True Love Adventures

Day Thirty

It had been a week since they left their little island behind and they were only days away from reaching their destination. All week Joey had been in a bit of a love bubble and it seemed like she was seeing Pacey through new eyes. She secretly watched him constantly and felt like everything Pacey did was HOT. He got sexier by the day and would take her breath away when his muscles flexed while pulling on the ropes or on the really hot days, when he would walk around without a shirt on, the sun glistening off of his tanned skin. She had never really noticed his body before, but now that he had awaken something inside her after their night together on the island, she couldn't stop thinking about what else she wanted to do to him and he to her. There was this one day when he was scrubbing the boat, the combination of the water and sweat on his shirtless back created all these feelings deep down inside and Joey started to day dream about having sex with him right then and there. She felt her body reacting to those thoughts and wished Pacey would come over there and ravish her. As each day passed, she felt like she was more and more ready to have sex with him and wondered how long it would be before she gave into her feelings.

Pacey was checking the boat over and Joey was sitting on the bow of the boat silently watching him. He couldn't quite read her face as it was an expression he hadn't seen before, but it almost looked like desire. He pretended he didn't notice her watching him as he worked, but the harder he worked, the more intense she looked and he could feel himself getting turned on. They hadn't talked about their night on the island and even though he knew Joey didn't regret it, he didn't want to appear too eager to repeat it in case she wasn't ready, but if she was ready, what was she ready for? He didn't dare hope for more than what they had already done, but he was certainly looking forward to what might be next. He tried to think of something else because he could feel himself starting to get hard and didn't want her to see that. It was a really hot day and with her watching him so intently it made him sweat even more and if he didn't do something soon to pull himself back, Joey was going to get quite a show.

Hey, it's really hot out, how about a swim? We could drop anchor here and go for a dip, whatta say?" Pacey had only turned his head, so as to hide his front until he calmed down. His voice brought Joey out of her trance and she jumped a little when he spoke. "Sure, just give me a minute to change.

We could just go skinny dipping Potter, you know be one with the water and what not" Pacey was teasing, but the thought was appealing to him.

And have you mauling me while I try to swim, that's a recipe for drowning Witter" she dead panned back at him.

Joey went below deck while Pacey cast the anchor. They swam around for about half an hour just to cool off and were back on the boat and on to their next port which Pacey predicted would be in about three hours. They figured they would stop there for dinner, find a laundromat and maybe even catch a movie if there was a theatre in town.

After dining on Pizza which was conveniently located directly across the street from the laundromat, they headed to the local movie theatre where their only choices were "What Lies Beneath", "The Perfect Storm" and "Cast Away". They looked at each other and both said "Cast Away" at the same time because there was no way they were going to watch a movie about a doomed boat at sea or a movie about ghosts. They later joked about the irony of their movie choice as they made their way to True Love to turn in for the night.

It was quite a warm night, so they had decided to bring their sleeping bags up and sleep under the stars which they had done a couple of times when they first set sail, but have been sleeping in the hammocks ever since with the exception of their time on the island. This would be the first time they would be sleeping together since then and Joey was a little nervous about it. She wasn't nervous because of Pacey, she was nervous because she didn't know if she could restrain herself and that scared her. She has been fantasizing about him every day since and she really wanted to get intimate with him again, but being as inexperienced as she was, she had no idea what to do. As they settled on top of the joined sleeping bag, Joey snuggled up to Pacey and started tracing her finger along his jawline and admiring his profile.

You know Pacey, you are beautiful" she whispered into his ear before nipping on his earlobe. "I know that's not the normal description given to a guy, but you are". Pacey turned toward her, cupped her cheek and captured her lips in an intoxicating kiss that left Joey light headed. He nibbled on her bottom lip and kissed her again seeking out her tongue with his. She had butterflies on top of her butterflies and she could feel a throbbing making its way down to her core. She wanted him so bad, but was still very scared to have sex. However, she did want more than kissing though, so let her hands roam all over Pacey's arms and back feeling his flexing. He had decided he wasn't going to wear a shirt since it was so warm and she was so thankful for that. His skin felt like silk against her fingers and she couldn't get enough of the feel of him as she explored his body, inching her way lower and lower until she reached the waist band of his boxers. She slowly slid her hands inside the thin material and squeezed his ass which resulted in one of Pacey's sexy groans and Joey's heart skipped a beat.

