8. Edge of Desire

(Jen's POV)

I didn't want move back, here," I yelled hanging up the phone."Why is Capeside not as fun as Boston?" Pacey asked placing his arm gently on my shoulder."

You tell me Pacey?" I said rolling my eyes. Somehow feeling Pacey's arm on my shoulder made for calm and safe almost.

"Must be having boy troubles. Come Jen you really shouldn't take personal calls at work. It does not say much for your work ethic."

Shit, my life was falling a part and Pacey was trying to act so impersonal. I know he's my boss, but he was my friend first. And to think go all those times I listen to him go on and on about his Joey problems in high school. Not too mention all those make out sessions we had while decided to be friends with benefits. Not that we had sex, but he still knew me well enough to treat me better then this. I mean what else had our friendship promise meant? I made it so I would have someone to be there for me. Lucky for him I needed this part time job at the Ice House to pay off my student loans just as much as he needed the help.

"Pacey..."I started to say.

He placed his hand over my mouth."I am going to stop you, Jen before you say something you regret. I know how you get when you lose your temper. Now come on let's go outside, and have a drink."Pacey took my hand and grabbed two beers as we headed to the back door. I looked up at the clock. Eleven o'clock at night. Closing time for the icehouse. However, the restaurant was still full of teenagers hanging out on Friday night. They didn't have many other choices in a small town like Capeside.

"I'll close it up," Nathan told Pacey. He must have been promoted or else he was trying to be, I thought as Pacey pushed me closer to the back door before I could tell him that I was going back to work.

"So you know I was teasing you in there? No way I could ever fire you for being your charming self," He said handing me the beer.

"Thanks Pace. Just having troubles with Victor again." I said, opening my can of beer.

"How bad of troubles?"

"It's really over this time." I said crying putting my head on his shoulder. Pacey moved closer and slowly put his arm around me. I couldn't help but notice again how sexy he was. And that notice how soft his arms where. . I wondered for a moment if he thought the same thing about me. I somehow doubted that he did or ever could. I mean over the past six months I had really started to care about him. All those cooking lessons, late night movies, and talks meant something to me. I know I said I only wanted friendship but now I wasn't sure mow. But did Pacey really want anything more then a one night stand ?

"You said that last time."

"We can't stop fighting, and he won't commit to this relationship. It's the same old drama. I am dating a man child.

""A man child?" He said almost laughing.I started to giggle too. He was holding me now in his arms and we were sitting face to face. I looked up right into his big blue green eyes, and he was looking into mine. We seat there for a few minutes in the silence just staring into each others eyes. But then the magic was broken when Pacey mention her.

"I understand, Jen. I tried to call Joey last week."

"How did that go?" I asked almost infuriated. Joey was always the certain of attention. Even if she wasn't in town.

"It didn't. Turns out she changed her cell phone number, and didn't give me the number."

"Ouch, that's got to hurt.""Yeah, but maybe it's a sign that she is moving on. And I should too. Or maybe I should to New York. Try to find her and win her back? What do you think?"

"You want the truth Pace?"

"Of course."

"What would you say if I wanted to get Dawson back?"

"Well.. I wouldn't say it's an excellent idea ,but I want you to be happy."

"My thoughts exactly Pace. Joey just isn't a good idea. Remember she told you that she just didn't feel it when you took her to the dance."

"Thanks for reminding me, Jen."

"Pacey, I am just saying maybe we should stop looking in the past and focus on what's right in front of us."

"I think I know exactly what you mean." Pacey said moving in closer. I could his feel his arms wrapping all the way around me. His hands going up my dress. And his lips touched mine. I knew there were a million reasons to stop. Victor. His feelings for Joey, but none of these reasons could overcome the desire I had for Pacey at that very moment. This moment had been a long time coming. I wanted him. So I kissed him back. His lips felts so warm against mine, and our bodies seem to fit each other perfectly. My mind told me it was wrong, but my body was screaming yes. In the end I knew my body would win over my mind. It always did in the past. We were laying there on the ground kissing in the moonlight. I could feel the grass across my legs, and I couldn't remember that last time I had felt so turned on.

"Jen?"

"Yeah, Pace?""Would it ruin the moment if I suggest we went inside?"

"Not at all. In fact we could even go to your apartment.""

All right just let me go check on things inside. Wait right here."Pacey ran inside, and I thought about what we were doing. I knew this wasn't the best idea. Sleeping with my boss who was also one of my oldest friends. I had stop this before and now I was letting it happen again. What was I thinking? Maybe I should just go. Walk away. But then Pacey came out car keys in hand.

"You ready to go Jen?" He asked putting his arm around me.

9. Walking After You

(Pacey's POV)

I could tell Jen was about to walk away from us again. But this time I had to go after her. I know we promised not to let sex ruin our friendship. But there was only so much a man could take. I had seen her walking around the apartment looking sexy as hell for months now. It took everything I had to not jump her. Then she tells me we need to move forward. That meant she wanted me as much as I wanted her right? So I had to stop her.

"Pacey..maybe this isn't such a good idea.." Jen started to say.

But I disregarded her statement. I had allready put my feelings out there with the kiss and I knew it was time I went for it. I never been scared to take chances in the past, I told myself. I wrapped my arms around her, and put my lips against hers. She kissed me, and I silently lead her to my car. Everything in our friendship had been leading up to this. From the first moment we meet by the creek when she got out the taxi. This was meant to happen. I just wondered why it take us so long. But I knew it would be worth the wait. I knew in that moment I was allready addicted to Jen even more we got together.

10. Promise not to stop when I say when

(Jen's POV)

Pacey stopped me from leaving. He wanted to take me home. And I felt like I needed him. Not just need, but I wanted him. We went back to his place and he offered me another beer. We both drunk more then we should have. Then it was back to kissing again. His lips felt so soft agaisnt mine. He gently lifted my dress over my head. He stopped and stared for a moment looking closely at my body. Then he started to kissed my neck moving down lower on my body. He layed me on the bed, and carefully removed my underwear. He undress himself and got on the bed with me. Then I could feel him sliding inside me, and my body was taken over with delight. Nothing had ever felt so right. His body just fit perfetly in mine, and I came almost at once. I moaned.

"Perfect..please don't stop." I said my finger nails digging into his back.

He grinned looking down at me,and continued to move inside me. Toward the end I screamed loudly in excitement.

"Wow," He said.

"My thoughts exactly." I said kissing him on the forehead. He then wrapped his arms around me, and we both feel asleep in each others arms. For that moment everything seemed right.
