I need to say a big thank you to Michael for proofreading and helping me make this a better story. Logan Airport, Boston: Out of the corner of his eye he saw her she was standing across from him flipping through a magazine; her long blonde hair was swept up into a bun. She looked different from the last time he saw her, so professional in her corporate uniform of grey suit and black brief case. The last time they had been in the same room was six months ago at Dawson�s New Years Eve party in New York. He had to laugh to himself at the thought that she had been hardly professional at that party, remembering how her and Audrey had been greatly under the influence of the champagne. They became a little too friendly to a New York police officer in Times Square, which almost landed the group in jail. Sometimes he was surprised by how well this group of friends had managed to stay together throughout all the drama that life had brought them or what they had brought to each other. After a while he felt stupid for staring at her and wondered what was keeping him from going to say hello to her. Before he had a chance to call her name, a man swept her into a loving embrace and kissed her softly on the lips .He was caught off by this tender moment in front of him. Feeling a little uncomfortable, he decided to wait for the right time to say hello but before he had his chance he felt two arms warp around him from behind. �Hey handsome did you miss me?� a sexy redhead purred in his ear. �A man would have to be crazy to not miss you woman like you, Madison,� he purred back. �Well, Mr. Witter I do believe you deserve a kiss for that.� pressing her lips to his. �I see that life is treating you well Witter� he heard a familiar voice say. He broke from Madison�s embrace to see Andie standing in front them �Life is always a little better when you�re around McPhee.� He enfolded her into giant bear hug squeeze her tightly to the point she could not breath. �Andie?� a man�s voice said with unease. �Oh, Kelly this Pacey Witter. Remember I told you about him.� she replied still in Pacey�s arms. As soon as he let her go, Kelly had his hand out to him. �Hello, so you�re the Pacey I heard so much about � �Don�t believe anything she said� as he shook Kelly�s hand, �unless it is good then believe everything she says.� She hit Pacey playfully �Pacey like I would say anything bad about you, well maybe just a little a bit.� She giggled. �Same old McPhee.� Kelly cell phones rang. �Hello. Yes Dr. Phipps�, he covered the phone, �excuse me honey, I need to take this. It will only take a minute.� he kissed her on the cheek. Pacey noticed that they were just more than friends. Andie smiled politely �No problem hun.� She turned to Pacey �Thank god I have you to keep me company. If he�s talking to Dr.Phipps he will be on that phone forever.� Madison didn�t wait for Pacey to introduced her �Hi, Andie, I am Madison Hansen, Pacey�s Agent.� She shook Andie�s hand. �Hello Madison�, she looked at Pacey and then back to Madison �wait�did you just say agent?� �Yeah, I did� Pacey had a sly grin on his face. �Pacey, you did it; you got your cook book published. Last time I talked to you, you were still trying iron out the details". Pacey unzipped his bag and pulled out a copy. �Let�s say those details have been ironed out and you�re now looking at a best seller on the New York Times list� he handed Andie the book �It�s wonderful Pacey.� she turned it over �And such a great picture of you on the back �she handed the book back to him. �No, you keep it Andie.� �I couldn�t take it, I mean, it�s only right that I buy one for myself. You worked so hard on it and it would feel wrong if I didn�t pay for your hard work.� �Well, I think my bank account will be fine. Look at it as if one of the perks of knowing the author.� �Thank you, I can�t wait to go back to Minnesota and brag to all the doctors about you. Not like I didn�t before. � He gave her a warm smile �It�s nice to know you never gave up on me.� �You never gave me reason to give up on you Pace, well maybe that one time.� She returned the smile. �So what are you doing in Boston, Jack didn�t tell me you were coming for a visit? �Yeah, it was a kind of spur the moment thing. The clinic picked me at the last minute to attend this medical conference in Boston. Anyway, it was a good excuse to visit my family. I haven�t seen them since I moved to Minnesota. �I hope you were also coming to visit me. The last time I saw you it was at Dawson�s New Years Eve party". �Don�t remind me. I haven�t drunk a drop of alcohol since that night.