| �I�ll remember that.� He answered. He took a moment before looking up and realizing that they were at her house. �Seems were at the end of the line.� He stated. Stuffing her hands in her pockets she shook her head in agreement. �Yeah� I better get inside. Dawson said that he would call and I don�t want to miss it.� He exhaled deeply. �How�s that working out for you� and him?� He added as an afterthought. She smiled. �It�s nice. We�re taking things slow. I think that�s what we both need right now. Neither one of us wants to rush into anything. We just� we�re taking it one day at a time.� She stared at him for a moment before letting a small laugh escape her. �What?� �This is weird� you and me discussing relationships. I mean especially when our current significant others once dated each other. It just feels a little� I don�t know� weird.� She finished. He shrugged. �Yeah� there was a time when I didn�t think I�d ever be able to talk to you like this, especially about Joey. It was such an unspoken rule never to bring that up.� �Why is that?� She asked after a moment. �Didn�t want to risk hurting anyone�s feelings.� She shook her head. �But that doesn�t really make sense now does it? The worst had been done. The actions had been taken and words had been spoken. What was so wrong with you talking to me about Joey? You and I claimed to have patched things up between us. I mean it wasn�t perfect but�� �I guess it was just safer not to mess with a rickety relationship.� �And now?� He sighed. �Now� you have Dawson and I have Joey. There really is no room for reprimanding speeches.� He stated knowing that there were so many things wrong with that statement. She was about to comment on it as well when her father emerged onto the porch. �Andie� telephone.� He stated. �Okay�� She called out to him. Turning to Pacey she raised her eyebrows. �That�s probably Dawson. I�ll see you.� �Yeah� you better go.� She hesitated for a moment not understanding what exactly just happened but then turned away and went back inside his eyes following her the entire way. |