Having Joey in his arms again in the throws of passion, felt so right, it felt natural like it was where he always belonged and any previous relationship he had was just a precursor to this one, now he couldn't imagine life without her. That realization was frightening, but Pacey was never afraid to back down from a challenge, so why would he start now with something so incredibly important as Joey Potter. Pacey continued to kiss her and he could feel himself getting hard, but when she squeezed his butt cheeks he got even harder and he groaned from the pressure. They had already had a night of passionate exploration and Pacey was ready for a repeat, but he was definitely going to follow Joey's lead on this to ensure he didn't do anything she wasn't ready for, like sex and even though he has had sex, he wasn't sure if he was ready to have sex with her. He wanted it to be the right time and he didn't want to scare her off, so was willing to wait as long as necessary because he did not want to screw this up and sometimes having sex too soon can get in the way of a real relationship, this relationship wasn't worth the risk.

Joey felt Pacey's hard on against her stomach and it fueled her fire even more to know that he was reacting to her this way. She wasn't niave enough to know that a teenage boy could get hard just by looking at pictures or staring at someone's boobs, but knowing that Pacey was getting hard because of her made her feel special and feeling that hard on pressed into her was giving her the confidence to go forward in her exploration of his body. She slowly moved her hand to Pacey's hip and slid it further until she felt his cock and she caressed the length of him which emitted another growl from him. She felt him bend his knee which gave her better access, so she gripped her hand around him and started stroking him.

Ugh Joey" Pacey moaned, and he bent his head nuzzling her neck, then started nipping at her skin sending shock waves through her right down to her toes causing her to squeeze him harder. He felt her shiver and he would have smiled to himself if she hadn't been giving him such pleasure. He started to rock his hips pumping into her hand further while kissing and nipping at her neck. Joey sighed and stretched her head back allowing him to reach the pulse point on her neck which he had come to know was her weakness. Pacey started licking and sucking her there and Joey moaned loudly, her head getting hazy causing her to ease her grip on his cock. Pacey felt her hand slackening on him and this time he did smile to himself, satisfied that he was able to make her lose herself. He worked his way back up to her ear and whispered "Jo, you remember when you got to taste me? Well I want to taste you, but if you don't want me to, well then you're just going to have to stop me".

Joey's breath caught in her throat at the sound of his words in that husky voice of his that she always found incredibly sexy and the reference he made of having to stop him was not lost on her "Oh Pacey" was all she was able to manage when she finally got her breath back. Pacey took that as a sign and continued his assault on her neck sliding his tongue down and then kissing her along the front as he shifted his body, so he was partially on top of her.

Pacey looked up and as their eyes met, he smiled slightly, his eyes narrowing "you taste so good Miss Potter" and he licked his lips. Joey thought she was going die in that moment, her chest contracted, her stomach was doing flip flops and she couldn't control her breathing as a wave of desire filled her entire body. Her mouth was getting dry, why was her mouth so dry, she thought and she licked her own lips.

When Pacey saw her tongue sliding across her lips he growled deep in his throat and went back to kissing her skin. He was slowly making his way across and down her body and every few kisses he could feel her shiver. She had long forgotten her hold on his cock and he was fine with that because it meant he could put all of his focus on pleasing her. He wanted to make it his goal in life to please her if she let him starting right now. As he continued his trek down her body he reached the top of her tank top, he was thankful that it was the stretchy material and he hooked his finger along the neckline and pulled down slightly revealing the curve of her breast. He could clearly see her hardened nipple through the material, but there would be time for that in a moment, right now he just wanted to take his time and appreciate her silky mounds and enjoy the anticipation of what was to come.

Joey's chest was heaving and her skin was super aware of his every touch, the electricity flowing through her caused her to shiver several times even though the night air was hot. She was watching Pacey's head as he slowly made his way down her body and even though every kiss was like heaven on earth, she felt like she could crawl right out of her skin, she was on edge, but couldn't move. When Pacey growled, the sound went straight to her core and she could have sworn she actually felt herself get wet with desire. There was something in the way he made that sound that affected her to the point of sedation, it seemed to paralyze her in the moment, but God was it sexy.

