School ended a week ago and Joey was bored out of her mind. Pacey was supposed to come home that day but he called earlier and said he probably wouldn't make it. Joey decided to invite Charlie over.

It was one in the afternoon and Joey had to go to work at Shark yacht club. She was buttoning her shirt and they wouldn't button. Charlie was sitting on her bed talking to her. She got fed up and growled. Charlie looked at her.

"Joey, what's wrong?"

Joey stopped and turned to face Charlie.

"My stupid shirt won't button, my hair won't stay, my finger nail broke, and today is my two month anniversary with Pacey and he isn't even here!" (Joey said that line fast)

Joey sighed and put back her head. Charlie motioned for Joey to sit on the stool in front of him. She sat down and he started to massage her shoulders. Joey started to feel better.

"Thanks Charlie."

"No problem, anything for my best bud. So is that all that went bad?"

Joey felt herself getting tense again. "Yeah, all that and I have to see Melody Shark in an hour."

"My dear Joey, don't let her get to you. As for the buttons, I suggest you invest in a zipper. The buttons are much too advanced for you."

Joey reached behind Charlie and grabbed a pillow. She hit him over the head. When Joey got up Charlie helped her with the buttons and said that he would drop her off before going to Dawson's house.

Joey was at work and was really busy. When she found a minute that she could breathe Melody got on her case.

"Uh excuse me," Joey turned to face melody who was talking to her, "yeah, Jenny my parents don't pay you to just stand there. I'm sure someone needs a refill."

Joey gave her the most evil eyes. "My name is Joey not Jenny."

Melody rolled her eyes. "Whatever, it's not like I care. Go find something to do."

Melody walked away and Joey sat back down because she was leaving in five minutes.
Joey had to walk home because Pacey wasn't back yet to drive her. She felt so bad. The whole day was bad. Pacey didn't call again like he said and Joey was going to be alone in the B&B all night long.

Right when Joey opened the door and put down her stuff. She pressed the answering machine button. No messages. This ticked her off. She yelled at the machine like Pacey could hear her.

"Damn it Pacey! I had such a bad day. Why didn't you call?"

"I thought I would surprise you instead."

Joey whipped around. Pacey was standing in the door way with flowers and a box in his hands. He stood there and smiled.

"Pacey you're back!" Joey ran to him.

"Yeah, I just got bac."

Joey cut him off with a kiss. He still held the box and flowers but wrapped his arms around her. Joey was kissing him so much he couldn't talk. He tried talking during kisses but it didn't work. Joey got fed up and told Pacey to shut up. He did that.

Pacey dropped the items he was holding to the ground and held Joey tighter. Joey backed towards the couch and dropped down. Pacey got on top of her. Things started to heat up. He got his shoes off without stopping. They kept kissing for a few minutes. Joey never wanted Pacey so bad before. She pulled off his shirt and they started kissing again. Pacey reached down and started to unbutton her shirt. One button was stuck. He made a joke, undid it, and started to kiss her again. After about five more minutes Pacey reached behind Joey's back and tried to take off her bra. The phone rang. They stopped kissing and Joey got up and pulled on her shirt. When she was on the phone she buttoned it back up and tossed Pacey his shirt. He looked at her and put on the shirt. She walked back and sat on the other side of the couch. Joey wasn't talking.

"Are you okay Jo'?"

"Do you have protection?"

That caught Pacey off guard. "What?"

"We almost had sex Pacey. If the phone didn't ring we would have. I want to know if you have a condom with you."

Pacey stood up and reached into his back pocket. He opened it and took out the condom. "I got it from school. I put it in there and never took it out."

Joey smiled and Pacey picked up the flowers and box and gave them to Joey. Joey opened the box and a teddy bear with an I love you shirt was in it. Joey and Pacey didn't have any physical contact until they pecked good night. Neither of them could sleep that night. Joey went the next day to get some advice from Jen.

"Hey Jen, can I ask you some personal questions?"

"Shoot."

"Did you and Sam start having sex yet?"

"Uh, yeah we did."

"How long did you wait before you first had sex?"

"We waited until our ten month anniversary."

"Oh." Joey looked down.

"Joey did you and Pacey have sex?"

"No but we got into making out and we went a little farther than usual."

Jen started to smirk. "How much farther?"

Joey looked up at Jen's face. "Both of our shirts were off and he started to take off my bra when the phone rang."

"Oh, don't go by me. I had sex with a guy after the first date once. You should have sex when you're ready."

"Jen, I want my first time to be more than just sex. I was ready last night but I'm not sure anymore."

"Your first time can't be just sex because you guys love each other. When you're ready you'll know."

Later that night, Joey and Pacey got together again. They decided to watch a movie in Joey's room. A slow song started playing in the movie. Pacey got up.

"Would you dance with me Josephine?"

Joey took Pacey's hand and got up and danced with him. During the song they started kissing.
They ended up on the bed. Once again Joey took off his shirt and he took off hers. This time it was a zipper shirt. After another minute Pacey reached behind her and undid her bra. He got it all the way off of her this time. Joey knew this wasn't right. Joey pulled away and got off the bed. She picked up her bra and shirt and put them back on.

"I'm sorry Pacey."

"Why are you sorry?"

"I'm not ready to have sex yet."

"That's okay. It's better that you stopped it now before we couldn't stop and after you would regret it."

"You're not mad?"

Pacey motioned for Joey to come to him. She sat next to him. "No, of course I'm not mad. I like that you know what you want and what you are ready for."

"Are you ready to have sex?"

"Yeah, I am, but I don't want to force you into anything. I want you to decide if and when we have sex."

"You're not scared?"

"Am I scared of having sex? No I'm not. I'm terrified to death about what will happen afterwards though."

"You shouldn't be scared of that. Everything will be okay."

Pacey cupped her face in his hands and kissed her. "I love you Jo'."

Joey smiled and knew that if and when they had sex that everything would be fine. Joey told Pacey that she loved him and they kissed again. She never wanted the day to end because all the rest of the week she will have to see Melody Shark at shooting and at Cinderella class. She enjoyed flirting with Pacey and always called her Jenny. She would have to face Jack too.
