Fool me

Chapter 15- Quarrels

Tessa POV
(Unedited)

"I can't believe we managed to scare away that Abby chick!" Joey grinned with triumph. He was lying on the bed with his hands behind his head, wearing his grey sweats and black v-neck shirt. "Did you see how quick she ran to that elevator?!"

"I know right!" I laughed whilst putting my hair into a messy bun. "Who would've thought I was such a good actress?" I gushed.

"What about me?!" Joey exclaimed looking upset that I didn't mention him.

I rolled my eyes at his childish behavior.

"Please! All you did was hide, I did all the talking." I said proudly.

"It was a pretty damn good hiding spot" he muttered going into his childish sulks -that I found very cute.

Oh my goodness what am I saying?!

"What? Hiding under the bed?" I asked knowingly as I unintentionally folded my arms.

"Yes!" He sat up from his lying position.

"If you say so" I winked and made my way to the bed.

"Joey can I please have my pillow?" I pointed to the pillow he was leaning against.

He looked at me with a blank expression before adjusting the pillow, making himself comfortable.

Agh! The audacity of this boy!

"Really? The silent treatment?" I asked blankly.

He gave me a brief glare before facing his back towards me.

I heaved a sigh.

"Joey, I am not going to apologize for insulting your choice of hiding spot."

He stayed silent and just let out a dramatic sigh.

"Oh my word are you being serious right now?"

Silence.

Oh my word I can't stand the silence or his annoying sulking anymore!

"Fine!" I flung my arms into the air. "I am sorry for insulting your hiding spot! Its totally not cliché "

Joey turned to face me with a smile.

"I don't appreciate the sarcasm but I'll take it" he grinned. I rolled my eyes and threw the box of tissues that was resting on the night stand. He swiftly dodged it by rolling off the bed.

"You're such an idiot" I groaned but couldn't help but crack a smile.

Joey poked his head up and returned the smile.

"I've been called worse"

I didn't know how to respond to that so instead I just widened my smile. Joey imitated me and did the same.

I won't deny that Joey is a good looking guy but its his playboy ways that put me off. I wonder what made him decide such a lifestyle?

Is it just for fun?

"Well uhh good night Tessa" Joey said, pulling me out of my thoughts.

"Mmm?" I looked up and saw Joey making himself comfortable on the floor. "Oh, night Joey."

I wanted to tell him that he could sleep on the bed but yet again I was being a coward.

I let out a deep sigh;I was mad. Mad at myself for not mustering up the courage to just tell him. Tell him that he could sleep on the bed instead of the floor.