She felt his lips on her breast as he kissed her above the neck line, but oh how she wished he would bite her rock hard nipples "Pacey pleeeassse" she pleaded when he got close, but didn't touch them. She bit her bottom lip out of frustration and was about push his head down forcing him to take her in his mouth when he nipped at her through the material of her top. She squealed in both delight and pain as she needed more pressure to release whatever she was feeling, "Oh Pacey bite me already" she pleaded and he chuckled. She was about to lash out at him for that, but froze as he pulled her shirt down and sucked on her hardened nub. Her head pressed backward and her chest raised up out of reflex and Joey let out a breathy cry, her hands instinctively flew to his head and her fingers entwined into his hair. She had never felt so alive and yet felt like she was dying all at the same time.

Pacey was enjoying the slow seduction, but when Joey begged him to bite her, he realized how on edge she must be and having been there before he did have a smidge of compassion, however, the slow build up can create the most amazing outcome and he wanted to please her in the best possible way. Pacey started flicking and sucking her nipple causing the most beautiful sounds to come from Joey, her skin was on fire and there was a light beading of sweat starting to surface. As he started to work his way over to her other breast, he slid is tongue upward in the valley between tasting her salty skin and the pleasure he felt from that went straight to his cock and he thrusted forward connecting with her inner thigh. He was thankful that Joey had let go of him because he could easily cum right then and there if she had asserted any pressure in that moment.

Joey thought she was going to go insane if Pacey didn't provide her a release soon and if he didn't she thought she was just desperate enough to give herself release regardless of how embarrassing that might be. Pacey started travelling over to her other breast and gave it the same attention he had given her other one and the feeling sparked another fire with her "that feels so good", she moaned breathlessly.

Pacey was starting to get impatient himself, so as he feasted on Joey's breast, he slowly slid his hand down to her hip and back up again bringing the bottom of her tank upward. He released his mouth and moved up to kiss her lips giving her the much needed liquid to quench her dry mouth. As he swirled his tongue around hers, he worked the tank up past her breasts, then halted the kiss to pull the shirt over her head leaving her topless to his view. Pacey bent down and lightly kissed her lips before descending downward again. He cupped her breast in his hand bringing the hardened nub into his mouth and sucking hard before letting go and kissing the now sweaty skin under her breast. He raised himself up using both hands and gazed at her naked body, taking in the beauty of her golden skin. Joey watched him looking at her, his intense gaze making her feel desirable. Pacey had a way of looking at her that made her feel sexy instead of embarrassed, maybe it was the open desire or appreciation in his eyes and she loved him even more for that.

Pacey started making his way down her body ensuring not to miss any part of her as he kissed and nipped his way along. Joey had laced her fingers in his hair and the movement of his head as he kissed her seemed to radiate through her hands and arms making if feel as though they were one being. Pacey made his way to her mid-section and when he reached her belly button he looked up at her and probed it with his tongue. The feeling went straight to her core and her hips thrust forward and if he had touched her in that moment, she was certain she would cum. I love you Pacey Witter", she couldn't help saying.

I love you too Josephine Potter, you are the most beautiful thing in my life and I couldn't be happier".

His words took her breath away again and helped fuel her desire for him. The butterflies started up again as he continued his way down her body. Joey was wearing a pair of his boxers which he was pleased about and they were riding low on her hips, so without having to move them, he kissed her hip bones, then slid his tongue along the waist band. Joey knew what his destination was and was so ready for it that she raised her hips and started to lower the boxers. Pacey removed her hands which made Joey question her thoughts, but then he placed a hand on each hip and very slowly worked them down her body, kissing the skin as he went. Joey was surprised that he had this kind of patience and will power for a teenage boy, but then it was Pacey and she knew that everything he did, he did for her pleasure and not his own and if she weren't already madly in love with him, she would be now.

Pacey sat back staring at Joey and her nearly completely naked body, he took her right leg in his hand and bent it at the knee, releasing it from the boxers then caressed every inch of it with his hands before laying it down and moving to the other leg and doing the same. He did this without breaking eye contact with her and she nearly melted from the intense gaze in his eyes, it was mixed with love and desire, but nowhere was there a sign of lust which proved to her how much he loved her and her heart swelled again. She was overwhelmed with emotion and might have cried if she weren't laying here naked in front of him waiting for him to give her some release.

