Last Christmas! -A Joe Burrow Fanfic

Back to college

It wasn't long after the trip me and Joey went on our first date to an Italian restaurant. Sam still didn't really know about us yet but he had an idea. I think Taylor had the biggest I told you so moment in her life when I told her the news.

"So you finally got with him?"
"What do you mean finally?"
She put her hands on her hips and raised her eyebrow.
"It was kind of obvious."
"Was it though?"
"Yah so many people were talking about y'all."
"What ew that's  horrible!"
"Not really I mean it's just typical gossip."
"Still."

Joey is probaly the sweetest boy I've been with, and there's a huge difference between the feelings I have for him than I did Jacob. So that's a great sign.

Speaking of Jacob he had something to say today. Because he's storming up to me right now in the middle of the cafe. He looks kinda rough his hair is disheveled and he's in workout clothes.

"Ivy it's so good to see you."
"Jacob what do you want?" I say crossing my arms.
"Why are you so cranky? I just wanted to say hi. See how things were going with ya."
"Things are great."

"I've missed you."
"I haven't."
"Is it true?"
"What?"
"That you're with that asshole Joey. After he punched me and ruined our amazing moment? How could you drop me for him. It's a downgrade."

"Yes I'm dating him Jacob because it was kinda clear all you wanted was backseat sex. Not an actual relationship."
"Bitch you gave consent that's not my fault you changed your fucking mind."
"We just met Jacob, and another thing it was kind of shitty. You really came up short in a way."
"You're just a slutty bitch Ivy. I'm shocked he even wants you. You're like a goodwill version of a bratz doll. You'll see he just wants to tap that and go."

"What the hell is wrong with you." I say pushing him backwards.
"Get your fucking hands off me whore!" He yells slapping my arm.
"Just you wait fucker Joey's gonna get your ass."
"Oh wow I'm so scared of your scrawny boyfriend."
"At least he's not a fat ass like you."
"Oh yah well you're a bottom because if you topped any guy they'd suffocate bitch."
"The fucking audacity you have to even be speaking to me right now Jacob."

"Hey ladies no need to be yelling in here." Joey comes up behind me grinning. Jacob looks incredibly pissed off.
"Hey Joey what's it like having my leftovers?"
"Leftovers? All y'all did was kiss."
"Oh damn she hasn't told you yet that's crazy..."
"Jacob shut the fuck up." Joey sighs.
"Alright just know I had that bitch in my backseat last month so hey have fun."
"You wish Jacob."
"Fine don't believe me." He says walking away.

" I hate that kid." I murmur.
Me and Joey walk away and get our food.
"What a liar really who's gonna believe that?"
"I don't know." I shrug.

The next couple of days I'll find random hate notes and letters for me from Jacob. I mean talk about stalker right? I should get a restraining order or something this getting out of hand. But anyways things were going great. I had all As which is so shocking, and with semester class changes I had another class with Joey. Which was slightly chaotic because I had to keep him on track.

Tonight we were meeting somewhere. He booked a reservation at a restaurant and hotel. Which I'm pretty sure I knew what that meant. So I had some prep to do alright. He showed up at my dorm in a black dress shirt and black pants. Something about that man in all black was really doing things. I was in a short black body dress with a cut down the leg. We looked good. The final touch was my ivy necklace.

He knocked gently and had a boquet of roses.
"Joey you look so good tonight." I grin taking the flowers and holding onto his bicep. He shut the door behind me and nodded.
"I know you're not talking Ivy. You're way out of my league you know that?"
"Joey you're like a celebrity. That's not even true."
"Oh not really. You look gorgeous."
"Well thank you." I say blushing.

We walked to the car where he held the door for me and everything. The bar is low to be fair.

We arrived at a beautiful steakhouse and Everton was dressed to the nines. It was kind of intimidating so I stuck close to Joey holding his arm. The ceilings were high with chandeliers and 10ft windows. There was even a stage with a piano. There were candles and bottles of wine on every table.

"This is too fancy Joey."
"Only the best for you." He grins.
"Shut up.." I murmur.

The waiter seats by a window where you can see the waterfront. Joey slides into the booth next to me and rests his hand across my thigh. The waiter pours out our glasses and brings menus.

This is crazy it's like over $100 or more for everything here. This is just over the top.
Joey orders a crazy expensive ribeye, that's like 160 dollars.

"What do you want babe?"
"I think I'm gonna get a salad it's not too expensive."
"Baby don't worry about that stuff. I can cover this easily. Come on pick something nice." He whispers.
"Are you sure?"
"Of course it's like second nature."
"Ok then the steak Alfredo looks nice."
He combs his hair with his hand and turns back to the waiter.
"Oh yah she'll have that." He says pointing to the menu. The waiter nods and quickly walks away.

"Anything you want Ivy it's handled don't worry about it from now on."
"You're so humble."
"Hey come on now I'm going to the big league."
"I know you will Joey." I say smiling.
