Joey ran her hands through her limp hair as she sat on the edge of Dawson's double bed; the sheets tangled around her bare waist, Dawson lying asleep next to her, and the realization of what she and Pacey had done that evening really playing back in her mind.

For the life of her she couldn't figure out why she did it- there he was, Audrey by his side and Dawson by hers, yet she couldn't take her eyes away from Pacey- not for a second!

…Granted, he did look very handsome in the navy blue tux, with the light blue shirt and navy blue tie underneath- and he'd styled his hair in that 'Julius Caesar' way again.

Dawson turned over in his sleep, and his arm reached out to Joey's side of the bed, where her sleeping body should have been.

She watched his arm fumble around, trying to find her warmth, and finally he opened one sleepy eye; "Jo?" he moaned.

For a moment Joey said nothing, her mind still stuck on Pacey, and how good he looked this evening- "Joey?" Dawson said again.

"I'm here," she whispered, as she slowly nestled her body back down on the bed beside him.

"What were you doing?" Dawson said huskily, his eyes closed again.

"Got a drink" Joey said quietly, as she lay, stiff beside Dawson, his arm resting on her flat stomach.

But as she answered him he had already drifted back to sleep, leaving Joey to stare up at the ceiling- her mind wandering once more.

Pacey rolled over, his sheets tangling around his body as he moved.

A part of him half expected to see her face beaming at him, right before they shared a good morning kiss- but Joey wasn't beside him, no body was.

Then the realization hit him- her and Dawson, him and Audrey- and then, him and Joey in a very crammed toilet stall in the ladies bathroom!

He smiled to himself as he remembered caressing her body, her smooth, olive skin, and kissing her sweet tender lips-

And then he winced as he reminded himself that she had gone home with Dawson that night- he stopped himself from thinking into what they might have done any further.

And then, a knock came from the front door.

Pacey groaned as he got out of his bed and pulled on his shirt and daggy pants which were lying on the floor.

"Coming" he said as he walked slowly towards the door; stretching his arms and legs, and scratching his head.

"Ello" he said as he swung the door open, his eyes still blurry- he was met with a passionate kiss, and hands began to stroke his hair.

"Mmm, morning breath- lovely!" Audrey said as she pulled away.

The smile on Pacey's face faded, as he realized who it was that was kissing him.

"Yeah, great to see you too Audrey- thanks for that great hello!" Audrey said sarcastically as she walked into Pacey's apartment.

"Nice to see you Audrey, thanks for the…" he paused for a second "….interesting hello" he said, watching her peel off her turquoise shirt and begin to unbutton her jeans.

"Err, what are you doing?" he said, shutting the door and staring at her almost half-naked body quizzically.

"Playing soccer" Audrey said, smirking at Pacey's bewildered face.

"…I missed you last night, Pace" Audrey said seductively as she walked towards him, and kissed him on the lips again.

Pacey tried to pull away, but she pulled her arms around his waist and kissed him even harder.

"Audrey" he said a little muffled, as he tried talking to her while she kissed him "I cant" he said finally.

Audrey pulled away; standing in her white tank top and blue boy leg undies, she began to get frustrated.

"What the hell is going on Pacey?You wouldn't come over last night, I come over here this morning- offer myself to you-!" she began to ramble on, not allowing Pacey to defend himself as she walked towards her pile of clothes and began to pull them back on.

"Any guy, would love it if their girlfriend came over at 8:00 in the morning offering themselves to them-!" she said angrily, pulling on her shirt.

"Yes, but I have to go to work-" Pacey started lying, he infact had the day off.

"Pacey! We're not talking about a space-shuttle launch, I'm talking about 10 minutes of you're time-!" she said, now fully dressed and standing in front of Pacey, she looked him up and down "Ok, with you, maybe 5 minutes" she said, and then pushed past him ready to let herself out.

He grabbed her hand and pulled her towards him, holding her in an embrace "I have work Audrey! I usually wouldn't turn you down" he looked down into her eyes, and she looked into his, at least she was listening to him now "How about you ravage me after work?" he said, grinning.