Pacey stared deeply into her eyes and made his way slowly down to capture her in another mind blowing kiss and instead of kissing his way down her body, he moved his fingers along her skin with his eyes following their movement, his intense gaze gave her goosebumps along the way. He finally reached his destination and he looked back up at her as he rested his chin at the apex of her thighs. May I taste you now" he said breathlessly.

Yes please" was Joey's response as she closed her eyes. Then his mouth was on her, he first kissed her inner thighs, moving up to where he had placed his chin and his tongue slid out and licked her silky skin, then sucked in giving her a hickey that only they would be able to see. It was like he was marking his territory, but Joey didn't mind one little bit because she felt that her heart truly belonged to him.

She was already on fire and the closer he got, the hotter the fire became.

Pacey raised her legs and lightly pushed them apart and after what seemed like an eternity Pacey slid his tongue along her opening and Joey's hips bucked toward him. He loved how reactive she was to his touch. He brought his finger forward and ever so softly pushed inside her feeling her heat surround it, she was so wet and ready, so he pumped it in and out a few times before removing his finger from her depths and coating her clit with her own juices. Joey let out a breathy squeal and tightened her hold on his head. He figured she had waited long enough so he rammed his tongue inside her swirling it around a few times, tasting her sweetness while his finger rubbed her clit and it made him dizzy with desire.

"Oh Pacey, oh Pacey ooohhh"

He removed his tongue and took her clit in his mouth sucking hard letting it rub lightly against his teeth. Joey's body raised up releasing her hold on him and fisted the sleeping bag. He could tell she was about to go over the edge, so he kept sucking on her clit until he felt her body freeze and she let out a long moan. He could feel her wetness coat his chin as he continued to suck on her clit and he didn't stop until he felt her body collapse back down and he could hear her panting above him. He released his hold on her and slid his tongue across her opening for a final taste before kissing his way back up her body to rest beside her.

Thank you Jo that quenched my thirst"

Joey was too out of it to respond and she was replaying in her mind what had just happened. It was the most amazing feeling. She thought the orgasm Pacey had given her before was incredible, but this was ten times more intense than the last one. Pacey Witter was a talented man for sure. In her haze she felt Pacey wrap his arms around her drawing her near and covered her naked body with the sleeping bag. She felt exhausted and satisfied as she drifted off to sleep.

Day Thirty-One

As the sun rose the following morning, Pacey and Joey started to stir. Joey woke up super thirsty and when she went to get up, she realized she was still naked "Pacey, can you get me some water, I can hardly swallow I'm so dry".

Pacey couldn't help the chuckle that came out of him as his mind went to other places, but felt his glib response back to her would not go over well, so he kept his thoughts to himself and rose to fulfill her request. Joey hastily put her boxers and tank top back on under cover of the sleeping bag and to Pacey's disappointment was fully dressed when he came back up with two bottles of water. "So how did you sleep"?

"Really good Pace, I don't think I moved all night"

"Don't I know it, the pins and needles in my arm right now is proof of that", he smiled at her "so how do you feel"?

Joey got a little shy, she wasn't sure if she could talk about what happened last night, but it was obvious that Pacey wasn't going to let their second night of passion go by without some discussion. "I think you deserve an A for your work Mr. Witter" and she blushed.

"Hmmm, an A huh, just an A" he teased.

Joey rolled her eyes, "well considering the last time you performed I thought it was an A+, but since you outdid yourself this time, I figured my grading was off a bit, so this way you have something to aspire to. Maybe next time you'll get your A+".

Pacey gave her a bright smile, "fair enough, I look forward to increasing my grade".

At that moment, they both heard a noise coming from the boat on the other side of the dock and they turned to see a middle aged couple stepping out from below deck. Joey's eyes nearly popped out of her head and she clasped her hand over her mouth with the sudden realization that they probably heard everything that went on last night. Her cheeks became a bright red as she looked at Pacey. Pacey of course couldn't help but be amused at her reaction, knowing full well what she was thinking. Joey glanced back at the other boat and her eyes met those of the woman who just glared at her. "Oh my God, oh my God Pacey" embarrassment written all over her face. "Did you see the look she gave me, oh my God, they heard everything". She buried her head in her hands, Pacey couldn't help but find only humour in it all.

