The Complication of Adulthood
Chapter 10: The Perfect Couple or not?
A week later, things were heading in a positive road for the married couple. They were able to talk to each other and be completely honest with one another. If you didn't know any better, you would assume they were the perfect couple. Nonetheless, there was one thing that could destroy the marriage.
Pacey had lied about his loyalty. Pacey knew that he made a mistake sleeping with Jen. He should have never doubted his marriage with Joey. It was one mistake and hopefully he would not make it again.
One morning, Pacey and Joey were making out heavily as they were entering the kitchen. They looked so in love and renewed. Their intimate life has skyrocket. They loved being around one another.
"I love you." Pacey broke away from their kiss.
"I love you too." Joey said and she kissed him again.
They turned around and saw their son who was in his own world. They could not believe that they had created this beautiful son.
"How are you doing Josh?" Pacey walked up to his son and patted him on the head.
"He's started to walk already. Now we're just waiting for him to talk." Joey announced; she began to prepare breakfast.
"Well, he'll speak when he is ready… But right now…" Pacey walked up to Joey and kissed her, "I'm just proud that I have the best family in the entire world."
"Me too." Joey repeated.
Later on in the morning, Pacey walked into his work and he looked proud of his accomplishments. This was his life and nothing could bring him down.
"You look happy." His boss noticed.
"I feel happy." Pacey responded.
"I wish I had the luck you had… I see that you took my advice." Craig stated.
"What advice?" Pacey questioned.
"The advice I gave you about staring an after school activity." Craig said in code.
"What!" Pacey's said worried.
"You have a visitor." Craig pointed. Pacey turned around and his heart jumped because it was the last person he expected to see. It was Jen. She had decided to show up unexpectedly.
Pacey did not know what to do. He did not now what to say or do. Therefore, he walked over there casually, as if nothing had happened between them.
"Hey." He said hastily.
"Hey. After all that has happened between the two of us, all you have to say is hey?" Jen said offended.
"What happened between us?" Pacey was talking as if he did not know anything. He was hoping that she would get the hint and go away.
Jen, who was truly insulted, said, "Pacey, you can't act as if nothing happened between the two of us. I think we should talk because…"
Pacey interrupted her, "But why can't we act as if nothing happened between the two of us. I'm married and I made a horrible, terrible, selfish mistake. As much as that might sound painful to you, it's the truth. That one night meant nothing to me."
"Well, that's ashamed to say, because it meant a lot to me." Jen said disappointed.
Pacey looked in her eyes and said, "Did you expect something to happen between the two of us?"
"Well, I guess, I don't really know," Jen faded off. However, her silence was a pernicious to Pacey.
"Listen, I'm sorry about everything, but you have to leave." He ordered.
"I think I deserve some more answers!" Jen demanded.
"Well I'm sorry but life does not work that way." Pacey debated. Pacey grabbed her arm and started to push her toward the exit.
However, Jen resisted, and made a threat by saying, "You better talk to me or I'll talk to someone else about this!"
