| Dawson reached over to Joey and took her hand. The movie theatre was near deserted, except for the two of them. Since they had been back together they had tried to go to the movies at least once a week, just to reconnect and spend time together. It had been almost 2 months and things were going really well. They hadn�t told anyone, wanting to explore the new dimension to their relationship. Within one week Dawson had stopped apartment hunting. It had almost become a running joke between him and Joey. When their families called they would say there was an apartment shortage in New York or that Joey needed extra money for the rent. The more times people asked, the more blatant the lies had become. Joey had actually said to Bessie on one occasion she just wanted a man around the house. Bessie didn�t buy it for one second and had since been questioning her little sister incessantly. The movie had started to wind down and Dawson turned to Joey to see if she wanted to go. �You ready to...� but when he turned he say that Joey had fallen asleep. It seems to be a common occurrence these days. Joey would just drop off at the slightest thing and it was another running joke, Dawson saying that he must have an amazing personality to send Joey off to sleep so quickly. He gently poked Joey�s leg, hoping to get some kind of response out of her. �Joey wake up� Joey�s eyes slowly opened and she realised quickly what had happened. She was starting to get worried, all she wanted to do was sleep and she was feeling less than energetic. She had thought at first it had something to do with all the late night conversations her and Dawson had been having, leading to all night love making sessions. But she was feeling tired all the time, even after sleeping almost all day. �Umm, I�m sorry Dawson. I guess I drifted off again.� Joey leaned over and kissed him. �You know, �Dawson said, breaking away from the kiss �I think you better go to the doctor. You�ve been looking off colour for the last few weeks� �You know how much I hate doctors.� Joey stood up and took Dawson�s hand, leading him out of the cinema. �I�ll come with you if you want?� Dawson asked, just as they were reaching their apartment. �Where?� Joey asked, completely forgetting the conversation earlier. �The doctors? I�ve got tomorrow afternoon off so make an appointment.� Dawson unlocked their front door and opened it for his girlfriend. �If you want but it won�t be anything drastic. I�ve probably got flu or something,� Joey said using the elevator button. �Well, I would rather be with you whether it was serious or not,� The elevator arrived and the pair walked in, arms around each other. �Until then, maybe you can administer you own medicine?� Joey asked suggestively, tugging at his coat. �I think I can manage that...� Dawson murmured as Joey pulled him into a deep kiss. |
