I Love You- Josh Devine Fanfic

Chapter 23- Be mine?

Josh's POV

I wake up with a huge headache. Fuck. How much did I drink? I look at the bedside table to see 6 empty bottles of alcohol. Shit. I feel it today. I get out of bed and run to the bathroom, puking my guts out. Ugh. Brushing my teeth, I go to the kitchen and grab some Advil.

A few hours, a shower and 5 Advil later I was on the road back home. I pulled over at a gas station to get gas and snacks for the ride. I paid or the gas then went inside to get some snacks.

Some Doritos, a Redbull, some gum, and another bag of Doritos. I head up to the counter to pay and there's a line. I look at the tv to see the news playing. Something about the queen, now something about Niall & Tilly-- wait Niall & TILLY? I read the headline to see it calling Niall a cheater because he went on a date with TILLY. Oh God they kissed.

I dump my food on the counter & pay, "Keep the change!" I grab my food and pull out my phone. I click on Niall's name and press call. It rings then goes to voicemail. Of course.

NIALL!! You son of a duck! How could you?! CHEAT on LUCY?! How dare you! Now management is going to KILL me but not before I kill you!! When I find you, you're gonna wish you hadn't kissed TILLY or dated LUCY!

I hung up fuming throwing my phone on the passenger seat and I speed out of the gas station. When I get to London, I drive over to Niall's flat and jump out. "JAMES!! GET OUT HERE!" I yell, pounding on his door.

The door opens and Tilly's standing there. "Hey!" she says happy and giddy. I glare and her smile slowly fades. "Niall... I think it's for you." She says and slowly backs away from the door. I look behind her to see Niall sitting on the couch. Niall looks at me and his sandwich pauses halfway from his mouth. "Hey Josh!" a familiar voice says, I step into the flat and turn towards the sound of the familiar voice. Amanda is standing there with a... smile on her face?

"Josh. I'm guessing you saw the news, judging by your voicemail?" Niall asks. I turn towards him and nod. "Yeah. On my way home from my brothers house." I say. Niall sighs, "The tabloids were slow getting out the fact that Lucy and I broke up so when the pictures of Tilly & I surfaced, they assumed I cheated on Lucy. I called Management and they are going to clear it up." he told me. I let go of a breath I didn't know I was holding. Lucy stood up and walked down the hall, Tilly following. I guess Niall noticed I was watching her, "Management also gave the okay for you to date Lucy instead of Tilly." I looked at him and grinned so big, "Thanks Niall. Do me a favor and just delete the voicemail?" He laughs, "As long as you get your ass up there and ask Lucy out. She likes you a lot. The whole reason she went 'out' with me was to make you jealous." When he finished his sentence I rushed upstairs.

I knocked on the already open door, and saw Lucy... crying. I rushed in and Tilly looked at me, stood up and left. "Lucy, love. What's wrong?" I ask. "What's wrong? You yelled at me and you practically told me you hated me. Josh I like you and you hurt me. I know I hurt you and for that I am so deeply sorry. I hope you can forgive me and I ho--" I cut her off with a kiss. Cliche but it worked.

When she responded to the kiss I smiled and we pulled away. "B-But what about your gf?" she asks. I give her a confused look, girlfriend? "Girlfriend?" I ask aloud this time. She nods. "I went you your flat to tell you sorry last night but you weren't there. Just some other girl who was calling for you." I think and then I realized who she was talking about. I chuckled, then smiled then full on laughed. She sat there staring at me confused. I gasped for air before responding, "Lucy, love, that would be my maid. She cleans my flat every Friday night." Her cheeks turn a slight pink and then full on red like a tomato. "Oh." was all she could manage. I laughed and leaned in to kiss her again. She smiled and we kissed again.

I pulled away, our foreheads touching, "Be my girlfriend?" She looks into my eyes, before whispering, "Yes" and kissing me again.
