Part 2: Heaven
Speeding down the road is a black BMW, probably going about 80 MPH,
which is not all unusual for the LA freeway. Inside Joey is siting in
the back seat watching the palm trees pass by, when Dawson's voice
shakes her from her thoughts.
"Do you want me to put in a movie?" Asked Dawson.
"Sure, that would be nice. Thanks."
Dawson smiles through the rear view mirror and puts a DVD in the player.
When the movie starts Joey Doesn't recognize it, but decides to watch
it anyway.
An hour later Joey hears some one calling her name which causes her to
wake.
"Joey, you awake?" Asks Dawson
"Uh, yea, sorry, I must be Jet-lagged. Where are we?"
"Were at your house, you were supposed to meet your father at a
restaurant named Heaven' ten minutes ago, but I thought we could drop
your bags off and you could freshen up."
"Thanks Dawson, I'll be done in a few minutes."
A couple minutes later Joey comes out fully refreshed to see Dawson
leaning against the car, full pound position (You people know what im
talking about. ; ) ) with the keys twirling in his hand while he looks
on in the distance with intense eyes.
"Well, im ready." Say's Joey.
"Cool."
Dawson opens the door to the backseat and closes it as soon as Joey is
in and takes his seat in the drivers seat.
"Ready to roll?" Asked Dawson.
"Hold on." Joey says as she gets out of the back seat and opens the
door to the passenger side and gets in next to Dawson.
"Better."
Dawson gives her an amused expression. "You flirting with the assistant?"
"It just felt wired sitting in the back seat of a car with the driver
being my age is all. Unless you mind..."
"Ma'am, any person who doesn't want a gorgeous girl like you sitting
next to them is stupid." Says Dawson as he pulls out of the driveway.
"One thing." Joey says.
"What's that?"
"Please stop calling me ma'am, it makes me feel old."
"Sorry, im just trying not to get fired." Dawson Jokes.
"I would never try to get you fired, unless you killed me, then I
might have to do something."
"I think I can handle that." Dawson says as a man in a red convertible
honks behind them talking on a cell phone. Eventually going around them.
"Everyone is always in a hurry around here."
"Thats exactly like it is in New York." says Joey.
Dawson reaches up and takes the DVD out of the player and hands it to
Joey.
"A gift. My movie." says Dawson.
Joey was surprised.
"That was your movie? You directed that?" Asked Joey.
"Yep, I also produced and co-wrote it with some help from my friends."
"It was really good." Said Joey.
"Well, thank you."
"I don't understand why someone who can make movies like that would be
my father's assistant."
"Well, your father is pretty good at what he does, and I thought by working with him I
could learn some things."
"How's that going for you?"
"Not so good."
They laugh.
"Well here we are, Heaven."
"Heaven?" Asked Joey.
"Yea, I don't know why the named it that. Go in, your father is
probably waiting for you."
"Ok, are you driving me home?" Asked Joey.
"Only if you want."
"I'd like that, well I'll see you later Dawson."
"Yea, bye."
Joey walks inside and looks around, as she guessed everything was
white, the curtains, the tables, the silverware, even the waitresses
were wearing white wings. And some of the tables had curtains around
them for privacy. This place was tacky, were's the color? She sat down
at a two person table waiting for her father.
15 minutes pass and he still hasn't come. She decides to leave. Joey
gets up and walks out, when she walks out she see's Dawson leaning
against the BMW in that same pound position as before. She walks up to
him.
"Well, he still hasn't come, I guess he's busy or something, again."
"Yea, he just called and said he had to stay to edit some scene's but
will see you tonight for dinner."
"Yea, watch him not be here tonight." Joey says as she gets into the BMW.
Getting into the car Dawson asks, "Joey, can I ask you a question?"
"Sure, what?"
"Why did you come to LA if you knew your father wasn't going to be
there most of the time?" Asks Dawson.
"You really want to know?"
"Yeah I do."
"Well because, I wanted to start over, in New York I went to a
boarding school, everyone one was snobby and stuck up, and I could
never stick up for my self, that and I could never cut lose. I was
always worrying about grades, or taking care of my Alcoholic sister,
Bessie, or scraping my best friend off the side walk after a party. I
was always taking care of everyone and making everyone else happy
except for myself. And I thought by coming here I could change, I
could become tougher and I could have fun, be a teenager, and not
worry about other people."
"Wow, now thats a reason. You know Joey, you're much smarter then you
give yourself credit for." Says Dawson.
"Why thank you."
"Well, how bout this. Tonight, after you have dinner with your father,
why don't you and me go to a club, im supposed to meet a couple of my
friends there anyway."
"I don't know..." Joey says.
"Come on, I can teach you how to cut lose, and forget about your worries."
"Ok, im in."
"Great, now lets get you home, you need to rest. We have a long and
fun night ahead of us." Dawson says giving her a wink.
And with that he speeds off, maneuvering himself well into traffic.
