Before I knew it, it was time for me to start getting ready for dinner. Part of me wants to call it a date, but it's hard to tell without either him saying so, or until I know the atmosphere of where we go and how it is between us.
I decided to leave my hair wavy again and left it all down. I slipped on a pair of cropped patterned pants and a sleek tucked in shirt. I put in some earrings and put in a stud in my nose piercing. I put on a bit of make-up again and slipped on some shoes and it was about 6:25. Perfect timing. I got my bag and headed downstairs to wait for Joe. I was expecting a text upon his arrival, but was surprised to hear him knock on the door once he arrived.
"Hello!" Joe smiled as I opened the door.
"Hey, want to come in for a minute. My mum wants to meet you," I invited Joe in.
Joe suddenly looked a bit nervous.
"Don't worry, she's super lax," I smiled.
Joe smiled and nodded as I lead him to kitchen where James was cooking and my mom was sat on a stool on other side of the counter in the huge counter.
"Mum, this is Joe," I introduced.
"Hello," Joe smiled shaking hands with both my mum and James.
After they talked for a bit, we left.
"Sorry about that," I said.
"No! It's fine. I like your mum and James, they're nice," Joe smiled.
Joe drove us to an Italian Restaurant. We got seated and that's when I properly realised it's a date.
Joe and I talked endlessly. We discussed travelling and jobs, or dream jobs.
"I'm not too sure what I want to do, but I'll probably be moving out of James' house soon and get my own place," I explained.
Joe told me about when he first moved out of his family home and it was surprisingly easy for him. He also offered to help me move whenever it happens.
We had already ordered and eaten our food, but we sat there for almost another hour just talking.
"I've honestly had a lot of fun," I nodded as we got up from the table to leave.
"Me too," Joe smiled happily.
I linked my arm in Joe's as we walked to his car and got in.
"Would you like me to drop you back off, or you can hang out at my flat?" Joe asked.
"We can go back to your flat," I nodded.
"Yes!" Joe jokingly cheers, "Oh, and Zoe and Alfie are still there. Caspar has gone out, I think."
"Okay," I smiled.
Joe drove back to his flat and parked up. We got out and Joe hesitantly took my hand in his as we walked up to his flat. As Joe took my hand, I was surprised and almost flinched a bit, making Joe look at me worriedly.
"I'm sorry, you just took me by surprise," I said, assuring him and taking his hand.
"Sorry Minx," Joe said.
"No, don't be!" I laughed, holding his hand and leaning my head on his shoulder.
We got to his flat and went inside. After we walked in, I let go of Joe's hand, not wanting anyone to make a big deal about us holding hands. Surprisingly, Zoe, Alfie, and Caspar were there.
"Hi guys!" Caspar said loudly.
"Hello," Joe and I said in unison.
"Minx! Are you spending the night?!" Zoe cheered.
"No," I laughed, shaking my head.
Zoe playfully pouted and then Alfie put his arm around her. Joe lead me to sit on the sofa with him. Zoe and I got to talking at the table a bit later while the boys all played Fifa.
"Did you two go to dinner?" Zoe asked.
"Yeah, he took me for Italian," I smiled.
We continued talking, just about anything and everything, not necessarily about Joe's and I's date. In fact, we didn't seem to talk about it much after Zoe's question. Zoe took out her Polaroid camera and took pictures of everyone together. She then took a picture of Joe and I and gave it to me, complete with a wink.
"Do you want me to take you home, Minx?" Joe asked a long while later.
I nodded before saying goodbye to everyone. Joe and I went down to his car and he drove me home.
"Thanks again," I smiled as we pulled up.
"No problem, I had a lot of fun," Joe smiled.
Joe got out with me and walked me to the door. He pulled me in for a hug and then we said good-bye before I walked inside. My mum and James were still up and watching the television in the livingroom.
"How'd it go?" My mum asked.
"Great," I nodded, sitting on the opposite sofa.
"I wasn't expecting you home this evening," My mum joked.
"Oh my gosh!" I laughed.
"Well..." My mum laughed more.
"Diane!" James laughed stroking her shoulder.
"Alright, well it was fun, but I'm going to head to bed now," I smiled.
"Goodnight honey," My mum said.
"Goodnight Minx," James said.I made my way through the big house to my room. I took a thumb-tack and stuck the picture of Joe and I on my bare wall.
Then, I got changed into my pajamas and took off my make-up, the usual pre-bed routine. I turned on Netflix on my laptop and got into bed.
