BACK IN THE DAY
Joey stood on the balcony letting the cool wind wash over her body. She closed her eyes and leaned her head back. A pair of arms snaked round her waist and a head lent on her shoulder, she wrapped her arms round his head, turned slightly and kissed his temple. She smiled to herself.
"All ready?" she asked, breaking the silence. He nodded, resting his chin on her shoulder. He pulled away, slapping her playfully on the bottom, making her giggle.
"Come on Potter, let's take the boxes out!"
Joey walked into the living room and sighed, the place was empty. The removal men had taken the majority of the furniture round to Joey's house, all that was left was packed into the boxes that were all over the floor. She picked up the box that said 'photos' and made her way down to the car. Pacey was piling the boxes into he car.
"Well, this is it Potter. We are finally moving in together, who'd have thought?" he smiled at his girlfriend, taking the box from her arms, he kissed on the forehead. "I love you, you know."
"I love you too Pace." She remembered the day she had told him she loved him, standing on the dock.
******FLASHBACK******
JOEY: I think I'm in love with you.
PACEY: You think you are, or you know?
JOEY: I know it. I've know it since the moment we kissed, and maybe even before that. And as scary as it is, I don't want to deny it anymore. I don't want to run from it or let it run from me.
PACEY: So what are we going to do here?
JOEY: I'm still not gonna ask you to stay.
PACEY: I see...
JOEY: Because I want to go with you.
PACEY: Wait a second... are you crazy?
JOEY: I want to stop standing still. I want to go forward. I want to go with you, Pacey.
PACEY: What about Bessie and the B&B -- they need you.
JOEY: Not as much as I need you.
*******~~~~~~~~~~~~~**********
Everyone was laughing and joking as they sat round the table. Pacey was passing a huge pile of potatoes to Jack, as Andie was ducking under the table, playing peek-a-boo with Jake.
Dawson sat and watched his friends. Mike and Joey were laughing at something Molly had said, his wife was beaming as she played with Jake, Pacey was talking animatedly to Jack about a recent customer and Jen and Doug were in quite conversation. Dawson leaned over and kissed Andie on the head. She turned and smiled at him, and he smiled back.
A clinking of glasses caused everyone to look up. Mike was standing at the head of the table.
"I'd just like to say a few words," he said, as everyone looked at him expectantly. "First of all, I'd like to say thank you to our host, Mr Pacey Witter, for closing down his restaurant for one night, so that we can all eat here. The food has been great so far - I can't wait for dessert!!" He laughed and Pace did a mock bow. "Anyway, while we are all here together, I'd like to make a small anouncement." He turned and looked at all the expectant faces, all his friends watching him. He took hold of Jen's hand and turned back to his friends. "Jen and I would like to announce our engagement." he said it quickly so that it took a minute for everyone to grasp what was going on. Then chatter erupted.
"Congratulations!" said Joey, wrapping them both a big hug, "I am so happy for you guys!" Everyone was laughing and hugging each other.
"I think this calls for some champagne!" said Pacey, opening a bottle of Moet.
"While we're all here, " Jen said, holding her hands in the air, "Joey, Andie, I would be more than honoured if you two will be my bridesmaids."
"Oh Jen," said Andie, tears in her eyes, "I'd love to!" She hugged Jen as Joey also accepted.
"Oh and Jack, I want you to be my Maid of honour. I know it's not traditional, but you are my best friend and I would be so happy if you would do it. Don't worry honey," she said giggling at the shocked look on Jack's face, "you won't have to wear a dress!"
Jack got up and hugged her. "Jen," he said, holding her close. "You really are something else!"
Joey stood on the balcony letting the cool wind wash over her body. She closed her eyes and leaned her head back. A pair of arms snaked round her waist and a head lent on her shoulder, she wrapped her arms round his head, turned slightly and kissed his temple. She smiled to herself.
