Joey/Katie POV
I screwed it up this time. Pacey only talks to me when he has to and other than that he avoids me. I keep waiting for him to throw me out but I know he won�t because I can�t remember my name. Maybe I should just give up the whole thing. It can�t make matters worse than they are now. However, that would mean I would have to give up this life and return to the crappy one that I escaped and I�m not sure I want to do that. I just wish there was something I could do. Whoever Andie was, she hurt him, a lot. But I�m not going to make matters worse by trying to find out how.
I�m in the back room of the restaurant that Pacey called his office. Finally I have caught up to this month�s books. Pacey�s a great cook and quite a charmer- which is obviously what keeps him in business, because he sucks at the money and business aspect. The only thing that kept him a little ahead was that Jen helped out when needed.
I enjoy doing the books, though. It keeps my math skills sharp and I don�t have to deal with annoying customers. That�s the best part.
�Katie,� Pacey says as he enters, breaking me out of my thoughts.
�Yes?� I answer looking up from the books.
�Do you want some dinner?� Pacey asks.
�What time is it?� I�ve been so involved in the books and my thoughts that I haven�t paid much attention to the time.
�Almost seven,� he replies.
�Oh sure, I guess,� I say. �I didn�t realize it was so late.�
Pacey brings in two plates and sits down. �I was figuring on you being hungry.�
�A little presumptuous don�t you think?� I question sarcastically.
�Well since you�ve got my books up to date I shall be forever in your debt,� Pacey says.
�I was glad to have something to do,� I reply. Then I ask, �So I never asked how you got into cooking, anyway.�
We continued talking for a while until Pacey brought up the subject of my amnesia again, asking, �Have any of your memories come back yet?�
�No,� I reply. Then I thought about it and added, �Well, some bits and pieces, nothing that I recognize.�
�Well you should get the memories back soon,� Pacey says. Then he adds, �Well, we should be getting home.�
I hate the lying. I hate these conversations. I should probably just tell him, but I love this life and I don�t want to give it up.
