ONE NIGHT
CHAPTER ONE
Pacey, Joey and Jen sat staring blankly at the latest thing Dawson had dug up from the depths of who knew where. Pacey furrowed his brow, not exactly sure what he made of it, looking up he met Dawson's earnest gaze so he simply smiled and avoided eye contact. Joey could feel Dawson's eyes now on her so she followed Pacey's routine and suddenly became very intrigued with the floor. Jen faked a smile as she remarked,
" That was very well enlightening Dawson, quite the cinematic experience."
" Really? You think so? I think his work is wonderful, the way he incorporates emotions with..with such depth, I just can't get over this piece."
Pacey bit back a comment, he didn't want to knock his friend's taste in idols. Glancing at his watch he said," Guess I better be heading home, you know what Doug is like when it comes to curfew." Dawson frowned,
" I thought you were staying over? Remember you said a night filled with movies and fun would do us all some good?"
" I did?" Pacey settled back down on the bed and remarked," Oh yeah sorry Dawson I almost forgot there for a second, so what other hidden gems of cinema have you got in store for us tonight?" Joey elbowed him straight in the ribs, Pacey rubbed his side before glancing at Joey meaningfully, she simply stuck her tongue out at him," You know Miss Potter you ought to be very careful with that tongue of yours."
" Oh yes Mr Witter? And why is that?"
Jen watched the pair of them closely as Dawson rummaged in his movie collection, Jen began to wonder if something was going on between them or if they were even aware of the obvious chemistry they had between them.
Unaware of Jen's attention Pacey leaned in closer to Joey, placing his nose not more than one centimetre from hers, Joey could feel her heartbeat in her ears as Pacey leaned in closer to her, his blue eyes searching her own before he explained," The reason being is that any unlikely suspect could just come along and take full advantage of it." She unconsciously chewed her lip before moistening them feeling his breath brush against her cheek but she regained her composure as she retorted,
" I highly doubt that Pace."
" What's that Potter? Don't believe me?"
Joey leaned back crossing her arms as she replied," Oh no Pacey I believe you, really I do. Just the thought that anyone in this room would want to kiss me or I would want to kiss them in return is highly laughable and highly unlikely."
Pacey pushed a hand through his hair, joking to cover up his disappointment," You wound me Josephine Potter, here I thought you would spare the time for a mere mortal like myself." Flopping back on the bed he threw his arms out melodramatically before clutching at the front of his shirt which earnt him a laugh from Joey and Jen.
" My my Pacey I never knew you could be so expressive." Jen commented while chuckling, Pacey sat up and winked before he glanced over at Dawson as he smiled victoriously, Pacey's gaze travelled downwards to the movies Dawson had selected and suddenly he wished he did have a curfew. Joey noticed the look in Pacey's eyes, looking at Jen she gestured towards Dawson. Jen turned round on her chair and suggested," Hey how about instead of movies we play a game instead?"
" A game? What kind of game?" asked Dawson.
Jen spun on her chair, leaning her head back she replied," How about Twister?" Joey and Pacey shared a look before they both grinned,
" Cool, Twister sounds good."
Dawson looked a little disappointed before he smiled," Alright, Twister it is, who's going first?"
" How about one of us does the spinning while the others do the twisting?" Suggested Pacey.
Dawson raised his hand," I'll do the spinning, I was never too good at the twisting part of this game."
They all laughed before they set out the mat, Dawson spun the wheel," Pacey right hand red." Pacey begrudginly placed his hand down and waited," Joey left foot red." Joey slid under Pacey as she placed her foot on a red spot, Pacey joked,
" Who would have thought I would run into you here." Joey just chuckled and felt a hand slip through her leg and as she looked around she saw Jen smiling back at her.
" Pacey left foot green." Pacey grunted in effort as he lifted his leg over Jen and attempted to keep his hand in the red spot," Joey right hand blue."Joey twisted around on herself bending backwards as she barely put her hand on the blue spot, Pacey took a deep breath as the bare stomach of one Josephine Potter arched across his line of vision and he had to force any thoughts he might have out of his mind.
" Jen left foot yellow." Jen rolled her eyes, trust her to get the difficult one. Slipping her leg across the mat she wobbled slightly and watched as both Joey and Pacey wobbled because of her.
" Hey Miss Lindley watch yourself, you go down we all go down." Pacey remarked.
Jen wiggled her eyebrows," Oh really?" Pacey's eyes widened as suddenly he felt his leg move and next thing he knew he landed flat on his back with a laughing Jen under him, Joey tried valiantly to stay up but Pacey leaned up and blew on her ear causing her to giggle and she ended sprawled across him. Dawson sat laughing at the sight of his three friends tangled up in the middle of his floor.
Joey blew her hair out of her face," That was so not fair Pacey!"
Pacey winked and replied," All's fair in love and war Jo."
Joey raised an eyebrow before she pulled up his shirt and blew a raspberry right on his stomach, Pacey's eyes flew open laughing at the touch but also trying to cover the fact he enjoyed the feel of her lips against his stomach. Jen quickly escaped as Pacey began to squirm, scrabbling to her feet she couldn't help but feel left out of something but she didn't know what that something was quite yet. Pacey gasped for breath as Joey ruthlessly tickled him but grabbing her hands he suddenly stopped laughing as brown intense eyes caught him off guard, they seemed to be looking at him in a different way but with one blink whatever the look was it was gone.
" How about some truth or dare?"
