Dawson: Joey, I'm sorry, it was Jen.

Joey: You don't have to explain Dawson. I know what's wrong and I think you need to rethink this relationship

I was pacing around the house doing laundry as Dawson tried to apologize.

Dawson: What? Why would I rethink us?

I stopped and looked at him as if he should know. He kept his confused face on.

Joey: Dawson, I know she's not over you and I know you were going to cancel on me yesterday.

Dawson: Joe, how did you know?

Joey: Who cares how I found out, just face it and make this easier for the both of us. You want Jen back.

Dawson: Now listen Joey-

Joey: No, I've heard enough of excuses. I want you to come clean and even if you don't I won't believe you or you would have taken me out last night!

Dawson: Joey, listen to me

Joey: Dawson, just

He stopped me from pacing.

Dawson: Listen to me.

We both sat down quietly.

Dawson: Jen does still have feelings for me. But the reason I stayed with her was because of her grandpa. He died a couple of days ago. Joey, you know I want you.

I felt horrible and stayed quiet. I should have just let him talk or I wouldn't feel as crappy as I do right now.

Joey: I'm sorry Dawson.

Dawson took my hand and pulled me closer to him. He kissed my cheek.

Joey: I should get a shower, I'm not dressed yet.

I looked down at my sleeping clothes and laughed a little.

Dawson: No, you're beautiful. Stay here.

He wrapped his arms around my waist and kissed me. The weird thing was that when he called me beautiful, he made me feel beautiful. He makes me feel pretty and wanted.

Dawson: Now, let's do things right tonight. You and me, a picnic by on the dock in my backyard right at sunset.

I kissed him and got up to get a towel.

Dawson: You do your shower, and I will meet you at about 7:00 tonight. I'm going to check out what's going on with Pacey and Andie.

Joey: Andie McPhee? The blonde?

Dawson: Yep. I saw him giving her funny looks the other day in Biology.

I had a shocked looked on my face. Although it didn't shock me that much so I headed for the shower as Dawson kissed me one last time and left.

Pacey: Andie?

He looked around in his bedroom for her.

Andie: I'm in here, your closet.

She came out and trash followed behind.

Pacey: What the?

Andie: Geeze Pacey, clean your closet.

Pacey: Sorry, I've been waiting for a girl to do that for me. Oh hi Andie.

He smiled and Andie rolled her eyes.

Andie: You just think you're so cute and funny don't you Witter.

Pacey: Oh come on, take a joke McPhee. Besides, you cure my boredom even though to do tend to get annoying.

Andie: Go be with that guy Dawson.

Pacey: Oh I wish. He's a little busy.

Andie: Doing what? Studying, like you should be doing?

Pacey: No, he just moved in on his long time best friend, that girl Joey Potter.

Andie: Oh I know her, she's pretty. They sound cute.

The phone rang and Pacey picked up.

Pacey: Hey Dawson, hows life treatin' you? Oh that's good, well that sounds pretty cool I'll meet you there so we can catch up. Alright. Later Dawson.

He hung up the phone and dropped it.

Dawson and Pacey sat down at the tables inside the Ice House.

Dawson: So what's with you and Andie?

Pacey passed him the menu.

Dawson: I'm having dinner tonight with-

Pacey: Joey?

He looked him beginning to feel bad about all of the time he was spending with Joey.

Pacey: Not too much, I think I'm going to ask her to be my girlfriend officially tomorrow.

Dawson: Wow wait a minute Pacey.

He laughed and took a sip of his ice water.

Dawson: You having an official girlfriend? Come on Pacey, are you getting something from her?

Pacey: No, Dawson. In fact I've changed my ways and you havn't really been able to notice because apparently you're getting some from Joey.

Dawson: Yeah. Joey Potter, finally giving some.

They both laughed and Dawson dwelled on Pacey's new behavior with girls. He began thinking of Tamara Jacobs and then now.
