Author's note: hey everyone! I know it has been along time since I've
updated but I'm out of school finally! I plan on updating more often. I am
going to take this story past the five months in the house. The next
chapter after this one will be the last for the Seattle house. I don't know
how it works on the real show but once all of the people get back home the
"real world Seattle" will air. Their reactions to what has been aired will
be shown. Thank you for the reviews, they really mean a lot. Sam, when the
setting goes back to Chicago, I will have a different character have the
accent you miss so much, not Pacey. Please keep reading and reviewing.
Thanks!
Disclaimer: I don't own the real world, the main characters or the song. I don't own a lot of this story sadly.
Summary: Andie is coming to Seattle! All will be fine at first but a key word for this visit is change.
Joey sat at the kitchen table in her pj shorts, cami and fuzzy blue slippers. She slowly lifted her red mug up so the rim touched the top layer of skin in her lower lip. The freshly ground coffee aroma slyly sneaked up her small nose and caused a slight smile to form in the corners of her mouth while her brown eyes inched closer together in satisfaction. With a flick of the wrist, the hot smooth liquid heaven poured down into her willing mouth. In a quick gulp, the liquid traveled down her throat to satisfy the rest of her tired body. Joey set the mug down on the fine wood counter so a drop of coffee made a ring that cooled off once touched by wood. Her hands formed tight fists while her sad looking eyes stared out of the crystal clear glass of the window watching the cold big drops of rain trickle down the rainbow colored sun chair and land in the small pool that formed.
"I'm going now Joey so you'll be alone until Pacey gets back," Jack said slipping on his coat and holding an umbrella.
Jack Smiled sweetly then opened the door. He couldn't wait to be outside. There was something about the rain that made him smile. It did the same to Joey, maybe that's why they get along so well. To most people rain is sadness and makes them want to cry. That isn't the case to Jack. There always seemed to be this hidden magic in rain. The smell, the sound, the feel, all of it could make him want to sit on the porch and smile as the raindrops came crashing down upon him. Jack told Joey to have a good day.
Joey nodded her head but didn't turn to face him. When she heard the door click shut a huge grin danced along Joey's face. It's been a month since Joey and Pacey got back together and still no one knew. She liked it that way. Sure, she would love to tell the whole world that she loves Pacey and he loves her but Joey enjoyed privacy. Besides, Joey did tell the world: she just didn't tell the people in the house. The confessional is the best way to reveal secrets but still keep them too. Joey shifted her eyes to the cuckoo clock in the kitchen. 2:42. any minute now Pacey would walk into the house and ask who was in. it's been a new routine lately. Joey lifted herself from her chair and stretched out her arms. She slid her self down into the living room. Joey closed her eyes and plopped down on the puffy red couch. 2:51. still no Pacey. Joey started to get a little upset that Pacey was late. She started to twist her hair with her fingers when she heard the floor behind her creak. Before Joey could turn around she felt a pair of hands run down her arms.
"Are we alone?" the voice asked.
Joey tried to scowl but she couldn't help smiling. "Yes we are but it doesn't matter because you are late." Joey stood up and watched Pacey move in front of her.
"I'm sorry I'm late Jo but it started to rain and there was traffic."
"Don't lie to me Witter, there is never traffic." Joey couldn't look at his eyes and not smile.
"Okay, so maybe I fell asleep," Pacey got on his knees and put his hands together like he was praying. "But please don't take away my kissing privileges. I need those!"
Joey looked down at Pacey and tried to hide a smile. She was unsuccessful. "No Pacey, it's too late. I won't do it." Joey shook her head and sat back on the couch.
Pacey noticed that Joey couldn't look him in the eyes and that she had a slight smirk forming. He crawled over to the couch and stood on his knees. Pacey reached up and pushed Joey's hair behind her ear. Pacey put his lips right next to her ear. "I have ways of making you surrender." Pacey whispered in her ear then he kissed it.
Joey could feel her body being covered in goose bumps as Pacey made a trail of kisses down her leg. Her body was willing to give up but her brain was in charge and made sure that she got reminded of the sweet satisfaction that Pacey can give her. Once Pacey kissed the back of her ear Joey couldn't handle it anymore.
"Okay, okay. You win. Now will you please just kiss me!" Joey felt as though she might burst if he didn't kiss her soon.
Pacey smiled wide at his victory then stood up and sat next to Joey. Pacey teased her a little while he looked into her eyes and reached for her hand. He could see Joey pleading with him to kiss her in her eyes. Pacey leaned over and pressed his lips over hers. It amazed him that her lips were always soft. It also amazed him that every time he kissed her it felt like a first kiss. Joey wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him closer. They stayed like this for a while until Pacey moved his lips from her lips to her neck. Joey didn't want this feeling to stop but she blurted out something.
"Do you realize that we go at it every time we're alone like rabbits?"
Pacey stopped kissing her neck, sat back and smiled. "No we don't Jo."
Joey rolled her eyes. "Okay Mr. Einstein. How can you say what we are doing now is not like rabbits?"
"Easily. That sentence "going at it like rabbits" always refers to sex. You don't want to have sex so then we aren't going at it. We are just at foreplay."
Joey stood up and looked at Pacey. "So you're saying it's my fault that we aren't having sex?"
Pacey rested his back on the couch and looked at Joey. 'I'm not saying it's entirely your fault that we haven't done it yet."
"It's partially my fault then?" Joey raised her voice.
"Yes. You can't not take any blame for it." Pacey had a cool tone for his voice.
"Well then it's your fault too." Joey smiled at her comment.
Pacey clenched his fists and decided to humor her. "Okay then, how is it my fault that we aren't sleeping together?"
Joey's eyes got wide and they shifted. She stumbled out the words. "Because...you don't...you said you don't want to have sex yet."
Pacey stood up only a few inches from Joey. "I never said that!"
Joey's mouth formed an O then she stomped her foot and talked through her teeth. "Yes you did Pacey don't lie! Last week Thursday you stopped us that time and told me we shouldn't do it."
Pacey shook his head and added his hands. "No no no no no no, I said that we shouldn't do it because it wasn't a good time but I NEVER said I didn't want to. I want to have sex with you Joey. It's YOU who is stopping us from doing so. You need to realize that if we don't have sex, it's not because I didn't want to."
"Fine! Maybe I AM the one who's not letting us get to the next level but did it ever occur to you that I might be scared?" Joey walked behind the couch.
Pacey started laughing and watched Joey's reaction. "You can't be serious Joey. What are you scared of? We have had sex before so you can't be afraid of that."
"Don't pretend like you care Pacey. All you want is sex! It doesn't matter who it comes from. If you're so eager to have sex go out and bone some whore or better yet, sleep with Audrey! We all know she wants you." Joey stomped into the kitchen to go to her room.
Pacey jumped over the couch and grabbed Joey's arm. He made her look into his eyes. Pacey talked with a gentle voice but it still had some force in it. "I do care about how you feel Joey and you know I do so you can't stand here and say I don't. I want you and only you so I'm not going to go out and screw some girl or Audrey. Now can you tell me what is so freighting about me?"
Joey scrambled away from Pacey and started to cry. "Why can't you understand Pacey? I'm not afraid of you."
Pacey stepped closer but she backed away. "Okay, then tell me what is scaring you."
"Sex! Just sex in general. The last time we had sex was a few days before you broke up with me in college so we probably changed. It took me three years to sleep with someone else and when I did he dumped me the next day because he didn't like it. I don't have all this experience that you have and I..." Joey started to cry more and fell to the floor and crouched into a ball against the wall.
Pacey got on the floor with Joey and wrapped his arms around her. Joey let go of her legs then wrapped her arms around Pacey and cried on him.
"Joey I would never hurt you like that. I love you so much that even if you were horrible I would love it. Look at me Joey," Joey turned her tear stained face up to face Pacey. "I don't have all this experience you think I do. I'm not going to judge you. I even bet that you're not as bad as you think." Pacey wiped away a tear from her cheek.
"Yes I am Pacey. I was told that I was when he was looking me in the eyes." Joey leaned her head against the wall and felt more tears slide down from her eyes down to her leg.
"I don't believe that Joey. When we had sex before, you were amazing even though you never had sex before me. How could you be bad?" Pacey wiped away the loose tears and smiled.
"Pace, we were both virgins when we started having sex so you had nothing to compare me to."
"I do now and still I must say you were the best I ever had. No girl can compare in any way, sex, beauty, love, brains, anything! You are the best thing that has ever happened to me. Maybe that ass of a guy doesn't like amazing women. You are the sweetest girl I know, well, when you want to be you are."
"See that's the problem, I'm TOO sweet."
Pacey sat back and held Joey's hand. "Is that what the guy told you? You were too sweet?"
"Yeah and some other stuff." Joey looked at Pacey who was giving her the "spill it" look. "He told me that I wasn't dirty enough." Joey put her head in her hands.
