Description: this is a story I have been working on for a while. This is my fifth Dawson's Creek story. I'll writing this as well as Conflicted Love, Love Unrequited, Unlikely Pair and Clueless Affection on here now.
Disclaimer: I may not own the characters but this story is original and from my imagination.
Author's note: this is my fifth try at a Dawson's creek story, be nice to me please. This is a Pacey/Joey fic, my version of how they got together and it is set in season one. Wanted to switch things up for a change and try something different. Enjoy and review thanks
Chapter #9
(Pacey's pov)
"Do you like me Joe?", I challenge with raised eyebrows. I never really put much thought into the idea of dating Josephine Potter. That isn't to say that I would be opposed to the idea though. Joey is a beautiful girl. Any guy would be jumping hurdles for a date with her. Would I though? Do I like Joey? I don't know. I certainly find her attractive, I know that much.
"Does the word 'eww' mean anything to you Pace, don't worry Witter. If I ever lose my mind you will be the first to know, I promise.", answers Joey in a sarcastic tone. Ah, glad to see that we cleared that fiasco up. I was almost beginning to wonder what it would be like to have Joey on my arm and to be able to kiss her. How nice of her to set me straight on how she feels about me.
Clutching my chest dramatically, I stumble backwards a few steps, " Oh, ouch, you cut me deep Potter, you cut me real deep. I am merely making sure Joe. Wouldn't want to have you throwing yourself at me, now would we?", I tease with a grin and playful wink. This causes the two of us to burst out in laughter. I knew that was sure to lighten the mood a little. Things were slowly becoming a bit too tense for my liking. Glad Joey and I were able to clear things up.
With a roll of her eyes, Joey gives me a gentle nudge to the ribs," Ha, ha. Are you going to play around all night or buy me dinner Witter?"
"Whoa, whoa….whoa. Since when am I buying dinner Potter?", I exclaim with mock shock and surprise at her assumption. Honestly, I wouldn't mind paying. But where does Joey get off automatically assuming that I'm going to buy her meal? Sometimes I find myself questioning Potter's sanity. Tonight, I'm mostly wondering about mine. What has come over me?
"Since I said so.", dead pans Joey in a serious manner. It's not long before she reveals a teasing grin though. Ah, Joey is messing with me right now. She wanted to see if I would actually go through with it. I have to admit Joey is one clever girl, for about a minute or so I thought that she was serious. Glad to see Joe hasn't lost her sense of humor.
"Can't argue with that logic, let's go doll.", I smile with a wink before leading Joey out of the Ice House. Waiting for her to lock the place up, I follow Joey down the streets of Capeside. Who would have thought that Potter and I would actually be getting along as well as we are tonight. Usually all we're capable of is slinging insults at each other. That's how tonight may have started out, but who is to say that's how it has to end? …(End Pacey's pov)
