(He is so majestic)
Joe
Driving and trying to keep my hands to myself when Paisleigh is sitting next to me looking absolutely stunning is almost as if giving a kid an ice cream cone and telling him he can't eat it. We eventually make it to the banquet hall and of course being the gentleman I am I walk over to her side of the car and open the door for her helping her out before handing my keys to the valet driver. "You ready?" I ask looking at her "Lets blow this popsicle stand" she says making me laugh slightly linking arms with her and walking into the hall.The place they got this year is absolutely insane between the grand staircase and the giant chandelier, they really outdid themselves. Me and Paisleigh walk to the seating chart seeing we're sitting with Sam, Amelia, Jamar, Tee, and Logan. As I'm grabbing our place cards I feel Paisleigh let go of my arm. "Oh my god you look so beautiful!" Amelia says gushing at Paisleigh "Me? Look at you Millie! You look gorgeous" she says smiling giving her friend a hug as Sam walks up to us. "She's been literally waiting for Pais to get here" he says to me and we both just shake our heads and follow the girls to our table.
Everyone's coming up to us saying hi to both me and Paisleigh, I almost forgot she met most of the team while I was out for my ACL. Once we say our hellos I ask her "Want to go get drinks?" she nods immediately and we walk up to the bar, thank god it's an open bar. The bartender I notice is checking me out and almost purposely ignoring Pais "hi can I get one water and..." I start to ask looking at her "a Malibu Bay Breeze" she says earning a look from the bartender
Paisleigh
I swear if this chick doesn't stop giving me a nasty look I am going to punch her. I can tell she is getting flirty with Joe while making my drink so being as petty as I am I lean in closer to Joe wrapping my arm around him laying my hand on his chest. I can see him smile lightly as he wraps an arm around me which all earns a look and an eye roll from the bartnender as she puts my drink on the bar. We both walk away laughing about the look she gave "My god what a bitch!" I say laughing as Joe agrees and we notice everyone sit down to eat so we walk to the table to do the sameAfter some eating and talking everyone is dancing on the dance floor when the song changes to a slow song and I stop dancing with Amelia and look for Joe. As if on cue I hear from behind me "Can I have this dance?" I smile and turn around to him and nod "way of course you may" wrapping my arms around his neck, I feel his hands make their way to my waist as we start to move to the rhythm of the music and as if naturally my head lays on his chest making us both smile.
Right here in this moment it feels as if everyone around us is disappearing and it's just me and Joe. I slowly lift my head off of his chest and look at him moving my fingers to the hair that's at the nape of his neck. Eventually we both lean in and his lips are on mine. It feels so right to be doing this they fit almost like puzzle pieces, it just felt right. When reality kicked in. I can not be kissing or falling for Joe. He is Joe freaking Burrow and I am nobody. He is teammates with my brother it just can't happen. Not wanting to but knowing I have to, I pull away looking down "I am so sorry Joe I can't" I move my arms from around his neck and run out of the banquet hall.
I can't believe I just did that. I call a cab and ask it to take me back to my house in tears because of what I just did. What is wrong with me?
Joe
Kissing Paisleigh was amazing until she stopped and ran out. Almost immediately I followed her until one of my teammates stopped me to talk to me "Hey man I'm sorry to do this but I really have to go" I say running out the door but it's too late she's already gone. I hear the door open knowing Sam, Amelia, and Jamar walked out. "FUCK!" I yell kicking a chair that was outside so upset with what just happened making all three step back because they can tell I am angry.I sigh sitting down putting my head in my hands feeling a hand on my back. "Dude what happened?" Jamar asks as I sit up and look at them "I don't know one minute we're having a good night dancing and kiss and then the next she says I'm sorry Joe I can't do this and ran out" the three of them give me a look of sympathy. Sam sits next to me before looking at Amelia and then me, "Joe there's a reason why my sister ran out however it's not something for me to tell, it's only right if you hear it from her but give her time and she will tell you" he then gets up and walks back in leaving me outside putting my head in my hands.
-next morning-
Paisleigh
When I woke up I was so upset for what I did to Joe I couldn't even leave my bed. I called Theodora and told her that I wasn't feeling well and needed to stay home. Once class was finished Amelia came over, I gave her a house key, she walked in and into my room and found me laying in my bed looking upset "Aw honey, you can't just lay in bed all day" she says plopping down next to me "Yes I can and I will" i say pulling the covers over my head that are soon yanked away because of Amelia. "Come on get up" she says standing up and pulls my covers off the bed pulling me with them making me fall "Ow! Millie that hurts!" I said groaning in pain and sitting up giving her my look "Hun you know that look never works on me" she says pulling me up "Now get dressed please I am taking you somewhere" she walks to my window opening the curtains as I jump back into bed "I don't want to" I say into the pillows then soon hears my bedroom door shut making me groan out loud and deciding to get up.I walk to my bathroom brushing my hair and teeth and going to my closet picking out a blue over sized tea, comfy shorts, and my black and white converse throwing them on. I then grab my phone, wallet, and keys spraying perfume and putting on deodorant on walking downstairs to Amelia raiding my fridge "When was the last time you went shopping?" she asks closing the doors eating an apple making me
roll my eyes "let's go before I change my mind" I say walking out the door with her and getting into her car.As she drives I notice we're heading to the café me and Joe were at and I look at Amelia "Millie why are we here?" I ask then I see Joes porsche pull up "You are going to talk to him Pais you have to, he felt so lost last night when you ran out" she says as I turn to look at his car and I sigh "Fine it's bound to happen anyways" I get out at the same time and look at Joe and notice how upset he is and I just can't help it I walk up and hug him. I give him the biggest hug I ever gave anyone "I am so sorry Joey" I whisper tearing up. His arms slowly make their way around my waist hugging me closer to him "It's ok, let's go in and talk" he walks me inside as we walk up to the line.
I order an avocado toast with a vanilla ice coffee and he orders a chicken sandwich and a water. I hand my debit card to the cashier looking at Joe "I said I would pay next time" making him smile which makes me smile. Once we finish paying we sit down in the same spot we were in the first time and I take a deep breath and look at him looking out the window his bright blue eyes looking so grey today making my heartbreak knowing I am definitely the cause. I close my eyes and the open them "There's a reason why I left the way I did last night" I say making him look at me.
"It all started when I was in college..."