"Now there's an idiot." Pacey said. Joey looked up at him so he continued. "First he left an amazing woman then he left before getting to the dirty stuff. I must say, I had to have sex with you for about...I would say 2 months before we got dirty, and it was dirty."
Joey started to blush then she smacked his arm. "Thanks Pacey. You really made me feel bad and good again today."
"Hey what are boyfriends for if not to make you sad and help you feel better again? So are we okay?"
Joey nodded her head. "Yeah, we're fine."
Pacey pretended like he was wiping off sweat from his fore head. "Good because fighting and making up with you is hard work."
Pacey stood up and helped Joey up. "I suggest that you find some more energy because you're not done."
"Ah Jo, I don't want to do it!" Pacey whined.
"You don't even know what IT is."
"I don't care. I don't want to do it."
Joey walked to her room and talked at the same time. "Okay then. I guess we don't need to have a reconciliation make out session."
Pacey's eyes got wide and watched her disappear into her room. He followed her. "You know what? I've decided that I wasn't thinking clearly when I answered so I'd like to acknowledge that I am a total dumbass and would like to change from not doing it to doing whatever your pretty heart and dirty mind wants me too." Pacey disappeared into the dark bedroom after Joey.
The time was 6:34 when the door came flying open. Audrey walked in and took off her brand new white k Swiss shoes with the red stripes. The rain stopped right when she entered the building. Audrey hated the rain. It was dirty and ugly to her. Audrey left on her sweater and scarf.
"Hello!!!!!! Is any one here?" Audrey belted out before taking off her dirty socks before heading for her room.
Joey and Pacey were on Joey's bed kissing when they heard her voice. They stopped kissing and looked at each other. "Shit!" they said together. Pacey got off and scooped the floor for their items of clothes they were missing. Pacey picked up Joey's cami and handed it to her. Joey tried to fix the bed, fix her hair and set up a card game before Audrey came in. Pacey heard Audrey walking down the hallway so he grabbed some cards and sat across from Joey like they were playing a game. Audrey moved the beads to her room and got spooked.
"O! Hey Pacey, what are you doing in my room?"
"Uh, me and Joey are playing a card game."
Audrey smiled then picked up a shirt. "Why do I have your shirt in my hand then?"
"Uh, because..."
"Strip poker! Joey blurted out.
Both Audrey and Pacey looked at Joey.
"Yeah, we're playing strip poker and obviously I'm kicking his ass."
"Awesome! Can I play?" Audrey sat closely next to Pacey.
"Um, sure Audrey. Can I have my shirt so I can put it back on?"
"I guess but I think you should show off your mouth watering physique." Audrey wiped her hand over Pacey's arm as she let go of the shirt.
The three played for about a half hour. Audrey got lowest most of the time and was upset that the winner got to pick what she took off. All she had off was her socks, her earrings, her bracelets and a necklace. Pacey got lowest twice and both times were to Joey who made him take off his socks. Joey only got the lowest cards once and Pacey won so he made her take off a slipper. Audrey got tired of this so she started to cheat but they didn't know. Audrey won twice and Pacey had the lowest cards both times. She made him take off his shirt and pants so he was sitting with only his blue plaid boxers on.
"Okay, drop your cards and try to beat my three tens." Joey said as she dropped her cards.
"I've got nothin!" Pacey dropped his random cards.
"I won...again!" Audrey dropped down her cards and grinned. She had all four queens and a six.
Joey and Pacey shook their heads in disbelief. "Holy crap Audrey! That never happens." Pacey said amazed.
"Well good for me then. I do believe that you ranked last so you owe me an item of clothing."
Pacey smiled. "Sorry but I don't have anymore to give you."
"Yes you do. I see a pair of blue boxers still on."
Pacey looked at Audrey to Joey then back to Audrey. "There is no way I'm taking off my boxers."
"You have to Pacey, I won fair and square! I want to see it and Joey already has...right? Joey, you didn't go prude on this man and didn't give him none did you?"
Joey turned bright red and looked away.
"It's not a hard question. Did you sleep with him or not?" Audrey gave a stone cold look at her.
"Leave her alone. She..." Pacey tried to stop Audrey.
"We slept together okay! Is that all you wanted to know Audrey? Or do you want to know how good it was and how often we did it too?" Joey interrupted Pacey and wanted to slap Audrey.
"Okay then. So what are you afraid of Pacey? The saying isn't true you know." Audrey sneered in satisfaction of what she did to Joey.
"And what saying is that?"
"The famous one. They say the taller the smaller. It's not true. I know by experience. I'm sure Joey can help with that answer."
Pacey felt as though he might hit Audrey when he heard the door open and heard laughing. "Joey, Pacey, Audrey, where are you guys?" Dawson called with laughter in his voice.
"Saved by the blonde. Get the hell out of here Audrey and tell them we'll be there in a minute."
Pacey and Joey helped each other get dressed before they hugged and went out to the kitchen.
"There you guys are. I would like you to meet my girlfriend, Andie McPhee. Andie, this is Audrey, Joey and..." Dawson named them off in the line.
"Pacey! O my god, I didn't think I would see you again." Andie gave Pacey a hug.
"Hey Andie. How've you been?"
"Good, good. How about you?"
"Pretty good. Things got better since the show." Pacey noticed that everyone was watching them. "We know each other."
Everyone sat at the table to talk some more. Andie sat next to Dawson and he wrapped his arm around her. Audrey sat next to the couple on the other side while Joey and Pacey sat next to each other. It was really hard for them to not touch each other.
"So how do you two know each other?" Dawson asked Andie and Pacey.
"Well honey, Pacey and I were friends a couple of years ago when I lived in Chicago but then I moved to Scuttinburgville and we lost touch."
"It is such a small world." Joey smiled.
"That it is. Did you ever become a chef Pacey?" Andie asked.
"Yes I did. Actually, I'm lead chef at Harry Carey's restaurant downtown in Chicago." Pacey smiled at that comment.
"So are you dating anyone?"
"Um, I'm not sure but I'm extremely happy." Pacey smiled at Joey then held her hand under the table.
Audrey yawned and everyone looked at her. "Blah, blah! Who cares about this crap. Did you date him or no Andie?"
"Well, kind of but not really." Andie squirmed a little underneath Dawson.
"How can you kind of date someone?" Dawson asked.
"See, we tried to date for maybe a week but we decided we were better as friends."
"You are one smart girl." Joey said. "I wish I would have known what I do now when I first met Pacey so I wouldn't have had to spend almost three years with this maniac." Joey stuck out her tongue at Pacey.
"You're Joey! Like THE Joey Potter. I always wanted to meet you." Andie got all excited.
"Why is that?"
"Pacey always talked about you."
"Andie, didn't you say you wouldn't tell people about what we talked about?" Pacey urged Andie to stop.
"No, keep going Andie. What did he say about me?"
Andie looked from Pacey to Joey to Pacey then to Joey. "I don't think I should."
"Nonsense! Pacey can't do anything to you. If he tells you anything he'll have to answer to me."
Andie watched as Pacey looked away in defeat. "Okay, Pacey would never stop talking about you. I met him a year after he came back to Chicago and he still loved you. Joey this, Joey that, he was driving me crazy! I remember one time we went to eat then all of a sudden Pacey stood up and said there were too many memories so he left me."
Joey looked at Pacey. "What reminded you of me that day Pace?"
"Um, Tell Her started playing on the sound system."
"It always hurt me to listen to that song too." Joey sweetly smiled.
"What's so significant about that song?" Dawson asked breaking the world the pair shared.
"Joey and I went to a dance our junior year as friends but we liked each other. Only fast songs were playing so the night was fun then a slow song came on. Tell Her by Lone Star started to play. I lead Joey onto the dance floor and through the whole song we just looked into each other's eyes. I asked her to be my girlfriend and we shared our first kiss during that song."
"That is so sweet. Dawson and I have a song too." Andie looked like she was going to cry.
"What song Andie?" Joey looked away from Pacey.
"It's going to sound weird but there is a really sweet story behind it. The song is badaboom by B2K."
"Please tell the story of how that song can be sweet." Audrey blurted out as she picked on her nails.
Andie rolled her eyes then smiled at Dawson. "Dawson and I knew each other for about a year. There was always this sexual tension between us. We went to California for a week and he decided to do karaoke for a hundred bucks. I had this huge crush on him and I knew that girls would be dancing on him so I signed up to dance. Dawson sang this song to me as I shook my ass for him and the crowd. By the end of the dance He grabbed me and kissed me." Andie smiled then leaned over and kissed Dawson.
Audrey looked at her watch and stood up. "We have been talking for four hours too long. Now it's ten and I have to make a call and go to bed. You guys sure do know how to spend a night." Audrey walked away into her room.
"Wow, I've been here only four hours and I already hate Audrey." Andie said as she put away the dishes with Joey.
"Trust me, you're not alone. She throws herself at every guy she sees." Joey was happy that she could talk to a girl with something else on the brain besides men.
"Can you say Whore?"