Audrey pulled away and playfully punched him in the chest "Oh no! If anything you'll be the one ravaging me Mr. Witter" she said.

Pacey smiled at her and nodded, "So I'll come over later" she said, looking towards the door, "Call me first" he said, as he began making plans in his head to meet up with Joey.

Audrey nodded, kissed him on the cheek and walked out the door.

Pacey sighed, and banged his head lightly against the closed door.

No good will come of this, he thought to himself as he replayed the mischief he and Joey had gotten up to over in his head again.

But, consequences and worst-case scenarios in mind, he couldn't help but smile to himself as he thought of her.

"Going so early? I thought you're first class didn't start till one?" Dawson said as he raised himself onto his elbows, and watched Joey dress hurriedly.

Joey turned around, a little startled; she hoped she could sneak out quietly before Dawson woke up.

She smiled at him, trying to cover up her haste "Well Audrey rang my mobile and asked me to pick some things up for her" she said as she looked around for her silver hoop earring.

"Sure you can't stay?" Dawson said as he pulled on some pants and walked towards her, tangling his arms around her stomach.

"No, sorry" she said, spinning around and kissing him quickly on the cheek.

Dawson released his hold on her, and sat on the bed, watching her search the floor for her light suede belt.

"Looking for this?" he said, as he lifted it up from beside his foot and handed it to her.

She smiled awkwardly and tied it around her waist; she thought she looked a little over-dressed in her baggy hipster black pants, slinky red satin top with the gold flower pattern down one side and small heeled black boots; she'd stop by her dorm before going to Pacey's, she thought to herself; and put on something more comfortable (something a little easier to take off, she thought wickedly to herself).

She bent down as she slipped her satchel bag over her shoulder, and kissed Dawson lightly on the forehead.

"Thanks for, last night" she said as she turned to leave.

"That's ok" Dawson said as she raced down the stairs "love you too" he whispered under his breath once he heard the door to his room slam shut.

Pacey was sprawled out on his couch, t.v remote in hand, he was madly channel-surfing.

Was he waiting for her? Was she even going to come? She hadn't said she was! Maybe last night was just a once-off thing? –A million questions were racing through his mind as he stared, blankly, at the images, which skidded by on the screen.

And as he heard the brisk knocking at his front door, he was in a moment of stunned shock, as he thought himself psychic as he had, just at that very second, wished she would come over.

Ah! But was it her? He thought as he raised himself from the sofa and walked toward the door.

After Audrey had come over he'd had a quick shower, slapped on some chord pants and a black t-shirt, and now looked half reasonable.

But as he opened the door, and looked into Joey's eyes, she thought he looked more than reasonable- he looked delicious, she thought!

His stunned shock was stretched out once more as Pacey looked into Joey's chocolate eyes; she was wearing a white-peasant skirt, revealing a little of her tanned legs, black slip-on sandals and an off-the-shoulder burgundy three-quarter top, with a turquoise flower pin on one side, showing off her equally tanned shoulders and neck.

Her wavy hair hung loosely on her bare shoulders, and looking into her eyes, Pacey wanted her more than ever.

"Pacey" she said, a little breathlessly, but composed herself and tried to look away from the muscle outline that was clear through Pacey's black t-shirt.

"Joey" Pacey said, leaning a little on one leg, trying to act cool, calm and collected (though on the inside his heart was racing).

They stood for a moment, in silence, not sure of what the other wanted

"Can I come in?" Joey asked, adjusting the strap of her satchel, which was digging into her shoulder.

"Of course, come in, come in" Pacey said, allowing her to walk past him.

But as she slid past Pacey, to enter his slick apartment, her arm lightly brushed along his chest, sending them both into shivers.

Pacey closed the door, and as he turned around Joey's evoking lips met his.

He hugged her slim waist, and lifted her a little off the ground, as their kiss deepened, and her arms wrapped comfortably around his neck.

Finally they pulled away, breathless and dazed.

"So, how you been?" Pacey asked after a moment silence.

Joey looked into his eyes, and gave him a goofy smile, which he returned.

They moved closer to one another, and their lips met once more, and this time, as Pacey lifted her up off the floor, he carried her towards his room...
