Joe was picking me up at 9 today. 9 o'clock in the morning. I still haven't told my mum about my apprenticeship. She might approve of it but my granddad won't be as easy to sway. He believes in jobs that mean something like being a doctor. I'm smart but a doctor isn't for me.

I ran downstairs.
"Mum, granddad I need to speak to you about something.....I have found and internship in London... At a modelling agency" I said to them.
"Darling that's..." My mum said. "Outrageous" my granddad cut her off. "That is ridiculous" he said. I heard the door bell ring so I found that as an excuse to leave. My granddad kept mumbling to himself as I left.

Can't believe my escape route is going with bloody Joe to b&k whatever it is. Maybe it was b&q. I don't know. To be honest I was just checking our some cute boys who were stocking the shelves.

I sneaked away from Joe when he wasn't looking and went over to the boys.
"Hi what's the difference between" I looked around for something to say "a hakor screw driver and a lemon screw driver" I said picking up the first thing near by. "Umm they're the same thing just different makes" he said. "Oh right how stupid of me. My name is Lucy" I said holding out my hand.
"Its okay, the names Toby, can I have your number and we can meet up sometime." He said. I pulled out a pen and wrote my number on his hand and grinned. I started giggling...
"Lucy" someone grabbed my shoulder. Joe. "This is not a field trip, you actually have work to do" he said "come on". He dragged my hand away.
"You're not my father" I shouted at him. I stormed off out the shop and sat in his car.

Moments later he came and sat in the car. We sat in silence for a solid 10 minutes.
"Look, I'm sorry I shouldn't have gone there" he said breaking the silence. I just sat there wiping my tears away. He pulled me into a hug and we sat there in silence once again. His hug was warm, it made me feel safe. He made me feel safe.

"Why don't we have a day off today, I can call in sick, we can do something fun" he said breaking away from the hug. I nodded my head. He rang up his client and called in sick.

We started driving and to my surprise we ended up at his apartment. "I need help decorating, do you want to help?" He asks. I nod. I love decorating.

We walk inside the apartment and Joe shouts "Caspar, I'm home". All of a sudden he comes bounding down the hallway towards Joe and gave him a bear hug. "And who is this lovely young lady" Caspar asks. "Lucy" I say holding my hand out. He takes my hand and pulls me into a massive hug.
"Is she your girlfriend Joe?" Caspar asks him. "No...she is my student" he says back to him. Caspar smirks and we head to Joe's room.

I was painting the wall when a I felt a gloopy liquid pour over me. Caspar had already left so it must have been Joe. I turned around and splatted him with the paint. We carried on like that for a while.

It turned into a laughing fit. I never knew Joe could be this fun. He always seems so mysterious. In a good way.

All of a sudden I slipped on the paint and went flying into Joe's arms. He caught me and our faces were centimetres apart. He smelt gorgeous. Slowly, he started to lean in. "I can't" I said before running off.
