"What do you think you're doing?" Doug said. Right after Jen and Joey had left, Doug had decided that this was the time for a big brother, little brother discussion.

"Moving back in." Pacey said hopping back on the couch (at this point he had put on a t-shirt.)

"I knew you were going to move in sooner of later. But what I meant was what do you think you are doing with Miss Potter?" He clarified.

"Doug, I'm sorry. Look, Joey and I came to a really important decision for our future." Pacey stated.

"Whoa. Whoa! Wait just a second. First of all. I'm assuming the important decision wasn't the fact that both of you decided that it was a good idea to fornicate your teenage lust on my own bed." Doug enraged.

"Yeah. Sorry about that bro." Pacey said with a smile.

"Yeah. You'll be washing my sheets on the way to school tomorrow." Doug insisted.

"Of course." Pacey muttered.

"Second of all when have you and Joey been together? As in a couple?" Doug wondered.

"Well, you see… you're gonna have a kick out of this when you find out that… Joey missed me along. Ever since, I left. She's wanted me along." Pacey said in a chuckle.

"Really." Doug said.

"Absolutely." Pacey assented.

"Wow. So what's the deal with Dawson and Joey? The last I heard was that they were together." Doug affirmed.

"Yeah. Well she broke up with Dawson. She chose me man…. The only thing is that he doesn't know about me and her being involved sexually and emotionally." Pacey finished under breath.

Doug however heard him clearly, "What? Why doesn't he know?"

"Joey doesn't want to tell him. Not yet. We're going to creep into this slowly. One thing I learned last year is that things can't always be rushed." Pacey recollected.

"And the other thing that you learned last spring was that you can get hurt as bad the next guy." Doug reminded.

"Are you worried about me Doggie?" Pacey joked.

"No. I just don't want a tearful sixteen year old boy moping around my place just because some girl broke his poor pathetic heart." Doug teased.

"Trust me Doggie. I think I know what I am doing. And she's much more than some girl." Pacey said in an act. The truth was he took what Doug said seriously. What if he did get hurt from this?

Author Note: I love all the reviews! The more the review you guys summit.. The more frequent I will update. So if I get 10 reviews I'll update tomorrow. I would especially thanks paceyjoeytruelove, and nursechrism. And they of course get a reward for all the reviews. I'll email them chapter 19 and it is the best. So just for all you reviewers, Chapter 19 is the next step in Dawson and Joey's relationship. Will she break up with him. Will she sleep with him? Or will she continue to lie? If I receive plenty of reviews, I'll update ASP.
