DT10 - Owwwww....

[Derek Scott]

"Because you've been stuck on how you have to get back with your ex-boyfriend who won't return your goddamn phone calls! And then when I do call you to ask you out, you tell me that lo and behold, you've magically gotten over him and met the perfect guy all in one night!"

[Chloe Grant]

"When did you ask me out?" Chloe asked "You never asked me out! I would remember if you had! And I didn't meet the perfect guy. I met a nice boy who asked me out on a date. So I said yes."

[Derek Scott]

"Of course I didn't ask you out, when I called you you said you had a date! I might be pathetic but I'm not an idiot!"

[Chloe Grant]

"How do you expect me to go on a date with you if you never ask me out?!?"

[Derek Scott]

"When was I supposed to! You'd only just finally gotten over Simon, apparently! You think I wanted to be the rebound guy again? Hell, it was dangerous enough just hanging out with you as much as I was, but I thought maybe if you were around me enough you'd start to be interested! Oh, that sure worked well, didn't it!"

[Chloe Grant]

"Of course I was interested! Why would I spend so much time with you if I wasn't interested!? How can you say you love me, when you think so little of me?"

[Derek Scott]

"Well how can you be interested when you think I'm some cheap manwhore who just wants in your pants! Every time I've tried showing interest you make sure to shoot me down before I've hardly said anything!"

[Chloe Grant]

"The only thing that you've shown interest in, besides spending time with me, is getting into my pants! What was I supposed to think? You never gave me any reason to think you wanted more than friendship."

[Derek Scott]

"You were stuck on Simon, what was I supposed to do, go swooping in like some predator while you're still hurting and snatch you up?" He ignored the glares they were getting and slapped his money down on the counter for the lady at the till. "Too late now, though. Not like I should've expected anything else. Keep the change," he muttered, starting for the door.

[Chloe Grant]

"So thats it? You tell me that you love me and then you just walk away?" Chloe said "You don't love me, you just want to hurt me for going out with Trev. Thats it, isn't it? You told me what I wanted to hear just so you could use it to hurt me."

[Derek Scott]

"No, I just know you. You wouldn't cut it off with Simon even though you'd been miserable, you won't drop Trev just because someone's in love with you," he shot back. "I've learned my lesson too many times to not know how it goes."

[Chloe Grant]

"Why can't I go out with both of you. Its not like things are serious with Trev."

[Derek Scott]

"Because I know how that ends up," Derek shot back. "Just cutting to the chase."

[Chloe Grant]

"Why wouldn't I pick you?" Chloe asked "I might quite like dating you."

[Derek Scott]

He turned around, giving her a humorless smile. "Yeah. I've thought that before," he said. "Never got me anywhere. Not going to expect it to be different now."

[Chloe Grant]

"So thats it." Chloe said glumly "You won't even give me a chance?"

[Derek Scott]

"Always," he said as he walked out. "I just know how I stack up in things like this."