"I found out she has a boyfriend back home too. I feel bad for the guy."
"I hate cheaters. I think they are the worst people in the world."
"Well said Andie well said." Joey and Andie started to laugh.
"Andie, did Dawson tell you that he shares a room with Jack?" Joey put away the last dish.
"No, I didn't know. Where is Jack anyway? I really wanted to meet him."
"Jack should be back later tonight. I know that you guys want to be alone so tell Dawson to tell Jack that he can sleep in my room."
"Thanks Joey. I haven't seen Dawson in a long time and I really missed him."
"No problem. Jack can sleep in my room tomorrow too." Joey smiled.
Pacey popped out of no where and plopped down on the counter. "Did I just hear Josephine say that Jack is going to spend the night with her? I always thought there was an attraction there. Now tell me, do you ignore the fact that he likes men?"
"Very funny Witter: but to your disappointment I will be spending the night outside of my room, away from Jack. I would never take over your territory. Your kind needs to stick together."
"I do believe that when you say "your kind" you are referring to the extremely sexy male type."
"You think that now. We all need to dream. Maybe one day Pacella will find his fairy gay man who will turn him into the princess he really is. Who knows, you may even find your prince."
"Potter, when will you learn that these hidden attempts to make me become repulsed by you are actually making me hot for you? You should know by now that the further you push me away the more I want to do ungodly things to you."
"Thanks for the advice Witter. I think that I should hop in the sack with you and show you what makes me tick."
"Just tell me when and what bed and I'll be ready and willing."
Joey rolled her eyes. "Goodnight Pacey." Joey walked away. "Goodnight Andie."
Pacey called after Joey. "The offer still stands. Hey, I'll even let you experiment with whatever on me."
About a half an hour later Pacey decided to go to bed. He walked into his room and flicked on the light. What he saw made him jump. "Shit! Jo? What are you doing in my bedroom?" Pacey asked surprised.
"I'm spending the night in here with you."
"What? O I get it! Funny joke. Now you need to go before someone finds us."
"I'm not leaving Pace."
"Jo, the Joke's over. You can go now."
"It's not a joke. I want to spend the night with you."
"I don't understand. This morning you didn't want this."
Joey crawled to the edge of the bed and sat next to Pacey. "I know that you're right Pace, I'm the reason why we haven't taken that big step. I also realized that I don't have anything to be afraid of with you. Pacey, I know that you won't hurt me and sex will only make our relationship better. I'm ready."
"Are you sure Joey? I mean, this is a big step and I don't want to rush you into anything."
"You're not pacey. It finally clicked that you really love me when Andie was talking about how you would always talk about me after we broke up. I think I even knew this morning when you told me that every time we kiss it's like a first kiss. I feel the same way about you Pace. I am so happy when I'm with you. I can't wait for the next time I get to be in your arms. It amazes me that a man as perfect as you wants a girl like me."
"I'm far from perfect Joey."
"No you're not. Not to me. You are the closest thing I have to perfection and I don't want to lose it. I want to share the most intimate thing anyone can share with someone with you. I have nothing to lose but everything to gain. So please reassure me that you want this too Pace."
"I can do better. I love you with my whole being Joey and I would never mean to hurt you, ever. I want to make you happy and show you how much I care. How was that?"
Joey encircled his neck and they touched foreheads. "That was perfect. I love you so much Pacey and I'm sorry it took me so long to realize that." Pacey smiled then tilted his chin up so his lips could capture hers in a sweet kiss.
Joey awoke the next day finding her self in a pair of arms. She thought back to last night and a devilish grin spread across her face. That was some night. Joey felt really tired because of lack of sleep last night so she needed to get up and get some coffee. The only bad part of that scenario was that Joey would have to get out of the loving arms of the man she loved most in the world, Pacey Witter. Joey turned her head around to watch Pacey sleeping. How absolutely angelic Pacey looks in his sleep, she thought to herself. Joey tried to not awaken Pacey so she slowly lifted herself off the bed. Once she thought she was safe, Joey got pulled down by the arm that was still holding her.
"Did you really think you could get away that easily Potter?" Pacey said as he opened his eyes slightly until they adjusted to the sun light.
"No, but it was worth a try. I was just going to get coffee because I'm so tired." Joey played with his hair.
"Can you bring me a cup back?" Pacey said as he sat up.
Joey started to get dressed. "I'll try sweetie."
"Where are my boxers?" Pacey asked searching on the floor from his bed.
"Probably on the floor where the rest of your clothes are scattered."
"Good thinking Joey. That's why you were in the smart classes in school."
"Okay, I'll be back in a little Pace."
"Hey one more thing Jo."
"Yuppers?"
Pacey motioned for Joey to come to him. Joey didn't resist. Pacey stood up and kissed Joey with as much passion as a girl gives a newly returned soldier from combat.
Joey walked down the long hallway and already smelled the fresh aroma of newly brewed coffee. Who would be up so early? Joey thought. She walked down the narrow hallway pass the decoration mirror on the wall. Joey stopped and walked back in front of the mirror. Her hair was a mess, her clothes were all wrinkly and she had this huge grin on her face. Joey couldn't go into the kitchen and face whoever was in there looking like that. Joey tried to think of sad things while she was combing her hair. Finally, Joey decided to think about her mom. The smile faded and she looked almost sad. Joey took the last four steps into the kitchen.
"Good morning Joey." Jack said from his place at the table.
"Good morning Jack. How was your night?" Joey asked taking a cup of coffee and sitting at the table.
"Not as good as yours was." Jack put down the paper and smiled at Joey.
Joey placed her mug on the table and felt herself turning red and a smile creep up. "Why would you think it was a good night?"
Jack rolled his eyes and cracked his knuckles. "I slept on the couch last night. You two have to remember that these walls are not made of steel. Aren't you exhausted after two times?"
"Jack!" Joey spilt over a little of her coffee.
"What? I would be. They were long too."
"Why were you listening to us?"
"I wasn't. It was kind of hard to not hear it when I'm right outside the door. So are you so tired that you needed coffee?"
"Okay Jack! Yes, I'm tired, but it's not because we did it twice." Joey got quiet. "It's because we did it three times."
"Damn girl!" Jack took another drink of his coffee.
Joey was about to drink some more coffee when Pacey walked into the kitchen.
"Good morning Joey and Jack." Pacey said. He looked at Joey and grinned.
"How did you sleep Pacey? Jack asked giggling to Joey.
"Actually I didn't sleep very well. How did you sleep Jo?" Pacey tried to play it off while he drank his orange juice.
"I slept a little but I had sweet dreams. I'm really tired though." Joey loved playing with Pacey's mind.
"Why are you so tired?" Pacey asked wondering what excuse Joey would use in front of jack.
"I'm tired because you kept me up all night Pacey. You really like sex." Joey didn't even stumble out the sentence.
Pacey turned white because Joey didn't lie but now he had to save them from being found out. Pacey smiled and walked over to Joey and placed his hand on her shoulder. "Joey, Joey, Joey. You really need to figure out that your sex fantasies about me are not true."
Joey and Jack looked at each other then started to laugh hysterically. Pacey looked at them both and asked what was so funny.
"You are sweetie. Jack knows that we're together again." Joey could barely talk she was laughing so much.
Pacey turned red. "O. so she told you Jack?"
"Actually I heard you guys last night. I knew before then though."
"Well in that case, Good morning Josephine. Sorry you didn't sleep well."
Joey looked up at Pacey and he firmly pressed his lips against hers. Pacey separated from her but Joey lifted up her arm and wrapped it around Pacey's head. Pacey rested his hands on the back of the chair that Joey was sitting on. Jack watched this scene play out and thought that those two people are meant to be together. Ever since the first day in the house, he could tell that they had some special connection but he never could figure it out. Now he knew it was love. Jack cleared his throat.
"Can't you two save that for the bedroom?" Jack joked.
Pacey took a seat next to Joey. Down the hall footsteps could be heard. A man yawned so it was Dawson. Andie and he came down the hallway into the kitchen holding hands. Once Andie walked in the room Jack froze. His hand holding the mug started to shake and some coffee spilled out. It seemed as though he saw a ghost. Andie sat down at the table and Dawson got the two of them a cup of coffee. Andie was all smiles when she saw Jack.
"Hi. I'm Andie. You must be Jack?" Andie extended a hand and a smile to Jack.
Jack looked at Andie's hand and didn't do anything. Pacey hit Jack slightly and that brought him back to reality. Jack shook his head and shook her hand. "H...hi Andie, I'm Jack."
Andie studied Jack's features on his face. She sensed like she met him before but couldn't remember where. "Have we met before Jack?"
Jack's mouth had fallen open and all he could do was shake his head yes.
"I knew it! Where did we meet before?"
Joey looked at Pacey and Dawson. She stood up from the table. "Uh, hey boys! I need some help with something in the living room. Will you two come with me?"
