Mesmerising

We arrived at the doctors, I felt like running back home at this point. Worrying about the task in hand I began to consider the thought of backing out.
"Joe" I face him whilst we waited for my appointment.
"Yeah" he says not allowing his eyes to leave the newspaper he was reading.
"I'm afraid of needles" I gulp, why did I put this on the list?
"Jane it will be fine literally you won't even feel it, you'll wonder why you worried and if it makes you feel better I shall come in with you"
"It would! God I'm such a wimp"
"Everyone is afraid of something" he states.

Then a loud voice shouting my name came from a nurse, must be me then.
Walking into the room I see all the medical equipment, giving me emerging goosebumps along my skin.

"Right you just stay there and I'll get the stuff ready" the nurse grinned widely, if she was trying to keep me calm she was doing a terrible job.
"Ok" I breathe out.
"Hey it's fine just think you could have a super rare blood type and be helping someone badly in need!"
"True" I say although I still had raging butterflies moving in all directions within my stomach.
"Honestly you'll wonder why you were worried I promise" he squeezes my hand, which made the butterflies ten times worse.
The nurse arrived back she sat down on the red leather chair which was towards my side, she rolled up my sleeve of my blouse before she begun.

I felt a slight pinch but nothing more, within two minutes it was over and done with, leaving me stunned.
"Now was that bad?" Joe smiled.
"Noo" I mumble embarrassingly.

After Joe repeatedly telling me ' I told you so ' we got back in the car and headed to the beach.
The car slowed down signalling we were here, parking gave it away! All of a sudden I had a huge rush of excitement vibrated through my bones,  I had done two tasks! Nearly three! I'm ticking them off! I find my arms floating towards Joe and before I know it I had him in a huge hug. At first he was caught of guard. But his arms soon were around my back.

"Thank you Joe, you seriously don't know what this means to me"
"It's fine I get to spend time with you that's all that matters!" He replies which stained my cheeks pink. We had parked somewhat near the beach, only a few strides was between us and the golden brown soft sands.
The afternoon was one of the best ones I've had for a very long time. Watching your friend struggle to put up a tent is a funny sight you need to see.
"Joe that looks nothing like a tent!" I laugh nearly crying.
"I think you've been looking a some crap tents this is the Joe sugg tent 5000 it's pretty splendid!"
"Oh is it now"  I respond. Deciding I had laughed enough I help by putting some of the parts together.
"No Jane you've just attached the floor to the roof!"
"No I haven't look at the picture" I point.
"No that's part b and you've put it to e, the alphabet doesn't go like that you wally, give it here" he says trying to grab it off me.
"No I'm actually right trust me" I pull it away from him. Soon a tug of war match begun. As it went back and forth between the two of us each time we tried proving why we were right. However as Joe pulled the part back he lost he footing slipping pulling me with it. We ended up as a pile on the floor, fits of laughter was all that could be herd miles away. Looking up I realise I was extremely close to Joe, in actual fact on top of him. Although I didn't flinch he eyes were so mesmerising leaving me in a trace.
I cough awakening myself. Then we got back to work.

Finally we had an awesome tent to camp in, over looking the sunset, truly beautiful.
As we asked one another questions a viewer popped over to say hello. A lot of people recognise him from a great distance! I day dream but Joe interrupts my thoughts.
"You didn't talk much when the viewer came over, you okay?"
"I'm not good with new people, don't know if you remember me messing up everything in front of you" I say.
"How could I forget it was sweet!" He says. Blushing once again.
"I'm really shy like really shy" I exaggerate the repeated words.
"You don't need to be your so easy to get along with, your personality is infectious."
"Well once you get to know me you can't shut me up so guess it is"
This boy made me actually feel fine within my own skin. A beautiful talent to have.
