Right before Christmas – London

Joey sighed, trying to focus on the task she had at hand, which was very simple indeed, just reading some old books…but it seemed harder as the minutes passed by…It had been 3 days since Pacey last called her, making her feel uncomfortable…She trusted him, but this long distance relationship thing was killing her, NY was a big city, full of beautiful women ready to jump in a charming guy like her boyfriend…And now three days of no words at all, and right before Christmas…She missed him, but she had to come back, after the wonderful summer they had, to finish her things, but for the first time she was really scared. How long would take him to find an attractive woman that would be near him, not the whole Atlantic apart? Decided not to give in to such depressive thoughts she headed to a nearby café to buy some cappuccino. Completely absorbed in her thoughts she missed the tall guy in suit that was coming in the opposite direction, pouring all the coffee on him.

"I'm so sorry, sir…" She looked surprised when she felt the strong arms around her.

"God, Potter, I knew you hated this suit, but not this much…"Pacey was looking at her, amused.

"Pacey? What? How?" She was confused. "Why haven't you called?"

"Jo, I just wanted to surprise you, just that…Is there anything wrong?" she could see in his eyes the same doubts she had earlier.

"No…I'm happy you're here...I missed you, Pace."

"No welcome kiss?"

"Better not...we shouldn't be kissing on the street...you know what happens when we kiss after long times without seeing each other…"

"Jo?" He was doing it again...the puppy eyes thing.

"Ok, ok, you big baby…"She smiled and gave him a quick peck on the lips.

"I crossed the Atlantic just for this? I'm going back to NY right  n…" He was caught off guard with Joey kissing him in a way that only she could, so sweet, and full of love, passion and longing…They stared at each other, until both started to laugh. Joey grabbed his hand taking him along, back to her apartment.

Once there, door locked, they couldn't hold themselves, kissing, hugging, revealing in each touch how much they missed and needed each other. When they fell onto her bed, Pacey started to laugh.

"What? Why are you laughing?"

"I just realized that we didn't even talked and we are here, on bed"

"Pacey, I haven't seen you since August, why waste time?"

"Good point , Josephine, good point…"He started to kiss her again.

Later that day

Joey lifted her head that had been resting on Pacey's shoulder. He was still sleeping, his face looking much like when he was a kid, tired from the trip and from their love making…She couldn't believe how long took her to realize that no place in the world would be better then this, his arms, the soft sound of his heart beating beneath her, and amazed her how he was always there…A long time ago he thought he didn't deserve her, but now the only thing she could thought was that was just the other way around. A smile came to her, when she felt his hands wandering on her back…he was awake.

"Hey, already awake?"

"I can't sleep that much, when I have this gorgeous woman in my arms…" He kissed her gently.

"Hmmm, flattering, Mr. Witter, really flattering…"

"It's absolutely the truth, Jo…Happy?"

"Yes...I thought you had forgotten about me…wouldn't even send me a greeting card…"

"I couldn't forget you, Joey...and it's been only 3 days, sweetie…"

"It's an eternity when I don't talk to you…"

"And right now you're not only talking…and instead of a simple greeting card, I brought you a gift."

"A gift? Will I have to wait until Christmas?"

"If you are a good girl, maybe I'll consider giving it to you sooner…"

She kissed him, a long kiss, her hands on his face, and then whispered:

"Is this enough for a good girl?"

"Yes, it is." He left the bed, looking for something inside the pocket of his discarded jacket, while Joey just stared at his naked body, smiling.

"What?"

"You do have a nice ass, you know?"

"On that comment, here is your present…"

"Plane tickets?" Her mouth dropped when she read the destiny: Paris.

"Well, it seemed a good idea, you, me, Christmas and New Year in Paris...Do you like it?"

"Liked? I loved it, Pacey." She didn't know why, but the intense way he was looking at her gave her a feeling that he was up to something else, but she put that on the  back of her mind…she was finally fulfilling her dream of going to Paris with the man she loved.
