See You Again

Truth

Next Morning

Joe POV

Slowly opening my eyes I got the instant feeling that my head was splitting in two, groaning I turn over and reach out for Sam but find her gone, I try to lift my head to look round the room but it's just not happening and then I hear her voice. I know she is talking to someone and my guess is she is out on the balcony, she doesn't sound happy - oh god what the hell did I do last night?

I sit myself up slowly and notice water and painkillers beside the bed, well if she is looking after me whatever it was can't be that bad right? I take a moment to think, racking my brain for any kind of memory of last night but I get nothing, truth is I don't even remember leaving the club which means that poor girl had to get my drunk ass into bed last night, and I have a feeling I am going to have to apologise.

I take the painkillers and a big drink of water, running my hands down my face I look over to the balcony doors and find Sam stood there smiling at me, maybe I wasn't as bad I thought.

"Hey how are you feeling big man?" she asks walking over to the bed

"Like I've been hit by a truck" I sigh "and I have a feeling a may owe you an apology"

"What makes you think that?" she asks sitting beside me

"I heard you talking and you didn't sound happy" I say "How bad was I?"

"First of all that call had nothing to do with last night" she says and her smile fades "and you were completely adorable last night so no apology needed"

"What was the call about?" I ask taking her hand in mine "Who was it?"

"It was Hannah" she sighs "Her and Tyler are fine but Jake showed up at her door last night demanding to know where I was, he knows I'm with you and she is worried he's going to show up at one of your shows"

"Let him show up" I say "He'll have the entire locker room to get through before he gets to you"

As Sam rests her head on my shoulder I'm trying not to let it show how pissed I am, this asshole is getting on my last nerve. I would sort of understand him if he actually loved her but the fact that it's all for money just leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

Whatever he was planning this time it wasn't going to work, at this point I can't imagine not being with Sam, she was my everything, my reason for being and there was no way I was going to let her go. Truth was taking things slow hadn't stopped me thinking about a future with her, I could see everything happening with her and I was prepared to wait as long as she needed me to.

"So what did I do or say last night that made me adorable?" I ask changing the subject

"Well you told me you loved me several times" she smiles "and I'm not sure I want to say the rest"

"Why was it really embarrassing?" I ask cringing slightly

"No not at all, it's just that I kind of want what you said to be true" she says blushing slightly "I don't want to hear you say it's not"

"You don't have to worry about that, I always tell the truth when I'm drunk" I chuckle "Although it's not always appreciated, what did I say baby?"

"You told the twins and Trin that one day I was going to be your wife and your baby momma" she says with a small smile "and just before we went to sleep you told me you wanted to marry me"

"I do want those things, and I will ask you one day feisty" I say stroking her cheek "but only when you're ready to take that step with me"

Sam smiles up at me before pressing her lips against mine in a sweet gentle kiss, normally I try to take things further but I just don't have the energy this morning but I will definitely make up for it later when I feel more human.

"Oh there was one possibly embarrassing thing you said" she smirks "I was undressing you to get you into bed and you asked if it was sexy time"

"Really I said that?" I ask cringing and blushing at the same time and she nods "I am so sorry, I can't imagine that would even remotely be a turn on and I really hope you turned my drunk ass down"

"Oh I did" she chuckles "would you like some breakfast?" she asks and I feel my stomach churn at the thought

"No, no food" I say "Just a really large coffee, give me a minute and I'll get dressed"

"You stay here and I will go get the coffee" she smiles "maybe try and sleep it off some more, I'll wake you before we need to leave"

"You don't have to do that baby" I smile "but I love that you want to look after me"

"Oh it's not that I want to look after you" she smirks "it's just that it will be lunch time before you get that bed hair brushed out" she laughs

"Oh you little.....if I wasn't so hungover your gorgeous ass would get it" I laugh

"Yeah but you love me though" she smiles pecking my lips "I won't be long"

"I certainly do, and you have no idea how much" I smile "and please don't be I miss you already"

Sam gives me one last smile before leaving the room and I lay back down and rest my head on the pillow closing my eyes, the smile never leaving my face.
