I am so sorry that this took so long to update. My muse on vacation but she
is back. I don't own the the Dawson Creek characters. And now back to the
story....I am using some events from this past season yet not necessarily
in the way they were shown. Hence what happens in this chapter.
"Pace," Joey called as she came onto the boat. Getting know answer she smiled beginning to set up her surprise. A few hours later the boat was filled with candles making the water sparkle.
The smells of lasagna and garlic bread drifted off the boat and greeted the tired and shook up Pacey. Confused he headed towards his home wondering what was going on. The sight of Joey in a long black dress, a string of pearls round her neck several inches above the neckline greeted him. His breath caught in his throat as he once again realized how beautiful she is. He walked over to her and pulled her into his arms.
Joey could feel him shake as he held her. "Pace, what's wrong?" She asked worried.
"Nothing now that I'm here." He told her. He knew that she was not satisfied with that answer as she pulled away from him and crossed her arms over her chest. Taking a deep breath he decided to give her what Goldman would call 'the good parts version'. "My car broke and Alex gave me a ride home. She went a little crazy and we got into an accident but I'm ok and so is she I guess." He reached again for her hand. "Now, that I'm with you I am fine. Don't let this ruin our night, please Jo." He pleaded with her pulling her gently towards him.
Joey felt herself melting against him as he kissed her, slowly rubbing his hands down her back. Pulling away she led him downstairs and sat him down at the table. Ignoring his look she sat across from him. "We are eating this dinner," she told him.
Pacey looked at the food then hungrily at Joey, "I'd rather skip to desert," he told her honestly.
Joey only laughed before passing Pacey a plate full of lasagna before beginning eating herself.
After they were done eating the couple went and cuddled on the couch. Content to just relax in each other arms. Pacey held Joey tighter then usual the events of the car ride still close in his mind. For her part she was content just to be held as her mind wandered to her final project for Wilder's class.
After a while Pacey noted the way Joey seemed a bit heavier in his arms. Glancing down he saw that she had fallen asleep listening to the beat of his heart. Not wanting to wake her, he shifted very slightly on the couch so neither would wake with a stiff neck and fell asleep as well.
