[3 and a bit months later]

Joe's POV

I open the door to Adeline and smile at her. She is looking effortlessly beautiful today. How did I end up with someone as gorgeous and perfect as her?

She smiles back at me, then kisses me gently on the lips. Her lips are sweet and soft and perfectly pressed to mine.
I cup my hands around her face and kiss her right back.

My phone rings and I have to break away to grab it out of my pocket. I mouth 'sorry' to Adeline, as I put the phone to my ear. She smiles and mouths back 'it's okay'. I step back to let her come inside as I look at my phone screen.

It's a number I don't recognise.

"Hello, Joe Sugg speaking," I say into my phone.

"Hello Mr Sugg, this is the video corporation that you contacted a while back applying for a job. You will be pleased to know, that you are welcome to start the filming job; your application has been accepted." Says a female posh voice back to me. My heart starts racing. This is the job I've been wanting, to film for a proper filming company. I love YouTube, so much, and I'm obviously going to continue, but I want to film professionally. Creating video content is my passion.

"Thank you very much. When do I start work?" I ask.

"You are expected to start on Monday morning at 10:00 am. Do you know where you're going?"

"Yes, I do. Thank you."

"Ok, goodbye Mr Sugg."

Holy fuck! I've got a proper job, at a professional completely.
I tell Adeline the good news. She smiles and gives me a big kiss.

"I'm so proud of you, Joe," she whispers as she wraps her arms around me, giving me a hug, "so very proud, of my Joe."

Adeline's POV

God, I am so happy for Joe. He's finally got a professional job, and he's still able to keep going on with YouTube. It's what he's always wanted.

Tonight, I don't want to leave, so I'm staying. I am tired and happy and warm and feel so at home at Joe's apartment, that I don't feel like I need to be back at mine.
Pulling up the blankets, I think to myself how fucking lucky I am to have Joe.
My eyelids droop and just as I'm falling asleep, I hear Joe tiptoe into the room. I roll over and lazily open my eyes.

He smiles at me. "Hey, sorry, were you sleeping?"

I shake my head, "not really. Are you coming to bed now?"

"Yeah, I'm just gonna change."

He plods into his bathroom and I hear the tap turning on. I roll back over and snuggle down, still drowsy and so close to falling asleep. Soon, I hear Joe tiptoeing back into his room. I manage to open my eyes to look up at him. By now he's only got his pyjama pants on.
I smile gently and whisper, "coming in?"

He nods and slides into bed next to me. His presence is warm and comforting. We're both on our sides, facing each other. He reaches out and cups my cheek, stroking it gently with his thumb. My heart flutters.

"Goodnight gorgeous," he says in an unfairly hot voice.

And all I want to do is lean forward and kiss him but my eyes are so damn heavy and I am so damn tired. I shut my eyes and concentrate on the warmth of his hand still on my cheek.

"Hey, Joe?" my voice is barely a whisper and my eyes are still shut.

"Mm-hm?"

"I, um, I love you," and my heart beats a little faster as those words escape my lips.
I feel Joe shifting in the bed and for one horrible moment I think he's going to leave, but then I realise he's just moving closer to me.

"I love you too, Adeline," his voice is so quiet and so soft and I can feel his warm minty breath tickle my skin. Then his lips are on mine, kissing me so tenderly and so full of care, that my heart skips a beat. He tastes of toothpaste, all minty and fresh.

I smile when we break away, "goodnight."

"Night," he replies, as I roll over, to face away from him. It's all I can do to turn back over and kiss him until the sun comes up, but I'm exhausted and struggling to stay awake at this point. Joe moves closer to me and wraps his arm over my waist.

I sigh contentedly. He loves me.

I wake up to Joe, slipping gently out of bed.
Yawning, I stretch out my arms and sit up.
"Morning hun," I croak out.

"Morning, sorry I woke you," he yawns as well.

"It's fine don't worry, I need to be up, I have work later today." I walk over into his outstretched arms, "wanna go get breakfast before I have to go?"

"Sure, just let me get changed."

"Yeah me too, I'm going to pop home and change into something nicer. I can't wear your t-shirt out," I chuckle, "I'll be back soon!"

I leave Joe's flat and quickly nip over to mine, I'm wearing Joes shirt as pyjamas, but it doesn't matter, no one will see me. I get inside my flat, have a quick shower and change into proper clothes.
I meet Joe outside as I'm shoving my phone into my handbag.

"You look handsome," Joe teases.

"Well you look very pretty yourself, Joe Sugg."

We start walking and talking, soon we are at the cafe.
My life is coming together, I think to myself as I sit down, it's finally coming together, moving to London was the best thing I could've done.

I look over at Joe and smile at him. God, he's beautiful, I don't ever want to lose him.
I would never forgive myself if I did.
