As Good As It Gets Part II

As Good As It Gets by Tamber
Part One continued

Dawson was sitting on his bed waiting for Joey to come over. He wanted to talk to her about Pacey. He told Dawson to keep it quiet, but Dawson couldn't keep this from Joey, his girlfriend, the love of his life. He heard something climb up the ladder. He knew it was Joey. "Hey, Jo. What took so long?" Dawson asked her, as she entered the window.
"Well, your phone call woke me up this morning. Then I ate and then I brought Jen back home. What did Pacey and you do last night?
"We hung out. We did this and that. What did Jen and you do last night?" Dawson, who had this childish smile on his face, asked his girlfriend.
"We hung out . We did this and that." She mocked her boyfriend and walked over and kissed him.
"Joey, guess what I found out last night?"
"What?"
"Well, my spend the night buddy has a thing for your spend the night buddy." Dawson said.
"Well, Dawson, I found out that spend the night buddy has a thing for your spend the night buddy. But, that's stay out of this. Jen wants them to get together naturally. But, if they don't do anything in a month or two, that's when we get involved." Joey said and Dawson agreed with Joey.
"Do you know, I find it sexy when you use your brain?" Dawson said, in a sexy voice.
"Then you should find me sexy all the time." Joey kissed him. They laid on the bed and started to make out. Joey was thinking to herself, *Tonight is the night. I am ready and he's ready. I'd do it now but I don't know if his parents are here. Another big thing is: I don't know if he has protection.* Joey broke the kiss. "Dawson, let's do something different tonight. I'm not tired of movie night, but I want to do something romantic tonight. I'll leave it you to you." With that she gave him a kiss and started out the window, but she=stoped when she saw something at Jen's house.
"Joey, what's wrong?" Dawson asked with a worried look on his face.
"Nothing but your spend the night buddy is at my spend the night buddy's house. I don't want to go yet. I don't want to spoil what's going on down there."
"I understand completely. Want to watch a movie, Joey?"
"Sure, do you have 'Dirty Dancing'?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jen heard an knock at the door and discovered a nervous looking Pacey at her door. "Hey, Pacey. What's up? Have fun at Dawson's last night?" Jen asked, as she stepped out on the porch.
"Yeah we had fun last night. What about Joey and you?"
"It was great. So what's up, Pacey?" Jen asked.
"Well, Jen I was wondering if you would like to go to dinner and a movie tonight with me?" Pacey said, with as calm of a voice as he could.
"Yeah. I'd loved, too, Pacey."
"Really?!? Great! I'll pick you up at 7. Bye, Jen"
"Bye, Pacey."
Jen walked into the house and collapsed on the couch. *He asked me out. Maybe he's the type of man I need. Whoa, I just called Pacey a man. Well,he is.*
Jen got up and walked to her room. She had to find something extra special to wear. Jen looked out her window and noticed Joey walking toward the dock. *I need to tell someone else. I'm about to explode. Maybe she can help me pick out something to wear.* Jen thought right before she called out the window. "Joey, can you come over for a few minutes? There is something I need to tell you."
"Sure, Jen." Joey called back.
"I'll meet you at the door."
With that Jen ran down the stairs to meet Joey.
"What's up, Jen? Where's your grandmother?" Joey asked as Jen invited Joey up to her room.
"She went out of town for one of her many conferences. Guess who just asked me out!" Jen said excited.
Joey knew who it was but she said, "The Monster From The Blue Lagoon?"
"No, but good guess. Pacey did. I can't wait till tonight."
"That's great, Jen. I'm happy for you." Joey said, with complete sincerity.
"Could you help me pick out something to wear tonight, Joey." Jen asked her.
Joey was surprised, "I'm not the world's best dresser, but yeah, I'll help."
They went throught Jen's clothes for more than an hour, but they found the best outfit. It was a green, button down, long sleeve shirt, a pair of khakis and a pair of dark brown Timberlands. It was dressy but casual, simple but sexy.
"Thanks, Jo. If I would have picked something out, I think it would of been to trashy." Jen said as she looked over her outfit again. *It was perfect.* Jen thought.
"No you would have picked out something nice. Can I ask you a question?" Joey asked with a serious, yet shyful and embarrassed look on her face.
"Yeah, Jo" Jen was wondering what it could be.
"Well, Dawson and I are planning something romantic and I was wondering if you might have any condoms, just in case something does happen."
"Well, I might have a few left from my wild days." Jen looked in a desk drawer.
"Here you go, Jo." Jen handed Joey two condoms. Hey, I'm glad you could ask me. I hope you have a great night."
"You too, Jen. Bye." With that Joey walked out the door.
Jen then started to prepare for her date with Pacey.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dawson was going over what he was going to plan to do with Joey later that night. He had almost everything set up. He found out earlier that his parents were going to a marriage group for a few days. This made Dawson extremely happy. He had almost everything planned, but he thought of some thing he needed. With that, he ran out of his house and headed to Pacey's.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Pacey was going through his clothes trying to find something descent to wear for his date with Jen. *I have never worried this much about what I was going to wear on a date like this before.* He thought to himself. *But, this is Jen.* His thoughts were stopped, when he heard a knock at the door. "Come in. It's open." He yelled from the top of the stairs.
"Pacey, what's up? Where is everybody?" Dawson said as he emerged from the door.
"Hey, man. They all went to my grandmother's. I told them I couldn't go because I have a date." Pacey said proudly, then asked. " What brings you to the Witter family house?"
"Pacey, I needed to ask you if you have any condoms?" Dawson asked as he turned red from embarrassment.
"Yeah, I have a few. Hang on, I'll go get some." Pacey walked to his room and gave two to Dawson. " What do you have planned with our virginal friend?" Pacey asked out of shock. *Joey and Dawson in bed.* Pacey thought to himself.
"Well, I've planned something romantic. If something does happen, I wanted to be ready. That's it." Dawson said, but he remembered something Pacey had said earlier. "Who do you have a date with tonight, Pace?"
Now it was Pacey's turn to blush. "A certain blonde from New York who lives next door to you."
Dawson was amazed, but relived. *Now Jen has someone so she can leave Joey and me alone.* He thought but replied. "Great man. Have fun. I'll see you later, Pace."
"Bye, Dawson." Dawson turned and left for the door. But Pacey quickly added.
"You better treat her right."
"I will, Pace. Don't worry. I love her." Dawson said as he walked out the door.
Pacey then went to his room and started to get ready for his date.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Joey was in her room getting ready for her date, with the love of her life. She was deciding what to wear. *Somthing sexy!* She thought and pulled out the best outfit.It was a white, button down long sleeve blouse and a black skirt, that ended right before her knees. Then she put on a little make-up, and curled her hair. She was ready for anything that happened on their date tonight.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Pacey walked up to Jen's door at 6:55. He was carrying a single, red rose. He knocked on the door. Jen yelled, from somewhere inside." Come on in. I'll be down in a second."
He walked in and sat on the couch. He heard her walking down the stairs and stood up. She showed herself and said. "Hey, Pacey."
"Hey." He choked out. "You look great. Past great, amazing."
"Thanks, Pace. You don't look that bad yourself." Jen said. He was wearing a pair of khakis and a green Tommy shirt.
"Here you go, beautiful." He said, handing the rose to her.
"Thanks. Shall we go?" She said in her worst rich person accent.
"We shall." Pacey said in his worst rich person voice. He opened her front door and let her go out. Then he pulled the door behind shut behind him.
"So Pacey, did your dad let you have the truck or did you steal it?" Jen asked laughing.
"Believe it or not, he let me have it. Where do you want to eat tonight, Jen?" He asked as they started towards town.
"How about the Icehouse?" Jen said as she looked at him.
"Sounds good to me." Pacey said as he kept driving.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Joey rowed to Dawson's in her boat. She tied the boat to the dock, then walked across the yard to the ladder. She noticed a sign on the ladder. It read.

