Joey typed random letters on her computer. She could focus on her article.

"Working hard, huh?"

Joey smiled at the familiar voice. Pacey was leaning over her cubical with a smile.

Joey rolled her eyes. "Or barely working. I don't have a thought in my head."

"Well, what are you working on?"

"An article on the top banks and what they have to offer."

"Hmm," Pacey said. "Sounds like fun."

"Loads," Joey said sarcastically. "So what are you doing here?"

"Oh yes," he said handing her a bag. "I come bearing gifts."

Joey looked in the bag and lifted an eyebrow at him. "You gave me two cheeseburgers?"

"Actually one of those is mine. I was hoping to steal you away so you can eat with me."

Joey smiled then looked back to her computer. "I don't know, Pace. I'm already so far ahead on this story that I don't know if I should leave."

"I'll buy you an ice cream?"

"Wow, an ice cream cone in the middle of winter. How could I resist?"

Pacey rolled his eyes. "Get up, Potter."

Joey stood up. "Alright, alright. I didn't know you could be so pushy."

Pacey fake chuckled and walked next to her. "You can forget about that Ice cream now."

Joey pointed a finger at him as they got into the elevator. "Watch it, Witter. You never get between a woman and her sweets."

Back in the office two of Joey's cubicle sharers got together.

"Who was the hunk?" Sandy said to Alice as the elevator closed.

"That was Pacey Witter. He's one of like three lead chefs down at Harry Carry's," Said Alice.

"You think their dating?"

"Last I knew they still were?"

"Where'd you hear that?"

Alice rolled her eyes. "Obviously you don't watch The Real World. They just did it last episode."

"This is really good," Joey said taking another bite of her burger.

"Thank you," Pacey replied.

"You made this?" Joey said with her mouth full.

Pacey smiled and took a drink. "Yeah. You thought I'd bring you some fast food?"

Joey noticed the food still in her mouth and swallowed. "Why haven't you cooked for me before?"

"You never asked," Pacey said before finishing up his burger.

Joey rolled her eyes. "Lame excuse," she said throwing her trash away.

Pacey dumped his stuff and sat back down. "Do you want me to cook for you?"

Joey smiled. "Yeah."

Pacey smiled back. "Then I will someday."

"Promise?"

Pacey made a cross over his heart. "Promise."

Joey smiled a wide smile. "So what are you doing tonight?" she asked casually.

"Staying at home. How about you?"

Joey lifted the side of her mouth. "Ehh, I'm supposed to go over by Alice's place for the night but I really don't want to."

"Why don't you just give an excuse and stay home?"

"Lucky's spending the night and I don't exactly want to be there when they are."

Pacey chuckled at her meaning. "You could spend the night by my house."

Joey bit her lip. "Would you be okay with that?"

Pacey understood. "Yeah," he said. "I'd like the company. We could watch unfaithful if you wanted."

Joey scrunched up her nose. "The whole movie is about sex."

"Which you like," Pacey said without thinking.

Joey froze a moment and blushed. "Let's get that ice cream now."

Maria looked through her closet. "Can you believe we've lived here about four months now?"

Joey flipped another page on her magazine. "Nope," she said knowing that she has counted the days since the show ended.

Maria pulled on her top and looked at the clock. "Lucky's going to be here any minute," she said out loud but to herself.

"So you too are kind of serious, huh?"

Maria turned to her cousin and smiled. "Yeah, Lucky's really something else."

Joey smiled back at Maria. She was happy for her cousin, she really was, but she couldn't help thinking about how she screwed up things with Pacey all those months ago. Joey had contemplated on telling Pacey how she felt, but Joey thought it was best not to because, well, they have been broken up for almost a half of a year now.

"I should get going," Joey said getting off the bed.

"Hey Cuz, where are you going tonight anyway?" Maria asked.

Joey tucked some hair behind her ears. "Um, by Pacey's house. He said I could spend the night there."

Maria's jaw dropped. "What? Why didn't you tell me? How did this happen?"

Before Joey could answer, the doorbell rang. Joey sighed with relief. "We can talk later, Maria," she said leaving and letting Lucky come in.

Joey wrapped her arms around her body as she sat on the couch. Pacey walked in with some movies in his hands and gave Joey a concerned look.

"You cold?" He asked.

"A little," Joey said running up and down her hands.

"You could have asked for a blanket," he said hading her one.

Joey said thanks and wrapped her self up. "What movies do you have?"

Pacey smiled. "I have Goodfellas, The Godfather and The terminator."

Joey shook her head. "Of course you would only have he-man movies."

"I could bring out Dumbo?"

Joey rolled her eyes. "Goodfellas is fine."

Pacey walked over to the machine and put in the movie. "I'm going to ignore that about Dumbo."

Joey lifted her shoulders. "I didn't say anything!"

Pacey turned around and tapped his head. "I know what you were thinking."

Joey smirked. "And here I thought you were normal."

Pacey sat down next to Joey on the couch. "Great way to treat your host, Potter."

Joey laughed. "Sorry. I'll be nicer to the 'host.' I do like Dumbo."

Pacey smiled in satisfaction. "Thank you," he said reclining.

They watched the movie. Once it was done it was past midnight. Pacey stretched out his arms.

"I should get to bed," he said with a yawn.

Joey nodded. "Me too. I have a long day tomorrow."

They stood in silence for a few seconds.

"You can sleep in the bed," Pacey said.

"Where are you going to sleep?" Joey asked.

"UH, the couch."

Joey nodded and said goodnight. She started to walk away when she stopped and turned around.

"Hey Pace?" she said after a second of just standing there.

Pacey looked up from fixing the couch to her. "Yeah?"

"Do you, um…do you want to sleep in the bed with me?"

Pacey was speechless at first. "Uh, no. the couch is fine."

"You sure?" Joey asked. "There's enough room for the both of us and I don't want to kick you out of your bed."

Pacey smiled at Joey and she smiled back. "Yeah, that'll be great."

Joey gave a half smile. "Okay," she said turning around and walking into the room.

Pacey grabbed his pillows and walked into the bedroom. Joey was already lying in the bed. Pacey smiled at her.

"Goodnight, Jo," Pacey said getting in.

Once Pacey was fully in the bed, Joey took a deep breath. She leaned over and kissed him on the cheek quickly and turned off the light next to her. "Goodnight, Pacey," she said.

Pacey ran his hand over the place where she kissed him and smiled before turning off the light next to him.
