It had been a week since he had seen Joey. A week since he had broken his heart telling her that he was leaving again. A week since he told her to move on from him before they could even start. He felt like shit. Knots swirling in his stomach.
He had visited with his family over the past week and as much as he figured it would be like getting his teeth pulled, it wasn't. His father actually pulled him aside giving him the fatherly talk he had always craved growing up, finishing with him announcing that he was proud of his son.
He had tried to work up the courage to knock on Dawson's door, try and work out the rift between them but he couldn't make his fist knock on the door. It wasn't his fault Dawson couldn't handle that he was in love with their friend, and it felt as if no matter what he said that wouldn't change anything.
He was surprised the previous night by a 'shipping off' party. Andie, Jack, Jen, Grams and Doug threw him a party by the water, not far from his boat. Offering best wishes and begging for his safety, words of love surrounded them.
He had gotten back to Doug's so shocked and overwhelmed that he couldn't sleep. Second guessing himself and the terrifying journey he was about to embark on. He felt loved but alone, his heart aching to have to leave.
He didn't want to deal with painful goodbyes, so he had Doug drop him off at the airport a few hours before his flight.
"Pace?"
Pacey inhaled audibly at the sound of her voice, his bag falling to the floor as he turned. "J…Jo." Pacey's eyes widened, finding the beauty before him. "What are you…" She cut him off barreling into him her arms curling around his neck as her legs curled around his waist her lips catching his in a fiery kiss.
Her tongue slipped between his lips as she clutched tighter to him, knocking his neatly placed cover to the floor.
Pacey moaned gripping her thighs to keep her to him as he responded to her heated kiss, his brain and body turning to goo with each passing second. After an intense and passionate minute, he pulled back panting. "Jo?"
Cupping the back of his head she grinned breathing heavily, her eyes falling victim to his. "I love you Pacey J. Witter, come back to me safely."
Pacey's eyes widened in shock, his grip loosening slightly making her jostle in his arms. "Wha…you love me?"
Joey nodded vigorously letting her legs slide down his thighs until she stood in front of him, her palms gripping his uniform to keep him close. "More than my next breath. You're going to finish your contract and come back…no matter where I am or what I'm doing I want to be with you."
The shock he had on his face turned into utter astonishment. "Are…are you sure?"
Cupping his cheeks Joey nodded once more. "Pacey…I have never been more sure of anything in my life."
"O…ok." Pacey barely got the words out before she pulled him back in tangling her lips with his.
