Joey stared up at her ceiling and let out a deep breath. Ever since Joey had gotten done with her work she had been bored out of her mind.
She was about to call Pacey but realized that it was the middle of the night and he was most likely fast asleep. But ever since he had gone back to Capeside for the restaurant yesterday she felt lonely and simply out of it.
That was one of the many reasons why she was calling him because she felt like the more he was gone the more she was craving to hear his voice.
For the past two weeks, he was staying over at her place. That was until last night when Doug threatened to close down the restaurant if he didn't come back because everything was falling apart without him in Capeside.
But without him in New York, she felt like she couldn't do anything right. Like how she couldn't edit her work without thinking about him. Or how at dinner, she burned a simple recipe that Pacey could have easily cooked for her.
The most lonely she felt was at nighttime when nobody was cuddling against her and the room was silent. Nobody was reading to her before she went to bed. It was just her and her thoughts.
As she was laying in bed, she looked at the clock and it was 3:20. She decided enough was enough and she was going to pick up her phone and then call him.
Within the fifth ring, Pacey picked up.
"Hello?"
"Hi," Joey whispered and then turned to her side.
"Joey, it's three in the morning."
"I know."
"Well, I love you but is there a reason why you are calling me?"
Joey was silent as she started to play with her fingers.
"Jo? Is something wrong?"
"I just feel like I can't do anything right. This morning, I messed up editing this script I been working on all week. Then I messed up cooking dinner but now I can't sleep because all I want is you next to me."
"I definitely couldn't focus, either."
Joey looked up and let out a small smile.
"Really?"
"Oh, yeah. When I was done at the restaurant it felt as if I was missing something then when I got inside my apartment and I realized that something is the fact that you aren't here. It is truly a bummer that the restaurant can't transport to New York so I can kiss you from your apartment right now to help both of us focus."
Joey was silent as she thought very carefully about what to say next.
"Do you think this is a sign, that I should move down to Capeside?"
Pacey was quiet for a minute and Joey felt like chickening out on that idea. Maybe it was too soon?
"Did I just scare you?"
"No, no. I think that sounds fantastic but Joey is that what you want."
"I want to be wherever you are, Pace."
"I want to go wherever you are as well."
Joey smiled as she turned on her light and grabbed her computer.
"Do you think you can keep me company until I finish my work?"
She could hear Pacey laugh as she got all her papers.
"It's the middle of the night, Joey."
"I know but now I feel as if I can focus now that I hear your voice."
"I will stay as long as you need me for."
The two of them stayed on the phone for a couple of hours till Joey finished all her work. Pacey spent that time, talking to her and helping her with her ideas. But, the two would get distracted and start talking about their day and more about her moving to Capeside.
Even though, she felt like she hadn't got many things done. Joey knew one thing that came out of this day, which was the fact that her decision to move to Capeside was the best decision she made all day.
She couldn't wait for Pacey to hold her in his arms while doing work instead of holding a phone. But she will wait, she will wait for what seemed like forever if needed to be. Because forever was the amount of time she was going to spend with Pacey after the move.
