Joey curled up next to Pacey, nestling her head on his chest while he stoked her hair slowly and gently.
They stayed that way for a while, simply enjoying the pleasure and simplicity of one-another's company.
"I forgot how much I missed this" Joey finally said, as she nuzzled her head into Pacey's chest.
He murmured in agreement "I forgot how right this felt" he said finally, enjoying the comfort of her warm body beside his.
She bought her chin onto his chest, and met his gaze as he stared at her head lying on his chest, and she smiled sweetly.
"Breakfast?" he said, not removing his eyes from hers.
"Pace! It's 12:00" she said, smiling.
Pacey turned and looked at the clock on his bedside table "Brunch then?" he asked.
Joey sighed, and put her head back onto his chest "I'm not so hungry" she said.
Pacey began stroking her hair again "Me neither" he said, and they went back to their silence, appreciating their surroundings, and company, and eventually drifted off to sleep.
Pacey stumbled out of his doorway in only his chequered blue boxers.
Joey heard him walking into the kitchen and spun around "Sexy" she said, smiling coyly.
"You too" he said, looking her up and down, while she stood, spatula in hand, wearing only his light blue shirt which she must have picked up from his bedroom floor; it was far too big for her- and he smiled.
"I forgot how good you're clothes look on me" Joey remarked, turning back around to flip a pancake in the pan.
Pacey wrapped his arms around her waist and began kissing her neck lightly "And how good you're clothes look on my floor" he mumbled.
Joey let out a giggle and then lightly elbowed him in the stomach.
"Sit" she said, and Pacey did as he was told, taking a seat at his kitchen table.
Joey placed a plate of pancakes in front of him, and then some syrup.
"I could get used to this" Pacey said, kissing Joey on the cheek as she sat down next to him to start on her plate of pancakes.
Joey smiled and their eyes met for a moment "What is this Jo?" he asked unexpectedly.
Joey sighed and looked down at her plate, "Pancakes" she said, smiling uneasily.
"I'm serious Jo- what are we doing?" he asked her.
"Can we write up the pros and cons of our found again relationship, after we eat?" she asked, looking into his eyes again.
He smiled warmly "Sure" he said, and they began to eat.
Once they'd finished, Joey took up the task of washing the dishes, and handing them to Pacey to dry.
"Last night was, weird" Joey said while they worked.
"That's one way of putting it" Pacey replied.
"I don't know what it was, but, I just had this feeling when I saw you"
"Was it the Caesar thing again? Cause I know that always used to turn you on!"
"Pace!" Joey smiled at him while passing him the last plate "It wasn't just that-" she began "I saw you, and, all these feelings swelled up inside of me and I-" she searched for the right way to put it.
"Remembered" Pacey, said, finishing off her sentence.
Joey pulled the plug from the sink, leaned up against the basin and looked at him "Yeah" she said simply.
Pacey smiled "What we had, nothing has come close to it" he said, finishing off the last plate and piling it away into a cupboard.
Joey hesitated for a moment "Had, should be the operative word there" she said.
Pacey stopped piling, put his cloth down and looked at her "So, where do you want to go with this?" he asked her.
Joey sighed, and watched as Pacey took a few steps towards the kitchen table and sat down on one of the seats.
"I don't want to hurt him again Pace-" she began "I cant, I think a part of us is still recovering from last time", she turned away from Pacey's serious gaze.
"I don't want to hurt him either Jo, and I couldn't dream of hurting Audrey!" he said, "But this-" he paused; losing the words he had in mind.
"Feels so right" she said quietly.
Pacey sighed, and leaned back in his chair "So, lets talk about this" he said simply.
"Ok-" Joey began, but as she looked up at the clock on the wall, which read 2:30, she began to panic.
"Pacey! My classes started an hour and a half ago- I have to leave-!" she said, as she walked briskly towards Pacey's room, and began scrambling around for her clothes.
Pacey followed her, calmly walking to his room, "You can't blow off classes for one day?" he asked her, leaning against the door frame, watching her pull on her skirt quickly.
As she walked past him, and headed for the door, she kissed him quickly- but he pulled her waist into him and deepened the kiss.
Joey pulled away "I have to go" she said, unconvincingly.
"Well ok, say goodbye to this fine piece of man meat!" Pacey said, as he watched her walk towards the door.
Joey turned around, looked at him in his daggy chequered boxers, and smiled at him; "save some for me later" she said, as she turned to leave.
Pacey beamed to himself "Will do!" he said as she left his apartment.
