Making Me Love You (Joe Sugg / ThatcherJoe FF)

III.

/Joe's POV/

"That's it for today guys, if you enjoyed this video, comment, subscribe and give it a big thumbs up!"

With those last words, I rise my thumbs at the camera and wait for a few seconds so I properly edit the video later. I feel alone when I turn my equipment off. I realize no one ever saw it, but yet everytime I film, I feel like my subsribers and fans are looking at me. I'm not supposed to let them down.

I'm also tired. Being a YouTuber is something most wonderful a person could do. But there's also alot of preassure and very little time for other stuff. Not that I'm ever sorry for doing this but still. I'm thinking of  taking a week or two off. As I begin to clean up all the mess my shooting props make, Caspar's yelling bumps right into my ears.

"Joeeeee!"

I hear him walking up the stairs of our apartment and sigh. I swear to god if he has broken something again, I'll kill him in a second. And i'm also not in the mood for some potential prank or whatever he wants from me. This so doesn't sound like me, does it? I'm usually smiling and being cheerful. But on days like this I'm just to tired to bother to smile.

"Whaaat?"

I yell back, not stopping with cleaning up. If he really needs anything he'll come to me. Caspar's footsteps near my room and in a matter of seconds he's already standing in front of me, leaning on the door frame. I give him weary look, so he knows he's not supposed to joke around. As I'm still putting props in the drawer I see him lift his arms to his defense with a corner of my eye.

"Don't worry mate, this is serious."

He assures me and I sigh with relief.  I lift my eyebrows and sit on the bes, looking at my roommate that is smiling at me.

"Ow poor Joey, you must be really tired.."

He mocks me and I try my best not to throw a pillow at him. Not because I don't want to hurt him but because I'm to lazy to pick it up later.

"Piss off Caspar, talk or leave."

I frown at him. I'm really not in the mood.

I make myself comfortable on the bed, putting my palms on the back of my head, closing my eyes for a second. I hope this really IS important.

"So listen, I got a call from some old friend I met on my trip to Ireland or something. He said he's coming for a visit and I offered him a place to stay. I mean we have an extra room, so I hope that's okay with you too."

I open my eyes and stare at Caspar for a few seconds. What? New visitors? We are always hosting someone in our apartment.

"For how long?"

"Just three weeks, come on he's okay. You'll like him."

I nod but in reality I don't really care. Marcus and Niomi were staying at our place for the past week. Maybe I just wanted some peace and quiet. But maybe I was just extra tired today, so I agreed on this.

"Yeah sure, no problem."

I rub my eyes. Caspar's leaning on the edge of my table, smiling at me. I'm happy he's my roommate. We get along really well and all of his friends  I've met till now, were awesome. So this guy is probably just as okay too.

"Yay, thanks. And just so you know they're coming on Saturday."

That's in two days. But wait...

"They?"

Caspar stops at the door, looking back at me.

"Yes, he's bringing his girlfriend along."

A girlfriend? Interesting. Beside my sister and some other YouTuber's, a woman at our place is a very rare event.

"Hope she's not hot mate."

We both laugh.

"Why?"

Asks Caspar as if he haven't already knew the answer. I smile back with the most cocky smile I can do.

"Well maybe she will not be able to resist my charm and than, there's the boyfriend drama."

"Don't be a dick Joe."

Caspar laughs, throwing some pencil he found on my desk at me. I protect myself with my hands, laughing aswell.

"Just saying."

I shrug and watch him leave. I wonder what this couple will be like. I haven't got a special girl in my life for a long time now, so I feel a hint of jealousy towards this guy. But maybe it's better if I'm single for now. Just that way I'm able to focus on my channel 100%. Or is that just an excuse? No, don't be ridicilous Joe!

I turn to the side, deciding it's the best to take a little rest.

| 2 days later |

It's like Friday never happened and it's already Saturday. Aka the day Caspar's buddy and his girlfriend are coming over. We spent yesterday cleaning up and preparing everything, ending up being quite proud of ourselves as we managed it even without Zoe's help. They should be here any minute and I think Caspar is super excited about all of this. He doesn't let it show on the outside though, but I know him well enough. 

"What's this guy's name anyway?"

I ask Caspar to break the tensed silence that has fallen between us while waiting.

"Rick."

He simply mumbles into my direction and I can just nod. Back to being quiet I guess.

Thankfully we hear a sound of car's engine soon enough and Caspar runs to open the door. I hear him yell 'Rick, mate!' excitedly as I slowly get to the door myself. What I see is a dark-haired guy, about as same age as I am. He looks even more excited than Caspar.

"Joe, this is Rick. Rick, Joe, my rommmate."

We shake hands, smiling at eachtoher. He's strong.

"Nice to meet you."

I say politely and he nods towards me. Than he disappears into the flat along with Caspar. Wait a minute. Isn't there someone missing? A yellow taxi is still standing in front of me and I run to get our guests' suitcases. Where is the mystery girlfriend?

With that thought, back door opens and I almost fall into the lap of a person that's coming out of it.

"Oh, I'm so sorry!"

A person yells. Well it's a she. A girl. A very pretty one for that matter. She's quite smaller than me. And I have to say it again: she's gorgeous. I manage to restore my balance and smile at her.

"No worries, I'm okay. You must be Rick's girlfriend."

Fuck, guy is a freaking lucky man. My hopes of a non-hot girlfriend were sinked in a minute. She gives me a pretty grin, pointing her hand towards me.

"That's correct, I'm Evie."

"Nice to meet you, I'm Joe."  

They've met, yay! It's just that Joe and Caspar don't have a clue what's really going on! I wonder what will happen next? Anyway, this story is not so popular yet, but I enjoy writing it so much and I hope you like it too. Let me know what you think in the comments! Oh and there's also a trailer up for this thingie and I realize current cover is a little boring, but it was all I could do in this computer. I'm going to make a new one as soon as I get home. However, love y'all!
