WHITNEY'S HOUSE
"Hey," Jason says as he sidles up
to Courtney.
"Hey, you! I've been waiting for
you." She snakes her arm around his back and rests her hand against his
far hip. It takes a moment for him to feel comfortable with her touch again.
"So how's Alex?" she asks, moving
closer to his ear because of the music.
"Not too bad. He seemed happy to
be here tonight."
"Good! I should go talk to him some
more in a little bit."
"Yeah," Jason says, doing his best
to mask him uncertainty. "But you'll have to wait. Looks like things are
getting kinda serious over there." He points across the room, where Lauren
and Alex are clearly engaged in deep conversation.
"I didn't want to let her go to him,"
Courtney says. "But she was insisting on it, and then she just sorta slipped
away. Who knows, maybe they'll get their act together."
"Yeah, maybe," Jason says distractedly
as he watches them. He sees Alex glancing away from Lauren uncomfortably.
"Oh my God!" Courtney cries out suddenly.
Her free hand reaches across and practically smacks Jason in the chest.
He is almost too stunned to realize
what he is watching, but it comes into focus ...
Alex and Lauren are kissing.
He watches, half-confused and half-horrified,
as the kiss drags on for what feels like an eternity. And when it ends,
he sees Lauren taking Alex by the hand ... tipping her head ... Alex responding
...
And they begin to head upstairs.
