are we meant to be?

part 16

...........

i was finally able to get showered and dressed. i put some concealer on my neck. just in time too because i hear josh and dixie come in downstairs arguing. i make my way downstairs and go hug josh without saying anything.

josh: hey baby *smiles

he kisses the top of my head. i just stand there hugging him while he continues arguing with dixie over random shit.

dixie: mads totally did not do that
josh: she did! i heard her

i move my arms to around josh's neck to get his attention.

josh: you alright?

i don't say anything and the next thing i know we're laying in my bed as he hold me close to him.

josh: what's wrong?
you: i'm fine. just tired

i speak softly with my head nuzzled into his bare chest.

josh: ok then

he kisses my head and i drift to sleep on him. hours later. i wake up and josh hasn't moved from under me. he's sitting in the exact same position with his back against my headboard. the tv is now on and he's watching it while twirling my hair with one hand. the other hand of his is rubbing gently along my back. i roll off of him.

josh: hey

i pat the bed for him to lay down and get comfy. he does but then pulls me back on top of him so i'm in the same position as before.

josh: are you sure your alright? normally you don't nap for that long
you: i'm ok

i kiss his cheek and then turn my head to look at the tv. we sit there watching tv and not talking for a good bit before charli and bruce come in arguing.

charli: yes!
bryce: no!
charli and bryce: carson!

josh laughs and i look at them annoyed.

you: whaaaat
bryce: charli is making me go to the beach to take pictures of her!
charli: i need to post!
bryce: get dixie or chase to take them!

i shudder a little at his name.

charli: just tell him to help me. he listens to you. or better yet why don't you come do it??
you: no. i'm not helping and figure it out on your own.
bruce: ugh

they walk out and i cuddle back into josh.

josh: they're like brother and sister
you: they sure as hell right like it
josh: i see why. you all are so close. that's kinda how i am with dixie. well- one day if we were ever to be married, that would make dixie my sister

he smiles down at me.

you: slow down bud. we aren't even dating yet
josh: yet baby. yet

he kisses my head once again.

josh: you look very pretty. i mean you look good everyday but-

i laugh a bit.

you: thank you

he is always like this. i know it could seem like it gets annoying but it really doesn't. it's nice to have someone telling you little things to make you feel good about yourself.

josh: why don't we go out? like you and me. no charli. no bryce no dixie

josh and i have never been on a real date. we always have our friends there too.

you: i don't know *shrugs
josh: come on. i'll buy you flowers and we can go get dinner-
you: do i have to wear a dress?
josh: no *laughs
you: ok.

i smile and he laughs at how much i hate dresses.

josh: cool. i will see ya tomorrow night. be ready by 7

i nod before he kisses my head and leaves.
