"You know, I have to go home someday." I said
"Yeah but not today. I mean we could do something today. together."
"Possibly yes but I don't want to annoy you or something, you just gotta enjoy being here and I'm going home."
"You're not annoying me? I enjoy being close to you. Sounds clingy. But it's the truth."
"Even if I wanted to. I don't have anything with me."
"We can always buy something you know."
"Joe.." I trailed off. "Are you sure you want me to stay?"
"A hundred percent" He said and smiled.
"Ok just let me call my mum."
I sat down on the bed and called her. To my surprise she was ok with me staying with a boy she didn't even know.
"Soo?" Joe said as I finished the call.
"She said I couldn't stay. I'm sorry Joe." I lied.
"No. Let me talk to her, please. Why?" He seemed sad.
"I'm only joking Joseph" I grinned at him and his eyes became a lot happier now.
"Thank god." He said and hugged me.
"Actually, her name's Elisabeth" I corrected him as I hugged back.
"You idiot." He said and hugged me even tighter. I had to take a step back which ended in us falling onto the bed. Joe on top of me.
"Joeee." I started. "I can't breathe"
"Do you need some mouth-to-mouth resuscitation?" He asked smirking.
"Oh my god, get off of me." I laughed and pushed him off.
"Why you gotta be so rude?" He started singing.

"Can we go in there?" I asked and pointed towards 'Forever 21'.
"Just go on" Joe said bored.
"Ey you were the one who said 'we can buy stuff' " I mocked him. "And that's the first store so shut up and let's go."
"I love how nice you are to me." Joe said.
"Yeah about that" I started "You'll get used to it."
He laughed and put his arm over my shoulder.
We walked through 'Forever 21' and I found some pieces.
"Oods on trying this." Joe said and held a bra-like croptop in one of his hands. In the other hand he held his camera.
"Oh come on." I said and gave him a look.
"You can't say no. Say at least 100"
"No that's too easy. I'll say 10."
"Oh she's daring." He said into is camera.
"Ok 3- 2- 1." Joe started.
"five" we said at the same time.
"Ha gotcha" He smiled. "Go on try it on"
"Ugh" I made my way to the changing room and tried on this thing.
"You ready?" I heard Joe from the other side of the curtain.
"Yeah but no way I'll show you." I was literally wearing nothing.
"You'll see." Joe said and came in.
