Story:
Right now, I'm getting ready for a date with my childhood best friend Joe. Me, him and his twin brother Jason have been best friends ever since our moms met each other while birthing us in the hospital. I put on my jeans and heels and readjusted and pink top in the mirror. Even though he'd seen me through everything; the good, the bad and the extremely ugly, I still wanted to look good for him.
My mind went back to when he asked me out: He was filming one of his tiktoks to '10 freaky girls' that all the commenting girls swooned over him for. It always made me a bit jealous, but I never said anything, cause he didn't seem to care about them.
Joe: y/n, can you turn down the lights and put my phone over there.
Y/n: yeah of course joe.
Joe: and when you start the video, come over here ok?
Y/n: Yeah... I said whilst nodding
I propped the phone up and played the sound. Instead of the usual 'Hanging off my earlobes is a rock,' 'Electric love' by BØRNS began playing, a song everyone used to confess a crush to their best friend. There has to be a twist, I thought, walking over to Joe with a smirk, expecting the sound to switch up and be a joke but as I approached him, he pulled me into his lap and rapped his hands around my waist, looking me in the eyes.
Joe: y/n
Y/n: yeah joe?
Joe: I love you...
Y/n: I love you too?
Joe: No not like that *laughs*
Y/n: *laughs* what do you mean?
We hit the high note of the song and he pulled me in closer, lingering at my lips
Joe: Do you want this y/n? Do you want it like I do?
Y/n: ...I-, Ye-
Joe pulled me in for a kiss and I kissed back. The video stopped recording his phone began to replay the sound over and over again but still we stayed there in each other's arms, unable to move away.
Joe: Will you be my girlfriend y/n?
Y/n: Yes Joe. Yes, a 1000 times yes!
He pulled me in for another kiss before Jason walked in whooping and screaming, pulling us into an awkward but comforting hug.
Jason: fucking finally.
Now, I return to the present moment, shook by the honk of Joes car in my driveway. I begin to approach the car and he steps out to open the door for me.
Joe: Hey y/n... I mean- girlfriend. He says with a smirk
Y/n: Oh, stop it Joe. I mean- boyfriend.
I roll my eyes and step into the car, fastening my seatbelt and turning up the radio playing One Direction. We sing along in the car on the way to the fancy restaurant. We arrive at the restaurant and get in
Gay waiter: Your dinner awaits madam and monsieur... by the way, you two seem to make an excellent couple!
Joe: Yeah, we know, thanks.
I smiled at the gay waiter.
We sat down. I ordered. A spaghetti Bolognese and he ordered a pizza. We shared food and laughed, recalling memories together. At some point we held hands and just sat there looking at each other, amazed that we managed to find someone so perfect.
Joe: I know this is fast y/n but I've known you my whole life- I-I love you y/n
Y/n: Don't worry joe, I love you too. I really do.
Joe: I love you more!
Y/n: no, you don't! Joe: Yes, I do! Wait-
He checks the time on his phone before grabbing my hand to pull me up. We went to the balcony of the restaurant and everyone sat there amazed at the beautiful fireworks show. In the midst of its beauty, I saw a ring form, Joe's signature emoji with a + and a rose, my signature emoji. I looked at him tears welling up in my eyes.
Y/n: that is the cutest thing anyone's ever done for me!
Joe: You deserve it and more y/n... I-
I cut him off with a kiss and the whole restaurant whooped in joy
Joe: If every time we kiss, people cheer, I might not be able to handle this y/n
We all laughed, and I pulled him into a hug and whispered into his ear
