Joey stepped out of the bathroom fifteen minutes later, decked out in her dress and heels, and feeling a little more than uncomfortable. She made a vow to kill Pacey then charged into his room ready to give him a piece of her mind. Pacey wasn't in his room, but lying on his bed was a note with her name on it.
As Joey read the note her eyebrows began to knit together. The only thing written were instructions for her to meet him at a pier they had played at when they were younger.
Was he crazy? It was one in the morning and he wanted her to follow him on some wild goose chase. Joey huffed and made the quick decision not to go, but after a few minutes her curiosity got the better of her and she found herself walking out the Witter's front door.
Walking along the beach, Joey made her way towards the peir. Why was she even bothering to follow him? Pacey probably just had some elaborate joke planned out or something. Then she scolded herself for thinking that. Pacey could be a lot of things but cruel was seldom ever one of them, even to her.
Joey spotted the pier but she didn't see Pacey anywhere. She was about to turn around and leave but she decided to give him a little while, just a minute of two.
Once again Joey felt a strong arm encircle her waist and another one cover her eyes. She would have jumped or screamed but she knew it was Pacey. She could tell by his scent, a uniquely pleasant mixture of the ocean, Old Spice, and well...Pacey. Joey stiffened with the realization that she could identify him by smell alone, but after a moment she just chalked it up to the fact that she had known her her whole life. Yeah, that was it.
Pacey felt Joey's body tense but he didn't remove his arm. He just stood there breathing in the essence that was Joey. Pacey loved her smell, a unique combination of raspberries, and the ocean, and something else that was completely her. When he began to lead her toward their destination he felt her body go even more rigid.
"Relax, Jo. Trust me." he whispered in her ear, hoping that it would calm her nerves a little.
It didn't. Joey shivered when she felt his warm breath hit the back of her neck. She forced her body to relax agaist his and tried to ignore the jolt of elecricity that she felt when their bodies came in contact.
"Pacey, how much longer? I mean, is the eye covering really nessesary?" Joey whined after a minute.
"Yes it is, and you can stop complaining because we're here." He removed his hand and stepped away from her to observe her reaction.