Pacey knew that it was time to leave so he followed Joey. Pacey asked Dawson to come with them but Jack said that he needed to hear what he had to say too. Dawson took a seat at the table once Joey and Pacey left.
Jack took a deep breath and looked at Andie. "Andie, do you remember when you were about ten and a boy came to your door that was a little older than you?"
Andie just shook her head yes.
"I was that little boy."
Andie's eyes got big like she was about to cry. "My father said that the boy was just lost."
"I thought he would say something like that. That man that you call your father is mine too. He conceived me when he cheated on your mother two years before they had you. My mom had me, then left me on the street because she didn't want something that would remind me of him. I lived my whole childhood in an orphanage. When I was twelve, Sandy and Ted Smith wanted to adopt me but I wanted to talk to my father first because I found out where he lived. It killed me to find out that he had a family and another kid. I went to your house and you answered. When Frank came to the door he found out who I was and wouldn't even talk to me. He said I was unwanted and that if I didn't leave he would call the police on me."
Andie felt the tears rolling down her face. Andie stood up and held Jack in her arms. "I'm so sorry you had to go through that Jack. My Dad left my mom and me too. About a year after you came. He's dead now but I wished he would've paid for what he did to us."
Jack lifted his head and he was crying too. "I'm sorry I didn't come back to tell you and I'm sorry I told you like this."
"Don't be sorry Jack. You know, I always wanted a brother. Did you ever have a last name?"
"Yes. He stood around long enough to give me the McPhee name but I changed it to Smith when I was twelve. I'm a McPhee again because I'm over eighteen."
Andie and Jack stood there holding each other for a few minutes. Jack looked at the clock and noticed that he needed to go run some errands.
"Andie, I have to go run some errands." Jack said as he released Andie.
"Okay." Andie wiped away her tears.
"Would you come with me? I don't want to be away from you yet."
Andie shook her head then put on her shoes and left with Jack leaving Dawson in the kitchen.
The Time was 7:54 pm. No one went into the kitchen all day. Joey and Pacey decided to get a drink. Joey flipped on the light and saw that Dawson was sitting at the table still in his clothes he slept in last night. "Dawson, did you not move all day?" Joey asked.
"Nope. Jack and Andie still aren't back. She's leaving tomorrow morning." Dawson clenched his fists.
"You can't be mad at them. They just found out they are related so they wanted to spend some time together." Pacey got a pop for himself and Joey.
"Why can't I? This was the only time I got to spend with Andie but I couldn't spend it with her because she's with Jack."
"O Dawson. Don't be the jealous type." Joey said.
"I have the right to. She's spending the whole day with Jack!"
"He's gay! And not to mention her brother. I don't think any incest will be happening."
"She's right man. There's nothing to worry about. I know Andie; she would never go behind someone's back. She loves you Dawson." Pacey said as he threw away his pop.
"You two are right. I have nothing to worry about. I just wanted to spend some time with her. Last night I told her for the first time that I loved her. I thought we would be in this fantasy land today and we're not so I'm just disappointed." Dawson got up and walked by the showers to take a shower.
Two more hours passed before Andie and Jack came home. Once everyone was in the house, Jack pulled out the liquor. Dawson had enough shots to get tipsy. Jack and Andie did the same as Dawson. Pacey didn't feel like drinking a lot so he only had a beer. Joey didn't drink at all. It was only Audrey who got loaded. She had 12 shots of vodka, 2 wine coolers and one beer. Her speech was slurred and she was having trouble standing.
Joey sat next to Pacey the whole night until she got up to change into her pajamas. Audrey leaped on her opportunity. Once Joey went completely out of sight, Audrey slowly walked over to Pacey. She pretended like she fell on top of him. Audrey then lifted herself up so she was in the position of a baby in a mother's arms. Pacey tried to get her off but she wouldn't move. Audrey extended her arm and forced Pacey's head down so she could kiss him. At that moment Joey walked back into the room.
This set off Joey. That was the last straw. "Get the fuck off him you whore!" Joey yelled as she stomped into the room.
Audrey rolled off and stood up but she couldn't really keep her balance. "You can't tell me what to do."
"When it comes to my boyfriend I can."
"In your dreams Joey! I can kiss him if I want."
"He is mine you little bitch! He's been mine for a month now. Don't you ever come the fuck near him again or else."
"Or else what?"
"Or else me and you are throwing down! And they say the bigger the whore the harder they fall so you will fall pretty hard."
Audrey stepped in Joey's face and Joey got up in hers. Pacey stood up and pushed himself between the two and faced Joey. "You need to relax Joey. Audrey's drunk and doesn't know what she is doing."
Joey jumped back and got louder. "But you're not drunk Pacey. What the hell were you doing kissing Audrey?"
"I didn't kiss her! She came onto me."
"Well you could have stopped her! See, this is what I was afraid of. I always get hurt after sex. What's even better is that now EVERYONE knows that we're together. Are you happy NOW Pacey?!" Joey turned away and went to her room.
Pacey stood looking at the spot where she was standing then he looked at everyone. He nodded and went into Joey's room. Joey was on her bed crying.
"Jo." Pacey took one step into the room.
"Leave me alone!" Joey stood up and went into Pacey's room and locked the door. Pacey took out his key and went in. he closed and locked the door behind him.
"Joey, we need to talk." Pacey walked over to the bed.
"I don't want to talk to you Pacey." Joey put her face in her hands.
"Joey you need to know what happened."
"I know what happened Pacey. She kissed you."
"If you know then why are you mad?"
Joey wiped away her tears. "Because Pacey, I got hurt. I knew I would as soon as we slept together."
Pacey placed his hand on hers but she moved her hand. "I'm sorry you got hurt. I didn't know she would do that."
"Yeah well, life is full of surprises. Pace, I don't know if we should stay together." Joey looked up into Pacey's blue eyes. They turned a darker shade and he grew a frown.
"Joey please don't say that. I...I couldn't handle it if you left me."
"I'm not saying it's over, I'm just saying it might be best to stop this. I don't want to but..."
"Then why even think it? We both don't want to break up so let's not."
"Pacey, why can't you..." Joey was cut off by a kiss. Joey pushed Pacey away. "Pacey! I was talking."
"Okay, sorry. Keep going." Pacey sat back.
"Thank you." Joey studied Pacey's face. His eyes showed how sad he was. Joey didn't want to hurt him, she loved him. Joey smiled and leaned in. "I can't remember what I was going to say. I guess I need to kiss you." She whispered.
Pacey smiled and his eyes lightened up again. He leaned in and kissed her. Pacey put one hand on her back and one on her face. He stood up on his knees and slowly pushed Joey on the bed and he was on top of her. Joey wrapped her arms around his back. Once they were on the bed for a few seconds Pacey stopped and slightly lifted himself off of Joey and looked her in the eyes.
"Are we okay now Joey? You don't want to break up with me?"
Joey smiled at him. "I don't want to break up Pace, I love you so much. But um, we're only okay as long as you keep kissing me."
Pacey nodded his head and started to kiss her again.
In the confessional.
"The last two days have been wild. First, my girlfriend Andie comes into town for a visit and that night I finally grow some balls and tell her that I love her. Today, I go down to the kitchen with Andie in the morning and we find out Jack is her brother. After that I am left alone all day in the kitchen until Joey and Pacey knock some sense into me. O yes, Joey and Pacey. A little while ago they get into this huge fight, and I mean HUGE, because Audrey got drunk and kissed Pacey. Joey came into the room calling Audrey a whore and a bitch and all this crap. It was quite funny. Then Joey runs to her room and Pacey follows but Joey tells him to leave her alone so she runs into his room and locks the door. Pacey has a key so he goes in and they start fighting again. I think they're fine now because it's pretty quiet. Did I mention that Joey thought we didn't know they were back together? It was really obvious. They would always stare at each other and they were touchier too. Now, I'm going to bed because Andie is getting picked up early to go home." Dawson waved goodbye and left the room.
The next morning everyone was up and was saying goodbye to Andie. Pacey was holding Joey and Joey was leaning her head on his shoulder. Jack was crying because she was leaving and Dawson was putting her bags by the front door. Only Audrey wasn't there because she was still passed out from last night.
"It was nice seeing you again Pacey and it was nice meeting you Joey. You guys make a great couple." Andie said as she gave each one of them a hug. Pacey and Joey walked into another room then.
Andie turned and faced Jack who was crying. She hugged him hard. "Bye Jack. I can't wait to see you again. I'm so glad you're my brother. Don't lose my numbers."
"I won't Andie. Don't lose mine. I'll come see you after the show is over. I'm glad we are siblings too." Jack hugged and kissed Andie one last time before walking away with more tears in his eyes.
Andie turned to Dawson. She felt bad because she didn't get to spend much time with him. They smiled at each other.
"I'm sorry I didn't get to spend much time with you Dawson."
"It's okay Andie. Really, how often do you discover a long lost brother? I'm going to miss you."
"I'm going to miss you too. You'll be back in a week though."
"Yeah. Be safe going back home okay?"
