CHAPTER TWO
Joey groaned slightly, rubbing her eyes she slowly looked around. Feeling something resting on the small of her back it took her an all of thirty seconds to work out it was Pacey's hand. Pacey's hand? Ruffling her hair she smiled slightly as Pacey leaned down and gently kissed her temple. She couldn't help but wonder what he was dreaming about, propping her head in her arms she watched him as he slept. This had to be the only time Pacey was quiet, he looked so peaceful and gorgeous. Yawning she slowly sat up attempting to disentangle herself from Pacey's hold,
" Morning Jo." Joey turned round and smiled as Jen waved at her," Sleep well?"
" If hearing Pace snore for most of it consitutes as a good night's sleep then yeah."
Jen smiled and teased," Don't give me that Jo, I know you like him."
" Excuse me? I do not nor have I either liked Pacey Witter in that way." Jen gave Joey her patent half smile before saying," Oh come on dont tell me you`ve never looked at his butt." Joey's eyes widened and a shocked expression came to her face.
" Jennifer Lindley!"
" What? It's every woman's right to check out the opposite sex even if they are friends with the guy in question and well Pacey's a fine specimen." Joey tossed the nearest pillow at Jen,
" God I don't think I want to imagine what else goes on in that mind of yours Jen and to answer your question I have never looked at Pacey's butt." Avoiding eye contact with Jen as she knew it was a load of crap, she frequently checked Pacey's butt out.
" Jo I see right through that ' He's just a friend' facade, it is so obvious to most normal people you have the hots for Pacey. Dawson doesn't notice it because well he still likes to feel he has some kind of hold over you but the way you look at Pacey, the way you two are it's so obvious."
Joey crossed her arms, blushing before arguing," This conversation is stupid, I do not have the hots for Pacey..I mean come on look at him." Swinging round she looked down at the sleeping profile of Pacey, whatever words she was going to say just didn't come out as his tousled hair touched his long dark eyelashes that flickered occasionally as if he was dreaming. Looking back at Jen she growled," Okay so maybe I like him a little, happy now?"
Jen smiled getting to her feet," Come on Jo, let's grab some grub before the boys wake up and maybe get some of that girl chat time in." Joey simply made a face at the mention of that which just made Jen laugh, leaving the room they didn't notice a fully awake Dawson who had heard every word of their conversation.
Dawson pushed a hand through his hair, looking up he met the groggy eyes of Pacey," Hey man, where are the girls?" Rubbing his face he frowned as Dawson just stared at him before he marched out, Pacey groaned before he laid back down," What's his problem?"
*************
Dawson pounded down the stairs, ignoring the," Good morning Dawson." he got from Jen and simply stormed out of the house. Joey frowned glancing at Jen," What's bugging him?" Jen wiped her hands,
" I don't know but I'll find out." Joey nodded and watched as Jen ran after Dawson. Joey finished making Cinnamon toast when she heard,
" Good morning Jo." Turning around she had to shift her gaze quickly from the vision of Pacey standing behind her in nothing but his boxer shorts," Morning Pace, any idea what's eating Dawson?" Pacey leaned against the doorframe, his eyes trailing over Joey's long slender legs before he replied,
" No idea, I woke up and he was just staring at me then when I said hey he stormed off. Guess he woke up on the wrong side of bed...whatcha got there?"
" Cinnamon toast and it's all mine before you ask." Joey looked across as Pacey was suddenly up close with a pleading look in his eyes, batting his eyelashes at her he clasped his hands together and sobbed,
" Oh Pretty please can I have some? You perfect example of womanhood and envy of every Goddesses eye." Joey laughed but batted him away as he pawed at her before he dramatically collapsed to the ground clutching onto her leg," Aww come on Jo, let me have some. You know you want to really."
Joey raised her eyebrows," Oh really? Do you have any idea how stupid you look Pace? If anyone came in they would think you a fool."
" It's worth it." Pacey insisted, Joey simply shook her head before handing him a slice which caused him to grin and as he got to his feet, he kissed her on the cheek and winked,
" You're a diamond in the rough Jo."
