Description: this is a story I have been working on for a while. This is my fifth Dawson's Creek story. I'll writing this as well as Conflicted Love, Love Unrequited, Unlikely Pair and Clueless Affection on here now.

Author's note: this is my fifth try at a Dawson's creek story, be nice to me please. This is a Pacey/Joey fic, my version of how they got together and it is set in season one. Wanted to switch things up for a change and try something different. Enjoy and review thanks
Chapter #8
(Joey's pov)
"With you, Witter?", I find myself pondering aloud after a minute or so of silence. It is a stupid question, I know. But why the hell would Pacey Witter be asking me to have dinner with him? This makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. I am beyond confused right now. Pacey has me completely dumbfounded. I can't help wondering what he is up to.
"Do you see anyone else around?", jokes Pacey with a nervous chuckle before shifting from one foot to the other. What is he so jumpy about? ….Oh my god, what if Bessie talked to him? What if she told Pacey that she thought I liked him? What if he now thinks that I do and that is why he is asking me out? Crap. What am I supposed to do? I don't like Pacey! ….Or, at least I don't think that I do. I am so dead right now.
"Well, no. it's just….did Bessie put you up to this Pace?", I demand in a blunt manner as I turn to face Pacey now. I'll bet anything that she did. Why wouldn't she? Bessie gets her rocks off torturing me, I swear she does. She has been consistently nagging me ever since our little talk yesterday afternoon. Bessie simply refuses to let up, doesn't she? I swear if she had a talk with Pacey, I will kill her when I get home.
"No, why would she?", pries Pacey with a baffled look taking over his features. Wait, is he being serious right now? Bessie didn't talk with him? I don't get it then. Why on earth would Pacey Witter ask me out to dinner with him? Is he simply being nice, or is he up to something that I don't know about? Should I let my guard down or go in defensive mode? I wish that I knew what to do right now.
Counting the last of my tips once more, I pull my apron off," Bessie seems to think that you and I should date."
Nearly choking on his soda, Pacey coughs loudly," She what? Where on earth would Bess get a crazy idea like that? You and I are polar opposites Joe."
"That is exactly what I said, Pacey. Bessie is completely crazy right? She is convinced that you and I have a thing for one another though Pace.", I confide with a frown and shrug of my shoulders. I don't know where Bessie comes up with these absurd ideas. I mean, come on Pacey and I? Bess couldn't have things more wrong. Pacey and I are barely friends. There is no way in hell we have feelings for one another. ….(End Joey's pov)
