Author's Note: K, another really random and silly story...
Sleepless in Capeside
by Evie
Yesterday, I woke up in a fog of delight. I had my
arms around the most beautiful woman on the planet.
Today, I'm all alone. It's painful yes, I knew it would
be, but this... there is no way I'm getting any sleep
tonight. We should have just stayed out there
until we had to show up for the first day of school.
Six more days of added bliss, instead of back to the
pullout couch in my brother's bachelor pad.
Oh, did I tell you Dougie's got a girlfriend? Shocker,
I know. But she's in there right now with him. I think
they're asleep now, but oh my God the torture it was
when they were awake. I don't know if I can
handle this. I really am worn out, but I'm so agitated
I know that the sleep my body so desperately craves
will never come.
I smack my pillow roughly. This thing is not helping
my comfort. In fact this thing is agitating the hell
out of me. It smells terrible! I'm used to smelling
her hair, I know. The sensation it gives me. God, it's
almost as wonderful as kissing her... almost.
Ugh! I'm twisting like a mad man in these sheets.
Damn it! I hurl the pillow across the room. Luckily,
it didn't knock over any of Dougie's priceless garbage.
When did those fucking crickets get so loud? Chirp,
chirp, chirp... Oh man! Will this torture ever end?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I think I need another drink of water. "Ouch!" Now,
I know I'm home. Tripping over Alexander's toys
in the night. How could I have gone through an
entire three months of my life without it?
Thank goodness, Bessie didn't hear me. I am so not
in the mood to see any of them. No one to remind
me even more so that I'm back in Capeside. I feel
sick enough as it is.
Three months. That's an awful long time in our world.
And I just don't see how on earth I'm expected to
sleep without him. I'm so used to him. I'm going
to go insane, I know it. Why in the hell does it
have to be so hot?!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If Joey didn't live so far I could hoof the tolerable
five minutes I can stand before going crazy without her.
But instead, I've got Doug's car. Okay, I've stolen
Doug's car... so it's a police vehicle. It's all in
the family right? I'll bring it back before anyone
notices. I just need to be with her just for a few
hours. I need my rest ya know?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Bed? Sofa? Bed? Sofa? Like it makes a difference, Joey.
You're never going to get any sleep anyway.
I hope a guest doesn't come down. I can't bear
going back in that stuffy room. Why couldn't we
just have stayed on the freaking boat for a little
bit longer? I mean, what would have an extra week...
two weeks? ...month and half really hurt? I know
life, I have one, unfortunately for me.
I plop down on the sofa and reach for the remote.
Wow there is actually stuff to watch on TV at 3am?
I try to settle into an old episode of 'Family Ties'.
Pacey would love this. Pace... How am I going
to sustain sanity without sleep?
As wonderful as this show is, I'm growing even more
restless. Shit. I think I'll go sit out
on the porch for a while. It's got to be a little
cooler out there...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I wonder if I can get into her window? Probably not.
What in the hell was I thinking? Luckily, I left
the car far enough away not to wake anyone. But damn it
I have to get in.
As I approach the Potter family home, I see a blue glaring
light suddenly cease in the living room area. Then...
oh shit the front door is opening. I'm standing right
in the middle of the front yard. There's no where to
hide. I pray to God that... Oh, wow. Breathe Pacey,
you just spent the entire summer alone with the woman...
I know, but she's... breathtaking. God, damn it I'm seeing
spots.
I scarcely hear her feet bounding through the grass
toward me, all I know is that....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Oh God! Pace!" God, must have heard me bitching and wanted
me to shut up, because I can't believe I'm in his arms.
"I missed you so much."
"Care to kiss an old lonely sailor's troubles away?"
he grumbles affectionately in my ear, cradling my body
against his.
Instead of answering his question, I reach up and grasp
his neck with my hand. This is right. This is what I needed.
Our lips meet and I melt for the thousandth time this summer.
The way he works his tongue so gently, yet passionately...
it's all I can do to not throw him down on the ground
right now and have my way with him.
Maybe I will...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As I live and breathe, she's going to kill me.
Does she have to be this soft? Could it kill her not to
taste this sweet? Does she realize what she's doing
to me? Doesn't she know that I can't get enough of
her? That I'll die without this... at least it feels
that way. She's my entire world. I wonder if I'm hers.
"Potter..." I'm kissing her neck now. I can't get her
close enough to me. We need to go to the boat, but
we'd get to comfortable and who's to say I'll be able
to keep myself from sailing away from this godforsaken
town once again.
"Pace..." Her voice is just as sweet. I love everything
about this woman.
"Hmm?" I mumble.
"We can go sit on the porch," she's suggesting.
"'Kay."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We finally separate, but our hands keep us together.
Linked and bonded, the way we were meant to be.
I've known for quite a while that I love this man, but sometimes
it amazes me just how frickin' much.
Pacey settles onto the cushions of the porch swing
and I settle onto him.
"You sleepy?" he asks me. I love his voice. That sexy low-timbre,
the way it caresses me, and holds me close.
"A little," I answer truthfully.
"You thinking about Dawson?"
An odd question... well not really, but it was the farthest
thing from my mind. I've been sitting here being far
too selfish, grumbling and pouting about being without
my Pacey.
"No. Why do you ask?"
"You obviously couldn't sleep. You were coming
outside to think, right?"
"More like daydream."
"Oh? And what would theses post-midnight day dreams
be about?"
"Not sure really. Just someone vaguely resembling
some tall guy with brown hair and blue eyes."
"Someone I know?"
"Yep."
"I couldn't sleep without you either."
"What are we gonna do, Pace?"
"Let's not think about that right now, okay?" He lays
a gentle kiss on my temple.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"In the morning?" she yawns against my chest, comforting
me in way she'll never know.
"In the morning, sweetie."
"K, night." Her lips press into my shirt for a quick
affectionate little kiss.
"I love you."
"Mmm... I love you, Pacey."
Whatever my next thought was going to be I can't remember.
I'm to content to care. I've got my Jo. Sleep... feels
good.
End
I know it's kinda weird, but this is so fun sitting up and
writing at night after working all day. I hope for
some feedback.