"Pacey" she said sternly and threw her empty water bottle at him.

"Ahh come on Jo, she's just jealous. She only wishes she had experienced such a night with an incredibly handsome, talented man".

"You're delusional"

"And you're cute when you're embarrassed".

"Pacey, can we go now"?

"I thought you could cook me breakfast after I gave you a night to remember" he quipped.

"Like I said, delusional"

Day Thirty-Six

It was reaching dusk and Joey could see the lights of South Beach off in the distance which would be their last stop before they reach the Florida Keys. They had planned to stay there for a full day to take in the scenery and spend the day on the beach relaxing then spend another night in a Motel with reasonable prices before setting sail again. Joey was giddy in anticipation to get her feet back on solid ground again. As much as she loved sailing with Pacey, her legs were craving some much needed exercise.

"I can't wait to get some exercise after being cooped up on this boat for the past five days."

"You know Potter, all you had to do was tell me you needed something active to do and I would have been more than happy to oblige" Pacey wiggled his eyebrows suggestively and gave her a very charming naughty smirk.

"Paceeey" Joey whined as the redness started to reach her cheeks.

"So Jo, what do you want to do first when we get there? I was thinking we could go straight to the Motel and you could shower while I go out and wrangle us up some nourishment, whadda say?"

"That sounds heavenly Pacey", although they were able to take quick showers on the boat, the water was luke warm and the space was limited. Joey was looking forward to a nice long hot shower and planned to wash her hair twice. It just never quite felt clean enough given her daily dips in the ocean.

Joey gathered their belongings while Pacey secured True Love to the dock. They were lucky to get a room so close to the docks, so they didn't have far to walk and the Motel had its own central laundry area, so they had planned to go back and get the rest of their clothes to wash.

As Pacey re-entered the room, he could see steam coming from the bottom of the bathroom door and smiled thinking about how much Joey was looking forward to her shower. While she was in there, he had managed to go back to the boat and grab the rest of their things, order food and phone home to check in with both Doug and Bessie. Bessie chewed him out for not letting Joey call her instead, but he explained that she was back at the Motel and he was on a payphone which didn't change Bessie's mood at all, so he promised to get Joey to call her the next day.

Pacey too was anxious to get in and have a shower himself, his body was starting to feel a little weary from sailing the last five days straight. He sat in the chair and stretched his neck and shoulders, then started to fantasize about Joey being naked in the shower. He pictured the water spilling down on her long dark hair, travelling along the curve of her back and along her very well formed ass, droplets of water dripping from her pert breast. His thoughts were starting to affect him and he felt himself getting hard and he wished he had nerve enough to open the door and slip in and join her in the shower. He envisioned himself running soap along her body, washing every inch of her, every crevice on her body. He was brought out of his daydream by the sound of the bathroom door opening and that's when he realized he was now fully hard, he quickly crossed his legs so Joey wouldn't see his current state.

"Ohh that was amazing" Joey moaned.

"Fuck" Pacey thought "that moan did not help to get rid of his hard on". Now he couldn't wait to have a shower for a totally different reason, he needed to get rid of the tension in his groin and the only way to do that would be to get some release. "Whew" was all Pacey got out before Joey noticed the food on the table.

"I'm starving, do you want to wait until you have your shower to eat"?

"No, I'm hungry too and I don't want it to get too cold, I'll have my shower when we're done". That was perfect, he could sit here until his hard on went away and Joey would be none the wiser.

They feasted on fried chicken with fries, onion rings and diet coke until there wasn't anything left in the box.

"I'm stuffed, I think this would be a good time to have my shower" Pacey said and got up and headed to the bathroom.

