Missing you (Part 2)

Pacey drove around Boston. Nothing much to do in a big city like this when your friends ditch you to go make out, he thought. He found a burger joint nearby and stopped off there to grab a bite. Inside, many teenagers hung around. Pacey spotted a pretty, brunette staring at him.
" Hey man! Whatcha want?" asked the guy at the counter.
" Um...double cheeseburger, large fries and a large Coke." Man, that girl is soooo fine, Pacey kept thinking. He paid for his order and sat at a nearby empty table. Pacey spotted the brunette walking towards him. Damn! She's coming over here, he thought, I gotta chill, or else it'll be worse than the incident with the cheerleaders.
" Hello there. Is this seat taken?" the brunette asked.
" Ummm...no, no," replied Pacey. He was totally losing it. She sat down across from him. " My name is Stephanie, Stephanie Williams."
" Name's Pacey. Pacey Witter," Pacey said nervously.
" So, Pacey, are you new here? I haven't seen you here before."
" Oh, I'm just in Boston for a couple of days for the film festival."
" The Boston Film Festival, right. Are you a film maker?" asked Stephanie.
" No, I'm just here to cheer on my two friends. One's nominated for Best Actress, and the other for Best Screenplay and Best Director. I was in their movie, but I guess I didn't cut it," said Pacey sadly. " So you live here?"
" Yah, been here all my life. Nice city. So where you from?"
" Uh, Capeside, the most boring town in the whole world," laughed Pacey.
" Capeside?"
" Yah, been there?"
" A couple of times. Most boring place in the whole world," laughed Stephanie as she repeated what Pacey had said.
" So you here alone?" asked Pacey.
" No, my parents live here, and also my older brother." Pacey laughed. He didn't mean in Boston. " Um, let me rephrase that question. Uh, you here, as in here right now, alone?"
" Oh, sorry. I thought you meant, as in Boston," laughed Stephanie," um...yah, I usually come down here for a bite. Usually to get away from my family. They're such a pain in the ass, especially my brother."
" Yah, I know what you mean. So you want to take a walk or something?" asked Pacey. He was hoping she would say yes.
" Well, since you don't seem like such a bad guy, sure. I'll show you the town. You drive?" She started to get up.
" Come here," said Pacey. He grabbed her hand and headed to the parking lot. " See that red Jeep? Mine!"
" Wow, it's nice. Thank god you drive, 'cause walking around in Boston at night isn't the best idea," said Stephanie with a smile. "Besides, walking around the whole town would take a year!" Wow, a great sense of humor and great looks! thought Pacey.
" Lead the way, Steph." Pacey pulled the car out of the parking lot and headed off for a night out on the town.

" Dawson, we should head back," said Joey, breaking the smooch-fest. " It's getting late and we still have the whole day tomorrow to go sight seeing."
" Okay." They walked back to the hotel. The 3 of them had said that only 2 rooms would be necessary, but hadn't decided on who would stay with who. Earlier, Pacey insisted that Dawson and Joey should share a room, and that King Pacey would have his own room. " Dawson, I don't know if this is a good idea?"
" What do you mean, Jo?"
" I mean that I feel like if I get into that same bed with you, my raging hormones will get out of control, and so will yours!"
" Jo, we've been sleeping in the same bed since we were little. Besides didn't we do that just a few nights ago and nothing happened."
" Fine, but if I start kissing you, it's you that suggested sleeping together," said Joey firmly.
" Then I'll just start kissing you. And that'll be your fault for kissing me first," Dawson said with a sly grin.
" Dawson! I'm serious. I'll give a try though."
" What? The kissing?"
" Noooo! Geez, Dawson! I mean the sleeping in the same bed without you know what." Lying on the bed they both tossed restlessly.
" Jo?"
" Hmmm....?"
" You love me, right?"
" Dawson, you know I do. Why?"
" Then why don't you want to sleep with me?"
" Um, isn't that what I'm doing right now?" said Joey. She knew what Dawson really meant, but she didn't know what else to say.
" No, Jo! You know what I mean. You know, um, sex."
" Dawson, I love you, but I don't want to end up like Bessie. Don't you think this is a little fast?"
" I guess. I don't know. I just don't know, Jo. Don't let me pressure you, but when you're ready, say so."
" Let me think about it, Dawson."
" Night, Jo," said Dawson sleepily.
" Night." She couldn't sleep that night. The previous conversation kept coming back into her mind. What should I do? She thought. Am I ready?

Back in Capeside that night, Jen and Cliff went to the movies, where Jen surprisingly had a wonderful time. Then they went for a walk on the dock. " Thanks Cliff, for the wonderful time. I really needed it," said Jen.
" No problem, Jen. You know I love you and that tonight meant the world to me."
" What? What did you jsut say?"
" Tonight meant the world to me?"
" No, Cliff, before that."
" I love you?"
" You love me?" asked Jen. The last person who said that to her was Dawson. She didn't know Cliff was so serious about her. " I didn't know."
" Why? Is is that hard to not notice?" asked Cliff. He seemed surprised that she hadn't known.
" Well, I didn't know you *loved* me. I just thought you were infatuated with me."
" No, Jen. I don't know, but it's different around you. With other girls I have to be the 'jock', the nice guy that everyone loves. With you, I can be myself."
Jen laughed. " Um, Cliff. I think you are the nice guy, even when you're around me. Jock or not, you're still Cliff."
" See, that's what I mean. Everyone wants to date the 'jock' not Cliff. You understand me. It may sound dumb hearing it from me but, you complete me." Jen didn't know what to say. An eerie silence and then Cliff laughed. " Please say something, Jen. I feel like a dork now." Do I like him? thought Jen. Then she thought about how happy Joey and Dawson were, and thought about what Cliff had just said. " Cliff, I....I...
