Chapter 10

Pacey's POV

"I had a great time at dinner tonight," I say. I had felt bad for avoiding Katie. It wasn't her that I was avoiding and she didn't deserve that.

I needed to make it up to her so I made dinner and I did have a great time. We talked about nothing and yet everything.

"I think we still need dessert," Katie says as we enter the apartment.

"I cook you a fabulous dinner and you want to ruin it with dessert?" I tease.

"Yes of course cause slaving over my dinner wasn't enough torture," She says laughing.

"I think I have some ice cream in the fridge," I say as I head to the couch.

"Oh I see I have to get it," She states, and then she added, "Do I have to get you a beer too?"

"Of course, I'm going to make you my slave," I reply.

"Well as long as it's only this kind of slave," Katie says as she hands me a beer and a bowl of ice cream.

"Where is your mind?" I ask.

"Where it always is," She replies.

"Really," I say suggestively, "well it looks like we have something in common."

"I didn't say it was in the gutter, like yours, you just inferred that," She replies to my comment.

"Well what do you expect?" I joke.

"Not much since I've gotten to know you a great deal more than I ever wanted," Katie says.

"Yeah well I know more about you…," I stop as I realize that I really don't know anything about her, but then again neither does she. Not wanting to be uncomfortable I continue, "I don't want to know more then I already do."

"Oh thanks," She responds. We had an amazing dinner and an amazing conversation. Then she gave me this look.

I can't explain it but I knew what it meant. I leaned in and kissed her. To my surprise she kissed back. We continue kissing, with each kiss getting more passionate. I reach for her shirt and pull it off with almost no effort. As I go for her bra she stops and pulls away.

"I'm sorry… I can't… it's… I'm going to bed, goodnight," Katie says as she picks up her shirt and basically runs up the stairs.

"Great," I mutter to myself. We had just gotten past the weirdness and I had to go and screw it up. I walk upstairs to go take a cold shower.