Pacey coughed and moved quickly away from Joey," Yeah sure Dawson, sounds good to me." Joey smoothed down her hair and glanced at Pacey giving him a small smile. Dawson watched his friends closely before he shook his head and settled down on the floor, looking over at Jen he asked,
" So who's going first?"
Jen smirked," Okay then...hmmm Joey truth or dare?"
" Truth."
" Out of all us, which one would you choose to be stuck on a desert island with?" Joey wiggled her nose, glancing at the three people all looking at her intently,
" I would have to say....in all honesty Pacey." Pacey raised his eyebrows so Joey continued," I better explain why before Pace's head swells, I chose Pace as he and I have got close and well I like to think we make a good team so who better to be on a desert island with than a person you can work together with?"
Pacey leaned back smiling to himself, watching the small group carefully. Dawson seemed a tad jumpy, he was watching Joey like she was going to blow away in the wind. Jen just seemed to be enjoying watching people squirm as they answered, it would seem she had something up her sleeve.
" Alright then Pace, truth or dare?"
" You know me Potter, dare."
Joey smiled mischieviously," I dare you to hmm..show a bit of your body that has something about it or on it that no-one knows about." Jen grinned at Joey,
" Good one Jo, so come on Pacey strip!" Pacey chuckled softly, Joey was beginning to think she was crazy as his laugh seemed to electrify her senses and send shivers through her body. Meeting his eyes she couldn't help but notice the difference. It was like he was looking into her, searching her for some kind of answer but also something else was in those ocean blue eyes.
" Alright ladies and gentleman, the secret of Pacey Witter." With that he pulled off his shirt and Joey had to look at the floor as the broad golden chest that greeted her eyes, made her think of many things that did not involve being just friends. Pacey noticed that Joey had looked away so he simply smirked before he turned round and Dawson asked,
" Alright when did you get that?" Pointing to a small sun that had two faces to it, Pacey's face broke into a grin,
" Well that my friend is a little something I picked up from my time away in the Sun."
Jen's eyes were lit up as she exclaimed," That's really good Pacey." Pacey smiled before he slipped his shirt back on, glancing across at Joey giving her a wink. Pacey then changed his gaze to Dawson,
" Truth or dare Dawson?"
" Truth."
Pacey laughed and replied," Alright Dawson, first time you ever saw a woman's bra?" Dawson blushed a deep crimson before he answered,
" When I was six.." Noticing the looks he was given, he shook his head and replied," Nothing like that, it was my mum's and I just happened to see it in the laundry."
Jen shook her head," And here I thought Dawson Leery had some dark and sordid secret." Dawson laughed,
" Alright then Jen, truth or dare?"
" I would have to say Truth." Pacey looked disappointed before he pouted,
" Aww come on you guys, I can't be the only one willing to take a dare."
" Fine, fine I'll take a dare."
Dawson looked across at Pacey before he looked back at Jen," I dare you to run downstairs, scream I want you to my dad then run back upstairs." Jen's mouth dropped open,
" I can't do that, he'll think I'm out of my mind." Joey nudged her and gave her an encouraging look so Jen growled before she got to her feet and remarked," No-one is allowed to comment or remind me of this event ever, understood?" They all nodded vigorously before racing to the stairs banister and watched as Jen huttled down the stairs, practically threw herself into Dawson's dad's arms and screamed," I want you!!" Mitch looked very taken aback before he heard the giggling and as he looked upwards he met the gazes of three teenagers and simply resigned himself to the fact he had been used in some sort of game.
Jen ran back upstairs with a serious look on her face but as she met the looks of her friends she disintegrated into a fit of giggles. Scarpering back inside Dawson's room as Mitch came up the stairs slightly, he simply smiled and jogged back down. Pacey flopped back on the bed laughing before he grabbed Joey by the waist dragging her down," Well hello Miss Potter." Joey laughed then glanced at Dawson and Jen who were still caught up in their laughter, looking back at Pacey her breath caught in her throat. A red tinged hair fell over his eyes as they looked back at her sparkling with life, something she had noticed about Dawson was his eyes never sparkled they never seemed to change but Pacey's they changed with every movement he made.
" What time is it?"
Joey and Pacey broke off eye contact looking at Jen, Pacey glanced at his watch," Yikes time sure does fly, its nearly midnight." Dawson asked,
" Um guys want to watch some movies?"
" Sure Dawson." Dawson grinned grabbing the discarded tapes and began to sort the VCR out, Pacey sighed and moved back so his head was propped up by the headboard. Joey did the same but fidgeted as she couldn't get comfortable but was surprised when Pacey put his arm around her and laid her head on his chest, even more surprised that she liked it," Might as well be comfortable Potter, looks like we're going to be here a long time." Joey supressed a smile, looking up she met Jen's gaze and she simply smiled at her before she too got comfortable in the chair she was sat in.
COUPLE OF HOURS LATER .....
Pacey grunted as he attempted to say awake, they were half way through a black and white drama of some sort and by the looks of Jen she had already succumbed, Dawson on the other hand was glued to the tv. Hearing a slight groan he looked down at the sleeping face of one Miss Josephine Potter, smiling he gently reached out stroking her hair, smile broadening as she nuzzled his hand gently. He wondered if Joey knew how beautiful she was and if she knew how much this one moment meant to him, would he face rejection once more in his life? Sighing softly he rested his hand down beside her, closing his eyes and soon he drifted into sleep.
