"Here's your room, Mr. Witter. Enjoy your stay," the hotel's hostess said with a wink. Even she could tell how much Pacey truly cared about Joey.
"Okay, Jo. I'm gonna take off your blind fold soon." Pacey said anxiously. He made sure that the rose petals were scattered over the bed and the floor. He was so proud of himself with coming up with this idea. As he took of Joey's blindfold he did one quick glance around the room. Everything had to be perfect.
"Oh! Pacey! This is beautiful! Wait…is this….?" Joey exclaimed.
"Jo, this is the place where we first made love. On our winter senior trip. I brought you here because" as he says this, Pacey gets down on one knee and pulls out a box, Joey begins to cry "I wanted to ask you, Josephine Lillian Potter, to marry me and make me the happiest man alive."
Joey is bawling now. She can't believe Pacey. When he does something, he does it damn well. What could she say? Obviously her answer was yes, but 'yes' sounded kind of weak compared to Pacey's proposal.
"Jo, uh I'd kind of like an answer. Please. I love you." Pacey pleaded.
"Pacey. I love you with all my heart. You kissed me first darling. You said I love you first. You made the first move. But I have always always loved you. And so you know my answer. Yes. Pacey, yes. It would make ME the happiest woman alive to marry you."
Pacey gets up and slides the ring on Joey's left hand, but she isn't paying attention to that. Her eyes are fixated on Pacey's. He pulls her close and kisses her as tenderly as he did that winter night long ago. Joey's mind went. She had so much to do for a wedding! A wedding, she thought. How exciting. But who will we tell first?
"Pacey?"
"Jo…we're getting married. We have our entire LIVES to talk. We have this hotel room only for tonight."
"Pace, who did you tell? I mean, that you were proposing? Who are we gonna tell first? And the plans. Oh man all the plans. Pace—" Joey went off, but Pacey cut her short, putting his lips to hers shortly.
"Joey, I only told Bessie. Because I technically asked her permission. I would've asked your father, but I thought Bessie was a better person to ask. We can tell everyone tomorrow and start the plans tomorrow Jo. But tonight, lets just be together. Be in love. And get lost in our love for eachother."
"You know, we could abstain from sex before our wedding night. Wouldn't that be a nice tradition to follow?" Joey said teasingly.
"Woman you are killing me. We should've just eloped." Pacey said, but he wasn't really annoyed. How could he be? The person he had been in love with since he was 14 had agreed to marry him. He was the happiest person alive right now.
"You better watch your mouth, Witter, or I'll throw this ring right back in your face and you can forget this whole marriage thing. I mean, I've still got Bubba the trucker." Joey said copying Pacey's sarcasm.
"Come here," Pacey whispered to his fiancé as he kissed her tender lips. "I love you" he gently whispered into her ear as he led her body to the bed. This was the beginning of the their lives together. And both of them couldn't be happier.
