Chapter #9

(Joey's pov)

" Ok, come on. Time for bed Joey. You're falling asleep. Lets go, upstairs.", orders Pacey before picking me up in his arms. Wiping the sleep from my eyes, I glance up at Pacey tired. What does he think that he is doing? We're still watching the movie, its not even half way over. Why is he carrying me? I'm pretty sure that I know how to walk. I don't need Pacey to pick me up like a baby.

" What? No way I'm still watching the movie. I know how to walk Pacey.", I complain while trying and failing to wriggle free from his hold on me. Giving up finally, I decide its best just to let Pacey bring upstairs. I really didn't feel like walking upstairs anyway. If it were up to me I'd have just slept on the couch with Pacey all night. Its nice being in his arms, he's always warm all the time.

Carrying me upstairs to my room, Pacey places me in bed," There you go, all tucked in nice and cozy. See you in the morning Joe."

Grabbing hold of Pacey's hand, I stop him from leaving," Where are you going, Pace?"

" To the guest room Joe.", answer Pacey with a tired look in his eyes. With a shake of my head, I sit up in bed as I look up at him. He can't leave me alone. We just spent the night watching scary movies. Does he honestly think that I want to sleep alone right now? Pacey's staying in here and sleeping near me whether he likes it or not. I'm not exactly giving him a choice in the matter. (End Joey's pov)

(Pacey's pov)

" No, stay. Please, Pace?", pleads Joey with a look of desperation in her eyes. Staring down at my hand in Joey's, I can feel her grip tighten on mine. She really wants me to sleep with her tonight? Wow, I never thought that I would live to see this day. Who would have thought that all it would take was few scary films to have Joey lay in my arms all night? Damn, I should have thought of this sooner.

" You want me to sleep with you? You're such a scaredy cat Potter.", I grumble in reply before kicking out of my shoes and taking off my shirt. Staring down at Joey, I gulp to myself. Is this such a good idea? What if I can't control myself? Seriously, I'm going to be sleeping beside Joey all night. Who knows whats up to pop up. Maybe this is the brightest idea. Its not like I can say no though, its Joey. I would be an idiot if I did.

" Well, normally no. but we just watched four hours of scary movies. ...Thanks, you're the best Witter.", mumble Joey with relief as she make room for me in bed. Staring down at Joey, I hesitate before climbing in beside her. I'm not all that sure that I can last an entire night in bed beside Joey. This is going to be torturous for me. Her skins so soft and she smells of lavender, my sense are already going wild as we speak. Lay beside her might be the death of me.

Smiling up at me, Joey kisses me on the cheek sweetly," Good night, Pace."

Sighing to myself as Joey pulls me down next to her, I wrap her in my arms," Yeah, your lucky that I like you. Night Potter." ….(End Pacey's pov)
