Description: This is a post Joey/Pacey break-up fic. It is based five years after they parted ways that fateful night at prom. Two characters Ezra and Andrew are mine. Sort of a crossover fic though it's A/U and -A doesn't existed. I borrowed Ezra from Pretty little Liars, Emily might make an appearance. Not sure yet, if she does it will be as Pacey's ex.
Disclaimer: I own nothing except the original storyline and Andrew, he's of my own imagination.
Author's Note: Review and I will happily update often.
Unexpected Run-ins:
Chapter#13
(Joey's pov)
" I do my best Potter.", cracks Pacey with a wink. Fine so maybe I can't stay mad at him. In all honesty I'm not sure that I ever was. Guess the sight of his ex Emily was a sore spot for me. Pacey slept with me while he was still dating her. To make things worse, he wanted to get back with Emily at one point. Had I not come along, Pacey would probably be with her. He has more then made it clear that even if he did wind up back with Emily, it would have been a mistake. If Pacey says that I'm the one he wants to be with, then I believe him. He hasn't exactly given me a reason not to.
" I'm going to shower Pace.", I declare before placing a peck on his lips. Combing out my hair, I glance back at him. Letting out a sigh when he doesn't leave, I arch an eyebrow at Pacey. If he thinks that he's hopping in with me, that's not going to happen. Undoing a few buttons to my shirt, I smirk when Pacey's rough callused hands wrap around my waist to help. Glancing back at him in the mirror, I shudder when his finger tips graze against my stomach. If he really thinks this is going to work...he's probably right. Man do I hate how easy I melt at Pacey's touch.
" That actually doesn't sound like a bad idea Jo.", whispers Pacey in my ear before his mouth meets my neck. Damn him, I can feel my legs all but turn to jello. Pacey has always had this affect on me. There's no use putting up a fight at this point, we both know that I'm not going to win. Right now I'm basically putty in Pacey's hands. Why am I so weak when it comes to him? No body has ever had this kind of control over me. It makes me feel vulnerable, which is one thing I never want to be. But for whatever reason I don't mind so much when it comes to Pacey.
" Do you really think it's going to be that simple Pace? Because it won't be, I can promise you that.", I declare in a defiant tone though the smirk on my face gives me away. Fine, maybe it might be, but I could at least pretend to put up a fight. Chuckling when Pacey sets me on the counter top, I touch a hand to his chest. He is so lucky that I'm not in the mood to kick the crap out of him. If I were Pacey would be dead right about now. It's been so long since we have been like this. Part of me can't believe how easy it was to get back to this place in our relationship. Pacey definitely knows how to get his way that much is for sure.
Nipping at the skin just under my jawline, Pacey mumbles in a gruff tone," I wouldn't be so certain about that Potter."
Shivering when Pacey lifts the rest of my shirt off, I all but cling to his chest," Sometimes I really detest you Witter."
(Ezra's pov)
..." Look, Pacey. I'm just getting my tooth brush so I can...oh, wow.", I stammer before quickly turning my eyes downward. This is one thing I was not expecting to see. Guess that it is safe to say those two have worked out their differences once again. Did they really have to do so in the bathroom? The sight of a topless Joey is not going to be erased from my mind anytime soon. Not that I'm really going to complain. Of all the places to reconnect, they chose here? Pacey had to have known that unless the door were locked, Andrew or myself were bound to walk in. Things could have been worse though, they could have actually been...nope I refuse to even let my thoughts go there. That is an image I don't need imprinted in my head.
" Ezra, holy crap!", gasps Joey in a loud shriek. Yep, that is exactly how I imagined she would react. This couldn't be more awkward. Bet the last thing Joey expected was for me to walk in on...whatever this is. Trust me the last thing I wanted to was see these two in a less then compromising position. Got to admit, I'm more then slightly envious of Pacey. He gets to hook up with Joey and I'm just the idiotic friend. Something tells me if I never would have brought Joey here, I could have found a way to win her over. Then again, I can't be too angry that Pacey swept Joey off her feet once more. It has been a long time since I have seen him smile like this. Much as I might not want to be, I'm happy for the guy.
" Come on, Ezra. What are you doing to me man? I really cannot catch a break.", groans Pacey in frustration while trying unsuccessfully to hide his arousal. Well this just became unpleasant and quick. Wow, do I wish that I would have just gone right to bed. Why did I feel the need to brush my teeth? It could have waited until the morning. Yet here I am with an excited Pacey and half naked Joey. Sure hope he wasn't hoping to be getting any tonight. Somehow, I don't see that happening if he was. Joey looks all but mortified right about now.
" Alright, sorry. Pacey, Ezra out. I'm taking a shower and then going to bed.", states Joey in an irritated tone before snatching a towel to cover her upper half. Whoa, why is she mad at me? All I did was come in here to grab my tooth brush. If anything Pacey is the one who was trying to get lucky. While yes the thought has crossed my mind a few times, I could never make a move on Joey. Even before I knew her and Pacey dated in high school, I never once tried to scheme my way into bed with Joey. She's too good of a friend. That's not to say I haven't snuck a kiss once or twice, it never went further then that though.
Stumbling back when Joey shoves him toward the door, Pacey nearly trips over his own two feet," Jo...Joey, I know how to walk. ...I hate you Ezra."
Tossing my tooth brush and a tube of toothpaste at me, Joey turns the shower on," Pace, we'll talk when I'm clean and clothed. Until then, get out."
" Um, wait a second Joey. Come here, why is there a welt on your back?", I inquire before grasping hold of her arm gently. Do not tell me this is from that jerk Ben, I will kill him. What is wrong with that guy? Who hits someone they're supposed to love and care about? That doesn't seem to be the only one from what I can see. Geez, Joey has them all over her back, upper arms and sides. If I don't kick the crap out of Ben, Pacey's going to send him to the morgue.
" I'll be back in an hour or so.", notifies Pacey while pulling on a shirt and snatching up his car keys. Watching as he stalks toward the front door, Joey quickly pulls on a shirt of her own and races after Pacey. The last thing she wants is for him to take off. I'm not all that sure she is going to be able to stop him. Why would Joey even want to? She has to know that Ben is eventually going to get exactly what he has coming to him for the way he treated her. Why Joey stayed with him is something that I will never understand. She has to know that she could do way better then that jackass.
" Pacey...please don't go. Look, I'm done with Ben and I want nothing to do with him. This said, if you go pick a fight with him all you're going to do is stir the pot.", pleads Joey before stepping in front of Pacey. Wow, she really does not want him to leave. Why? What is Joey so afraid of? Does she think that if Pacey pounds on Ben, he'll only wind up pounding on her yet again? Pacey would never let that happen. He's not about to let that jerk anywhere near Joey. Glancing down at Joey, it's then he observes the sense of urgency in her eyes. Letting out a defeated sigh Pacey pulls Joey into his arms and hugs her close.
" If you don't want me to go, then I won't. But you're not going back for your things, we'll get you new clothes Jo. So help me God, if I ever see this guy on the streets? I'll kill him Potter.", laments Pacey in a gruff tone before placing a kiss atop Joey's forehead. I'm right there with him and there's not a doubt in my mind Andrew won't be too. What's important is that Joey is never going to see this guy again. She no longer has to worry about being treated like crap. Something tells me Pacey is going to go out of his way to treat Joey the way she deserves to be treated. If he doesn't want to lose her again he doesn't have much of a choice. …
