Crazy Love

Chapter #6

(Joey's pov)

" Well, what did you think Joey?", inquires Pacey when we're done eating. Got to be honest, that meal was amazing. I did not know Pacey had it in him. He seriously does have a knack for cooking. Wonder where he got it from? He is definitely going to be cooking for me more often. Ugh, I have never been this full in my entire life. That was the best lasagna I have had so far. Maybe I should pick a meal to cook for him one night. I know my way around the kitchen too. This could be out thing, Witter and I could cool for one another. Maybe turn it into a competition see who makes the better meals.

" Don't take this the wrong way Pacey, but I'm like half in love with you right now.", I gush with a smirk. Helping Pacey with the last of the dishes, I sit back at the able with a glass of milk. Damn Pacey knows what he is doing in the kitchen. Bet if Bodie tasted his cooking, he might hire Pace as a part time chef at the Ice House. Lord knows he could use the help. Bodie should not have to work six days a week just to help keep us afloat. Besides, not like Pacey isn't already always at the Ice House nagging me anyway.

" We make a good team don't we Potter? ...I should probably head out though, see you around?", asks Pacey while pulling on his shoes. Whoa, where is he going? doesn't Pace know that I am alone? The last thing I want is to sleep here all by myself again. Would it be so wrong if he stayed the night? It would be a blast, we could stay up all night talking and just movies. Does he want to leave or does Pacey think that I was going to ask him to go? If I pleaded with him to stay, would he? I don't want to spend another night alone.

" Do you have to leave Witter?", I find myself asking in a low voice. Blocking his path, my eyes meet his with a silent plea in them. We are having such a nice time and I just really need Pacey not to go. Does he want to? Judging by the look on his face, I don't think he does. Maybe he was just hoping I would ask him to stay. Biting down on my bottom lip, I touch my hands to Pacey's. This catches his attention and he kicks his shoes off once more with a smile. Does that mean he isn't going to leave me?

With a mere shake of his head, Pacey tosses his keys onto the table," No, I don't have to go anywhere Jo."

Thankful that he is staying, I pounce on Pacey happily. Knocking him back onto the couch, I smother him with kisses," You're the best Pace. This house gives me the creeps at night all alone."

" Is that all it took for a kiss Potter?", teases Pacey with a smile. Following me upstairs, he kicks out of his shoes. Guess maybe I got a tiny bit carried away. Why would Pace ever want me to kiss him though? It is not as though he were into me or anything. We can hardly stand one another the thought of Witter having feelings for me...it is just crazy. Then again, is it possible that I could be into him? To be honest, I have never considered Pacey and option. Not because I don't find him attractive, he's just sort of annoying.

" Wasn't aware you ever wanted one Witter.", I point out before disappearing into the bathroom. Walking out a minute or so later in pajamas, I glance over at Pacey sitting on the edge of my bed. Perhaps I did not think things through. The two of us are going to be sharing a bed tonight? This is something I did not put into consideration. Lying next to Pacey all night? One look at him lets me know he is just as nervous as I am. This is stupid, I have spent the night at Dawson's a million times. Why should one night with Pacey be any different from those?

" Any guy would be lucky to have you on his arm Jo.", advises Pacey in a gruff manner. There is a sincerity in his eyes that tells me he meant every word of what he said. Times like this, I can't help wondering if maybe Jen could be onto something. Is Pacey into me? If he is not once has he ever said anything to me. If I asked him, would he tell me the truth? Do I like Witter? While the thought has never crossed my mind, I have noticed that he is the person I go to with any problems I have. He has sort of become my safe haven. Whenever something is bothering me, I seek out Pacey.

" I don't believe you...but thanks Pace.", I confide with a tired smirk and a playful shove. Crawling into Pacey's arms, I settle down against him with a sleepy breath. There is something about being in Pacey's arms that makes me feel like I am safe. Maybe the guy I had been talking about earlier was Pacey. I have noticed myself secretly wanting to spend more time with him. Often I catch myself looking for just about any reason to be near him. Is it the same for him? Pacey had been showing up at the Ice House so often that Bess gave him a job. Could he have been hanging around just to be near me or was he hoping to run into someone else?

Touching a hand to my waist, Pacey whispers in my ear," You really have no idea how beautiful you are, do you?"

Shuddering at Pacey's touch, I tilt my up head up until our lips meet," You have got to stop saying things like that Witter." ….

(Pacey's thoughts)

Holy crap what the hell just happened? Joey and I just slept together. That was not supposed to happen at all. Do I regret it? Hell no, she was my first and I was hers. What the hell were we thinking though? Sex was the furthest thing from my mind until Jo kissed me. That is when every rational thought went out the door. Does she regret the decision? Is she going to hate me in the morning? Judging by the way Joey is clung to me, I want to say no. But I have no clue what she is thinking. When she sat on top of me, my entire lower half went numb and I knew that it was over.

It was difficult to hide my arousal. When Jo felt it poke at her thigh, I thought for she sure was going to kick me out of bed in disgust. That wasn't the case though. Before I knew what was happening she had her shirt and my pants off. There was no putting up a fight when Jo slid that rubber on and lowered herself onto me. It was amazing, though I had to hold her hand through the painful part. Once that was over Joey all but wore me out. Not sure what this means. Are we together now? Was this a one time thing? Was Potter just lonely? There are so many questions I need to ask her but am too afraid to.

(Joey's thoughts)

Oh my God, I just slept with Pacey Witter. How the hell did this happen? Cannot believe he was my first time, fairly certain I was his too. What was I thinking? Do I regret it? To be honest, no. What does this mean though? Am I into Pacey? Obviously I must be if I slept with him. Even now, I am lying in his arms. We're both naked under the covers. This is going to be an awkward conversation in the morning time. I am not even sure what came over me. After I kissed Pacey, his hands began to wander and eventually they found their way between my thighs. He had me going more then a few times and before I knew it, I was lowering myself atop him.

It hurt like hell for a while, Pacey held my hand through every step though. It was actually really sweet of him. After almost two hours of going at it we finally collapsed again each other both exhausted. Neither of us have said a word since. Currently I am all but clung to Pacey's chest and just enjoying being in his arms. What does this mean for the two of us? Are we a thing now? Was it just a one time hook up? Is Witter even into me or was he just glad to have sex for the first time? The answer to the last question is the one that scares me the most. Not once have I ever felt so vulnerable in my entire life. ...