" You old charmer you, how many actual girls fall for these lines of yours?" Looking at him with a small smirk she wasn't expecting the answer she got,
" Not a one, haven't used them on any other girl because they wouldn't be fitting nor would they be appropiate." Joey couldn't stop a small blush from creeping up into her cheeks.
ELSEWHERE .....
" Dawson!" Dawson swung round and stopped as Jen skidded to a halt next to him taking deep breaths," What's wrong?"
" Nothing." Sitting down he looked across the creek, legs dangling off the side of the small pier.
" Don't give me that Dawson, what's wrong?" Dawson sighed bowing his head,
" I overheard you and Joey, about how she likes Pacey. It was just a shock, thought that maybe one day her and I could try again." Jen sat beside him, resting an arm around him giving him a reassuring squeeze before she explained,
" We all have to let go eventually Dawson, Joey is still your friend and she still loves you but just not in that way anymore and I highly doubt her and Pace are going to be rushing into anything any time soon." Dawson smiled before kissing Jen's head and sighed looking out across the creek.
**************
Joey was relieved Pacey had put his shorts on, it was less distracting to see a half naked Pacey than one only clad in boxer shorts. Pacey sighed, Joey turned to look at him sat on the counter before she asked,
" What's up?"
Pacey shook his head faking a smile," Nothing Jo, just thinking." Hopping up next to him she inquired,
" Anything I can do to help?"
Pacey leaned back till he was resting on his elbows, giving Joey a perfect view of his muscled chest so she quickly focused on her feet," Maybe if you could let me know what I could do to make the girl of my dreams fall in love with me...that would be something."
" I can try, what's she like? Any weird past things, baggage things like that?"
Pacey sat up, looking intently at her before he replied," She's great, funny, loving, beautiful inside and out and she has a certain charm that you can't help but falling in love with. One problem she sees me as just some other guy, no romantic interest in me and well she's pretty hot for another guy at the moment."
" She sounds nice except for the last part."
Pacey smiled to himself," Yeah she is, I would give anything just to kiss her." Joey smiled, glancing over at Pacey she stopped as his hand trailed up to stroke the side of her face, his thumb ran across her bottom lip," She just drives me crazy, everything she does, everything she is and I just can't stop myself anymore."
Joey felt his nose touch hers, slowly sliding alongside hers as his lips gently touched hers. She felt an instant spark, feeling his hand running along her chinline she shivered as his hand entangled in her hair. Joey ran her hands up his bare arms as they slowly pulled her closer, she felt goosebumps prickle all along her skin, his lips teased hers gently kissing them before enveloping them in a passionate but loving kiss. Pacey caressed every inch of her lips, making sure not to miss anything. He had to show her how much she meant to him, running his hands through her silky hair he deepened the kiss. Tongues became one as they began to kiss faster, neither daring to breathe in case it ruined this perfect moment.
" What the hell!!"
The pair pulled away from one another, both touched their lips before their gaze turned to the door. Dawson and Jen stood staring at them, Dawson looked furious and demanded again," What the hell is going on here?"
Pacey held up his hands," Woah chill out Dawson." Stopping for a second he snapped," What gives you the right to demand to know what's going on? When did you become the boss of either me or Jo?"
Dawson pushed Pacey back and snarled," Did you just force yourself on her? We all know you've had the hots for her since forever!" Pacey pushed Dawson back and shouted angrily,
" Don't you ever imply that! It's true I have liked Jo for a long time but I never did anything about it because you and her always had some weird thing going on but you know what Dawson, I don't regret what I did. I liked kissing her and I would do it again but never, never without her permission!" Turning to look at Joey he asked," Aren't you even going to help me out?"
" Pace.."
Pacey shook his head and stated sadly," I should have known, Joey and Dawson forever..always has been always will be. I was a fool to even think that Miss Joey Potter could ever like me in the same way she did the great Mr Dawson Leery..forget this...I'm out of here." With that he stalked off towards the door, shrugging off Jen's hand before he slammed the door shut and disappeared down the road.
" Joey?" Looking up Joey shook her head,
" I can't do this now Dawson, not now." With that she disappeared upstairs leaving Dawson with Jen, who when he turned to for answers simply shook her head and looked at the floor.