Joey settled herself in bed after changing into her night clothes which consisted of her own tank top and a pair of Pacey's boxers which she had started to claim as her own much to Pacey's delight. She could hear the shower and started to think about Pacey and how he would look naked which is something she thought about on a regular basis these days. She thought about what he would look like naked with a hard on. She had seen him before but it was partially covered by his board shorts and she had seen his hard on tonight when she came out of the bathroom, but it was completely covered. She hoped he didn't catch her looking at it, but now she couldn't stop thinking about it and about him in the shower. Her fingers went to her lips as she recalled what it felt like to have his cock touch her there, she remembered how silky smooth he felt against her lips as she took him in her mouth. She began to fantasize about going in and watching him through the glass doors of the shower and how hot that would be or even if she joined him in the shower and pictured herself wrapping her hands around his very hard, very big….. Joey's stomach did a flip flop and she felt herself getting very turned on which seemed to be a daily occurrence of late.

"I've got to stop this or I'm going to jump his bones and scaring both of us" she thought to herself. As she became aware of her surroundings again, she thought she heard a groan from inside the bathroom, but didn't think anything of it. She then heard the shower turn off and thought she had better turn on the TV to distract herself or she'd be thinking about Pacey's naked body again.

Pacey came out of the bathroom refreshed, rejuvenated and without the previous tension in his body to find Joey watching a RomCom on the TV. He spread himself out on top of the covers and propped his head up on the pillows behind him, laying his hand on Joey's leg and without a word started watching the movie with her until he fell asleep.

When the movie was over Joey, who had been laying on her stomach toward the foot of the bed, turned around to ask Pacey if he wanted to watch something and noticed he had fallen asleep. She gently got up off the bed to retrieve the spare blanket from the closet to cover him, she then crawled into bed, turned off the TV and kissed him lightly on cheek, "good night sweetheart" she whispered and turned over and went to sleep.

Day Thirty-Eight to Forty-Eight

True Love pulled into the Keys at about 3:00 in the afternoon and Pacey and Joey were both excited and a little sad about reaching their destination.

"Well Jo we made it safe and sound, which is great".

"Yeah we did", Joey said without matching Pacey's enthusiasm.

"What's the matter, I thought you'd be happy to be off the boat for an extended period of time"?

"I am Pace, it's just that well it means our trip is half over and we are having such a great time, I don't like to think of it as having half of it behind us". Joey pursed her lips showing a little disappointment.

"Not halfway Jo, we still have two weeks here in the Keys before we head back, that's two whole weeks. A lot can happen in two weeks".

They had planned to look for some odd jobs to earn some money while they were there and although they planned to stay on True Love the whole time, they thought it would be nice to see if there was a park nearby so they could sleep on solid ground a few nights just to mix things up a bit and so that they could use the showers.

Joey found a job the very next day as a waitress at a very popular spot which is always so busy with Tourists this time of year that they jumped at the chance to hire her. Pacey got a job down on the docks unloading fish off of the boats that came in and the pay was pretty good, but the work was hard and he was pretty tired most days. He was able to take fish home whenever he wanted which saved them some money on food, but Joey wasn't all that pleased about eating fish every other day, so after a week she refused to eat any more fish while they were there. She wanted to fill up on Pizza and any other foods that is hard to come by while they are sailing. She found her new favourite thing was onion rings and hot turkey sandwiches, but she figured it was only because she was tired of eating fish.

After one especially tiring day, Pacey trudged back to the boat to find that Joey had already bought them some supper and was setting up the table, so they could eat. Pacey was hot, tired and cranky and nothing Joey said seemed to take him out of his funk. After they finished dinner, he washed up as best he could and went up on deck to stretch out and relax. Joey finished cleaning up the dishes and then joined him. He was propped up against the mainsail with his legs crossed and a diet coke in his hand.

"Hey you" Joey said with a smile.

"Hey, sorry I'm in such a mood, I'm just tired I guess".

"You know Pace, we have made enough money to get us back home and we're only here for another four days, so I say we quit our jobs and spend the next four days on the beach, frolicking in the water. You in?"

Pacey chuckled, "frolic, you want to frolic in the water"?

Joey rolled her eyes, "you know what I mean Pacey. We are on vacation and we took this amazing trip and if we can't enjoy every single moment of it, then what was the point of it in the first place? So I say to heck with the jobs and we act like we're teenagers for the rest of the trip".

"We ARE teenagers smart ass" Pacey said without malice and smiled.

