Mo's P.O.V.
I woke up to see that Joseph was still right next to me. He was still sleeping and he looked so angelic and I couldn't help but stare for a while. "Stop staring," I hear him mumble with his eyes still shut.
Shit, he could tell I was watching him, let alone actually awake. I chuckled under my breath and started to get up and his eyes opened the moment I moved. Joseph caught my wrist and stopped me, "and where are you going?" he questioned me with his sexy morning voice. "I was just going to get some breakfast. Would you like to join me?" And without hesitation he pulled me back onto the bed and into his chest. "No, you are not leaving this bed. I will get us breakfast and bring it up to you. We are going to watch movies all day until we fall asleep. You are not allowed to do anything unless it's with me today, got it?" He say and I knew I couldn't protest.
"But I need to shower" I tried to retort, "yeah and? So do I." I punched his arm knowing his sexual side could not be stopped if he started now. He chuckled at my weak hit to his giant bicep and got up and went downstairs to get our breakfast and movies.
We've always been like this. Best friends that joke about any sexual contact of each other. Neither of us are virgins, but we still talk like we are in the "friends with benefits" type of relationship, even though we promised each other that we would never do that to each other. I always liked Joseph, but never acted on it. I guess I just used other boys to allow myself to be distracted. I doubt that he would ever feel the same way. I always wondered if he ever thought about us, but I didn't want to say anything. When he came back upstairs with our breakfast and movies, he let me pick first; I chose "How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days." I put the dvd in and crawled back under the covers with him and he chuckled when he saw the title come up on the screen, "I knew you would pick that one." We ate during the movie and I guess I had too much water because halfway through I had to pee really bad. I made him pause it and I ran to the bathroom with him laughing behind me. On my way back into his room, I heard him talking to someone on the phone: John, I think. I didn't want to be nosy, but I stood next to the door listening in on their conversation. "Listen, I know we had plans, but something came up. Mo came over last night and needed some help. She is spending the day with me." Joseph said to John. I blushed at the thought that he wanted to spend the day with me. After a moment of silence of listening to him speak on the other line Joseph spoke again, "I know you haven't seen her in forever, neither have I, and I missed her like crazy." He paused again, and then said, "yo, she is in the bathroom right now and will come back any second, so I got to go." He hung up and I waited a second to walk into the room again, and saw him already back in bed.
I walked back over, got into the bed, and we continued watching the movie. A few minutes before it was over, I could feel his eyes on me. I tried my hardest not to look back at him, but just the thought of him looking at me, made me smile so I asked, "Why are you staring?" "Because you deserve to be looked at, especially stared at." he quickly responded like it was nothing. I chuckled to myself and turned my focus back to the screen. I still felt his eyes on me, but this time I ignored it. Once the movie was over, I tell him that I'm going to take a shower and he plays on his phone while I walk away. I start my shower, removing my clothes but I hear a knock on the door the second I step into the shower. I yell out, "just come in, I'm already inside the shower." I knew it was Joseph, so I really didn't care if he saw me. Joseph quickly walked in and said that he forgot something and then ran back out. When I was done, I grabbed a towel and tied it around myself and walked back into Joseph's room. The second I walked into the room I saw his eyes follow me over to the drawers where I kept my clothes for whenever I stayed the night.
He was watching me the whole time and I did not mind at all. I got dressed and started doing my hair and make up. He quickly asked if he could straighten my hair. I agreed and sat between his legs on the bed. He looked so intrigued when he was doing my hair. Then whenever he would miss it piece, he made a face and I would laugh at him for it. Moments like these with Joseph where the best I could ever have. If I could, I would simply not leave his house ever. There was a time that Joseph and I almost dated but never went through with it because we wanted nothing to break up our friendship. He still tells me that he loves me and will always love me and I tell him the same, but what he doesn't understand that I say it because I mean it. I don't think he means it, but I know he really does care for me. He's takings care of he for goodness sake. I couldn't ask for anything more.
He finished with my hair rather quickly and we suddenly heard pounding on his front door and the doorbell going off multiple times. Joseph ran downstairs and I followed out of curiousness. He made sure that I stayed behind him before opening the door. Joseph grabbed the handle and opened the door and was immediately shocked to see who the person on the other side was. I could barely see over Joseph's broad shoulders, but I knew exactly who it was. It was the boyfriend who I put unconscious because he was trying to kill me. However, he had something in his hand, the lamp: the, now broken, lamp that I hit his head off of
