I wake up in the morning after spending a cute night under the stars with Joe. His arms are wrapped around my stomach, pulling me too him. His face is neatly tucked into my neck as we are tangled up in his sheets.

I yawn and look over to the alarm clock. 6.13AM. I better get up. I wriggle out of Joe's grip and head into my bedroom for the next week and a few days. Urgh, I can't believe I'm leaving so soon. God knows what's going to happen when I tell Joe.

I pull on a floral dress and match it with a floral crown and sandals. I leave my hair natural and just opt for a spritz of perfume and deodorant. I make my way downstairs.

"You ready to go?" Graham asks me as he gulps down the rest of his drink. I nod with a smile.

We make our way out to his truck and then make our first few stops. By mid day my brain is working into overdrive about the whole thing about Joe.

I turn to Graham. "Had Joe ever been...protective of anything?".

He looks at me and then back at the road. "Joe's never normally one to be protective in the sense of his possessions. When he was younger he was, but he's grown up a lot since then. Why, is he protective of you?" He smirks.

I shake my head with a smile. "Something like that".

He pauses for a moment and then continues. "Do you mind it or?... Sorry I don't mean to intervene I'm just curious".

I sigh. "I don't know. I don't think I mind it but there are certain...consequences".

"There are consequences in every decision you make. You don't know whether it will be a good or bad outcome until you try it. You have to bite the bullet and go for it if you really want something" he says, his gaze flicking between the traffic.

Oh I did want something. I wanted Joe, but I also don't want to be left picking up the pieces of my broken heart if we don't work out.

------------------
We sit in front of the camera, Joe explaining that we are now an item. The whole time I sit frozen, a smile plastered on my face - making short comments from time to time from being so nervous of getting judged by his viewers. Hey, I was one only a month ago!

"So yeah. We are now an item. Do you guys ship us? What do you think our ship name should be?" He asks me.

I think about it for a moment then grin. "Jolive. Like olive".

He raises an eyebrow and turns his attention the camera. "Apparently we are Jolive. It's got a ring to it in a weird way". He smiles and looks back at me and my breathe catches. He's so beautiful it hurts.

"Anyway I'll see you on Sunday for another sugg Sunday special, I just wanted to update you guys. Bye!" He waves so I join in.

He presses the stop button on his camera as we finish his recording.

"What do you wanna do?" He asks.

I peer out the glass doors to his patio, the sun blazing down in his beautiful garden.

"Want to sunbathe?" I ask him.

"Sure" he smiles and shrugs.

I head upstairs and locate my sun lotion and a pair of shorts and my bikini top. I get changed into them and head downstairs. I see Joe lying on a deck chair so I go to join him.

I apply the lotion onto my legs and arms, Joe following suit.

"Would you put some on my back?" He asks. I nod and comply, spending a little extra time rubbing circles into his muscular shoulder blades than I probably should. Oh well. We are a couple.

"My turn" I smile turning around. Joe picks up the lotion and squirts some into his hand, making a farting sound from the bottle.

"I hope that was the bottle and not you" I say and we both burst into hysterics as he continues to rub it into my back.

"Liv?" I hear someone say in a recognisable tone. I turn around to see my mum standing with a confusion look on her face, beside her my dad with an angry expression.

Joe's hands instantly snap away from me like my back is on fire and I've burnt him. I probably have - feeling the heat rise to my skin... I think I could fry an egg on myself I'm blushing so much.

Oh shit, I've got some explaining to do.