"Okay." Andie walked up to Dawson and gave him a hug. She started to cry. Dawson kissed Andie and didn't let her go.
"I love you Andie."
"I love you too Dawson." At that moment a horn honked outside for Andie. "I have to go now, Bye."
"Bye." They kissed once more before Andie left the house to go back home.

Summary: Andie is coming to Seattle! All will be fine at first but a key word for this visit is change.
Joey sat at the kitchen table in her pj shorts, cami and fuzzy blue slippers. She slowly lifted her red mug up so the rim touched the top layer of skin in her lower lip. The freshly ground coffee aroma slyly sneaked up her small nose and caused a slight smile to form in the corners of her mouth while her brown eyes inched closer together in satisfaction. With a flick of the wrist, the hot smooth liquid heaven poured down into her willing mouth. In a quick gulp, the liquid traveled down her throat to satisfy the rest of her tired body. Joey set the mug down on the fine wood counter so a drop of coffee made a ring that cooled off once touched by wood. Her hands formed tight fists while her sad looking eyes stared out of the crystal clear glass of the window watching the cold big drops of rain trickle down the rainbow colored sun chair and land in the small pool that formed.
"I'm going now Joey so you'll be alone until Pacey gets back," Jack said slipping on his coat and holding an umbrella.
Jack Smiled sweetly then opened the door. He couldn't wait to be outside. There was something about the rain that made him smile. It did the same to Joey, maybe that's why they get along so well. To most people rain is sadness and makes them want to cry. That isn't the case to Jack. There always seemed to be this hidden magic in rain. The smell, the sound, the feel, all of it could make him want to sit on the porch and smile as the raindrops came crashing down upon him. Jack told Joey to have a good day.
Joey nodded her head but didn't turn to face him. When she heard the door click shut a huge grin danced along Joey's face. It's been a month since Joey and Pacey got back together and still no one knew. She liked it that way. Sure, she would love to tell the whole world that she loves Pacey and he loves her but Joey enjoyed privacy. Besides, Joey did tell the world: she just didn't tell the people in the house. The confessional is the best way to reveal secrets but still keep them too. Joey shifted her eyes to the cuckoo clock in the kitchen. 2:42. any minute now Pacey would walk into the house and ask who was in. it's been a new routine lately. Joey lifted herself from her chair and stretched out her arms. She slid her self down into the living room. Joey closed her eyes and plopped down on the puffy red couch. 2:51. still no Pacey. Joey started to get a little upset that Pacey was late. She started to twist her hair with her fingers when she heard the floor behind her creak. Before Joey could turn around she felt a pair of hands run down her arms.
"Are we alone?" the voice asked.
Joey tried to scowl but she couldn't help smiling. "Yes we are but it doesn't matter because you are late." Joey stood up and watched Pacey move in front of her.
"I'm sorry I'm late Jo but it started to rain and there was traffic."
"Don't lie to me Witter, there is never traffic." Joey couldn't look at his eyes and not smile.
"Okay, so maybe I fell asleep," Pacey got on his knees and put his hands together like he was praying. "But please don't take away my kissing privileges. I need those!"
Joey looked down at Pacey and tried to hide a smile. She was unsuccessful. "No Pacey, it's too late. I won't do it." Joey shook her head and sat back on the couch.
Pacey noticed that Joey couldn't look him in the eyes and that she had a slight smirk forming. He crawled over to the couch and stood on his knees. Pacey reached up and pushed Joey's hair behind her ear. Pacey put his lips right next to her ear. "I have ways of making you surrender." Pacey whispered in her ear then he kissed it.
Joey could feel her body being covered in goose bumps as Pacey made a trail of kisses down her leg. Her body was willing to give up but her brain was in charge and made sure that she got reminded of the sweet satisfaction that Pacey can give her. Once Pacey kissed the back of her ear Joey couldn't handle it anymore.
"Okay, okay. You win. Now will you please just kiss me!" Joey felt as though she might burst if he didn't kiss her soon.
Pacey smiled wide at his victory then stood up and sat next to Joey. Pacey teased her a little while he looked into her eyes and reached for her hand. He could see Joey pleading with him to kiss her in her eyes. Pacey leaned over and pressed his lips over hers. It amazed him that her lips were always soft. It also amazed him that every time he kissed her it felt like a first kiss. Joey wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him closer. They stayed like this for a while until Pacey moved his lips from her lips to her neck. Joey didn't want this feeling to stop but she blurted out something.
"Do you realize that we go at it every time we're alone like rabbits?"
Pacey stopped kissing her neck, sat back and smiled. "No we don't Jo."
Joey rolled her eyes. "Okay Mr. Einstein. How can you say what we are doing now is not like rabbits?"
"Easily. That sentence "going at it like rabbits" always refers to sex. You don't want to have sex so then we aren't going at it. We are just at foreplay."
Joey stood up and looked at Pacey. "So you're saying it's my fault that we aren't having sex?"
Pacey rested his back on the couch and looked at Joey. 'I'm not saying it's entirely your fault that we haven't done it yet."
"It's partially my fault then?" Joey raised her voice.
"Yes. You can't not take any blame for it." Pacey had a cool tone for his voice.
"Well then it's your fault too." Joey smiled at her comment.
Pacey clenched his fists and decided to humor her. "Okay then, how is it my fault that we aren't sleeping together?"
Joey's eyes got wide and they shifted. She stumbled out the words. "Because...you don't...you said you don't want to have sex yet."
Pacey stood up only a few inches from Joey. "I never said that!"
Joey's mouth formed an O then she stomped her foot and talked through her teeth. "Yes you did Pacey don't lie! Last week Thursday you stopped us that time and told me we shouldn't do it."
Pacey shook his head and added his hands. "No no no no no no, I said that we shouldn't do it because it wasn't a good time but I NEVER said I didn't want to. I want to have sex with you Joey. It's YOU who is stopping us from doing so. You need to realize that if we don't have sex, it's not because I didn't want to."
"Fine! Maybe I AM the one who's not letting us get to the next level but did it ever occur to you that I might be scared?" Joey walked behind the couch.
Pacey started laughing and watched Joey's reaction. "You can't be serious Joey. What are you scared of? We have had sex before so you can't be afraid of that."
"Don't pretend like you care Pacey. All you want is sex! It doesn't matter who it comes from. If you're so eager to have sex go out and bone some whore or better yet, sleep with Audrey! We all know she wants you." Joey stomped into the kitchen to go to her room.
Pacey jumped over the couch and grabbed Joey's arm. He made her look into his eyes. Pacey talked with a gentle voice but it still had some force in it. "I do care about how you feel Joey and you know I do so you can't stand here and say I don't. I want you and only you so I'm not going to go out and screw some girl or Audrey. Now can you tell me what is so freighting about me?"
Joey scrambled away from Pacey and started to cry. "Why can't you understand Pacey? I'm not afraid of you."
Pacey stepped closer but she backed away. "Okay, then tell me what is scaring you."
"Sex! Just sex in general. The last time we had sex was a few days before you broke up with me in college so we probably changed. It took me three years to sleep with someone else and when I did he dumped me the next day because he didn't like it. I don't have all this experience that you have and I..." Joey started to cry more and fell to the floor and crouched into a ball against the wall.
Pacey got on the floor with Joey and wrapped his arms around her. Joey let go of her legs then wrapped her arms around Pacey and cried on him.
"Joey I would never hurt you like that. I love you so much that even if you were horrible I would love it. Look at me Joey," Joey turned her tear stained face up to face Pacey. "I don't have all this experience you think I do. I'm not going to judge you. I even bet that you're not as bad as you think." Pacey wiped away a tear from her cheek.
"Yes I am Pacey. I was told that I was when he was looking me in the eyes." Joey leaned her head against the wall and felt more tears slide down from her eyes down to her leg.
"I don't believe that Joey. When we had sex before, you were amazing even though you never had sex before me. How could you be bad?" Pacey wiped away the loose tears and smiled.
"Pace, we were both virgins when we started having sex so you had nothing to compare me to."
"I do now and still I must say you were the best I ever had. No girl can compare in any way, sex, beauty, love, brains, anything! You are the best thing that has ever happened to me. Maybe that ass of a guy doesn't like amazing women. You are the sweetest girl I know, well, when you want to be you are."
"See that's the problem, I'm TOO sweet."
Pacey sat back and held Joey's hand. "Is that what the guy told you? You were too sweet?"
"Yeah and some other stuff." Joey looked at Pacey who was giving her the "spill it" look. "He told me that I wasn't dirty enough." Joey put her head in her hands.
"Now there's an idiot." Pacey said. Joey looked up at him so he continued. "First he left an amazing woman then he left before getting to the dirty stuff. I must say, I had to have sex with you for about...I would say 2 months before we got dirty, and it was dirty."
Joey started to blush then she smacked his arm. "Thanks Pacey. You really made me feel bad and good again today."
"Hey what are boyfriends for if not to make you sad and help you feel better again? So are we okay?"
