Invisible String - Pacey Witter

Chapter Thirty-One

♡➶︎♡

All along there were an invisible string tying you to me

Pacey and Dawson hung out all day, leading them to have a sleepover too I guess.

They are watching an older movie, but hopefully Dawson falls asleep soon enough.

I lay in my bed waiting for him to finally come into my room. Although, it might be best if he didn't.

I go downstairs and snack a little. I needed something to keep me occupied.

I walk back up the stairs but am quickly pulled into my room where the door shuts as quickly as Pacey kisses me.

We kiss until we fall into my bed and I laugh.

"Pacey" I smile and laugh to him. "We shouldn't when he's next door. What if he walks in?"

"He is asleep" he laughs and kisses me again.

"You're lucky then" I say continuing our kiss. "We just can't be too loud."

We kiss and make out on my bed for a while until he suggests we go out and hang out in the bed of his truck.

We take some of my blankets and head out as quietly as we can.

We had a game plan: we stay out for a while and watch the stars until a reasonable time when he sneaks up through Dawson's ladder and I go back through the door.

We go out and lay in his truck while we snuggle up next to each other.

"I could stay like this forever" I tell him.

"You've said that many times" he laughs.

"I know, and I mean it each time. I just like this."

"And what is this?"

"Being with my boyfriend, just with you. I mean we aren't talking the whole time, even the silence is comfortable. I mean I could talk or stay silent with you forever."

"Yeah, I agree. This is better than anything."

"Better than your boat?"

"Ooh maybe second place then."

"Pacey" I laugh and hit his arm.

"When this is all over and we are official to the public, what will our first date be" he asks. "What is the total and perfect date for you that I can officially take you on Ms. Daphne Leery?"

"I don't want an official to the public date, I like the dates we have in general" I answer.

"Not good enough."

"Whatever Pacey, I like just sitting next to you in your truck, or eating at the diner, or getting milkshakes with you. I like those things."

"How about, I take you out for a nice little dinner for Prom. Compromise?"

"Well would we have told the others by then?"

"I don't know, I would just want to take you out in a pretty outfit and treat you to a dinner like any other boyfriend."

"Pacey I don't need that, any other boyfriend. I want you to be yourself as a boyfriend. I want to date a Pacey, not an average guy."

"We will see, maybe I'll go cheap and just get us milkshakes."

"You better, I love milkshakes. You know when you are gone for the summer, those milkshakes are going to get me through my loneliness."

"Loneliness is dramatic" he laughs. He stares at me for a while as silence keeps it's company. We smile to each other for a while until he interrupts. "Come with me."

"Pacey I just got comfortable in this truck bed, give me a minute."

"No" he laughs. "I mean on the boat. Come with me this summer."

"Pacey I couldn't do that" I laugh. "And I swore boats off."

"Why not" he questions.

"I don't know, I just don't want to intrude. I also don't think I've planned my summer out enough for me to do something like that."

"Maybe think it out more, maybe things can change. And it's not intruding if I want you to come" He laughs.

"Well I'm going to let you know now that the possibility of me coming along is slim. But you will have to send me postcards" I tell him reaching my pinky out.

"Fine" he says linking out pinkies. "Have I ever told you how stubborn you are?"

"I think you should go" a voice says coming closer to us from outside the truck bed.