� She giggled remembering that party. �Can you believe that Audrey and I were trying to pick up that police officer? We almost got arrested for prostitution. Just think how that would have affected my medical career� she laughed Madison broke in �I�m sorry to interrupt this little reunion you two are having�, she looked at her watch �but the plane to Chicago will be boarding soon Pacey and we still need to go over the press schedule.� A cell phone rang. It was Madison�s. She answered the phone while moving away from Pacey and Andie but kept close enough to listen in on what they are saying. �How blonde of me not to ask why you�re hanging out in the airport .I guess I was too happy to see you again.� �No, it�s okay I have these blonde moments to which is funny since I am not a blonde.� �That makes the two of us.� Andie responded attempting to poke fun at herself. �How long are you in town Andie? �The conference finishes on Friday and then we�re spending Saturday with Jack and flying back out Sunday morning.� �Well, I think I come back on Friday night or maybe Saturday. I could come spend the day with you guys I haven�t seen Amy in couple weeks. I know I owe her a date to the movies. � Madison walked over to Pacey and handed him the phone. �Pacey, it�s the restaurant; the truffles didn�t come in for tonight�s banquet.� �Hi, Matt, I knew I should gone with Willie but Joe promised me he could get them delivered today.� Pacey sighed heavily. �Hey Matt can you get me Joe�s number? I�ll call him myself and put the fear of God into him". As he ended the call he looked over to Andie. �So, what about my idea for Saturday. Does that sound good? � �That would be great Pace,� she looked over in Madison�s direction. �I�d like to catch up on who you been doing��she caught herself, �I mean�what you been doing these last six months". �I�ll make sure to bring those brownies on Saturday you like so much� he turned his attention back to the phone �yes Matt �� �Was Pacey just talking about get together with you on Saturday? Asked Madison in a suspicious tone. � Andie nodded her head. Madison flipped open her date book. �Let me see, oh no. Pacey is booked out on Saturday. He has lunch with Boston Food Magazine from eleven to one, followed by a book signing at Barnes and Noble on Beacon from 2 to 4 and at 7 he is meeting with the publisher for dinner to talk about his next cook book. She made a poor attempt to sound sympathetic to this woman Pacey so obviously had feelings for. �I�m so sorry Andie, it seems that Pacey isn�t free until Sunday but if I heard you right, you�re flying out that morning .If you could gave Pacey a heads up that you were Boston this week I could have pencilled you in. It�s just too bad that two old friends with your history can�t get together to talk about the good old days. � Madison flashed Andie her best fake smile. Andie could only return same smile back. �Another disaster averted I like think because my charm but the truth be told it�s nice to have one the best lawyers on retainer.� Pacey smiled at Andie. �I�m glad it worked out for you Pacey.� Andie dropped her head �But as for Saturday your agent has just informed me that you have a full schedule that day.� �Are you serious? God Andie, I�m sorry, I had no clue how busy she has me.� �Really, it�s no problem. We�ll catch up another time. You still have my phone number and my email address.� �I am sure Madison has in that date book of hers.� �I am sure she does.� Andie said sarcastically. Kelly, obviously frustrated snapped his phone shut. �I am sorry honey, that took so long but you know how Dr.Phipps gets when starts talking about lymphoid.� �Don�t worry I understand, He just nervous about your speech tomorrow. � A voice came over the loudspeaker �Flight 367 leaving for Chicago is now boarding rows one through six.� �That�s us!� Madison tugged on Pacey�s arm. �It was nice to meet you Kelly� Pacey shakes his hand. �I hope next time we meet I don�t have the phone attached to my ear the entire time.� Kelly joked, but just then his phone rang again. �Sorry� he said in an apologetic tone. Pacey chuckled �Don�t worry it happens to the best of us � �Pacey, we really need to get going� Madison demanded �You�re going to miss your plane.� �Right now I don�t think that would be such a bad thing.� �Well, I do. So Mr. Witter, get your butt on that plane. I�ll be back for Thanksgiving and if you have a book signing in Minneapolis I�ll be the first in line". She tapped on his chest. �You promise.� He clearly meant it. �This is one promise I know I can keep.� she hugged him tight and kissed his cheek. �Pacey� Madison stomps her foot her impatience growing by the minute. �Bye Witter, � �See ya McPhee� |