Joey nodded her head. "Yeah, we're fine."
Pacey pretended like he was wiping off sweat from his fore head. "Good because fighting and making up with you is hard work."
Pacey stood up and helped Joey up. "I suggest that you find some more energy because you're not done."
"Ah Jo, I don't want to do it!" Pacey whined.
"You don't even know what IT is."
"I don't care. I don't want to do it."
Joey walked to her room and talked at the same time. "Okay then. I guess we don't need to have a reconciliation make out session."
Pacey's eyes got wide and watched her disappear into her room. He followed her. "You know what? I've decided that I wasn't thinking clearly when I answered so I'd like to acknowledge that I am a total dumbass and would like to change from not doing it to doing whatever your pretty heart and dirty mind wants me too." Pacey disappeared into the dark bedroom after Joey.
The time was 6:34 when the door came flying open. Audrey walked in and took off her brand new white k Swiss shoes with the red stripes. The rain stopped right when she entered the building. Audrey hated the rain. It was dirty and ugly to her. Audrey left on her sweater and scarf.
"Hello!!!!!! Is any one here?" Audrey belted out before taking off her dirty socks before heading for her room.
Joey and Pacey were on Joey's bed kissing when they heard her voice. They stopped kissing and looked at each other. "Shit!" they said together. Pacey got off and scooped the floor for their items of clothes they were missing. Pacey picked up Joey's cami and handed it to her. Joey tried to fix the bed, fix her hair and set up a card game before Audrey came in. Pacey heard Audrey walking down the hallway so he grabbed some cards and sat across from Joey like they were playing a game. Audrey moved the beads to her room and got spooked.
"O! Hey Pacey, what are you doing in my room?"
"Uh, me and Joey are playing a card game."
Audrey smiled then picked up a shirt. "Why do I have your shirt in my hand then?"
"Uh, because..."
"Strip poker! Joey blurted out.
Both Audrey and Pacey looked at Joey.
"Yeah, we're playing strip poker and obviously I'm kicking his ass."
"Awesome! Can I play?" Audrey sat closely next to Pacey.
"Um, sure Audrey. Can I have my shirt so I can put it back on?"
"I guess but I think you should show off your mouth watering physique." Audrey wiped her hand over Pacey's arm as she let go of the shirt.
The three played for about a half hour. Audrey got lowest most of the time and was upset that the winner got to pick what she took off. All she had off was her socks, her earrings, her bracelets and a necklace. Pacey got lowest twice and both times were to Joey who made him take off his socks. Joey only got the lowest cards once and Pacey won so he made her take off a slipper. Audrey got tired of this so she started to cheat but they didn't know. Audrey won twice and Pacey had the lowest cards both times. She made him take off his shirt and pants so he was sitting with only his blue plaid boxers on.
"Okay, drop your cards and try to beat my three tens." Joey said as she dropped her cards.
"I've got nothin!" Pacey dropped his random cards.
"I won...again!" Audrey dropped down her cards and grinned. She had all four queens and a six.
Joey and Pacey shook their heads in disbelief. "Holy crap Audrey! That never happens." Pacey said amazed.
"Well good for me then. I do believe that you ranked last so you owe me an item of clothing."
Pacey smiled. "Sorry but I don't have anymore to give you."
"Yes you do. I see a pair of blue boxers still on."
Pacey looked at Audrey to Joey then back to Audrey. "There is no way I'm taking off my boxers."
"You have to Pacey, I won fair and square! I want to see it and Joey already has...right? Joey, you didn't go prude on this man and didn't give him none did you?"
Joey turned bright red and looked away.
"It's not a hard question. Did you sleep with him or not?" Audrey gave a stone cold look at her.
"Leave her alone. She..." Pacey tried to stop Audrey.
"We slept together okay! Is that all you wanted to know Audrey? Or do you want to know how good it was and how often we did it too?" Joey interrupted Pacey and wanted to slap Audrey.
"Okay then. So what are you afraid of Pacey? The saying isn't true you know." Audrey sneered in satisfaction of what she did to Joey.
"And what saying is that?"
"The famous one. They say the taller the smaller. It's not true. I know by experience. I'm sure Joey can help with that answer."
Pacey felt as though he might hit Audrey when he heard the door open and heard laughing. "Joey, Pacey, Audrey, where are you guys?" Dawson called with laughter in his voice.
"Saved by the blonde. Get the hell out of here Audrey and tell them we'll be there in a minute."
Pacey and Joey helped each other get dressed before they hugged and went out to the kitchen.
"There you guys are. I would like you to meet my girlfriend, Andie McPhee. Andie, this is Audrey, Joey and..." Dawson named them off in the line.
"Pacey! O my god, I didn't think I would see you again." Andie gave Pacey a hug.
"Hey Andie. How've you been?"
"Good, good. How about you?"
"Pretty good. Things got better since the show." Pacey noticed that everyone was watching them. "We know each other."
Everyone sat at the table to talk some more. Andie sat next to Dawson and he wrapped his arm around her. Audrey sat next to the couple on the other side while Joey and Pacey sat next to each other. It was really hard for them to not touch each other.
"So how do you two know each other?" Dawson asked Andie and Pacey.
"Well honey, Pacey and I were friends a couple of years ago when I lived in Chicago but then I moved to Scuttinburgville and we lost touch."
"It is such a small world." Joey smiled.
"That it is. Did you ever become a chef Pacey?" Andie asked.
"Yes I did. Actually, I'm lead chef at Harry Carey's restaurant downtown in Chicago." Pacey smiled at that comment.
"So are you dating anyone?"
"Um, I'm not sure but I'm extremely happy." Pacey smiled at Joey then held her hand under the table.
Audrey yawned and everyone looked at her. "Blah, blah! Who cares about this crap. Did you date him or no Andie?"
"Well, kind of but not really." Andie squirmed a little underneath Dawson.
"How can you kind of date someone?" Dawson asked.
"See, we tried to date for maybe a week but we decided we were better as friends."
"You are one smart girl." Joey said. "I wish I would have known what I do now when I first met Pacey so I wouldn't have had to spend almost three years with this maniac." Joey stuck out her tongue at Pacey.
"You're Joey! Like THE Joey Potter. I always wanted to meet you." Andie got all excited.
"Why is that?"
"Pacey always talked about you."
"Andie, didn't you say you wouldn't tell people about what we talked about?" Pacey urged Andie to stop.
"No, keep going Andie. What did he say about me?"
Andie looked from Pacey to Joey to Pacey then to Joey. "I don't think I should."
"Nonsense! Pacey can't do anything to you. If he tells you anything he'll have to answer to me."
Andie watched as Pacey looked away in defeat. "Okay, Pacey would never stop talking about you. I met him a year after he came back to Chicago and he still loved you. Joey this, Joey that, he was driving me crazy! I remember one time we went to eat then all of a sudden Pacey stood up and said there were too many memories so he left me."
Joey looked at Pacey. "What reminded you of me that day Pace?"
"Um, Tell Her started playing on the sound system."
"It always hurt me to listen to that song too." Joey sweetly smiled.
"What's so significant about that song?" Dawson asked breaking the world the pair shared.
"Joey and I went to a dance our junior year as friends but we liked each other. Only fast songs were playing so the night was fun then a slow song came on. Tell Her by Lone Star started to play. I lead Joey onto the dance floor and through the whole song we just looked into each other's eyes. I asked her to be my girlfriend and we shared our first kiss during that song."
"That is so sweet. Dawson and I have a song too." Andie looked like she was going to cry.
"What song Andie?" Joey looked away from Pacey.
"It's going to sound weird but there is a really sweet story behind it. The song is badaboom by B2K."
"Please tell the story of how that song can be sweet." Audrey blurted out as she picked on her nails.
Andie rolled her eyes then smiled at Dawson. "Dawson and I knew each other for about a year. There was always this sexual tension between us. We went to California for a week and he decided to do karaoke for a hundred bucks. I had this huge crush on him and I knew that girls would be dancing on him so I signed up to dance. Dawson sang this song to me as I shook my ass for him and the crowd. By the end of the dance He grabbed me and kissed me." Andie smiled then leaned over and kissed Dawson.
Audrey looked at her watch and stood up. "We have been talking for four hours too long. Now it's ten and I have to make a call and go to bed. You guys sure do know how to spend a night." Audrey walked away into her room.
"Wow, I've been here only four hours and I already hate Audrey." Andie said as she put away the dishes with Joey.
"Trust me, you're not alone. She throws herself at every guy she sees." Joey was happy that she could talk to a girl with something else on the brain besides men.
"Can you say Whore?"
"I found out she has a boyfriend back home too. I feel bad for the guy."
"I hate cheaters. I think they are the worst people in the world."
"Well said Andie well said." Joey and Andie started to laugh.
"Andie, did Dawson tell you that he shares a room with Jack?" Joey put away the last dish.
"No, I didn't know. Where is Jack anyway? I really wanted to meet him."