'Jo. Go through the front door, please. Love Always, Dawson.'

She grabbed the sign and walked to the front door. She wondered what he had planned. Joey opened the front door and stopped in shock. There was a line of white and red long stemmed roses heading straight to the dining room. Joey found Dawson setting the dinning room table. "Dinner is almost ready. Have a seat and I will be back shortly." He gave her a kiss, then walked into the kitchen.
*This is amazing.* Joey thought. *Candle lit dinner. Romantic music in the background. And whatever Dawson is wearing, it must be new. I have never seen him in those khakis and that blue dress shirt. He looks amazing.*
Dawson walked back to the dining room with a bowl of salad. He sat it down on the table. He gave Joey another kiss and walked back into the kitchen. He returned with a bowl of spaghetti. "Dinner is served." He replied.
"Dawson, this is amazing." She said, as she reached for some salad.
"No, you don't." Dawson said. "I'll do it for you." He served her some salad and then some spaghetti.
"Dawson, you look amazing." Joey said as he sat back down. "You do, too."
They both talked and ate their dinner.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Pacey and Jen had just finished dinner. They were now heading for the movies. "What movies playing, Pace." Jen asked.
"I don't know. But I think it is 'Can't Hardly Wait'."
"I've been wanting to see that movie."
"Great. Now let's go." Pacey said, as they headed for the movies.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dawson and Joey finished their dinner. "Joey, come with me." He got out of his seat and grabbed Joey's hand. She didn't try to stop him. Dawson lead her to his room, where he had sat out white candles all over the room. Joey couldn't believe what she saw. She never thought his room could be that beautiful. But it was. Dawson lead her to the bed, where they both sat down.
"Joey, do you want to watch a movie?" Dawson asked.
"Not really, but I want to do this." She leaned over and kissed him. It was the most passionate kiss she had ever kissed him with.
Dawson laid Joey on the bed. Joey started to move her hands down his back. She started to pull his shirt out from his pants.
Dawson broke the kiss and asked Joey, "Are you ready for this?"
"Yeah." It was the only word she replied.
Then the two took turns removing articles of clothing. Piece by piece till the last piece was on the floor, next to the bed.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After the movie, Pacey started to drive Jen home, but he realized that it was only 11:00. "Jen, it's only 11:00. Do you want to take a walk through the ruins?" Pacey asked, not really wanting to take her home.
"Sure. Grams isn't home. So, she won't know I was late."
Pacey drove up to the ruins and parked his truck. He opened the door for Jen, then he grabbed Jen's hand and lead her through the ruins. They stopped and sat near the lake looking at it in silence, still holding hands.
"Jen, I've had a great night tonight." He said, looking at her and smiling.
"I have too, Pacey." She said, as she stood up. "Pace, I'm getting tired. Can you take me home?"
"Sure, I can Jen." He leaned over and gave Jen a kiss. "Come on." They walked back to the truck hand in hand. Then he took the most amazing girl home from the most perfect date in the world.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dawson laid in his bed holding on to Joey. She was already asleep. He couldn't believe the night they had. He wouldn't know what he would do without Joey.* I don't think I will ever find out either.* He thought. He kissed her on the forehead and went to sleep.
