The next morning I was meeting Joe at this coffee shop for breakfast. I left Oli's hotel room while he was still sleeping. I felt bad about it because my feelings for him were still the same than the ones I had the night before. I didn't have time to go back to my hotel room so I wore the same clothes than the day before. My shirt wasn't smelling nice so I borrowed one of Oli's plain black v-necks and just sort of tucked it in my shorts. Before I left, I wrote a note and left it on the night table: good morning, had plans with Joe see you soon!
:)
I met Joe at the coffee shop I was really happy to see him and he was too. We had a lot to tell each other. I met Joe a few years ago when I lived in London. We met through this other friend I had at the time who known him since high school. "Hey Hon" he said before hugging me. Hon was the nickname he'd gave me a while back, not Hon meaning honey but meaning Han but because of his accent it came out has Hon and he kind of just went with it. "Hey Joe!" We sat down and ordered. "Good news" I said "I'm moving back to London!" "What! That's awesome how come!?" He said. "The job" I told him. "Oh my god that's so cool!" He really was excited but the truth is I'm probably going to stay there for two years and after those two years I'm probably gonna move back in LA. "Hey! I met your friend Oli White last night at the bar." "Oh really! What did he say?" "Nothing much we just talk about VidCon mostly. Is Caspar here?" "Yeah he's at the hotel. I'm sure he'll be happy to see you." We talked for two hours but I didn't mention what happened with Oli last night I wasn't sure if he wanted to tell Joe.
Joe accompanied me back to the hotel. "I'll come pick you up tomorrow at 9:00 for VidCon." He told me before leaving. I went back in my room and changed shirts so I could give it back to Oli. I was nervous to give it back because I didn't wanted him to tell me that last night was a mistake, that he was drunk. I didn't wanted to face him face to face but I had to give him back his shirt. His shirt still smelled like him, it still had his odor. Oli White has this very manly sent that makes you feel very safe.
I knocked on his door. He opened up. I was standing in front of him not sure of what his reaction will be. He didn't say anything. "I borrowed your shirt" I said and gave him his shirt back. I didn't look up and kind of was staring at his chest. "I didn't sweat in it I promise." I felt he had something on his mind. I didn't know if it was a good thing or a bad thing. "I'm sorry" I said. "For what?" He replied. "What happened..." He was looking hot. He was wearing a green camo biker tank and some shorts. "Heey look at me" I lift up my eyes and was staring him in the eyes. "You don't have to apologize for that I mean I kissed you first." I laughed a little. Some tears rolled down my cheeks and I wiped them off. I know it wasn't a big deal but I've been bullied in high school and my biggest fear was rejection. "Come in" he said. I followed him and sat on the couch next to him. He sighed "Look last night was awesome and I don't regret it..." He told me exactly what I wanted to hear. "But I do believe it went to fast. I mean we've known each other for like twelve hours." "Yeah totally" I responded. "but I do like you and would like to know more about you." He continued "I would like that too" I said "how about tonight? Dinner and a movie?" "I would do dinner and a movie." I declared. "I'll pick you up at seven" he was right it did went too fast and dinner was exactly what we needed.
Even though I met him only a few hours ago I felt pretty close to him. he knocked on the door and I was still in my hotel room debating on two dresses. "You look nice!" I said while smiling. Oli was wearing a white bouton down shirt with a red tie and some jeans. "Which one should I wear?" I asked him. "The red one or the yellow one?" "Why are you asking me?" He said before laughing a bit "you're a guy you know what guys like." "I seriously don't care but if I had to choose I'd go for the red." "So I could match your tie... Good choice" it wasn't so I could match his tie he went for the shortest dress. Of course!
The movie was starting at ten so we had plenty of time to talk. "So what's cactus boy?" "Hahaha cactus boy is my nickname. You know because I like cactuses... You don't watch my channel do you?" He said in his adorable British accent. "from time to time" I responded. He asked a lot of questions about Joe even though he sees him all the time. "So did you and Joe ever dated?" "Oh no we're just really good friends."
After dinner we went to the movies. We decided to go see a horror movie just for the hell of it. It also gave me a reason to hold his hand during the hole movie. I was really falling in love with this guy but had no idea if he felt the same way.
"Did you enjoy the movie?" He asked me while we walked out of the movie theater. "I mean it's pretty scary!" "That's why I'm with you." He was starting to flirt with me again. "But maybe I don't need you. Maybe I can protect myself." I said in the same tone he did, a flirting but joking tone. he didn't respond and looked straight in my eyes. "I think I'm falling in love with you" After he said that I kissed him. The kiss lasted a really long time. He was holding me around the waist and from time to time his hand would slip on to my bum cheek and he would just create a circular movement with his hand. I was holding one hand on his neck and played a little bit in his hair. "We should go somewhere else" I said. We were right in front of the cinema and people were watching. We got a cab and went to the hotel. We were kissing in the backseat of the taxi. When we arrived at the hotel we went in my room, I unlocked the door and we were still kissing in the door frame. My legs were around his waist and my arms were wrapped around his neck. The kiss was awesome until I heard "Hanna!" Joe was in my room. I had completely forgot I'd given him the key. Oli and I stopped kissing and I was back on the ground. "Shit! I'm really sorry mate you weren't suppose to see this!" Oli said. "Well to bad I did!" He was really mad I've never seen him like this. "Look I'm fucking sorry mate. We met at the bar last night and..." Oli was cut by Joe who literally wanted to kill him. "I don't fucking care get out!" Oli was still standing there waiting to be defended "you should go" I whispered. "I'll talk to you later" he left and I was alone to face Joe. "what the hell!" He shouted. I sat down on the couch with him. "I'm sorry Joe..." Joe wouldn't respond "look I just saw my so called best friend having a heated make out session with..." He wouldn't finish his phrase "with...?" "With you..." "And could I ask why you care so much?" I didn't understand why he freaked out like he did. "I came here to... Ask you out." I didn't say anything I was truly in love with Oli I loved the way he made me feel how it felt like I knew him since we were little. "Oh shit ok hmmm... First of all, I'm flattered and I do love you just not in the way you're thinking." "Yeah whatever I should go" and he bursted out the room. "Joe... Wait" I ran in the lobby to catch him up, Oli was there waiting for us I guess. "And you stay the hell away from her!!" He said to Oli before he pushed him. "Joe!" I was starting to get mad. He left and took a cab. "Gosh are you alright?" I said to Oli because I knew that Joe was pretty strong. "Yeah yeah I'm fine. What's the problem with him?!" "He was about to ask me out..." We were making our way back upstairs and just sorta talking on the way. "I don't understand he gets way more girls than I do." Oli said. "Really?" I was not that impressed though I kinda knew it, not that Oli wasn't hot enough but Joe does get a lot of girls. I think it's the fact that Joe acts sexier around girls and Oli for example is more about being himself and making people laugh. "Can I tell you something?"he asked me. "Yeah sure go ahead." "It's really embarrassing but...you need to know this..." He was hesitating "go on" I said. "I am actually a... Virgin" He announced. "Shuuut up" I said. I didn't believe him at first but he clearly wasn't joking. By that time we were in front of his hotel door. We both went inside and sat on the couch. "I won't shut up because it's true I am..." "A virgin" I finished for him. He was embarrassed but I really didn't care it just made him more attractive.