"Jack should be back later tonight. I know that you guys want to be alone so tell Dawson to tell Jack that he can sleep in my room."
"Thanks Joey. I haven't seen Dawson in a long time and I really missed him."
"No problem. Jack can sleep in my room tomorrow too." Joey smiled.
Pacey popped out of no where and plopped down on the counter. "Did I just hear Josephine say that Jack is going to spend the night with her? I always thought there was an attraction there. Now tell me, do you ignore the fact that he likes men?"
"Very funny Witter: but to your disappointment I will be spending the night outside of my room, away from Jack. I would never take over your territory. Your kind needs to stick together."
"I do believe that when you say "your kind" you are referring to the extremely sexy male type."
"You think that now. We all need to dream. Maybe one day Pacella will find his fairy gay man who will turn him into the princess he really is. Who knows, you may even find your prince."
"Potter, when will you learn that these hidden attempts to make me become repulsed by you are actually making me hot for you? You should know by now that the further you push me away the more I want to do ungodly things to you."
"Thanks for the advice Witter. I think that I should hop in the sack with you and show you what makes me tick."
"Just tell me when and what bed and I'll be ready and willing."
Joey rolled her eyes. "Goodnight Pacey." Joey walked away. "Goodnight Andie."
Pacey called after Joey. "The offer still stands. Hey, I'll even let you experiment with whatever on me."
About a half an hour later Pacey decided to go to bed. He walked into his room and flicked on the light. What he saw made him jump. "Shit! Jo? What are you doing in my bedroom?" Pacey asked surprised.
"I'm spending the night in here with you."
"What? O I get it! Funny joke. Now you need to go before someone finds us."
"I'm not leaving Pace."
"Jo, the Joke's over. You can go now."
"It's not a joke. I want to spend the night with you."
"I don't understand. This morning you didn't want this."
Joey crawled to the edge of the bed and sat next to Pacey. "I know that you're right Pace, I'm the reason why we haven't taken that big step. I also realized that I don't have anything to be afraid of with you. Pacey, I know that you won't hurt me and sex will only make our relationship better. I'm ready."
"Are you sure Joey? I mean, this is a big step and I don't want to rush you into anything."
"You're not pacey. It finally clicked that you really love me when Andie was talking about how you would always talk about me after we broke up. I think I even knew this morning when you told me that every time we kiss it's like a first kiss. I feel the same way about you Pace. I am so happy when I'm with you. I can't wait for the next time I get to be in your arms. It amazes me that a man as perfect as you wants a girl like me."
"I'm far from perfect Joey."
"No you're not. Not to me. You are the closest thing I have to perfection and I don't want to lose it. I want to share the most intimate thing anyone can share with someone with you. I have nothing to lose but everything to gain. So please reassure me that you want this too Pace."
"I can do better. I love you with my whole being Joey and I would never mean to hurt you, ever. I want to make you happy and show you how much I care. How was that?"
Joey encircled his neck and they touched foreheads. "That was perfect. I love you so much Pacey and I'm sorry it took me so long to realize that." Pacey smiled then tilted his chin up so his lips could capture hers in a sweet kiss.
Joey awoke the next day finding her self in a pair of arms. She thought back to last night and a devilish grin spread across her face. That was some night. Joey felt really tired because of lack of sleep last night so she needed to get up and get some coffee. The only bad part of that scenario was that Joey would have to get out of the loving arms of the man she loved most in the world, Pacey Witter. Joey turned her head around to watch Pacey sleeping. How absolutely angelic Pacey looks in his sleep, she thought to herself. Joey tried to not awaken Pacey so she slowly lifted herself off the bed. Once she thought she was safe, Joey got pulled down by the arm that was still holding her.
"Did you really think you could get away that easily Potter?" Pacey said as he opened his eyes slightly until they adjusted to the sun light.
"No, but it was worth a try. I was just going to get coffee because I'm so tired." Joey played with his hair.
"Can you bring me a cup back?" Pacey said as he sat up.
Joey started to get dressed. "I'll try sweetie."
"Where are my boxers?" Pacey asked searching on the floor from his bed.
"Probably on the floor where the rest of your clothes are scattered."
"Good thinking Joey. That's why you were in the smart classes in school."
"Okay, I'll be back in a little Pace."
"Hey one more thing Jo."
"Yuppers?"
Pacey motioned for Joey to come to him. Joey didn't resist. Pacey stood up and kissed Joey with as much passion as a girl gives a newly returned soldier from combat.
Joey walked down the long hallway and already smelled the fresh aroma of newly brewed coffee. Who would be up so early? Joey thought. She walked down the narrow hallway pass the decoration mirror on the wall. Joey stopped and walked back in front of the mirror. Her hair was a mess, her clothes were all wrinkly and she had this huge grin on her face. Joey couldn't go into the kitchen and face whoever was in there looking like that. Joey tried to think of sad things while she was combing her hair. Finally, Joey decided to think about her mom. The smile faded and she looked almost sad. Joey took the last four steps into the kitchen.
"Good morning Joey." Jack said from his place at the table.
"Good morning Jack. How was your night?" Joey asked taking a cup of coffee and sitting at the table.
"Not as good as yours was." Jack put down the paper and smiled at Joey.
Joey placed her mug on the table and felt herself turning red and a smile creep up. "Why would you think it was a good night?"
Jack rolled his eyes and cracked his knuckles. "I slept on the couch last night. You two have to remember that these walls are not made of steel. Aren't you exhausted after two times?"
"Jack!" Joey spilt over a little of her coffee.
"What? I would be. They were long too."
"Why were you listening to us?"
"I wasn't. It was kind of hard to not hear it when I'm right outside the door. So are you so tired that you needed coffee?"
"Okay Jack! Yes, I'm tired, but it's not because we did it twice." Joey got quiet. "It's because we did it three times."
"Damn girl!" Jack took another drink of his coffee.
Joey was about to drink some more coffee when Pacey walked into the kitchen.
"Good morning Joey and Jack." Pacey said. He looked at Joey and grinned.
"How did you sleep Pacey? Jack asked giggling to Joey.
"Actually I didn't sleep very well. How did you sleep Jo?" Pacey tried to play it off while he drank his orange juice.
"I slept a little but I had sweet dreams. I'm really tired though." Joey loved playing with Pacey's mind.
"Why are you so tired?" Pacey asked wondering what excuse Joey would use in front of jack.
"I'm tired because you kept me up all night Pacey. You really like sex." Joey didn't even stumble out the sentence.
Pacey turned white because Joey didn't lie but now he had to save them from being found out. Pacey smiled and walked over to Joey and placed his hand on her shoulder. "Joey, Joey, Joey. You really need to figure out that your sex fantasies about me are not true."
Joey and Jack looked at each other then started to laugh hysterically. Pacey looked at them both and asked what was so funny.
"You are sweetie. Jack knows that we're together again." Joey could barely talk she was laughing so much.
Pacey turned red. "O. so she told you Jack?"
"Actually I heard you guys last night. I knew before then though."
"Well in that case, Good morning Josephine. Sorry you didn't sleep well."
Joey looked up at Pacey and he firmly pressed his lips against hers. Pacey separated from her but Joey lifted up her arm and wrapped it around Pacey's head. Pacey rested his hands on the back of the chair that Joey was sitting on. Jack watched this scene play out and thought that those two people are meant to be together. Ever since the first day in the house, he could tell that they had some special connection but he never could figure it out. Now he knew it was love. Jack cleared his throat.
"Can't you two save that for the bedroom?" Jack joked.
Pacey took a seat next to Joey. Down the hall footsteps could be heard. A man yawned so it was Dawson. Andie and he came down the hallway into the kitchen holding hands. Once Andie walked in the room Jack froze. His hand holding the mug started to shake and some coffee spilled out. It seemed as though he saw a ghost. Andie sat down at the table and Dawson got the two of them a cup of coffee. Andie was all smiles when she saw Jack.
"Hi. I'm Andie. You must be Jack?" Andie extended a hand and a smile to Jack.
Jack looked at Andie's hand and didn't do anything. Pacey hit Jack slightly and that brought him back to reality. Jack shook his head and shook her hand. "H...hi Andie, I'm Jack."
Andie studied Jack's features on his face. She sensed like she met him before but couldn't remember where. "Have we met before Jack?"
Jack's mouth had fallen open and all he could do was shake his head yes.
"I knew it! Where did we meet before?"
Joey looked at Pacey and Dawson. She stood up from the table. "Uh, hey boys! I need some help with something in the living room. Will you two come with me?"
Pacey knew that it was time to leave so he followed Joey. Pacey asked Dawson to come with them but Jack said that he needed to hear what he had to say too. Dawson took a seat at the table once Joey and Pacey left.
Jack took a deep breath and looked at Andie. "Andie, do you remember when you were about ten and a boy came to your door that was a little older than you?"
Andie just shook her head yes.
"I was that little boy."
