Chapter Twenty Seven

- Lola's POV -

"Hi darling!" My mums voice echoed around the front hall as the door slammed. I froze in fear realising I had snuck a boy into my house and he was upstairs!

"Mum! Hi! Why are you home so early?!" I said nervously when she entered the living room. She set her bags down and sighed.

"There was an accident in the office, we all got the day off!" She said with a smile, I smiled back as I began to sweat. Joseph could walk downstairs any minute! What am I going to do?

"I'll be back in a minute" I said quietly before sprinting up the stairs and to the door of the bathroom. I began to knock it quickly.

"Joseph!" I whispered, until he appeared at my bedroom door. I stared at him with a blank expression, was he snooping in my bedroom?!

"..sorry" He said as he blushed, I rolled my eyes and pulled him back into my bedroom before closing the door.

"My mum is downstairs. You can't be here right now!" I said while pacing up and down. Then I realised that we were in my bedroom, surrounded by all my terrible drawings. My cheeks began to change to strawberry as I looked around.

"Excuse my childish room" I muttered, he giggled and shook his head.

"I really like it actually, I was just sitting here staring at them" Joseph admitted, I smiled shyly until I heard my mums foot steps stomping up the stairs.

Me and Joseph stared at each other in panic, not knowing what to do at all.

She got to the top of the stairs then walked into the bathroom and closed the door behind her, this was our chance.

"Come on!" I whispered as I grabbed his hand and ran through the door and down the stairs. Joseph was heavy on his feet, the two of us sounded like elephants rushing down the stairs.

"Lola what are you doing?" My mum shouted from the bathroom. I grabbed Joseph's shoes and threw them out the front door, he stared at me.

"Go!" I shouted accidentally.

"Can I have a hug first" He whispered, I rolled my eyes and hugged him tightly.

"I'll text you later" I said as he picked up his shoes and ran to his car. I closed the door and took a deep breath in, thank god.

A moment later my mum walked down the stairs and stared at me leaning on the front door.

"Sorry, just getting fit! Running down the stairs is.. Great for the legs!" I said nervously, she stared at me as if I was mad then walked into the kitchen. That was a close one..

Joseph didn't get to stay long which was upsetting, I always feel better when he is around.

I grabbed my phone from the coffee table and texted Lilah about everything that just happened, she was right when she said that Joseph likes me. No body has ever looked at me like that before, I'm sure he is feeling something more than friendship.

My phone vibrated and I opened the text.

"Are you kidding Lo!?! Oh my god you guys are going to be the cutest couple, but ugh why did your mum have to ruin it?! Something good could have happened if she didn't interrupt;) xx"

I rolled my eyes, typical Lilah.

"Ssh you! I really like him and I already miss him if I'm honest. I'll try to see him tomorrow after college x"
