Joe watched her slowly lose it as he follows her out of the bookstore, enjoy air that didn't smell like Chanel number five. "Ella?" He questioned, growing annoyed as she seemed to ignore him. This wasn't how tonight was supposed to go, he was almost kissing her in that damn aisle, now she's more concerned about some man who she isn't even dating.
Woman were complicated..
Joe may have been slightly out of line by grabbing her arm, but it seemed to be the only way to get her attention back on him, the face she made at him cause his grip to falter slightly, and next thing he knew, she had snatched it out and had started yelling at him. Joe stepped back slightly, blinking then swallowing slightly.
'Woah, woah, I am meant to be Prince Charming? To save the day- now your turning on me?!'
He bit the inside of his mouth. Dropping his hands, "I'm sorry, I-I shouldn't have touched you," he admitted quietly, rubbing his hands nervously on the legs of his pants.
Joe raised an eyebrow, both of there faces being softly lit by the shops they were standing in front of. "No, no it's fine.. i mean I crossed a line.." he mumbled quietly. Joe tried to remind her that he didn't care about her faults, she was the woman of his dreams, they could grow old together, she could take care of him. Love him, dote on him, something Beck couldn't. She was unfaithful, after all there time together, she didn't love him anymore. He couldn't allow that to happen this time.
He frowned slightly,
'Woman..'
"So what's the problem?" He questioned, starting to walk along side her as they headed on there way.
He shrugged, he never told Ethan about Beck, Ethan just found out, because he was nosy, and Ethan. "Oh, ah.. I don't know.." he mumbled, 'rule number one Joe, always agree with her.. dumbass'
"I agree.. I mean, friends should tell each other everything,"
'So we're just friends.. ouch'
"I get it.. you know.. I had this friend.. and she, well she insisted this guy was right for her, even though I said he wasn't, and it all blew up in her face," he scoffed, people make mistakes when there blind to the obvious," he sighed.
He looked at her and shrugged off his jacket, "here," he smiled gently, "it's getting cold, and ah, your don't look very warm," he whispered. Nudging her side and gently covering her back with his jacket.
"Ice cream sounds good, actually I know the perfect spot not to far from here," Joe offered,
Soon enough Joe and Ella were sitting side by side, Joe had chosen a raspberry flavoured ice team, licking the dairy slowly, he nodded, "You know, Ethan is going to be mad we didn't meet them," he smirked, "well not mad.. just upset, don't worry, I'll tell them you punched one of the rich guys for critiquing the Timberwolf's series," he joked playfully. The park at night in New York was always so peaceful, so calm, Joe had done his fair share of walking at nights, but he'd never gone this way.