Andie's eyes got big like she was about to cry. "My father said that the boy was just lost."
"I thought he would say something like that. That man that you call your father is mine too. He conceived me when he cheated on your mother two years before they had you. My mom had me, then left me on the street because she didn't want something that would remind me of him. I lived my whole childhood in an orphanage. When I was twelve, Sandy and Ted Smith wanted to adopt me but I wanted to talk to my father first because I found out where he lived. It killed me to find out that he had a family and another kid. I went to your house and you answered. When Frank came to the door he found out who I was and wouldn't even talk to me. He said I was unwanted and that if I didn't leave he would call the police on me."
Andie felt the tears rolling down her face. Andie stood up and held Jack in her arms. "I'm so sorry you had to go through that Jack. My Dad left my mom and me too. About a year after you came. He's dead now but I wished he would've paid for what he did to us."
Jack lifted his head and he was crying too. "I'm sorry I didn't come back to tell you and I'm sorry I told you like this."
"Don't be sorry Jack. You know, I always wanted a brother. Did you ever have a last name?"
"Yes. He stood around long enough to give me the McPhee name but I changed it to Smith when I was twelve. I'm a McPhee again because I'm over eighteen."
Andie and Jack stood there holding each other for a few minutes. Jack looked at the clock and noticed that he needed to go run some errands.
"Andie, I have to go run some errands." Jack said as he released Andie.
"Okay." Andie wiped away her tears.
"Would you come with me? I don't want to be away from you yet."
Andie shook her head then put on her shoes and left with Jack leaving Dawson in the kitchen.
The Time was 7:54 pm. No one went into the kitchen all day. Joey and Pacey decided to get a drink. Joey flipped on the light and saw that Dawson was sitting at the table still in his clothes he slept in last night. "Dawson, did you not move all day?" Joey asked.
"Nope. Jack and Andie still aren't back. She's leaving tomorrow morning." Dawson clenched his fists.
"You can't be mad at them. They just found out they are related so they wanted to spend some time together." Pacey got a pop for himself and Joey.
"Why can't I? This was the only time I got to spend with Andie but I couldn't spend it with her because she's with Jack."
"O Dawson. Don't be the jealous type." Joey said.
"I have the right to. She's spending the whole day with Jack!"
"He's gay! And not to mention her brother. I don't think any incest will be happening."
"She's right man. There's nothing to worry about. I know Andie; she would never go behind someone's back. She loves you Dawson." Pacey said as he threw away his pop.
"You two are right. I have nothing to worry about. I just wanted to spend some time with her. Last night I told her for the first time that I loved her. I thought we would be in this fantasy land today and we're not so I'm just disappointed." Dawson got up and walked by the showers to take a shower.
Two more hours passed before Andie and Jack came home. Once everyone was in the house, Jack pulled out the liquor. Dawson had enough shots to get tipsy. Jack and Andie did the same as Dawson. Pacey didn't feel like drinking a lot so he only had a beer. Joey didn't drink at all. It was only Audrey who got loaded. She had 12 shots of vodka, 2 wine coolers and one beer. Her speech was slurred and she was having trouble standing.
Joey sat next to Pacey the whole night until she got up to change into her pajamas. Audrey leaped on her opportunity. Once Joey went completely out of sight, Audrey slowly walked over to Pacey. She pretended like she fell on top of him. Audrey then lifted herself up so she was in the position of a baby in a mother's arms. Pacey tried to get her off but she wouldn't move. Audrey extended her arm and forced Pacey's head down so she could kiss him. At that moment Joey walked back into the room.
This set off Joey. That was the last straw. "Get the fuck off him you whore!" Joey yelled as she stomped into the room.
Audrey rolled off and stood up but she couldn't really keep her balance. "You can't tell me what to do."
"When it comes to my boyfriend I can."
"In your dreams Joey! I can kiss him if I want."
"He is mine you little bitch! He's been mine for a month now. Don't you ever come the fuck near him again or else."
"Or else what?"
"Or else me and you are throwing down! And they say the bigger the whore the harder they fall so you will fall pretty hard."
Audrey stepped in Joey's face and Joey got up in hers. Pacey stood up and pushed himself between the two and faced Joey. "You need to relax Joey. Audrey's drunk and doesn't know what she is doing."
Joey jumped back and got louder. "But you're not drunk Pacey. What the hell were you doing kissing Audrey?"
"I didn't kiss her! She came onto me."
"Well you could have stopped her! See, this is what I was afraid of. I always get hurt after sex. What's even better is that now EVERYONE knows that we're together. Are you happy NOW Pacey?!" Joey turned away and went to her room.
Pacey stood looking at the spot where she was standing then he looked at everyone. He nodded and went into Joey's room. Joey was on her bed crying.
"Jo." Pacey took one step into the room.
"Leave me alone!" Joey stood up and went into Pacey's room and locked the door. Pacey took out his key and went in. he closed and locked the door behind him.
"Joey, we need to talk." Pacey walked over to the bed.
"I don't want to talk to you Pacey." Joey put her face in her hands.
"Joey you need to know what happened."
"I know what happened Pacey. She kissed you."
"If you know then why are you mad?"
Joey wiped away her tears. "Because Pacey, I got hurt. I knew I would as soon as we slept together."
Pacey placed his hand on hers but she moved her hand. "I'm sorry you got hurt. I didn't know she would do that."
"Yeah well, life is full of surprises. Pace, I don't know if we should stay together." Joey looked up into Pacey's blue eyes. They turned a darker shade and he grew a frown.
"Joey please don't say that. I...I couldn't handle it if you left me."
"I'm not saying it's over, I'm just saying it might be best to stop this. I don't want to but..."
"Then why even think it? We both don't want to break up so let's not."
"Pacey, why can't you..." Joey was cut off by a kiss. Joey pushed Pacey away. "Pacey! I was talking."
"Okay, sorry. Keep going." Pacey sat back.
"Thank you." Joey studied Pacey's face. His eyes showed how sad he was. Joey didn't want to hurt him, she loved him. Joey smiled and leaned in. "I can't remember what I was going to say. I guess I need to kiss you." She whispered.
Pacey smiled and his eyes lightened up again. He leaned in and kissed her. Pacey put one hand on her back and one on her face. He stood up on his knees and slowly pushed Joey on the bed and he was on top of her. Joey wrapped her arms around his back. Once they were on the bed for a few seconds Pacey stopped and slightly lifted himself off of Joey and looked her in the eyes.
"Are we okay now Joey? You don't want to break up with me?"
Joey smiled at him. "I don't want to break up Pace, I love you so much. But um, we're only okay as long as you keep kissing me."
Pacey nodded his head and started to kiss her again.
In the confessional.
"The last two days have been wild. First, my girlfriend Andie comes into town for a visit and that night I finally grow some balls and tell her that I love her. Today, I go down to the kitchen with Andie in the morning and we find out Jack is her brother. After that I am left alone all day in the kitchen until Joey and Pacey knock some sense into me. O yes, Joey and Pacey. A little while ago they get into this huge fight, and I mean HUGE, because Audrey got drunk and kissed Pacey. Joey came into the room calling Audrey a whore and a bitch and all this crap. It was quite funny. Then Joey runs to her room and Pacey follows but Joey tells him to leave her alone so she runs into his room and locks the door. Pacey has a key so he goes in and they start fighting again. I think they're fine now because it's pretty quiet. Did I mention that Joey thought we didn't know they were back together? It was really obvious. They would always stare at each other and they were touchier too. Now, I'm going to bed because Andie is getting picked up early to go home." Dawson waved goodbye and left the room.
The next morning everyone was up and was saying goodbye to Andie. Pacey was holding Joey and Joey was leaning her head on his shoulder. Jack was crying because she was leaving and Dawson was putting her bags by the front door. Only Audrey wasn't there because she was still passed out from last night.
"It was nice seeing you again Pacey and it was nice meeting you Joey. You guys make a great couple." Andie said as she gave each one of them a hug. Pacey and Joey walked into another room then.
Andie turned and faced Jack who was crying. She hugged him hard. "Bye Jack. I can't wait to see you again. I'm so glad you're my brother. Don't lose my numbers."
"I won't Andie. Don't lose mine. I'll come see you after the show is over. I'm glad we are siblings too." Jack hugged and kissed Andie one last time before walking away with more tears in his eyes.
Andie turned to Dawson. She felt bad because she didn't get to spend much time with him. They smiled at each other.
"I'm sorry I didn't get to spend much time with you Dawson."
"It's okay Andie. Really, how often do you discover a long lost brother? I'm going to miss you."
"I'm going to miss you too. You'll be back in a week though."
"Yeah. Be safe going back home okay?"
"Okay." Andie walked up to Dawson and gave him a hug. She started to cry. Dawson kissed Andie and didn't let her go.
"I love you Andie."
"I love you too Dawson." At that moment a horn honked outside for Andie. "I have to go now, Bye."
"Bye." They kissed once more before Andie left the house to go back home.
