Chapter 6
Pacey's POV
"Mmm it smells good in here," Katie asks me as she walks into the apartment, "What are you cooking?"
"Wouldn't you like to know," I say as I turn around to look at her, seeing what seemed like a million bags in her hands, "Good god woman did you spend all my money?"
"Well you have plenty of it," She says smiling as she set the bags down and walks into the kitchen.
"And how do you know that?" I ask. Then after a moment I continue, "Let me guess Ms. Lindley told you everything about me."
"Well not everything, just the good stuff," She says.
"Where is she?" I ask.
"Oh she said she had to stop at home first but she would be back," She says sitting down.
"They always come back," I joke as I continue to stir the sauce making sure it wasn't going to burn.
"So what are we having?" She asks getting up to stand next to me.
"Spaghetti," I answer. I'm suddenly well aware that she is looking over my shoulder.
After a few moments she turns around and says, "Well I'm going to go upstairs, take a shower, and change considering I've worn these clothes two days in a row," then she turns back around to add, "It better be ready when I'm done."
"Yes ma'am," I say getting a laugh out of her as she heads for the stairs. I turn back to my spaghetti. It was nice to have someone to entertain even if it was only for a little while.
At quarter to seven the doorbell rang. I went to answer the door, "Jack, Jen, and Drue?" I question, giving Jen a look.
"Yeah he's the new beau," Jack says obviously as displeased with this as I was. Jen and Drue had known each other before she had moved to Capeside. Then he moved their senior year with his mother, wrecking havoc whenever possible. Drue went to college in New Mexico by his father and I hadn't seen him since.
"Really?" I ask still very much in shock. Drue had tried all of senior year to get Jen to go out with him and she had turned him down every time.
"Yes and be nice," Jen says to me as she steps into the apartment, "where's Katie?"
"Upstairs. She took a shower and was going to wear one of her new outfits," I say.
"So you're picking up girls at the hospital now?" Drue snickers getting only glares and an elbow from Jen.
I just shake me head, "You haven't changed a bit have you Drue?"
"He has he just doesn't act like it sometime. What did I say about being nice?" Jen says glaring at Drue.
"I was just joking," Drue says defensively.
"Is dinner ready yet?" Katie asks as she came down the stairs. She was dressed casually in a nice tee-shirt and black pants, which even as simple as it was made me take a second.
"Yeah almost," I reply, "guys this is Katie, you've already met Jen but this is Jack and unfortunately Drue." I look over at Jen who just rolled her eyes realizing that she wasn't going to get through this night with us being nice.
"Nice to meet you," Katie says.
"Well I'm starving. What are we having?" Jack asks as they all sat down. I head for the kitchen to retrieve dinner.
"Spaghetti," I reply starting to serve it.
"My favorite," Jen says.
