do this."
He gaped at her.
"That's right Witter. I'm back. And if you go against Stacey just one more time, you're hooped."
I smiled, and clapped. "Excellent performance. Both of you!"
The both looked at me incredulously.
So did Andraia.
I turned to Joey. "Joey, hon, sweetie."
"Shut up Dawson."
I approached her. "We both know this project means to much to you to back out now."
She bit her lip and I saw her eyes dart to Pacey briefly. She nodded.
I turned to Pacey and spread my arms. "You know she's right Pace. Stacey is going to resolve it on her own, and tell Noah when it's time for him to know."
He looked at Jo, then me, shaking his head. "I can't believe I'm caving to an actor."
Not to an actor, you're caving to her, my friend.
He raised his hands in defeat. "Set the shot for Stacey's apartment!" he shouted to the crew. "And make sure that prom photo is under the clothes in the second drawer!" He looked at Jo carefully.
She smiled softly at him, and then turned to go to wardrobe.
I glanced at Andraia, who was gaping at us. Pacey turned to her. "I need a coffee. Lots of sugar. Thanks."
He turned back to me. "She's going to be the death of me D."
"She's also going to get you an Oscar - and you know it."
"I wasn't talking about the movie." He raked his fingers through his hair. "GOD!" he shouted, making his way to the apartment set.
I wish Jen could have seen this.
Part 33
He's mine... Some has been Broadway actress trying to market her self, as a movie star has no right to talk to Pacey that way. That Bitch. Who the hell does she think she is? She's an absolute bitch. No one talks to Pacey that way and gets away with it. How dare she?
I was shaking with anger as I made up Pacey's coffee just after Ms. Thang's outburst on set. "OOOOOOH!" I fumed.
"Are you alright?" someone asked me from behind.
I turned to find none other than Josephine Potter's friend Jeff - Jamie - Jerry or something. "If you must know. No, I'm not!"
"Ookay...I'm Jack McPhee, is there anything I can do?"
You can put a muzzle on that bitch - friend of yours. And keep her away from Pacey while you're at it. "Maybe." I say carefully. "You hear what Ms. Potter just did on the set?"
His eyes widened. "What did she do now?"
See? She must truly be awful if her friend is that scared of her. "She told Mr. Witter that if he crossed 'her' character anymore she would bail on the project."
"She what!?"
She told him off you dolt. How many ways do I have to explain it? I swear! Is everyone so blinded by how awful she is? "She told him off and he just took it! Pacey Witter never caves. She's your friend, do everyone a favour and shut her up!"
The guy's eyebrows shot up. Okay girl. Calm down. That was probably a little over the top.
"I'm sorry. Who are you again?"
Andraia Smith. ANDRAIA SMITH. It's not a hard name. Why can't any of you people freaking remember it? "I'm Mr. Witter's assistant; Andraia."
"Right. Angie - you have no idea what you're dealing with here, so just let it lie." He turned away and whipped his cell phone out.
ANDRAIA! And I don't care what you say. No one treats Pacey like that and gets away with it. He's mine. I have invested too much time on him and for him to just let some Bitch - actress swoop in and take him from me. HE'S MINE DAMN IT!
