Just Friends | A Joe Jonas Fanfiction

Chapter 37

„Okay it's just a coffee date, so we don't want to be overdressed." She said rummaging through her closet. „I've got something."

She took out some jeans shorts and a white oversized shirt with black stripes. Ann put on the shorts and Sophie helped her style the shirt, buttoning it only half way up and tucking one side of it inside the shorts. For shoes she gave Ann her brown Birkenstock and a black baseball cap. Then, she did her makeup, which was a natural look with, of course, an eyeliner.

„Yes. Love that." She said, eyeing her. „Simple, but cute."

„I think you dodged your opportunity in being a stylist." She said, admiring how good her butt looked in the shorts.

„When I was little it was always my dream." She shrugged. „Glad I can fulfill it with you."

Ann pouted her lip and hugged Sophie, thanking her for all the help. She also lent Ann her sunglasses as the sun that day was very intense.

„Let me introduce you: Ann Hart's casual coffee date look." She said to Joe, pointing at Ann.

„Nice." He nodded, only looking up at them for a second from his phone.

„That's it?" Sophie said, throwing her hands in the air.

„Someone's not in the mood, I guess." Ann smiled, as he rolled his eyes.

„Well, off you go! Don't want to keep the boy waiting. Are you at least going to wish her good luck?" Sophie said to Joe.

„Yeah, whatever." He mumbled, his eyes plastered into the phone.

The girls looked at each other and shrugged. Sophie escorted Ann to the doors, wishing her good luck and hugging her goodbye. Ann quickly got out of the apartment complex and made her way towards the coffee shop that Josh texted her earlier. It wasn't far away so she decided to enjoy the warm weather and take a walk.

Once she reached the place, she gasped, seeing it was the same coffee shop she was with Joe. She sighed, thinking how out of countless number of coffee shops in New York he had to pick this one. She took off her sunglasses and walked inside, searching for the familiar figure. She smiled once she saw him sitting in one of the tables beside the wall. She slowly walked up to him, passing the lady behind the counter that was eyeing her the whole time, probably recognizing her from the day before.

„Is this seat available?" She smiled, catching Josh's attention.

„Oh, hey!" He quickly stood up and hesitated for a while on how to greet her, but Ann opened her arms, letting him know it's okay to hug her. He smelled amazing. „Here, sit."

„I'm so glad I could see you again!" She said, taking off her cap.

„Same!" He smiled back at her. „So... no friend around to steal you from me again?"

Ann chuckled. „Yeah, sorry again about him. He can be... overprotective."

„Is there something going on between you guys, or...?"

„What? No! Why would you ask that?" She frowned, feeling her heart starting to race.

„It just seemed you're very close." He shrugged.

„No, no, no." Ann laughed nervously. „Definitely not."

„Okay..." He chuckled, not really buying into her lies. „I'm going to get us some drinks. What would you like?"

She sighed and tried to remember what coffee Joe ordered, but he never said the name.

„You know what, I would prefer a tea." She smiled warmly as he nodded. „And... if there is a pistachio croissant available I would be really pleased."