"There's that smile I love so much, mission accomplished". Joey then went behind him and started massaging Pacey's shoulders and back trying to release some the tension he had. He let out a huge sigh which made her feel good to know that it was helping.

"You know, you could do that professionally Potter. Potter's House of Pain" he joked and Joey swatted his shoulder to which is response was a hearty chuckle, his bad mood long gone.

Day Forty-Nine

"The day was hot and sunny and Pacey and Joey decided to spend the day on the beach. They packed the usual, towels, sunscreen, snacks and drinks, Joey even took their book and had planned to read to Pacey while they lounged in the sun.

"Joey, I never did ask you what made you decide to run away with me for the summer? I mean I'm super excited that you did, but you had all but said no to being with me at Mitch and Gail's wedding and the next thing I know there you are professing your love for me and sailing off into the sunset. I can't say as I blame you," he joked, "but what did make you change your mind?" Pacey waited while Joey digested the question and didn't want to pressure her for an answer, but he often thought about it and thought it was a good time to ask. He watched her expression change from contentedness to a frown and was about to tell her never mind when she turned and looked at him with her crooked smile.

"You had already left the wedding and I was dancing with Dawson and he was talking about what we could do over the summer and with everything he mentioned, I thought of you and how I would have wanted to do those things with you and that you wouldn't be there and it made me feel empty inside. The more he talked, the lonelier I felt and I just wanted to get away from him. It's not that I didn't want to be with him" she quickly corrected herself, "as a friend of course, but it just didn't feel right and I thought about last summer and how I didn't feel lonely when Dawson left for the summer and I realized then that I was really going to miss you if you left and I just needed to see you. Maybe it was a last ditch effort to get you to stay, I don't know" she paused. "I mean when I went to see you on True Love, I clearly had no plan of action at all and had not thought about going with you when I was headed for the dock or I would have had a bag packed. But the moment I saw you, I knew I had to be with you and if that meant going with you then that's what I was going to do. Does that make sense at all Pace?"

Pacey gave her a shy look, "well yes and no, I mean I'm still at awe that you are really here with me and sometimes when I first wake up in the morning, I think it's all a dream and that I'm going to look around and you won't be there, but then I realize just how right this feels and I can't imagine my life any other way than to have you here beside me. I guess I still can't believe that you chose me." Pacey lowered his eyes like he does when feeling self-conscious about something. Joey reached over and cupped his cheek with her hand "how could you not see how much I love you? How much you mean to me and how much you complete my life Pacey?" She leaned over and caressed his lips with her own and whispered, "I love you Pacey J. Witter, I love you with all of my heart and don't you ever doubt that".

"I love you too Jo, more than you could ever imagine" and he took her in his arms and kissed her so tenderly, it almost brought tears to her eyes. She truly was in heaven, at least it felt that way being here with Pacey away from Capeside in their own little bubble. At that moment a couple of girls giggled as they walked past which brought Joey back to reality and she tore herself away from Pacey so fast, it was as if she had burnt herself. It both surprised and frightened her how she could lose herself whenever she was around him. What was it about Pacey that she would lose all thought, it was like nothing outside of him existed whenever she was in his arms. She never once felt this way with Dawson and she once thought she couldn't survive without Dawson in her life and now it was like he didn't even exist. Pacey stiffened when Joey jumped back from him not having heard the giggles from the girls walking by witnessing their make out session. "Are you ok Joey, did I do something wrong"? He asked.

Joey blushed and then smiled at him, "no Pace, you didn't do anything other than make me feel special, I just got a little too caught up in the moment and realized we weren't actually alone out here" she chuckled as Pacey looked over his shoulder and noticed some beach goers looking their way. "Well Miss Josephine Potter how about we pack up and go back to True Love where I can have you all to myself and then maybe you could have you way with me. I promise I won't put up a fight" he teased. Joey smiled at him and then started to gather up their belongings "maybe I want you to have your way with me, ever thought about that Mr. Witter"?

"Hey, I'm easy. Whatever gets your skin touching mine I'm all in, but I have to warn you I have made it my mission in life to do whatever I can to please you Potter. You just need to say the word". And on that note Pacey picked up their bags and reached out a hand to assist Joey to her feet as they headed to the boat.
