Gretchen Witter couldn't believe her eyes when she saw him sitting in the café. It only been six months she didn't think she was ready to face him, but as she watch him sitting there talking she realize just what she was missing in here life. She misses starring at that face as he talked about his passion of film. As she watches his face she knew he had to be taking about one thing and only one thing. It was his passion for film. She figured that was the reason he had to be up here there was a Film festival going on he must have enter with out telling her.
There was a part of her that was feeling jealous as she watch him sitting there talking about what she thought had to be film. She knew that Jen was a close friend of his, but at the same time she felt like she should be the one sitting there. She felt it was her doing that kind of helped him go back into film. At the same time though no matter how much she said she was over Dawson she was glad that Joey wasn't the one sitting there tonight. She would have felt hurt had she seen Joey sitting at the table across from Dawson. She would have felt like Dawson just ran back to Joey once she had left town.
"Hey Witter are you going to stand there all day or are you going to work?" An older man about forty said from inside the kitchen.
"Hey Phil would you mind if I work in the kitchen tonight doing dishes? I really don't feel like dealing with people tonight," Gretchen said. She would rather wait until tomorrow night to let Dawson know she was here.
"Does this have something to do with you young man and the blonde sitting in the corner?" Phil asks as he cut up the rest of the carrots that he had been working on.
"No, not at all," she said walking back towards the closet to get a shirt she had left here for when she did jobs like this.
"I know when you lying, but I won't press the issues. You just better know that the two of them are going to be here tomorrow night, and you are working the bar," he said putting the carrots into the frying pain.
"I know," said Gretchen as she turns the water down. At least with her back to the café she wouldn't have to look at them. She knew nothing would every happen between Dawson and Jen. Dawson had told her that she didn't have any feeling for Jen any more then friendship feeling, but then at the same time he had once said that about Joey and looked what had happen there. She quickly took her mind off of that by thinking about the task at hands.
She had been washing the dishes at the restaurant for Gail she it was just after the rush hour and the washer had went him sick. She was scrubbing this one pot that Bodie had made some sauce in. Her mind had slip away for a while thinking about how she wanted to be in Dawson's arms later tonight as they watch the stars together on the beach.
She was brought out of the daydream by someone putting their arms around her waist. "You know you look so sexy doing dishes," Dawson said in her ear so only she could hear. "You like so sexy that right now all I want to do you keep you all to myself tonight. Doing anything you want to do?" She felt her body go almost limp in his arms at the moment something she would never forget.
"Witter you're going to keep scrubbing that pan till there nothing left?" Phil asked bring Gretchen back to life.
