Daddy Issues- Joseph Quinn

Champagne and a hottub happened.

Mabel woke to the sound of birds chirping to an all familiar headache indicating that once again, she took it too far.

She opened her eyes, wincing at the daylight shining in her bedroom window. She quickly remembered last nights events and mentally groaned at her once again sleeping with Joe.

She looked beside her to an empty bed, Joe wasn't here- did she dream it? She sat up and looked at the floor to see Joe's clothes neatly folded. This confirmed she did in fact actually have sex with Joe again and that it was not a dream.

She threw her self back on the bed sighing. She ran her hand over her mouth, remembering how Joe's lips melted against hers, her other hand laying flat on her chest remembering how it feels to be pressed up against his. Her mind moved from her mouth to her hair, thinking about how it feels to have his hands in her hair. She snapped herself out of her thoughts and got out of bed grabbed some underwear and Joe's white shirt sliding them on before heading downstairs.

As she makes her way down she can hear how softly singing to himself. She paused at the kitchen door listening to see what song he was so angelically singing.

Riptide.

She smiled softly at his choice of song and opened the door, Joe was once again making her breakfast. She guessed it was his way of showing affection.

Joe snapped his head up at the sound of the door opening and smiled to Mabel.

"Good morning love" he walked over to her placing a kiss on her forehead. Mabel thought this was odd but decided to ignore it and sit down.

Joe made his way back to his cooking and handed Mabel a plate.

"For you, a nice full English breakfast" he stated placing the plate down before running over to the counter again. "A coffee and some pain meds because I already know you'll have a headache" he finished placing a mug in one of her hands and some ibuprofen in the other.

Mabel softly thanked him before taking the meds and sighing taking a sip of coffee.

"So about last night.." she trailed on.

"You don't need to say it Mabel" he smiled.
"Don't over think this remember" he finished.

Mabel smiled weakly noticing how his expression changed. Joe grabbed his breakfast and sat beside her them eating in silence.

Mabel decided to soften the blow of rejecting him again by asking if he wanted to go for lunch today. Joseph looked apologetic for a moment.

"I actually promised my parents I'd go for lunch with them- we've been non stop filming I've missed so many family things. I know you won't want to join" he explained.

"No- I'd love to" Mabel answered.

Joe looked up at her with surprised eyes.

"Really?" He asked excitedly.

"Really" she smiled placing her hand on his and squeezing it.

The pair stayed in that position for a while, both of them not wanting to let go until Mabel heard her front door open abruptly which made the couple jump.

"Mabel I swear to god do you ever answer your fucking pho- oh hi Joseph" Kristen bombarded her way into the kitchen. She glanced between the pair still holding hands then at Mabel who immediately let go and turned her attention to Kristen.

"Sorry I wasn't really on my phone" Mabel explained. Kristen gave her a look to say I know exactly what you were doing.

"I can see that" Kristen stated looking at Mabel wearing nothing but Joe's shirt.
