The Unseen Obstacle CH.26

I Disclaim

Hours later

Pacey and Joey were sitting in the kitchen of Grams house not talking but glaring, while Jack chaperoned, he job was to make sure they eat all their soup and stayed warm. They'd finished the soup a while ago but they still were restricted to the kitchen table.

"How's it going Jack?"

Jack stop looking at his wards, and looked over on the short blonde." They're not using words, but I can tell there's a deep and meaningful conversation going on."

Jen took the sit beside him and watched their friends. Just noting there unwavering stares at the other. She shook her head." I don't see anything."

"It's subtle." Jack pointed to Joey occasionally clenched and unclenched her jaw." Joey seems to be telling Pacey off, you can tell because her eyes change shades, when she just berating him her eyes are just brown, but as the fight escalates they gradually get darker."

"And Pacey?"

" He's going for the silent treatment not really making any movements or overall gestures , and you and I both know Joey hates the silent treatment, so to really annoy her every know and then he raises and eyebrow to mock her."

"You're getting all that from them glaring?"

"Like I said it's very subtle, but then they've known each since like forever so I thinks it's very possible for my musings to be true."

The blond nodded, and turned to look at one of the combatants." Joey is that what's going on?"

"No, Jack delusional, it's just a staring contest." She kept Pacey's blue eyed glaze." Which I'm winning by the way."

"In your dreams Potter."

"My dreams are spent on my much better things then you Pacey."

"You two are so childish." Jen snapped her hands in their faces breaking the game up, and shook her head." The most immature people I ever met, and I dated Dawson, I can't believe that you did that creek in November you could have died, not mention the gossip that will rise from it.

"What gossip, how's anyone going to find out?" Pacey asked.

"Oh cause me and Jen are telling people." Jack said as he nodded, and then pointed to Grams who was on the phone in the family room." Plus Grams is telling Bessie and Your Mom, so now you're in trouble too."

Jen glared at her two friends she knew that Pacey loved Joey, and that Joey had some kind of feelings for Pacey , though what exactly she wasn't sure, she didn't think Joey knew for sure, but their relationship was changing and not entirely for the better. Especially now that their attraction was taking on a more psychical form, and it wasn't a good type of psychical. "You know if you two keep this up then Jack and I aren't going to invite you with us on our weekend getaway."

Joey drop open her mouth first in disappointment then in confusion." Where would you go?"

"See Ms. Smarty Pants you think you know everything, but you don't, did you know that Jack dads own a hunting cabin not more then 40 miles outside of Capeside, and that it's Jack job to close it or open it, I don't know what do something for hunting season." Jack waves her explanation away and takes over.

"Anyway, we were going to invite you, but if you two can't get along then we'll just go alone."

Pacey scoffed. "And do what rate the super hunks all weekend."

" Hey don't knock it till you're tried it, we have had many good times fighting over that very topic, and it would better then having to referee one of your fights that seems to be gaining momentum in their danger." Jen looked in the family room where Gram was still on the phone." Of course I guess the invitation also depends on if you're allowed to go, after all and I'm quoting Gram's here "they're behaving like immature children'."

"Plus there is that whole dating thing."

Pacey stopped staring at Joey and turned to look at Jack." What dating thing?"

"Oh." Jen agreed patting Jack head." I hadn't thought of that; Good point."

"What point?" Joey asked now as confused as Pacey.

"Well before you weren't dating so us going away wouldn't have been a problem, but now there's going to be that whole issue of you going away with your boyfriend and the sleeping situation, and no chaperone, and blah , blah, and ect, ect." Jack began to pout and gave Joey and Pacey and evil look." Come to think of it, you two are really upsetting my plans."

Jen yanked on Jack's sleeve, and shook her head at him." Remember the rules Jack."

"No blondes." He glances at her and frowns, she closed her eyes and gave a sigh and nodded toward Joey who was eyeing him with a strange glint in her eyes." Oh….Tease Joey, but never tick her off."

"Don't be afraid of Potter, Jackers, she's all smoke no fire." Pacey said as gave the object of their discussion a placating smile, before he groaned ad grabbed his shin under the table, which was now aching from the swift kick it just received. "Watch it; you could end back in that creek."

"No she will not Pacey John Witter, neither one of you will do something so childish again." Grams said as she walked into the kitchen. "The creek is much too cold for that kind of foolishness, I can't believe you did that, you children could have caught your death a cold." Pacey and Joey dropped their heads and stared at the table, ashamed they disappointed her." As it is, you've only just avoiding a punishment, and lucky for you I was able to talk Bessie and Mary into letting you go with Jack when he goes to close his father's cabin." When both teens looked up with a large grin on their faces she broke the final news." Yes I think we'll all enjoy some time in the country." As fours head turned to look at her in confusion, she just smiled." You didn't really think that four teenagers no matter what their relationships or sexual preferences would just e given free reign in a cabin alone miles away from home for the week end did you?" At their looks she laughed." Silly children."
